I am finally raising the white flag in the fight against gray hairs. Within the past four years or so, the white/silver hairs started making their appearance. Fortunately, I was able to stay on top of it by plucking the annoying things. And yes, I’m well aware of the old wives tale that for every gray hair plucked, two more grow in its place. But I assure you, it was worth it to me.
Oh vanity. Silly, silly vanity.
Then something happened after Ashlynn was born. Suddenly those gray hairs that I was trying to pretend didn’t exist, multiplied. Over night. I blame the hormones. There is certainly NO WAY that its because of my age.
And I continued to pluck.
But I had to face reality when Devyn tried counting the gray hairs in my part and we both lost track around 40-50. And that, my friends, is a punch to the ol’ pride.
So here I go. Off to the salon for my first hair color since I last dyed it an auburn color in 8th grade. I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m asking for help. I asked the Twitter and was told caramel or red highlights. So that’s what I Googled and came up with a few ideas.
What do you think? Do I do something fun? Or should I stick to my natural color as much as possible? Le sigh. Anyone want to come hold my hand next week?

You've had the same color every day for 32 years. I vote for #2 or #4. You only live once
#4...I say caramel highlights. You want coverage without a lot of maintenance!
2 and 5!!!!
I like 1 & 2.. or 4.
#4 for sure!! doooooo it.
I'm the oddball apparently, but I like #3!
I like #2 or #4!!! Go for it girl!!
I'm coming across the same problem.. Already.. Now, I haven't found 40, but enough plucking to make me ready to dye. I've been contemplating #5 for myself, but it seems to wash me out when I'm pale. I'm not sure what color your hair is naturally.. But close to your natural and some highlights might be good to start?
Not a popular choice so far but I really like #1 the best.
The roots grow out SOOO fast, so I think sticking to your natural color will help unless you want to get it redone every couple of weeks.
First of all, LOVE the new blog design! One of my favorites for sure. Call me crazy, but I liked #1 and #4 best. I agree that you should stick close to your natural and add just a few highlights of color so maintenance doesn't cost a fortune. I'm excited to see it once it's done. :)
I like #2! And I love your new header too! BTW, my hair was way gray years ago but I just started coloring it about 6 months ago. I keep it close to my natural color, just richer. :)
