Oct. 28, 2009 - Going Au Naturale'
We recently had a nice visit with my mom from Florida. She has dyed her hair for I don't know how long....20 years maybe? Recently, I had been encouraging her to just let it go and be happy with how God made her hair. She has beautiful, young skin for being in her 60's and I knew she'd look great.
For some reason...I can't remember now...she finally decided to do it. She did an in-between dye/highlight to avoid the "skunk look." (which we never saw) It has grown completely out now and she was so pleasantly surprised to see beautiful white hair underneath those years of fake brown.
When she got off the airplane a few weeks ago, we were all stunned at how different but great she looked! Now, I'm praying my hair comes in that white too one day.
I don't personally have anything against hair dye, but It seems that so many people spend so much time and money trying to be someone that they aren't, only to discover that the way God made them was/is truly beautiful in the first place!!
Here is my beautiful mama with Gilead Courage.

I am very partial to the white look as well Misti. My mother has such beautiful hair and we have tried to talk my grandmother in to letting herself go for years, lol! Tell your mother she looks gorgeous. I also think we should have an open forum about what these young lookers use for skin care!

I agree! My Grandmother colored her black until she was 90! Her standing next to her gray haired sons was funny! I think the gray/white hair is beautiful! Why do women feel ashamed of the gray? Good for your Mom! She is beautiful!!!
