MEET ALICE 57| Meditation Teacher/Realtor| Silver Since 2013 The life of my hair? growing up in the 70s with so much hair and not knowing what to do with it? I was bullied all through grade school and Jr. High, mostly because of my hair. I was called scarecrow for years, so of course I hated my hair. I tried everything I could think of to tame it, to no avail? Then finally at the age of 47, when I started to make life changing choices, for me, I decided to go as natural as possible. I started with going all gray, then years later I decided to stop using hot tools on my hair and let my natural curls do whatever they want. It wasn?t easy! I had many men and women asking me why? Why go gray so young?!?

@ALICESINOHUI | ARIZONA But it was so freeing? it gave me the courage to make choices for me, about me, for the first time, ever! As the gray came in and my hair became its natural self, the compliments started, random people at the store, at get-togethers - every day there would be compliments. The attention to my hair was oh so different from back in the 70s! I am so glad I made this decision. As a meditation teacher/facilitator, I have helped others with self love and to accept who they are and where they are? and they see in me a genuine soul, brave enough to embrace something not socially accepted because it ages a woman to have gray hair! Well, I did rewrite my story. I live the life I create and my husband of 5 years, who is my greatest fan, loves my hair? and me being 13 years his senior does not make me ever want to dye my hair, to look younger. Yout h comes from wit hin and my gray does not st op me from living? no more scarecrow?
