Well, i always had nice shoulder length hair. I got my first grey hair at 16 lol. But i decided i was never going to colour my hair, i wanted natural. By 40 i had beautiful salt and pepper hair, but by 45, it turned so white, but not just white, but the grey hair was very very coarse and dry, and the long grey hair looked ugly. So i decided for first time in life to go with short hair, that short grey hair would be nice lol, NOT. I did the short white hair for 5 years, and two years ago decided to colour it and grow it long again. For me, the grey hair whitewashed my face. But the real surprise was this. When i coloured my hair, i thought it would make it more dry and brittle, but the opposite happened. Every time i colour my hair it gets so soft, it's the texture it used to be before it was grey. I thought it would be a hastle and costly, but it only costs me 5 dollars, and i do it every 2 months, and only takes a few mins. So here's a picture of my short grey hair, doesnt look too bad, but was making me feel really old, and i just feel so much better now lol. For the record, i love grey hair, and thought i would love mine forever lol, but i guess things change :) The picture down below is age 48, and the picture in my avatar is age 50, two years ago
