New hairdo, new me

For the last two years, my hair has been dyed blonde. Naturally I have very dark hair. I decided to change to blonde because I noticed grey starting to come through. I loved the change but hated the maintenance of it. I’m not a high maintenance girl and by that I mean that I have never really prioritised my appearance. I barely wear any makeup or get my nails done. As long as I am clean and tidy ….. well, to be honest I’m happiest when I’m up to my elbows in soil in the garden.
For the last couple of years I have sported a badger look with my lovely blonde hair and super dark roots. This look can be carried off by some but definitely not me! I had fun being blonde but not any more than being brown 😂
I decided to go dark again and to embrace my incoming grey hair. My new hairdresser told me ‘you have a little grey but not much and when it grows your roots will definitely not be like a badger’ 😂 We are at the start of autumn and I felt it was a good time to do it. I’ve been trying so many new things recently, what’s one more thing on the list!

Does it matter if my grey comes through, I don’t think so actually. I love that I have earned the right to have distinguished grey speckles through my hair. I will be keeping them 😊 I am a girl born in Scotland and with that comes my super pale skin, dark hair and a certain sarcastic (but hopefully not offensive) sense of humour (my favourite comedian ever being Billy Connelly. Direct, observant, and a great storyteller). I think most Scots grew up listening to him. 

I am proud of the fact that I am fast approaching 48. In a week, I will celebrate with my beloved husband as we always do. I have achieved a lot in life and hopefully I still have many more adventures to come.
I’m super happy to have created this space where I can continue to learn, grow and share my experiences with you all.

Back to my own colour. Well, 95% there. It’s really a bit darker again but there’s only so much you can do in one appointment when you previous colour was super light blonde 😊
