I didn't read all the post so I am sure some of you have said the same thing... I colored my hair for over 20 years cause I started going gray early,... finally just had enough of it as my hair grows really fast.. my husband didnt like it at first but he can get over it... it is all gray now & I get so many compliments on it's color as it is an odd mixture of salt & pepper with a little brown thrown in there!!! The chemicals from the air dye made my hair really thin cause I had to do so often so now hve a thick head of hair again... guess it is up to the person but I love my gray hair
