Gray Hair!!
 
Ok ladies! Whose gotta em!!! I looked at my hair the other day and I just about cried! :eek: I am only 34. At least for a little while longer. LOL I don't know what I will do when they really start to show. So how do you handle the gray hairs? Do you just let them grow and enjoy them or do you cover them up! :confused:

I go every 4 to 5 weeks and have it colored!! I would be totally gray if I didn't and I'm just not ready for that yet!:)

I am also 34. I have scattered gray hair on top. At least that is all I can see. I go about every three months and have my hair highlighted. It helps blend the gray hair in. I have light brown hair. I have the hairdresser put in dark and medium blonde highlights in. This works for now. When the grays get worse, I will reevaluate the problem. Isn't aging fun. Ha Ha

Emmsmom 12-19-2006 02:33 PM

LOL I already went in and got the highlights! LOL The last time I had them put in was back in the summer. I guess it is time to think about getting them again. I am NOT looking forward to aging. My hands are starting to age. Boy do I hate it.

My Mom is white and my Dad is very gray....like a steel color...my brother is totally gray...he is 47...I am 49...I have ALOT of gray....I am not totally gray though...I believe if I let it grow out I would probably be 50%...maybe more...I know I am very gray around my temples...However...I will NEVER know how gray I really am...My daughter is a hairdresser so I get my hair colored every 4 to 5 weeks...I will probably never let myself go natural..It just makes me feel old...and I'm not!

I am naturally a very dark brown but, as you get older you should go lighter...I wear my hair past my shoulders...My daughter just put in a new color...golden brown and then put in some lowlights...I LOVE it!! In the summer I have blonde highlights put in...I never know what color I am going to walk out of the salon with!! Believe me...I have walked away with some pretty interesting colors!! LOL...If you can't experiment on Mom you can you experiment on!! LOL!

My Dads side of the family grays very young, so many in my family are gray erly. My oldest daughter first found gray hair at age 15. She's now 33 and has stripes of silver in her dark auburn hair... like skunk stripes.

I finally gave in and started coloring my hair less than a year ago. It just makes me look too old. I am hoping that I get the silver like my Dad had rather than the ugly splotchy gray/brown mess my grandma had. Right now it seems to be heading silver, but I am 52.

khardy57 12-20-2006 04:35 AM

My Dad was totally gray at 30 but my Mother is 71 and has just in the past few years turned completely gray. Both my sisters would have white hair if they didn't color it (like Daddy) but I have a silver streak that starts at the left temple and goes across the top of my head like Mama. My younger sister let her gray grow out a few years ago and kept it that way for about 3 years. I can't do it. Gotta keep 'em covered up.:) Mama has never colored her hair and she's a retired hairdresser.

Emmsmom 12-20-2006 06:26 AM

My grandmother just turned 78 last month. I have yet to see her with white or silver hair! She ALWAYS has it colored. I am sure that I will also be coloring ! I just hate the thought of my hair turning. My husband has true salt and pepper hair. he has been that way since he was about 31. His chest hair is just now starting to catch up. LOLIt doesn't bother him. I think that is normal tho. Women tend to spaz about it more than men.

Janet 12-20-2006 06:35 AM

My Mom is 83 and she colors her hair. Doesn't really look that natural, but she said gray hair makes her look old...!! LOL :D

DianaB 12-20-2006 09:53 AM

I have gray hair too. Actually to be more correct I would have to say that mine is turning white. I've had a few gray hairs since my early twenties. I don't color mine because most of mine is around my face and I just pretend that it's highlights! I put a color on it for a while that gently washed out because I had a friend that was bothered by it, but I decided that it was my hair and I would wear it the way I wanted it.

2tiredmom 12-20-2006 02:29 PM

I'm 45 and I just have a few gray strands. Not going to color. I earned every one of these besides I'm not that concerned about my looks. I figure I've got my man
and it's for better or worse. My best friends mother in law has been white headed since she was 25. Her hair is beautiful. Why cover it up.

But that's just ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
