If you try to dye back to the colour of your youth, it's very ageing. Anyway nature's kindness is that as your eyesight deteriorates,you are less likely to be able see the wrinkles
But your wrinkles are you, your hair colour is you. My wife's face showed all the times she'd laughed (and scowled) at me, her body was our kids, her hair her wisdom. Why this constant striving to be what we're not? Don't you appreciate your garden in it's various ages and stages? It's not all spring - autumn is stunningly beautiful - it's just different, that's all.
B3, can I ask are you a lady or chap, just curious? I worked with a sister who was grey at 30, but had a beatiful face, had gone grey early. I I disagree about dying your hair when you get older, whats older. My youngest 28 has been trying to get her hair to dye grey, unsucessfully. I think Theresa Mays grey hair is aging. It looks great on some people, I met a young teather a few months back, grey long looked gorgeous and I told her. I was fair, so went wite, I used to have blond hi-lites, ironically last summer I desided not to bother, stayed white, occasionally use a colour shampoo, not a hair dye, in the very pale pink, which I might add now the younguns are copying. My late Aunt used to berate me for colouring my hair, when she went white dyed it black, yes, looked awful, went to the hairdressers, who said you need to go lighter as you get older. What could I not do withut, my vaccum cleaner, we have 2 long haired dogs, Hubby shampooed the bedroom carpets last week, we have laminate everywhere else, I wanted laminate in there, he said no. Took the dogs on the beach last night, tide out, hes having to shampoo carpets again. Think I might be winning with the laminate!
OK - ignore 'your garden' - use 'nature' instead - the point is the same - age. The vibrant colour of flowers - the new growth of spring to the rustic colours of autumn. All just as beautiful in their own way.
I’m not grey yet but I’ve decided not to dye it whenever the day comes. Don’t fancy dumping a bunch of strong chemicals on my head, not to mention the constant upkeep. I do wear a little makeup some days, if I feel like it, but not a lot. Or should I say, not Alot. Alots hate makeup.
My wife wore little to no make-up, even when I first met her. BUT she wouldn't go 'out' without her lippy on. Why? I asked on multiple occasions who she was trying to be attractive to. She always replied that she wasn't trying to be attractive - it just made her feel better - but if that was the case, why not wear it all the time? So obviously, she wanted others in general to perceive her in a certain way - and that projection of how she felt others perceived her, made her feel better. Why? How?
I totally follow creating an impression and realising you're doing it - a businessman wearing a suit to appear professional - isn't a Dr more professional in a white coat? Being clean shaven (before it became the fashion thing to have stubble) to show you weren't lazy and got up in time to shave. But my wife didn't really 'know' (or at least, never told me) what the 'lippy' bit was trying to show. Isn't it all a bit ar** about face?
