Poupette goes gray: week 10

It's now been 11 weeks since my last coloring (which I guesstimated to be around January 15th of 2013), and pretty much everybody in my entourage now knows I'm going gray.

The positive response I'm getting from everyone is absolutely mind-blowing and even a little overwhelming. But in a good way!

Now, every single time I meet people, they do look at the top of my head still; not in this awkward embarrassed-for-me kinda way, but in a truly eager way to see progress and how my voyage into grayhairdom is evolving.

Some would say that I have now achieved a somewhat inelegant skunk-stripy state, but I beg to differ. Yes, I have about an inch and a half of gray roots, showing through a fairly contrasted warm dark chestnut canopy, but I have decided that it is not a problem at all. I embrace it! I even showcase it by purposefully parting my hair straight through the now completely white patch on the left side of my forehead. Might as well! I think it's best to take this in-your-face approach so that people don't imagine for one second I don't realize what's going on on top of my own head. This way, they know and don't have to wonder if I forgot to go to the hair dresser :)

I'm also starting to play with different hair styles that emphasize the color contrasts I have going on. To tell you the truth, I cannot wait for my white stripes to grow to full length!

This journey is turning into a lot of fun, which is something that even a couple of weeks ago I would not have thought possible :) I'm beginning to realize that even though my hair is graying, it is emphasizing the youthfulness of my face! Go figure...

Anyway, enough rambling! I leave you with a few pictures from the past two weeks :)
