Baby Boomers

it was always raven black and thick with this wild white streak in front from when I was struck by a car. I went from wearing it long to doing the Judy Carne shag thing for years for the ease of taking care (especially after having my daughter). And my hair always grew so fast. Now that I'm 67, my hair has thinned and it's been so devastating to me. I bought a wig... but I don't have the money to buy a really good one that I could comb like real hair. So, I've been disappointed in it. grrr...

I did go back to the shag cut, which I like, with a change to a punked out top, which I adore. I do still have some of the black streaks, but they've been overtaken by silver... not grey. And I like the silver, thankfully. The maintenance it would take to keep up the coloring is more than I could do, I think. So, punked-out silver-haired granny, I am! (LOL)

I am taking Viviscal to try to get some thickness back into my hair. Don't know for sure yet if it's helping. Haven't been on it long enough yet. I'm hopeful... have seen fewer hairs in the hair brush, so that's a good thing!

My best friend, 20 years younger than me, is one who's been coloring her hair all kinds of shades for a few years now. Never know for sure what she's going to show up with. One time it was bright blue... one time it was a brilliant shade of orange. Her daughter walked in with a beautiful shade of purple. I'm not quite that adventurous with my hair. I'd really like to have my deep black locks back... but again, but upkeep is a bit beyond my strength level, so I'm just trying to satisfied with my natural silver at this point. I've had a lot of compliments on it, so I take them and say a grateful "thank you."
