Hair matters – it just does, doesn’t it?!
As the years have gone by, my hair styles have
changed and so has my hair. At one time I had masses of hair - a challenge
to control. And at one time, it was a lovely healthy dark blonde. At this
point, the masses have thinned down and are still a challenge to control but in
a different way. And dark blonde is giving way to gray, and no matter how much
I try, I find it hard to think of it in terms of "silver threads among the
gold"! At the age of 3 my
granddaughter said to me, “Grandma your hair is so pretty. It's. ... it's. ... [searching for the right
word..] ... it’s gold!" Sweet child, lovely sentiment, but unfortunately, wrong commodity!
And grey matters. It starts early
when we begin to fear greying, then there's the first couple strands we either
pull out or try to pretend are blond, then we buy the hair color that promises
