How to love my hair
How I did it: When people say grey is "difficult" I think it's only so when it's growing alongside a color. Once it is completely in it's natural state it's way easier to handle.
As far as the more-painful-and-longer-than-growing-in-your-bangs process goes, you do have to develop a little bit of attitude about yourself, if you don't have one already. Growing in your grey is not for sissies, as they say - you will get strange looks on the street. But the good news is a) you'll likely never look this bad again b) you only have to do it the once, and c) when it's done you'll be so proud of yourself, happier with your hair, and sexier than ever for having gone through the difficult yet liberating experience of truly (finally!) learning how not to care what people think of you. The reward is so worth it: bonafide confidence!
Lessons & tips: Two other things I did that helped: 1) Try a salon-grade, clear glaze a few times a year. Buy the best you can afford and do it at home - takes 3 minutes.
2) Switch to a homemade/soap-free facial cleanser, it makes the delicate hairs that frame your face stronger and healthier, which makes a big difference in your overall look.
