Members of my family like yours were not in agreement. That was 6 months ago & I still find myself getting up in the mornings turning on the bathroom light & turning to see who that is in my mirror...Then I laugh smile and say I love my Gray!!!

He thought it made me look older, and he preferred the "natural" me! I'm 54 years old now, and although I am not 100% gray/white, I'm about halfway there. I get nothing but compliments on my hair, too. It is about 2 - 3 inches past shoulder length which seems to work for me. I think it is smart to keep in mind, though, that when the hair is gray, it does tend to make one look a bit washed out. I mostly wear black clothing pieces, but use pops of color, i.e. a bright jacket, or lipstick, or necklace. Don't overdo it, though! You don't want to come off as a clown! Hope that helps, and I think your hair is beautiful! I loved the article about Iris Apfel on the "going gray" blog that you shared. She is such an inspiration! Did you see the gorgeous husband she has? 97? Are you kidding me? They are a "rock-star" couple if I've ever seen one.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771661767576872674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-13138456470569458952012-02-09T10:57:32.057-08:002012-02-09T10:57:32.057-08:00In the 7th grade I tried Sun-In which turned my ha...In the 7th grade I tried Sun-In which turned my hair a vile green. Never again have I colored my hair! My hair used to be blond and strawberry reddish but gray and white are added often. That's okay; if it makes God happy, I'm happy. Dave never wanted me to color my hair nor even to wear cosmetics. The one time I wore, for me, a lot of cosmetics and then met Dave and his mother at a party, Dave didn't even recognize me! He looked me straight in the eyes and then away; I had to speak to him for him to know me. He was so shocked and then embarrassed but I found it funny.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-22928508266021748272012-02-08T21:33:00.748-08:002012-02-08T21:33:00.748-08:00Hi Kathy, well, I think you are beautiful just as ...Hi Kathy, well, I think you are beautiful just as you are. I say, be natural and age gracefully. I finally let my hair go naturally grey a few years ago after dying it brown, lighter with each year of course, until it was just pointless. They grey came through faster than I could earn the money to pay for another dye job, LOL It seems that most comments are for you to be natural.

Unfortunately for me, you married a guy who's family all went white really early and he passed that on to me so my hair is about 10 yrs ahead of yours in changing color. Ack! Don't think I'm ready to go white yet but when I do I hope I look like Paula Deen!A.

I dyed my hair til I was 40 - going from black to lite brown to a blondish streaking - following my hair dressers advice that dark hair makes you look older. Finally said enough was enough... Never was I unhappy with the decision. Free, Good God Almighty, I was free at last!!! Now that I have the dang wrinkles I am not happy but hey I earned every one of those wrinkles and those grey hairs so why not sport them.... Go to your hair dresser and let her help you decide. She is trained with the shape of your face etc, etc to pick out the best cut for you. Be happy... Hugs.

As soon as you could see the skunk line( :) ) after dying, my daughter said: Mom, you're getting grey, dye it, my colleagues said: Oh, you're getting grey, dye it, my friends said: Oh God, you ARE getting grey, DYE IT!!! so I always did. Then, before my son's high school exams ( I use to make promises sometimes to wish improbable things) I said to myself: if he passes, well, let's call it a dye (haha) and let it be. Now I have a lot of grey over my head, and people are still saying DYE IT! and my daughter: MOM YOU'RE SOOO GREY! But I really begun to LIKE it the way it is! Well, the promise is for two years, let's see what I do afterwards. Now I'm thinking I neve dye it again.

I have/had dark brown, nearly black hair and there's no way I was going to be a slave to that 'skunk line' (I loved that in your post!). Both my younger sisters streak/highlight/colour their hair, but their hair was lighter than mine. <br />How about a soft bob, between chin and shoulder. You'd retain the length but have a polished look that is a must with grey hair. Up here there are waaaaay too many women with long grey hair pulled back in a tail or a braid - not a very polished look at all.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-34123415860905796762012-02-04T09:39:30.761-08:002012-02-04T09:39:30.761-08:00I so enjoyed reading your post.

Grow it longer, cut it shorter....<br /><br />Mine is going gray/white also but still has a lot of the original golden red I was born with. The overall effect is a duller color than my original youthful color (sigh) but I will never dye it...I'm no good at that tyranny of having to keep on dying once one starts down that road. <br /><br />As you remarked, it does seem the bad hair days are much worse now than they ever were before! Mine is about your length and that's where I tend to keep it but am never quite satisfied with it. I'll be interested to see what you decide to do with the cut.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-37735121450329559432012-02-04T09:39:24.712-08:002012-02-04T09:39:24.712-08:00Loved the pictures!
