My hair was always been a dishwater color and so I have colored it since I was 17. I don't think I want to stop now; beside which my husband has told me he doesn't want an old gray-haired wife. Of course, his hair is milk while, but then I think it looks much better on a man.

I have been toying with letting my hair go gray.. but I have such lousy hair.. very fine, very very straight, and not a lot of it anymore! So not only do I color my hair, but I have to set it in curlers or I have this straggly, flat, awful looking mess.. I have it long so that at least when the curl falls out (which is if a breeze blows past it, or a rain drop falls on it, or it's going to get foggy later on) then I can put it up and it's okay.. not good, but okay.. If I let it go gray, it would look gastly... just can't stand the idea of having children running away and women crying when they saw me coming!

I hear ya though..straight wispy, thinning hair..lost 1/2 of my hair after weight loss surgery and 18 months later it is still not as thick as it used to be!
wish I could perm, but too many meds for that now a days...

I use to highlight my hair then I wanted to donate it so I had to let to gorw out. they wanted virgin hair. It was past my waist and then was told I couldn't donate as they will not take gray hair. I cut it shoulder length and left it natural. I would say about 1/8 of it is gray. I will grow old gracefully no more highlighting for me. On top of that I don't have the money to do it even though I always did it myself since I was 16, no salon for me,

I love my salt n pepper hair and would not dream of coloring it.
My hair started turning in my 40's with white steaks right down the middle in the front and than some gray and than more white and gray mixed in.
You know what they say about gray and white hair...... gray are the lessons learned and white with lessons learned come wisdom.
My mom's oldest sister had the most beautiful white shiny hair and my mom was like me salt and pepper color.
