@Beka3695 sounds like a lovely weekend. I keep saying I am going to let my hair go natural grey but I chicken out every time. My daughter keeps encouraging me to do it. I was brave a cut a lot off it though. Yours looks lovely.

I've never dyed my hair, so have grey/silver speckled throughout my dark brown hair. But the thing I want to do - and will one day - but haven't yet had the courage to do yet, is get it cut really short. I'm a low-maintenance person and I only visit the hairdressers like once every year or two - I currently get it cut into a bob in between ear and shoulder length (it tends to be cut shoulder length, but the curl in the hair bounces it up), and then I just leave it as it grows until it feels too long and difficult to manage. Because there is so long between hair cuts it is always a lot that gets cut off, and this year I found some photos of people with dark brown curly hair like mine in very short pixie-ish cuts and took them with me to the hairdresser to ask their advice... the look the hairdresser gave me was pretty horrified and she cautioned "once you cut it off you can't put it back on! Better to do it slow, bit by bit"... so I chickened out and went with the usual bob!

I have a friend I hadn't seen for a while, and she is now rocking a short natural grey haircut. I complimented her on it because it looks awesome and I was thinking "I wish I was that brave" and initially she thought I was kidding because it is the first time she's gone natural and super short and she didn't do it because of looks - her daughter was raising money for a charity, and she decided she would donate all the money she was spending on regularly going to the hairdressers, and she just used some clippers at home to shave her hair really short (I saw it when it had grown out a bit), so she doesn't realise how awesome her hair looks to me because it's not what she really "likes" aesthetically.

I think hair is one of those "the grass is always greener" scenarios, where we always like other people's hair more than our own!

Love your hair @Beka3695! It looks glamourous, like what they do with some actresses hair in movies, so no wonder those young people thought it was all by design!

@Beka3695 and @machchic I love your hair. I am really considering doing this, I have until end of January to make up my mind as that is when I would get roots done.

The first couple months are really annoying. I won’t say hard. Having a broken leg is hard. Growing out your hair is annoying. I used a root touch up spray for a couple months. That helped with early transition. Now, the line is less defined and not as harsh. Also, I have had months to get used to the difference.

Even though I’m just 43 - I swear if I’m offered a senior discount I will take it!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good afternoon everyone!

Please accept my apologies for my absence this month. It has been chaos at work preventing me from doing basically anything (Found out on 12/2 that instead of sitting back doing my job I would be training as they were splitting our class...meaning 12+ hour days at my day job and still working my night job each night).

Things are finally settling down...for now. If you guys would still have me, I would love to still participate.

Even through the chaos, lack of sleep, and extra work ...

Whew! You have had a plate full!!
I am so impressed that you have lost considering the stress you have been under.

We are so glad you are back🥰🥰🥰🥰

Your weigh ins will be posted on the support team thru the end of the month and back on the main team in January. You are not alone there - you are hanging out with me😊

Love everyone's "natural" hair! I have a friend who did it last year. Her hairdresser begged her to ler her awesome silver hair grow out. All the young girls compliment her at work and ask her where she gets her color done. My hair is only speckled with grey when I don't dye it.

I have been chatting with my daughter's step mom about a joint baby shower gift.
We were discussing a Rocker/recliner. I looked at the one online that she wants - it has a weight limit of 225lbs.
Technically, I should not currently sit in it.... guess I need to get a move on!
