    Hair gloss is like a light oil that you apply after you style your hair. Wal Mart carries hair gloss. Sometime it is called hair polish, hair shine or hair glissen. It just makes your hair look healthier.

    Well I'm sure sure thinking about it. Is 53 too young to be completely grey?

    My hair grows so fast I have to color it every 3 weeks. Plus it is down to my waist so it is a chore. But I'm not ready to go gray. My husband once said I don't need to color it for him. Believe me I don't do it for him. I do it for me. I'm not accepting my age, 56 very well.

    Me!!! With the money I save I can buy more fabric! After all, whatever color my hair really is, is what God made it. He doesn't make mistakes! It's sooo freeing to know that.

    My younger brothers got our mom's hair. Natural curly. Not me. Our mom was snow white at 60. I thought well we'll see what I do. I was a natural blond, and I figured I'd go white real quick. My brothers are snow white, and still have the curly hair (which they hated) and, at 70 I get darker with what looks like highlights. If I'm with my kids or grands to get a senior discount I have to now show an ID. It doesn't make my brothers happy at all.

    hi,
    I never colored my hair, and am now about 90% gray at 67 yo. My DH has always compllained that I make him look old with my gray hair (he is 82 :lol: ) Anyway this year he started to stop dying his hair, and now I hear nothing.

    I have also becauseof the gray hair been receiving senior discounts for a number of years. If young people only associate gray hair with senior I won't dissuade them.

    Also now you are seeing some Hollywood types going gray anad it may yet become mainstream.
    Sorry for such a long post, but I really like gray. :thumbup:

    I don't call it gray, I tell people mind is "God-colored". I decided I AM a grandma so I might as well look like one!--Besides living on social security, I can't afford the coloring. So I am a happy, God-colored grandma!!!!
