This is a question I've wondered about lately..... How am I going to stand growing this pixie short hair back out to a bob and if I make it, will I even like it in that style with this new color? Also, I can't help asking myself, "Does this hair color/style age me and if so, do I really mind since I am not 25 anymore, or 35, or 45 either for that matter?" When I get to feeling doubtful or frustrated, I find the best thing I can do for myself is go back to the "Going Gray Looking Great" website and peruse the photos of all those gals who have gone before me. There I find the support and encouragement I need to boost my spirit and eradicate my doubts about the choice I have made to quit coloring my hair. It will be what it will be. Short or long. Drab or dazzling. I remind myself it's more about who I am on the inside that shines through on the outside and less about my physical appearance. I've heard many quips like "you're as young as you feel" and "you'll always be young at heart" and I believe them to be true for the most part. So on I grow. The journey continues. Wish me luck.

I personally think that the longer it gets, the less you'll worry about the color aging you. It looks so striking already (wonderful contrast to your tan!); just imagine yourself with gray hair the length it is in the picture with the bob - I think that will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI honestly think the cut (and the glow we're seeing in the pic) make you look stunning. I can only hope my own silvers are as spectacular as yours!

Thanks Deirdre! I appreciate your thoughts and the compliments!! I do think I will like it long if I can get it there!!
ReplyDeleteThank you as well LadyBlueEyes! I wish you luck with your silvers!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful picture and you look great with the pixie cut. At least you know if you don't care for the bob once it's grown out you can always go shorter.
ReplyDeleteSo how's the growing-out process going? Not tempted to dye, I hope! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell I'm over from Rockin the Silver and glad I stopped by. You are looking divalicious...beautiful; your hair compliments your eyes and skin color. I just love it!
