I have been asked if I want the seniors discount since I was 40 (I'm assuming it was the gray hair, although once or twice I said "I'm never wearing this dress again")
What I have been doing for the past couple of years is getting lowlights, the opposite of highlights. I's basically just reducing the amount of gray while still leaving some there so that you never have roots, everything just blends in.
I really like it and she uses my natural color.
