There have been a couple of times in my life when I wore my hair pretty short, otherwise it has always been long, or at least shoulder length. Strangely, when it was short, I would often notice in my dreams that my hair was again long. When I have worn it long, it never seems to be something that I notice in my dreams one way or the other. </p>
<p>As for coloring, I was mostly gray by 26, and have colored it pretty consistently since then with one thing or another. Now, I go with a shade a tad lighter than my natural color would have been, and not as reddish, which can be too harsh. I tried getting more and more blondish, but DH didn’t like it. It has to be done every 5 weeks or so, so I do it myself these days.</p>
<p>I’ll embrace the gray when it doesn’t add 10-15 years (if that ever happens!).</p>
