Skunk Stripe

I started to gray early, like when I was in college.  I have never really associated gray hair with age.  See picture of me about 40 with natural hair color.  My husband hates it (I think he feels it ages him).  So I have dyed my hair for about 10 years.  I have decided when my brows get gray I will stop – I have one white eye brow hair – I can’t wait for more!  I am pretty sure it will be stark white when I let it go.  In the mean time I am lightening my hair so the roots are not such a white stripe in contrast to my un-natural brown hair.  But even with lighter hair I need to go to the salon every 3 weeks.  My scalp, nor my wallet can afford that so I spend about 1-2 weeks covering the skunk stripe with L’Oréal Root Magic – which is sort of like spray paint! Then I do my own roots, usually with Clairol root touch up, but I just tried New & Improved Root Touch UP – which was kind of awesome – no mixing and you can put lid back on and use again!!!  About every 8 weeks I go back to the salon.
