BLUE HAIR??

My hair color is naturally gray. I've added some blue, green and violet. I have to laugh when the younger folk ask me where I got my hair dyed... GRAY!!! 

A friend once suggested I dye my hair black. I didn't see the point. 

I get many compliments about my blue hair. I must give credit to my hairdresser in Busan!! 

When I suggest to people that perhaps they might color their hair too, they decline.

"It wouldn't be right. People would criticize and see me as an outcast," they say. 

Really? Seriously? Is that how they they see me? 

In fact I remember that when I was a youth the older, or elderly, women were dying their hair in pastel colors of pinks and blues. We used to point a finger in judgement. Shame on us!!!

I'm not trying to look younger. I like blue. I like colors. I want to have a colorful life!

Hey! It's time to get "out of your comfort zone". Live life! 

YOLO - - You only live once so make it fun and joyous!

They look, they stare.

They wonder how I dare

To add a little color...

BLUE HAIR!

I’m free, don’t you see.

I’m just being me.

Life is full of color.

Why be like one another?

Which road will you follow

Today and tomorrow?

Listen to your heart.

Every day make a new start.

What will they say? What will they think?

Dye it black – not pink!

But I like green and purple and

BLUE HAIR!

Life’s too short for retorts.

I like oceans and resorts.

Take a step to be bolder

When you’re young and when you’re older.

Let them look, let them stare

At the colors that you wear.

Invite them to embrace the view.

Remind them they can do it too!

It makes our world a little lighter

When you’re shining even brighter.

So don’t fret, don’t regret.

Never forget

Life is meant for living

For loving and for giving

For showing people that you care.

BLUE HAIR!
