Yes, and I love the freedom it gives me. If you wear the right earrings, you can look stunning.

I started to go completely grey at 18 and I'm now 57, almost 58. I've been coloring for a long time and have always said I will not leave this earth with grey hair. I made my husband promise to make sure I don't have a grey track in my casket. But I can't say I haven't at least thought about it. The problem is I've always had a young face and I think I'd have to cut my hair really short. I guess I'm just too vain. My mother always colored her hair as she had premature grey. We didn't live nearby and I remember when she went grey finally. My husband commented that he thought my mother had aged 25 years with the change. So I'm not ready now. Maybe never at this rate. I do admire others who have decided to let their hair go natural.

Yes. I've been coloring my hair since I was 14 yrs old. The hair color doesn't want to cover my gray any more & I am seriously considering letting it go gray & see how it looks.

No, I just can't do it. I'll go to my grave with a bottle of hair color in one hand. Whoops, no grave. I'm being cremated.

I didn't make that decision but my hair has a mind of its own. I figure that whatever is gray has been earned by life's trials. Haven't felt the need to color it yet but it's not that bad. I think you have to go with what you decide you want. If the gray doesn't bother you, leave it natural. If it does, color it.

When my hair grew back after chemo it came in salt and pepper. My husband (and friends) loves it this way so I am keeping it.
The gray is blending evenly and since it is I won't color it.
Sure is alot less work/expense!

I gave up coloring my hair about 4 years ago and love the freedom of not having to do my hair every 6 weeks or so.
