    That's why my hair doesn't take color well!!!! I am going white, especially on my temples. My grandmother's hair is bright white. I'm not sure I like that. Love the color of yours. Wish mine would be that color and not bright white. I don't know if I am ready to go white, will be 55 in July.
    I am a teacher at a boys juvenile corrections facility and they can be a little matter of fact sometimes. I have been told several times it is time to die my hair. It's about time I hear that again--just waiting.

    I gave up the hair coloring years ago. It is very liberating. Having raised 4 teenagers, I earned every single gray hair and I wear them like a triumphant badge. My grandkids are now giving their parents gray hair now and I'm lovin' it!

    I am now gray. It took me 9 months and no one could tell since my hair had bleached out in the sun. I love it and my hubby says its my hair. It has much less body than when I colored itl But I really like it. I keep saying I am making a statement "Not afraid to go gray" while my sister in law has long blonde hair a tummy tuck and face lift and arm lift, now she wants a butt lift and her hands done., What ever. I am happy

    I colored my hair for 47 years. Retired, quit coloring, no makeup. More time for crafts. My mom had beautiful salt and pepper hair. Sadly I didn't tell her.

    I'm a hairdress and tried to go gray a few months ago and decided it just wasn't we, so had one of the girls at work make me a beige blonde and everyone loves it. So will keep it. Have to look good for the customers that come in that I do and everyone else.

    Yes, I also stopped coloring and now gray. My daughters think it looks better. Might as well enjoy. Look at the money you will save for quilting.
