I did those until I was 41 years old.īy then, I was coloring every 2 weeks! I hated it. One day, my female boss was leaning over from behind as I sat at my desk, and she made a comment, ‘oh my goodness, for such a young woman, you sure have LOTS of grey!’ I felt so embarrassed and ashamed I did not want to be considered old!
