I hear that loud and clear. I and my sister have colored our hair since forever. A few years back my now deceased sister and her husband were traveling in Colorado. Her hair was just coming back in after several rounds of chemo. It was salt and pepper; more salt than pepper. When they had car trouble a state trooper stopped to help. No cell service where they were so the trooped called ahead for a towtruck. Doing so, he said "I have an elderly couple up here who need a tow." She went ballistic! Not at the officer of course. But when she got home she told us all about how insulted she was at being referred to as "elderly". She was 71. The day they returned she colored her hair! She died July 27, 2017 with lovely light brown hair! So, Cacus Stitchin, I hear you loud and clear!

I'm with Jo Anne B. Even though I'd do my own; seems it would be ok for a week then the gray would start showing. IF mine would go all white, I could handle it; I know 3 people who have all white and it is pretty; mine is NOT pretty; just a grunge color. LOL is that a color for hair? I know it i so for some quilting fabric. Mine seems to be about a 2 inch swath around the front of my face. I don't like it at all but am also tired of the coloring. Sigh Aging is the pits!

Tried to let it go natural couple years ago. Couldn’t do it! It’s grey, not at all pretty white. There is a difference. My Aunt had beautiful white hair so maybe I will get there? On me, grey looks old, haggard, tired! Not ready for that particular look.......

When I was younger I couldn't wait for my hair to turn white/gray. I just think white hair is beautiful. Now that I'm in my mid 70's my hair is still 90% dark brown with only about 10% gray. I guess that's not a bad thing because people have a hard time believing that I'm as old as I am. Every time I see/think of white hair I always visualize Barbara Bush & her beautiful hair.
