i am a red head.(auburn really) .and i have never colored my hair..and it is going gray in the front..alot.
i would be scared to color it..IF i wanted to. my daughter colors hers red..aand it is hard for her to keep up. for some reason, the color red doesn't lst s long as other colors..according to her.
by the way, none of my kids of grands got my hair color..must be true, that it is a resessive trait.
