VANITY AT ALL COSTS?

Last week I got up and just before I got my tired bod in the shower I looked in the mirror and there it was..NO NO NO....The top of my blonde hair was a dark blonde mousy streak / or the dreaded roots. I was going to Sallys and playing kitchen beautician and doing a good job of it I might add because one of my girlipoos told me how and its cheap to do my own bleach / sun streaks etc. Yet, that is not the point of what im going to write about here. Vanity? Maybe. I have that streak of dirty blonde and little GREY hairs. Not many mind you (see denial here) and for that im most grateful to the universe! Yet I have a few around my ears and I am not ready to deal with that. :) and yet I just said it here for the world to read "CHERYL HAS LITTLE GREY HAIRS" There universe...Bla ....nanny nanny nanny...You can not bother me now that im in acceptance mode! Ok...Now what? Most of my girlies say "Go to Sallys again silly" ..... The last time I put that bleach on my head it burned my scalp and burned my eyes and the burn was not a real burn just a feeling and yet it made me feel like I was nuts to do this to my body. The stink and ammonia in my nose was just dreadful and felt so TOXIC! I eat organic, 99 percent vegan 99 percent of the time! I use things like organic healthy dish soap to clean and wash my clothes in and only put minerals on my face now and then I go and put this toxic and i mean TOXIC nasties on my head near my brain for vanity? And ladies I have done a survey and talked to men and they do not like / and I mean almost all of them / like 99 percent do not like hair dye and they do not like lip stick. Dont write me and tell me about your man who loves your sexy red lips because I said 99 percent! :) And 99 percent hate and I mean hate with a capital H ....Hair dye...and they do not mind grey and love that you look they they do because they are not going to Sallys and dying their hair. So we are doing it for ourselves...and the men who do not realize we dye and bleach our locks... So now what for this girliepoo with the vanity issues? Well I have not made a decision. I do know i will not dye my hair in anyones house again and expose them to toxic stinks! So if i do then i have to dye in the garage :) see how this will be a pain? I do not hang around people who would even let me be toxic around them. Here are my choices: 1. Let it all grow out and be mousy and grey streaks around ears: NOT......NO....... 2. Use peroxide on roots to keep it a bit sunny...doing that now and it wont help grey but its ok as long as its a bit lighter. Warning: test this out as some become a nice orange. 3. Use the sun and lemons. I may do this next week .... 4. Use a natural product from whole foods and go darker. Like a henna? Any other Idels will appriciated. In saying all this I have seen alot of ladies natural that are my age and they are simply beautiful. I do know that I will give this all up maybe at retirement? maybe not....... Or ....I may cave and back at Sallys this California Girl goes!
