I can't remember if I posted this on another thread, but....
To join the 'hair' conversation, I am in the process of growing out color, and have resigned myself to the fact that I will look like hell for about 6 months!!

So you probably won't see any new pics of me for quite some time!!!
I just decided that enough is enough, my hair is grey, and so be it. It has to do with being true to who I really am, and honoring my authentic self... it's kind of hard to explain without sounding really cheesey. Think of the money I'll save!!

This way I won't have to dye my hair grey when I wear my Madam Hooch costume....all the better!!!
I'll keep you posted on my progrss, I can't wait til it is grown out enough to cut the color off. Fortunately I am NOT afraid of
VERY VERY short hair
OEJ, I have a friend with hair that texture and she swears that it is all about finding someone who can cut your hair in layers, thus eliminating the all-growing-straight-out-to -the-sides issue. Her hair looks great, and is a lot like yours in the CD photo. Good luck with it.
