I colored for many years since I was a teen.... Brown, red, blonde in-between..... Til it got to be too much to cover without roots in 3 days...So I toughed it out til it grew out. Got a really stylish cut and I love it!
My color is silver, very shiny and healthy and I would never think of coloring again. I will be 60 next month and I don't think I look it.
For anyone who wants some support, go to Going Grey Looking Great. It is a wonderfully supportive group of women either thinking or going grey.... Great people! Lots of good info...
