Grey and Blue

You know the mornings you wake up ready for a busy day.  You shower, curl your hair, apply your make-up eat a quick banana and run out the door while applying your lipgloss. As you drive down the freeway you do one last look in the rear-view mirror - {to make sure you don't have anything hanging from your nose or banana peel stuck to your newly applied lipgloss} - and you see something so horrifying you want to slam on your breaks right there to take a better look.
First let's get over the obvious.... 1 - Although my part makes it look like I am balding I really don't think I am so no need to worry.  2 - I KNOW my color VERY BADLY needs to be re-done.  I had to go a little long this time because my beloved hair stylist is going on maternity leave and I wanted to try and get in right before she left so I don't have to see someone new while she is out.  I didn't, however, realize it was so terrible. I should take pictures of the top of my head more often. 3 - I also didn't know I was so blonde?

GREY HAIR!!!!!!

Now this is not the first time I have found grey hair. August 25, 2008 was the first time I noticed a lone grey standing above the rest.  How could I forget, I logged it in history here.  But 3 years ago it was one grey hair and now it is 4!! Before we know it they will be taking over my entire head.  Come on hair, I am not even 30, don't give up on me now.

Needless to say I have less than excited feelings towards going grey at the wee age of 27. I immediately scheduled a hair appointment!
Notice my crazy grey's shining in the sun for all to enjoy
On a much happier note the day started rainy and grey {along with my hair} and ended up with beautiful blue skies worthy of an open sunroof. 
Again, my grey's want to make sure they get their attention against the blue sky
Ah well - what do you do.... I will just enjoy any bit of sun I can get and color over the sad loss of pigment and try to forget.... until the next time I wait too long to get my hair done.

You are beautiful! I love your hair! Also, when I read the "grey and blue" title, "black and yellow, black and yellow" popped into my head. hahaha

Several months ago I also found several grey hair's on my head. I was looking in the bathroom mirror at work with that alarmed look on my face when my boss walked in. I had to play it off like no big deal but...its a big deal. We 20-somethings have way too much stress in our lives! I also ran straight to the next hair appt. And so it begins...

Yikes... grey hair? Good thing I'm blonde so if i am grey i can't see it. lol. I'm in desperate need of a color touch up too. My roots are getting so bad. I'm jealous of the girls who can buy a box of hair dye at the store and have it look awesome. Not fair.
