Like it or not, my hair is not just gray (grey?) but growing out like Witch Hazel on Bugs Bunny – Here’s the link if you wanna take a look: https://giphy.com/explore/witch-hazel. HAHAHAHAHA!
See, we’re still on lock-down and hair studios are not set to open until mid-July. OMG! Seriously? Yes, seriously. My dumb hair is one thing… but the people out of work! This just sucks so hard. Ugh!

I’m talking bowling ball bald here. And now, after all these years, I can identify as my hair is gone. A victim of the shower drain.
