So the in-between bit commences

Well my ‘should I just go grey post‘ prompted lots of lovely and funny comments.  It seems many of us have quite strong feelings about our grey hair.  I do too, but that aside I can say with some confidence (and a little bit of trepidation) that I’ve decided to bin the hair dye and, well, just go for it actually.  No more hair dying for me.

STEP AWAY FROM THE HAIR DYE!!!!!

I have to say that thankfully I’m not doing this alone.  Wonderfully my post prompted a lovely lady whose blog I follow (Cerridwen’s Cauldron where she has been offering her wit, wisdom, humour, nonsense, rants and raves all brewed with a pinch of individuality since 2009) to offer to become my hair buddy.  We are going to attempt to get to the root of our hair issues.

Actually it’s not really a fair match. My hair buddy is growing her locks in following chemotherapy and has firmly set her sights on ensuring that her hair reaches her tailbone.  I on the other hand am neither dealing with such stressful circumstances nor have I set myself such a high benchmark. However I am hugely grateful for her offer of support.

So I thought it only fair to update you on my ponderings following your comments, guidance and hilarity following my suggestion.  I fully support and understand those of you who were honest enough to say that a ‘grey period’ would be your worst nightmare.  Likewise I celebrate those of you who have taken the plunge, love it and even get compliments on your dye free locks.

So this gal is going for it.  I can’t say it is going to be easy,  but it will certainly be interesting. Growing out any style, or even just growing your hair, is a bit of a challenge.

Whose Idea was this exactly?

There will be days when I will be so fed up that I will want to give in, book a hair appointment and hope that my hairdresser can wave a magic wand.  In theory during this ‘in between bit’ I may also look a bit strange – I have no way of knowing.

What I do know is that I’m up for this.  I also think steering clear of the nasty chemicals is no bad thing.  But that’s not why I’m doing it.  I curious to see what the real me looks like.

For those who may be interested I’ll keep you posted on how I’m getting on with “Project Grey” meantime this gal is heading out now to buy some hats!
