Clairol will be giving away a free box of Natural Instincts Vibrant hair color on Friday, May 13, 2011.
Some women become extremely upset when they find their first gray hair. They consider the existence of even one gray hair to be a proof that they are “getting old”. Or, at least, a sign that they are no longer teenagers, and therefore, not young anymore. It is my understanding that this is traumatic for some women.
I got my very first gray hairs when I was seventeen years old. They weren’t actually gray. Instead, they somehow skipped over being slightly lighter than my normally dark brown hair, to being a little washed out looking, to being gray, to just skipping ahead and turning silver. The silver reminds me of my grandmother’s hair. It didn’t make me feel “old”, since I was, in fact, still a teenager.
At the time, I was informed by my mother that her side of the family has a tendency to have all of their hair turn gray by the time a person reached age thirty. However, this didn’t end up happening for me. I just have a few silver hairs that I sometimes think are really obvious, and I am quite a few years past age thirty. (It didn’t happen that way for my mother, either).
When I was in college, I decided to learn how to dye my hair at home. I didn’t want to have to use bleach, because I didn’t like the idea of putting that particular chemical into my hair. Instead, I dyed my hair black for a few years. At the time, I thought it looked cool. Learning how to color my hair at home was a lot less expensive than having my hair dyed at a salon. As a college student, this was good for my budget.
They say that a person has be very careful on Friday the Thirteenth, in order to avoid running into some bad luck. Perhaps that is about to change, at least for some people. It just might change your hair color, too. Clairol is about to give away a free box of Natural Instincts Vibrant hair color on Friday, May 13, 2011.
