Although I don't really look like her, my hair does.

same here Nothing can be done for this hair but grow it and tie it back.

I am trying to get away from dyeing it so much... don't like putting all that crap on my skin and into the water table!

Am i just going through a phase?

I find the color dries my hair too much. I just don't care anymore, too much fussing.

I have dark ash blonde wavy hair. It's a dull color. Thin texture. I can't grow my hair very long like I could when I was in my 20's- now it just breaks off at a certain length.
Besides I think it makes me look older when it hangs down the sides of my head.
I like it short- I always cut it myself in a kind of Joan of Arc bowl cut.

I used to color it red for about 15 years- looked great. I always had to avoid exposing it to the sun however- red dyed hair turns pinkish or orange-ish with a few hours of sun! As I got older it did not look good as dark red, so I went a lighter golden red. I did that for a few years, but then I kept getting more and more sparkly silver hair that I kind of liked.

Last year at age 52 I finally decided that I had enough silver to make my natural ash blonde hair an interesting frosted look, so I just stopped coloring. My hair has been very short for many years so I didn't have to deal with long hair that was a different color than the new stuff growing out.
Now at 53 I love my new silver/pewter frosted hair. Women are always telling me that it looks like a very expensive frosting job.
