I was 14 when I found the first gray hair. My grandfather was completely white headed at 20. I started covering the gray in my 20's. I always said I would stop when I had grandkids. That happened at 42 and I was not ready to stop. I'm now 55 and no longer work so I stopped covering it. I knew I would not be able to stand it so I started adding highlights last year instead of dye. Then slowly cuting out the dyed hair. I'm down to one or two more cuts. By the way, the only one who wants me to dye it again is my grandson who is 13 lol.
