It is absolutely Goddess hair!<br /><br />Whenever my husband asks me to do something about my appearance that I don't think is neccesary, I come up with something creative for him to do in exchange...like wax his back (or other "areas"), get his ear pierced or liposuction (okay, maybe a little over the top...but he knew I was trying to make a point). <br /><br />He usually completely forgets about whatever he suggested.Mama J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15121184312335060051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184558790884617669.post-37691922796395638372009-06-16T13:00:34.552-03:002009-06-16T13:00:34.552-03:00Thanks Tessa for the laugh and I will make sure he...Thanks Tessa for the laugh and I will make sure he reads all the lovely comments I've received.

Now if only I could put you in touch with my older sister who, known for her "bluntness", doesn't like my hair especially the length, and doesn't mind telling me I need to cut it short. That's one reason I'm letting it grow...when someone tells me I "need" to do something I tend to dig in my heels and do just the opposite. My other three sisters never comment on it at all...not sure if they just don't think anything of it or if they subscribe to "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!"Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452957979065342811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184558790884617669.post-13385713174493554412009-06-15T17:35:02.181-03:002009-06-15T17:35:02.181-03:00I love your hair- it is beautiful :) If dyeing you...I love your hair- it is beautiful :) If dyeing your hair is something you are not comfortable with, then I agree- don't do it :)<br /><br />My mother dyes her hair, and has for years. I assumed it was because of greys... and the other day she informed me (quite indignantly lol) that it was because her natural hair colour was boring. She actually doesn't have much grey yet! hah.<br /><br />I get highlights in my hair... i like them (as my mom said, my natural colour is pretty mousy). Aveda has probably the less-chemical laden dyes out there right now (without using something like henna).<br /><br />I agree with Jenell- women have so much body image stuff to deal with- I love that you are taking a stand! Your grey is beautiful, and it is wonderful to reclaim it!Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184558790884617669.post-46539785766209607312009-06-13T22:33:57.168-03:002009-06-13T22:33:57.168-03:00Hi mom.

Actuall...Mom, of course I think you look beautiful. Actually, it's funny you should be thinking about hair, because I have been too. Getting real tired of taking care of my long locks and might take the plunge this weekend and get a sort of bob cut . . . and this naturally led me to think about hair color.<br /><br />I must say, it's no wonder that Dad would be thinking about hair dye while watching your soap show. The last time I saw one there weren't exactly any women you could call natural on the show. Perhaps Dad needs a lesson on body image and the media!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696349282379608085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184558790884617669.post-64129118306117857742009-06-12T08:10:36.005-03:002009-06-12T08:10:36.005-03:00Marjean...I think you are a Goddess...I LOVE your ...Marjean...I think you are a Goddess...I LOVE your hair!! I think the grey is a lovely effect -- it's a badge of honour, as far as I'm concerned...like stretch marks and droopy boobs *grin*<br /><br />I must confess to being One Who Dyes -- more for effect than camoflage (sp?) (the grey is creeping in but there isn't enough of it yet to be stylish!) - I do a bright red thing which appeals to my inner rebel...but I'm looking forward to the day where I can sport my silver locks with pride...<br /><br />I'm with Jenell..do something outlandish (you can get temporary rinses)...to see how hubby likes it!! *sigh* Men.

Hair dye on some women is OK ...they seem to pull it off nicely... but on most women, well, it just looks ridiculous. <br /><br />If I ever do take the step I'm thinking of going purple...my favorite color.<br /><br />Speaking of fake...what's up with these imitation nails I'm seeing everywhere?Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452957979065342811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184558790884617669.post-21125661636230638872009-06-12T02:58:53.793-03:002009-06-12T02:58:53.793-03:00I say get some bright green kool aid and "dye...I say get some bright green kool aid and "dye" your hair with it to really freak your husband out! ;)<br /><br />No, but seriously, Marjean. Your hair is beautiful. And--it's yours. If you don't have a problem with it, I say keep it. When people dye their hair it never quite matches their skin tone. I, personally, think people look better with their natural color. <br /><br />Our culture is so obsessed with the image of youth. I'm only 36 and have grey hairs (I guess you might call it the tinsel effect!). People no longer stare at my breasts, they stare at my hair. heehee! But I don't care. Well, just a little, but not enough for it to undermine who I am underneath it all.<br /><br />You're awesome!Jenellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164841540974143325noreply@blogger.com
