Hair Today

Every 6 weeks or so it becomes time to dye my hair again. When I was young I had long, beautiful very dark brown almost black hair that reached down my back almost to my waist. It was my best feature. Well, that may be because I weighed 225 pounds and I was unhappy with all of my other features. My hair never let me down. It never looked fat no matter what I wore and if it got a little out of hand an old fashioned iron would do the trick. If nothing else at least my hair looked like Cher's.

When I reached 40 or so I decided to take some length off and cut my hair up to my shoulders. I had heard that once a woman is over 40 she should not wear her hair any longer than that. It makes her look old. Oh No!! Not that!! On top of that I also noticed grays invading my beautiful dark brown almost black hair. That really bothered me until I finally decided to do something about it. I found Preference by L'oreal. Oh yeah, Preference #4 was the one for me. I tried other colors but always came back to good old #4.

When I woke up this morning I looked in the mirror and saw the dreaded gray hair that makes me feel as old as the hills. I pulled out my old friend Preference #4 and am at this moment sitting and typing with this horrible smelling goop on my head. I know I will feel better about myself once I wash it all out and my hair is back to dark brown almost black. Begone gray hair!!
