Right after my 30th birthday, I started noticing grey hairs. Like literally, a few weeks after I turned 30! (smh) Honestly, I freaked out. I mean it was only one hair (at first), but it just let me know that I was getting "old". I had already been dyeing my hair for the last 10 years because I liked experimenting with different colors. But for some reason, having to dye my hair just changed things. Since that first sighting, I have been getting my hair colored every 8 weeks or so. The experimentation with color went away with my 20s, and I have just rocked variations of dark brunette locks. That is, up until about a year ago when my hair got damaged (long story) and I had to lay off color for a while. The recommended four months somehow became 14 months, and it wasn't until my hairstylist nagged begged asked me when I was going to color again that I noticed a lot more. Lets just say I can check the 30-35 in my age and grey hair category. When you have a thousand or so hairs on your head, that number doesn't seem like a lot, but it is when you can see them right here, and here, and over there and, well, you get my drift.
I have accidentally been wearing my hair in a subtle ombre style since last year, and since I'm finally ready to dye my hair again, I am faced with some tough decisions. Should I continue to embrace the ombre trend (which I'm not sure is still relevant enough to be called a trend), or go with some face framing highlights. Either way, I'm going to have to get 2 different colors, dark brown for all over and a copper highlight. My first choice is the latter, but I still love the look of ombre.

Actually, seeing them together, they are not very different from each other. I don't think I can go wrong either way. I will let you know which one I go with in a few weeks.
