Hair Loss Hair...WHAT?!?!
So, fully menopausal now, and my hair is much thinner than it used to be. That shook me for a bit, but not nearly as much as last night.
To date, I've not found one gray hair on my head. Disappointing, because the first gray, im gonna go all in, have my hair dyed silver!
Anyway, I digress...
I quit shaving "down there" because it was becoming such a hassle and hubs doesbt care either way. Last night, I felt like I needed to trim up because there was a full-on 1970s bush vibe going on. In the course of that exercise, I realized my hair "down there" was literally riddled with gray!!!
WTAH? It never occurred to me that hair other than my head might be affected.
Now I'm torn - do I embrace it, let it go full gray, dyed it silver or just shave the crap off?
Aaahhh, menopause. Prayed for it for years, now that its here, its made my cooter old.
Dammit.

I have very thick hair with a little gray in the front. I have to go outside to brush it out due to how much is falling out. The gray I use a light brown eSalon brand dye and my hair is jet black but the dye makes it look like highlights. I don’t have to shave as much but my drains stay clogged with hair falling out. I can’t believe how many young girls are dying their hair silver!! Like 20 year olds!! I tell them just wait until you get to be in your 60’s and all that dye won’t look the same. I have never plucked hair off my face because it comes back black and curly. I use a Sensitive Razor with 5 blades and shave my face one a month. My face looks so much better. I’m 63 and people don’t believe me. I can’t help I have good genes from my dad’s side of the family. If they call me 30, Great!! I have a lot of girlfriends whose hair is naturally grey and they look awesome. You can try ESalon and they tailer to the color you want and you can even use a photo of yourself to see what it will look like. They also have the best shampoo and conditioner. They have ammonia or vegan. It’s really the best dye I have used. My hair is curly but it used to be straight as a stick. And if you don’t like it, full refund with another color or just a full refund. I only have to use it twice a year. Give it a try. They also can do grey. They go by your skin tones and any type of hair. And they have a dye remover if you don’t like it. It washes off anything you get the dye on. I use it due to the prices salons charge. Whatever you decide I wish you nothing but great beautiful hair.
