Hair
I saw a lady this weekend whose hair was long and gone white, but she looked very young and was nursing a baby. I thought if I had hair that pretty, I would never dye it, but it was only a momentary thought. I enjoy dying my hair too much, it amuses me.
I go mostly red, have since I was 19, various shades. I did do black a couple times and a dark sable most of last winter. I thought about going blonde, but if I do that then I would have to go into a salon and have it done. I've done blonde before (streaks and bleach) but it didn't look very good. I think I would have to have different shades woven in and I can't do that myself.
I have grown my hair very long now, the longest I've ever had it. It's only to the middle of my back but I don't think it will grow longer than this. I'll find out, since I don't plan to cut it again unless I have to. I used to keep it short because I would get nasty migraines when I grew it long (sensitive scalp) and my hair is very thick and heavy, even tho the hair itself is fine. Since I'm on all my meds for pain management and such, I haven't gotten migraines as often or as easily so maybe I won't have to cut my hair again.
It's a novel experience, having long hair. I'm not used to getting it caught behind me when I lean back or having to move it out of my way when I do things. I'm learning more how to braid it myself and I can now have a proper period hairstyle, which was the point. Now I just have to teach zdude and the kids how to french braid. =)
