I've been high raw for 4 months and 100% for the past couple of months and already I've seen incredible physical improvements some of which are kind of hard to believe. Premature grey runs in my family. Pretty much everybody on my mother's side started having salt and pepper hair in their mid-20s. To my horror, I discovered several strands of grey about a year ago. I kind of knew that it would be inevitable, but I'm too young to have grey hair!!! And it happened overnight, or so it seems.
About a month ago, I mentioned to my hair stylist that I had been toying with the idea of dyeing my hair, because I was starting graduate school and didn't want to look like I was old enough to be my classmates' aunt. I am not particularly fond of the idea, but turning grey at my age is just too traumatic. :( I have seen women who look gorgeous even with grey hair, premature or not, but I just HATE my grey hair. My hair is dark, fine, smooth, and straight. The grey strands are coarse, curly, and dull. I also hate that they stick out like crazy and there's nothing I can do about it. And for a while, it seemed the dark strands were getting outnumbered by the grey strands.
Anyway, last week I went in to have my hair cut and (gulp) colored ( :eek: ). As my hair stylist ran her fingers through my hair she said that several (not all, but about 3/4 of them) of the grey strands were dark at the roots!!! They have returned to their original color AND texture. I didn't have my hair colored that day. Whoo hoo!
My hair stylist thought it was amazing and said she had never seen anything like that. Does anyone have this experience after they've gone raw for a few months? I'm very excited about this.
My vision has improved too. I thought I would need stronger prescription, but, as it turned out, I no longer do. Yeah!! :D
