Vanity
Well, I'm thinking about my hair because my brother, who aids me with the cool factor, has suggested something to me. He has suggested that I dye my hair dark, like black.... and get some streaky highlights in it. My hair is pretty dark with reddish highlights and I had put some extra highlights in earlier this year, but they are pretty much grown out. So, I am now trying to decide what to do. He also thinks I should grow my hair out long like it used to be. Oh the deep decisions I am faced with. No, really, I'm not this shallow am I?
I always saw myself as the older woman with long flowing silver hair like my great grandmother. She would always wrap it up into a bun so you didn't know how long it was until she allowed us great grandkids to play with it. Oh the torture we would put her through. I loved her...Nanny is what we called her. She was the best. (although she did drop my mom on her head when she was a baby)
As I am getting older I am realizing that the greys do not come all beautiful and all at once like I imagined, but poke out here and there and are annoying. Should I embrace the greys like Nanny and be natural, or go for the hip look? I have always seen myself as the natural kinda girl, but am really more of a mish mosh of styles...my decorating is like that too. Hmmm. Where am I going with this thought. Well, I guess I just wonder what to do with my hair.

thinking of yourself does not make one shallow, always thinking of yourself does. I know vain, and you sister ain't vain.

Go as funky as you can...that's my advice. We're still young enough to do it.

I'm feeling your pain! What do I do with my hair? It's not vain, it's a serious question? :)
