I was like "wow, did you count all your hairs? That's so precise!!"
I thought the same thing!
I am 49 and have not dyed or highlighted since March 2020, so almost 11 months of root growth. I had been toying with the idea of going au naturale for a few years and the pandemic gave me the excuse to go for it. I hate how slow this process is and how brassy the ends of my (bra strap-length) hair are. I don't want to go through this again! I might consider highlights or lowlights to give my hair more dimension and oomph, but won't try to cover the gray again. It is fascinating how my hair doesn't seem as gray as the roots did at just 4 weeks post-dye.
My mom and grandmothers never dyed their hair and I sometimes regret ever going down that road.
I'd rather spend the time and money on health and fitness than covering gray.
