I'm 55 and will keep dyeing my hair until who knows when. My husband once told me I didn't need to do it for him. I asked him why would I do it for him!!. I love the guy though. I do it because my hair which is down to my waist, is the only thing I feel proud of. I have scoliosis and am bent over really bad and use a mobility scooter. My hair grows so fast I have to color it every 3 to 4 weeks, but I'm worth it. Well, my ego is.

I don't color it any more. I've always had strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes.My hair is getting grayer but still looks more blonde then grey. I quit wearing makeup for the most part when I retired. I wear glasses and can't see to put mascara on without making a mess. My GD asked me last week why I don't paint my toenails(she's almost 5) It's so much easier this way....I am wash and go ready..... :D

Even though I am 44 and I had to go through hell getting all of these grey hairs and by golly I am showing them off!!! Plus I keep getting looks and flirts from younger women so it must be pleasing to the eye.
I guess I am just a Big Sexy Daddy!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I'm 40 and I don't have gray hair, the name on the box says Light Golden Brown! Lol :)
Now I only wear full makeup to church, to a nice resturaunt or other important event. Only eyeliner & mascara everywhere else, none if I'm home.

Natural Gray (white) in front still dark in back. My hair grows so fast I always looked like a skunk when I had my hair colored. Only tried it a very few times. I like my hair, makes me look like my Dad. Blush, lipstick and mascara with a very light eye shadow unless going somewhere special. At home, What You See Is What You Get!

Billy, I also deserved and earned each and every grey hair. About once every other year I decide to frost mine but my hubby is 10 years older than me and has been grey since he was 30 and his hair is snow white like his moms!!. Mine is mostly dark with a few a few silvers through out it like my moms. She is 80 and still has mostly dark hair.

I am 48 and have very little grey - people SAY they still have to look close to see any. I do not and will not ever dye my hair - I see nothing wrong with doing it - I just don't want the hassle... I'd rather just have grey and not worry about if it's covered or not... figure if I don't start I won't have to keep it up... our very grey haired pastor still does not believe that I don't color my hair!!
