Gray Hair!!

[Janet]

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

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.

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

LOL I have got my man too! I just wanna look good while honoring my for better or for worse vows! LOL I am only 34 so I am not ready to get older just yet.

I'm 52 and yes, there is some gray up there. Mainly have a streak of gray with a light sprinkle elsewhere. I color my hair about every 3 months. Overall using a medium to light brown with a hint of red, then foil in both red and blonde. It makes a really natural look that does not show roots to badly. It's close enough and fades enough that it blends in well with my natural color. I'm in bad need of a color job now and will schedule very soon, may be next week, I have 3 days off.

No color for me - I LOVE LOVE LOVE my gray hair. I get tons of compliments on it too! Of course I am 55!

Sure wish I could go every 3 months to have mine colored. I need/have to go every 4-5 weeks. By the time my next appointment comes around there is at least an inch of gray at the roots. I am totally gray, but just don't think I would look right yet if i let it go. Otherwise you can bet I would just have it colored gray and forget it. I think I may try it this summer when no one really sees me that much and then if it looks bad, I'll go back to color again.

Oh, there is no way that I would be ready to go totally gray. NO WAY!!!! I know I'm showing my age, but I've cut my hair a little shorter, and have it colored nicely now, and when I'm all fixed up, people say I look younger. I've had a couple of customers comment that I'm looking younger. THAT's what I like to hear. If I went all gray, I couldn't handle people's comments on that. NO WAY.

Sorry, but I'm the baby of the family and extended family (14 cousins on both sides, and I'm the 13th on both sides). Just not ready to join the old ones, yet. I do have my man, but I want to keep him liking what he sees and feeling good about his woman. We're both getting older, and want to age gracefully, but not ready to throw in the towel.
