Gave up coloring the gray hairs a few years ago. Just salt & pepper for me. Now just wash and blow dry. Hubby didn't like it when I colored it anyway. He is all gray. lol

When I was younger my hair was black, started getting grey in my twenties, have never colored it. People always tell me what pretty hair I have. Im 62 now and have more salt than pepper.

I started going grey in my 30's and before I was 40 I was totally grey. I had to go every 3-4 weeks to have color touched up. We moved from NJ to Florida in 2000 and I didn't know anyone so I decided to get my hair cut really short and just let the color grow out from there. I'm really glad I did. I ended up with a platinum with natural highlights. People ask me all the time where I get my hair colored. That is really funny because I used to beg my mother to let me dye my hair platinum blonde. It is a whole lot healthier that I stopped putting color on it.

I have seen many people who die their hair and when they let it grow out to the gray, they look so much better. They have a softer look. I have never died mine and it is almost white. I am just too lazy. My hair grows very fast and I would be dying every 2 weeks. I think most of my friends like it. I usually love everyone's gray hair. I have several friends who are all gray and they look great. Your husband is just not used to it. He will adjust.

When I first started getting grays, I thought about colouring. Then they were fairly slow coming in....now I'm 53, still mostly brown and I'm thinking, I still don't want to spend any time or $$ on this. So what happens will happen, gray or not. Not doing the colour thing.
