Rita Hazan- True Color Conditioner


Rita Hazan says, "I am not afraid of changing an entire look. I thrive on that". Think about it, we are so invested in one aspect of our look that it takes a while to get ok with the new look. I have had short hair for a long long time with a little bit of "Maggies cuts her hair" from Mill on the floss into the mix. To grow my hair out now after 15 years feels like a big thing but I know I can come back to my short look. Very Oliver Twisty The gift of the Magi way, when i am ready to sport a new look, I have premature grey hair.  To color or not to color is the donkey situation of being between two stacks of hay. Look at the warnings on the hair color bottles that it may explode. Thats enough to make anyone run a mile away.  I once heard a TV host explain why she doesnt color her premature grey hair. It is a reminder of the ticking time.

Lets say you get past this like the butcher doing the killing for non vegetarians, you get your hair colored at a salon and there is the incessant root hairs growing in their original color. I thought a root concealer, whoever conceived of it, is cool. But a coverup, like getting old is wrong somehow.  Rita Hazan took four years to create a root concealer. There will be days when one needs that convenience.

The situation calls for a poem.

What are your thoughts, preferences and experiences for short, long, color or not, grey hair?

If we were marble sculpture

Color potrait makes me
wish we were all marbles
to begin with
like the white sculptures

We could then be
chameleons
then we wouldnt need any
makeup

And when we run out of
some color
like the laundry day
it will be canary yellow lips
and patched face


In the beginning, when the artist is looking how the colors are on a practice sheet, light color circle a bit to the left of a dark one, gave it a 3D look.
At 13:25, her nose seems like it is placed on the sheet
