[QUOTE="donna723, post: 74956, member: 1883"] I've been going back and forth with the same thing lately. I've been coloring mine for the last 8 or 9 years - long enough that I have no idea now how gray it would be now if I DIDN'T color it! Mine didn't start turning gray at the temples or at the front, which wouldn't have looked too bad. Mine started graying right on the TOP, where it hung down and looked like a skunk stripe down the back of my head! Lovely! And it wasn't a "pretty" silver gray - it was coming in this ugly steel gray, colorless, lifeless shade. So, all this time, I've been coloring it the same dark brown shade that it always was before, which looks OK, I guess. I DO have "good" hair - it's very thick and shiny, and really straight. It's blunt cut, supposed to be right above my shoulders but I don't get in as often as I should so it's almost always longer. And people usually are surprised to find out how old I am - most think I'm about ten years younger. But lately I've been toying with the idea ... just "toying" mind you ... of seeing what it would look like if I let it go back to the gray! I know it's gotten a lot lighter than when I first started coloring it. But how do you do that?? I just can't go in to work "two-toned"! And there's no way I could let it grow out a little bit and then have it cut very short! I look awful with very short hair! And I still have jet-black eyebrows! That would look "funny" ... right??? If I left work on a Friday with dark brown hair and came back in Monday totally gray, would everything think I've aged twenty years over the weekend?? And is going from dark brown to gray like admitting ... "OK! SO I'M <u>OLD</u>! DEAL WITH IT!" OK, so I probably just talked myself out of it. But I'm [i]still[/i] thinking about it. It's just such a pain to have to color those gray roots every few weeks! [/QUOTE]
