I'm Finally In Style With Granny Hair

While watching a news show last week, I learned that the new height of fashion today, for about $700, is "Granny Hair!"  Young girls are paying to have their hair colored/stripped to gray, silver, and white for a big price tag.  That caught my attention. 

Years ago, I told Mark and the girls that I wanted to be the kind of grandma that had white hair, a big smile, gave big hugs, and smelled like lavender! I was still working when I became a grandmother and had a job that didn't allow for a skunk trail on my head while my hair grew out.  So, once I retired, I made the decision to let my hair grow out and see just how WHITE my hair really was.  I figured if I didn't like it, I could always go back to coloring it.

Little did I know that I would be STYLIN...and I didn't have the expensive ticket price!  Now that it has almost grown out, I am learning that my hair is much whiter in the front than in back like my mother's, is a totally different texture than before, and I actually can't wait for it to go totally white.
Mark took a photo of me to post (personally don't like selfies) so I could share it will all of you who have not seen me in a while so, next time you see me, you won't be surprised.  The first time Rory saw me after the change she said, "Grammy, you look like Frozen!"  I laughed and agreed, I am starting to look like Elsa, but I think she's whiter than I am.  Hummm, maybe that is what started the Granny hair movement.

If I'm starting to look old..I might as well embrace it!

So, I'm here to tell you that you can have white hair and love it...and be in style!
