I've gone over to the dark side

In some ways, literally.

I always said I wouldn't dye my hair to cover the silver. I was going to age gracefully.

Then I looked in the mirror yesterday and realized how very much silver I have, especially obvious if I part my hair.

At the store today, I picked up a package of Nice 'N' Easy. I hope I chose the right tone of brown.

1. As I said to ca_bookwyrm, I'd rather wait at least until my baby's in high school before I go for that more mature look.

2. Gray/white/silver hair is caused by the absence of pigment, not the presence of it. Any dye would have to be on the outside of the hair shaft, rather than internalized into the proteins, so it wouldn't last as long.
