Is The French Haircut a Thing? Yes! When I lived in Paris at 19 years old, I had one. It was more than just getting my stringy 19 year old shoulder length hai...

“You look like Medusa in the morning.” My husband lovingly remarked, early in our relationship.
I smiled.
Perhaps that was the moment I began to like my e...
I was sitting in my hair salon the other day and an extraordinary thing happened. I made it through not one, not two, but halfway through a third New Yorker I'd brought along with me to read...I knew in that brief period of happiness on Saturday that this was a feeling that I needed to pay attention to. To return to. To learn from. To make the rest of my week—or at least my weekends—more like that moment. To somehow build in more guilt-free zones. I'm not sure that will happen. But it was good to feel it and acknowledge it....

“Your hair’s just like my sister’s!” she cooed, as I entered the salon. “Let’s do a mixture of blonde, brown and ginger!”
Who knew that, in London, “ginger” meant pink? (Answer: my mother, who read all those nineteenth century English novels I never managed to get around to). Here I thought I was softening my look with some kind of golden honey tone, and instead I emerged with magenta streaks. I looked like some rare breed of Eurasian squirrel....

n the middle of 2020’s pandemic lockdown, everybody’s hair looked terrible and there was nothing anyone could do about it. We all had roots. Scowling at myself in the mirror one night, an idea sparked. What if I stopped coloring my hair? At 57, wasn’t that OK?
On September 4, 2020, the first day salons could legally open in Alameda County, I walked into my colorist’s tiny new salon, a converted shipping container in Oakland, filled with anticipation and relief. I could not wait to see how I might emerge....
"Not too short, right?" I showed him the picture of the perfectly coiffed model sporting a layered bob. "I like this."
He held up the chin-length strand of hair - his comb flirting the frayed ends. Lifted the razor and sliced - two inches from my head.
Excuse me!
"Excuse me?" I stammered....

For those of us who have just been in observation mode, how do you look after 5 weeks of no color? For me, I'm not convinced my hair will ever morph into silky silver locks. But, if I knew I would look like any of these 12 gray haired queens of Instagram I would totally go for it. How about you? ...
