I'm 35 and have as much or more grey hair than you do... and in the past I've only colored my hair 3 times...once myself and the other 2 in the salon. Recent years I didn't have a choice b/c I was nursing or pregnant and the past two years that the twins have been with us - it's like = "WHEN would I even have the time?"<br /><br />but honestly I can't stand being in a beauty shop. I hate every thing about it especailly the materialistic women and gossip. I only feel worse when I go so I DON'T! ;)<br /><br />I need to upload a recent photo of me and my grey... but last year I think it was I vowed to NEVER again color my hair. My mom had ALL WHITE hair all of my life (she had me at 38) and I can only hope to one day have hair as pretty as her's was ;)<br /><br />Love from TX! ~bonniebingo~bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591187786013490106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-15382385019357604212009-04-26T23:21:00.000-05:002009-04-26T23:21:00.000-05:00Oh, I forgot to say, that when your hair turns col...Oh, I forgot to say, that when your hair turns color, you may also have to change your make-up colors, too.

I get lots of compliments in it for the color.<br /><br />I use So Silver shampoo by Matrix, it is purple coming out of the bottle and on the expensive side, but it keeps my gray a more silver color than yellow. My daughter who is a hairdresser insisted on me using that in the beginning, and I am hooked on it. <br /><br />By the way, I think you are graying nicely--it looks really good on you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731276173410889180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-55717986457074583032009-04-25T18:30:00.000-05:002009-04-25T18:30:00.000-05:00I am 45 and colored my hair at a saloon for 5-6 ye...I am 45 and colored my hair at a saloon for 5-6 years. It was hell, sitting there with the skin on my head burning for over 30 min. every time. So I gave it up and let the color grow out. But there were two things that bothered me: 1hubby does not have one gray hair, he's like his granny who had no gray hairs when she died at the age 65. 2 I inherited a red/brown hair from my parents and it got not pretty gray, although it did not go mossgreen like my dad's there is sort of an unhealthy green sheen to it. So one day about three years ago I was walking past a drug store and saw the reflection of my self in the window and I just had it. Went in to the store and asked if they had a color for an allergy looser like me. Sure, it's called Nature Tint and it's great. I color my hair myself and because it's so short I need to use only half the dose at a time. The best part is that there is no burn.Sunna Reyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570777778421879884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-84276268595240504532009-04-24T08:55:00.000-05:002009-04-24T08:55:00.000-05:00I color for me!

In fact last time I got it cut I asked the hair dresser to put in gray highlights to help it all blend. It is slightly easier for those of us with light hair to begin with though. Most everyone says to me, oh is that gray? I thought it was blonde highlights!!Mama Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124372688717255658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-87045417349445748162009-04-23T11:23:00.000-05:002009-04-23T11:23:00.000-05:00Mary, you have received many opinions on coloring ...Mary, you have received many opinions on coloring your hair. I do notice you have a very young appearance to your skin and face which is somewhat of a contradiction to your greying hair. If the actual grey color bothers you, you may what to consider giving just the grey some blonde or light brown coloring, rather than leaving it grey in appearance. It would blend in well with your natural brown. A good hairdresser can do this for you every 6-7 weeks. I have my grey, - colored a blondish brown so that it looks like golden highlights. It just depends on how much you want to change your appearance. It must be bothering you a bit, or you would not have mentioned it here on your blog. I think your grey is more white than grey in tone, and it looks nice that way. White-white hair can be very attractive, and it is on you.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160457872569395644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-71650686879461570702009-04-23T11:20:00.000-05:002009-04-23T11:20:00.000-05:00Look at all the comments LOL!

I think you look fine with the gray hair and yet, your face is so youthful, it might be fun to color your hair. That's probably why people tell you to get it colored, because of your face looking so youthful. I had always planned to have the gray and never color because I can't stand messing with stuff like that. But it looked so horrible on me I just couldn't stand it so began to color it myself. It isn't too terrible to do; basically the alternative is just too awful to live with.sewprimitive karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125490235366694521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-80601752439475196042009-04-23T10:59:00.000-05:002009-04-23T10:59:00.000-05:00i don't color my hair - if i did then no one would...i don't color my hair - if i did then no one would call me the silver vixen!diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292769087215827768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-58520661720240211572009-04-23T10:55:00.000-05:002009-04-23T10:55:00.000-05:00I used to color my hair, but when it reached the p...I used to color my hair, but when it reached the point that I would have to color every 2 weeks I quit!

After coloring my hair for years, I finally gave up last year. It seemed I could never get the color just the way I wanted it, and eventually my hair just seemed always to feel like straw, even though I was having it done at a chi-chi salon that cost a fortune. Finally had to have it ALL cut off really short and grow it out. I'm making my peace with turning grey, hopefully not TOO fast...don't have that much grey for my age, I don't think.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861470381511685079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-86868448322172713832009-04-23T10:43:00.000-05:002009-04-23T10:43:00.000-05:00My hair is graying the same way yours is - and I a...My hair is graying the same way yours is - and I always wonder what to do.

Always said I wouldn't do it.........too much fussing. I pulled out my first gray hair when I was 16 & it's been downhill from there. In my 30's & early 40's I was always asked who frosted my hair because it looked so natural. LOL. As it got grayer it just leached the color out of my face & that bothered me more than the gray hair. Now in my 50's I do color it.....sometimes....and it REALLY needs it right now. Guess that will be part of getting ready for summer.
