Marley, please wear it curly sometimes. I paid to have my hair look like this for a while!!!

You look delightful with curly hair Marley!

Apologies if someone has already mentioned it, however if the roots are bothering you, have you considered using one of those hair crayons that you can buy to tone the grey in until you can get to the hairdresser? I mean like these....

When my hair was darker I had one and it worked really well!
