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.

Well, my normal hair is about 40% white. I've been dyeing it for a couple of years now, but recently I went to a henna gel because I didn't like what the dye was doing to my hair texture. So it's not black anymore with auburn highlights, it's either dark brown or red with white roots, depending on how long it's been since I did it (henna fades after a while).

I started getting white hair when I was 18, so I know how big a change it is. :)

I did henna in college, and dyed my hair red later when I decided that wasn't enough. Hmm. If I don't like these results, I might go with henna again.
