Going grey

donnashuggy — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 07:38:21 GMT

I want to go grey, in fact I am really excited about it. Call me odd!

I was quite inspired reading this blog yesterday. I keep looking at my hair and hating the colour.

Trying to 'look' young is a bit silly isn't it. If you go grey you can look great by looking after yourself, good skin, etc.

Anyway, I'm determined to do it lol

I don't think it necessarily makes you look young...it can age...I'm happy not dyeing......carcinogens (in dye) and all...

Me and my hairdresser have changed my colour from dyed auburn through strawberry blond to now my natural silver over the past couple of years. I'm really happy with the "colour" that's come through and it is soooo much healthier and stronger. And my curls have come back which I thought I had lost with age.

I get so many compliments now about my hair I wish I had let it go years ago. Although probably not from when it started to change in my early 20s

Just do it!

I had shocks of white happen at my temples practically overnight after medical treatment. This was not growing out, but straight down waist-length hair...it was weird. It's growing out normally now. I hated it because it was a reminder, but would be complimented on it. It was a dead white, not grey.

I think I am happy to wait. Donna, when you get a little natural grey, then a bit more, you might like it or you might not, so just enjoy the colour for now 😉

No I kind of decided against it, as it is really a secondary device (doesn't do everything) I just ensure that EVERYTHING I wear has good pockets so my phone is ALWAYS on me.

I've long thought (even as a youngster) that gray hair can be attractive. I'd do tongue-stands for EmmyLou Harris.

I let my hair go grey last year, got utterly sick of going and having blonde foils put in my hair........so it just went naturally grey/white and I think of all the money I save in not having foils done every few weeks....

I wish I had let it go grey sooner...

Sorry Donna, but I have to be blonde.

My natural grey is a very 'dirty' grey.

Not nice at all. So I would still need some colouring

But if you can get away with it - go for it

Mine is salt & pepper with streaks of white - (was a redhead) all natural i've lost count of the number of people who have commented on the colour thinking I had it coloured that way. My SIL had dark hair and her's is speckled with grey and it looks amazing. My hair care consists of shampoo and a $20 cut every 6 weeks

Grey hair is hereditary - you get it from your children
