Hair battle

I have always had a battle with my hair. Even before I had any kind of illness. It has been every color of the rainbow (at least once.) Mostly I keep it pretty short or in a bob. It's very fine, straight and thin. I feel this limits me to what kind of style I can have. And don't even get me started on how many curly home perms I've had in my life.

When I turned 40 I was curious what color my hair actually was and I stopped coloring it... for a while that is. Then I would go back to dark brown or black, then grow it out again, then repeat this step over and over.

Then I had the brain tumor and no more color for me. Or so I thought. About a year later I tried organic henna and liked it. I've always been partial to red hair. So that was it! I was going to henna my hair every month or so and grow it out.

Orrrrr am I?

Honestly I kindove miss my natural hair color. And having a short pixie. It's so easy to care for (which is a really big deal to me right now) and I like the look. When I see a mature woman with a short pixie I think it's cute.

Here's what I'm sure of. I will never "box" or salon dye my hair ever again. I won't subject myself to chemicals. I like to play with my hair. It's a fun accessory that makes me happy. But I can't swear off changing it often or going back and forth on the henna or my natural color.
