I have white hair, done past the grey stage and was down the middle of my back in length..........started when I was in my 30's, from my dad's side of the family. I will be 50 in May, and like today, I just colored my hair, med auburn (original color) .......my mom is 69 and had very little grey. My dad was grey by 25 or earlier from what I remember being told. I just can't do it...the grey/white. We just moved to this area and went to the church in town yesterday, then eventually the pastor stopped by our house and was visiting. Was amazed as to how young I looked with the amount of grandchildren (7) I have. Thought my husband had "robbed" the cradel. He was to funny, but for me, grey makes me look older then my mother and I just don't feel that old yet.
The Wednesday before Christmas, I did get it cut to just below the shoulder for a new look but still don't have the heart to go all grey/white. So I will continue coloring.
