Grey Hair

A couple of years ago I started contemplating what it would look like if I dyed my hair a pretty shade of grey or at least got some cool grey highlights. I got the idea when I saw Stacy London's noticeable grey streak on TLC's What Not To Wear. I watch the show off and on and sometimes Stacy's grey streak is super obvious and sometimes it is non-existent. I wondered if it was natural or intentional. I started to ponder the general stigma and dread generally associated with grey or white hair and I couldn't figure out why most think of it as a curse or something to hide. I am starting to prematurely grey and I thought about what I would do when it became more noticeable. I love certain shades of grey and I am quite interested in possibly experimenting with it next time I go to the salon. Not one to typically jump on board with new trends, I had mixed feelings when I saw that grey hair was a major feature at the Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 Haute Couture runway collection. I felt like if I did it now then I would look like I was just following a trend and I HATE that idea, but at the same time, it was kind of cool to see my train of thought validated by someone else! I am starting a new job next week and office attire is required and unnatural hair color is against the code, but isn't grey technicly a natural shade? I am very seriously considering doind some grey, but I am still debating how much and where to put it. There are a lot of different options and I want to mull over my options carefully, and I might even go for the temporary dyes at first. I will do an update post with pictures after I get it done! I am very excited and I hope it works out like I want it to!
