Rosemary and Grey Hair - Part I

Toni Morrison - grey isn't so bad!

I am going grey. I know it, it's been coming for the past ten years. My paternal grandmother had a head full of beautiful white hair, that according to my father, she'd had since her early forties. I know that he was greying in his thirties, and my barely older sister has been dyeing her hair for years. I've seen them creeping in from my temples, and they are now growing in an unruly patch right in the front of my hair.

I've been talking about covering the grey - possibly with henna, possibly with dye off of the shelf, or even painting the greys with those dye sticks. I, however, haven't done anything because I've been a combination of lazy and scared. I don't know if the texture of my hair will change, I don't know if I'll want to keep it up, and to tell the truth, sometimes I think I'm OK with going grey now.

I say all of this, but I've also been researching the effects of rosemary essential oil and rosemary and sage rinses on grey hair. Supposedly the regular spraying of rosemary oil on the grey hair and scalp or regularly dousing of the hair with the rinse can stop and possibly even reverse the hands of time. I'm going to do a few more features on this topic with recipes and pictures. Stay tuned!
