pictures don't lie. Attended a family function and I take god awful pictures to start with but yikes seeing them was shocking ...🤦♀️
I looked "old"...I'm not vain but this really shocked me.
I called my stylist and said "that phase is over" I'm going back to coloring & highlighting.
Next, called my esthetician and made my appts.
I've put me on the back burner the last 18 months being a caregiver -- made the decision it's time again for ME!

During Covid quarantine, when we couldn't go to the salon, my best friend and I made two opposite decisions from two opposite coasts. She stopped coloring her hair and I continued coloring mine at home. We live a continent apart but we're in daily communication. She sent me a recent photo and asked what I thought. OMG, what could I say? I couldn't hurt her feelings so I told her a 'fiblet' and said she looked very nice. I hope God will forgive me but I could not tell her the natural look provided her look with about 15 more years..

Please know you did the best for your friend because honestly I always have a great tan & many thought my hair looked great "blonde".
I didn't color for over 18 months just some highlighting...ugh...I "thought" it looked great too😉
And not to mention the "extra 20 lbs" needing to be addressed next🙄.

I've been coloring my hair since I was 16. I'm now 73. I don't EVER leave the house without makeup. I must say I see women my age (or even younger) who look 15 years OLDER because they wear no makeup and their hair is gray. I just don't wanna look like that. As long as I'm able, I'll be coloring my hair and wearing makeup!

@Vivian There's nothing wrong with a little white lie to spare someone's feelings. Not at all. Maybe she knows she looks older and wanted some reassurance. You did what a friend would do.

I just decided to stop coloring my hair to see just how much gray I have. Hairdresser says it's not completely gray yet. I don't want the Cruella De Vil look. I want it to be all gray but not a fan of salt and pepper.
My sis went gray and hers looks great but she's got a silver color with almost no pepper.
Anyway, it's only been 2 months. Hairdresser says my hair is healthier. We'll see if I stick to it. I've seen many ladies with silver hair that's absolutely beautiful. If mine is like that, I'll stay gray.

Love your attitude ...I need to get ME back...I never was like this in fact, I haven't worn make-up in awhile just a little blush...
I'm probably having a "good mid-life" crisis😉😉😉

This discussion makes me realize how far my hair and looks in general have gone down on the scale of what is important to me. I am old. Nothing is going to make me look young, nothing 10 or 15 years younger.
Better maybe. . . but it's not worth what I had been spending on hair and clothes, not in time, money or effort now. We have been through so much that all I want is for life to be a little simpler.

Good for you! I gave up coloring my own hair at home and now it's a treat to have it done by the pros! And frankly, I spent too much time doing it myself, it was a pain! I've decided that I am deserving of a "hair day"!!!

@Vivian I think it's fine if you tell her the truth. Maybe she's already doubting her decision.
