Started going grey at the temples in my mid 40's. Hated that a week after a professional colour job that telltale white line would start showing up again. Finally decided to just grow it out and went thru misery for a few months. A hip shorter cut really helped. Now I am salt and pepper--leaning more to the salt all the time. I have been asked where I get my colour done 'because those streaks look so natural' LOL. I too like the money that I am not spending at the hairdresser--more fabric!!
