I’ve been telling my wife for a very long time she should stop coloring her hair.....I tell her the only person she has to impress is me, and I don’t care.
I get that, but maybe she’s like I am, wanting to look as young as I feel. I think that if I didn’t color my hair, that I would feel “old”. Men looks distinguished and handsome as they gray. Women look mousy and tired. Well, I’m not tired, and I don’t want my hair color to drag me down. So let her do it if she wants to.
I have an older friend who I think may be nearing 80. She refuses to say how old she is. She still colors her hair, and I think it helps her feel younger too. She’s a gem. If she can still color hers, I figure, why not?
I do not want people to start looking at me in a way that would suggest I’m inactive or waning. I like having energy. Like I said before, I’m going kicking and screaming into the next phase of life.
