I have colored mine since my mid 30's. Wow, almost 20 years. My hair grows so fast that I have to color it or touch up the roots every 3 weeks. I would love to stop coloring. It's just that most people think I am 10 years younger than I really am. With gray hair I am sure I will look 10 years older. I'm just not ready for that. But when I am, I may try the silver dye idea.
