I’m Finally Committed

This year my dear hubby retired.  In an effort to try to save money I decided that I would try to reduce the amount of money that I spend at the hair salon. I was coloring my hair every five weeks and this cost me about $110 each visit.(That comes up to $220 spend every ten weeks)   I decided that the way to reduce the cost at the hair salon was to reduce how often I colored my hair.  Helen suggested that I just put lowlights in and then my natural color would start to show.  By the way, my natural color is the beautiful color called white…I mean gray. She also suggested that I stretch out the appointment to eight weeks and we would do the lowlights. The lowlights would cost $110 per visit. (That comes to $137.50 every ten weeks.)  I agreed.  It has been maybe six months since I have been doing the lowlights.  I admit that I did receive compliments on my hair. The problem is that I can not stand the length of my hair after about the fifth week.  It bugs me so much that I begin to take the scissors to it and try to trim it up a bit.  I discovered that I am not good at trimming my own hair – even just my bangs.  So today when I had my appointment I did it.  I told Helen that I wanted to see her every five weeks to cut my hair and I would let my highlights go. The cost $48. So now I will spend $96 every ten weeks.  Goal accomplished – money saved. I am happy that my hair will be trimmed more often and I’m hoping and crossing my fingers that my white hair does look beautiful…and is really not a dingy gray.

As my daughter loves to quote:

Proverbs 16:31     White hair is a crown of honor obtained by righteous living.

PS   I know that some bible versions use the word gray instead of white but I’m sticking with the versions that say white.
