Though I nickle and dime my poor husband to death at Target and spend a small fortune on decor, entertaining and my little ladies, I am pretty cheap when it comes to my own "maintenance". I don't get my nails done other than special occasions. I wear a lot of Old Navy and plan to drive my 2007 minivan into the ground even as all my friends are trading theirs in for fancy SUV's. Other than a few good anti-aging products from my doctor and a small collection of better makeup, I really am not a product junkie. At almost 40, my routine is having to changing a bit. Here I am keeping it real with no filter in my minivan:
I see that wrinkled brow, but this post is about my hair......
Getting my hair done used to be for fun and fashion only. I could go long stretches with no cut and I colored even less frequently. When I got a few grays, they just blended in with whatever fun treatment I was doing at the time. At 38, I started noticing the grays started multiplying and coming in FAST. For all the many beauty things I don't do, I just felt like I had to address this. I started making more regular appointments. I tried coloring it myself every other time with mixed results. I shopped around for a cheaper salon (and found one). Even at the less expensive place, the cost of getting my hair done every six weeks was shocking to this low maintenance woman! I try to stretch as long as I can, but I'm 5'3"..... so this is what everyone sees by week 5:
It is available at any old store--I get mine at Walgreens. It is under $10 a bottle and I can't say enough good things about it. You just spray it on--it doesn't wipe off on my clothing or sheets and it washes away at the next shampoo (I usually shampoo daily so I am not sure how long it stays, but at least 24 hours). It blends right in with my hair--I use light brown and saves me until my next color. One bottle lasts awhile so it's a great value! I think this would also work well if you were growing out any dye job not just grays.
Now if only, I knew of something so cheap and easy to erase those forehead wrinkles.....

Ohhh....love this tip! I have dark hair, and have started going grey. I hate those in between stages. Thanks for sharing. :)
I'm a Target addict too!! I will definitely pick this up on my next trip :) Thanks for sharing...can't wait to cover up my "extra white blonde" pieces haha
You are so YOUNG! Or maybe it's that I'm so OLD! My hair has become a nightmare - the gray roots start showing by week 3. I just bought this powder for touch ups (I think it is called WOW). It is expensive, and the first time I saw the price, I put it back. Eventually I was desperate, and bought it, but it works! I may have to give the spray a try - it's a lot more economical!
