Tress Stress

 Are your tresses in distress? Your friendly neighbourhood stylist has a solution for every kind of stress - distress. I turned sixty recently and have sported a salt-pepper head of hair for quite a few years. Although many of my peers complain about having 'hair issues' I'm proud of my head of hair. Many remain intrigued by my silver strands and wonder why I have still not dyed my hair.

I am not sure why I have not got down to dyeing my hair or getting those highlights.  As of now, I am comfortable with the way my hair looks. Most of the silver strands take cover beneath the peppered ones. A few choose to peek out and I am pretty okay with that. I will undoubtedly look better or worse with dyed hair. When I am not okay with the way my hair looks, I will consider dyeing and highlighting. After all, a woman is not judged by the colour of her hair. Someone even remarked, "Now that your sons have grown up, "why don't you colour your hair?".
 So what is the big deal? I love my hair, just the way it is. Just because every Jane, Jill and Jessie colours her hair,  must I dye mine? I have seen older women age ever so gracefully - silver-haired and poised to perfection. Silver or blue, it is your heart that must sport the right colour.
