I to, have been going gray for awhile and I let my hair dresser and hubs talk me into coloring a very long time ago, i will never let my hair go to gray, it looks awful. Some people look fabulous with gray and I envy them, but I'm not one of them. I told my hair dresser when I die she better come and do my hair and make sure NO gray is showing.

My kids talked me into letting it go gray. I am sure its because they didn't want me to look younger than them lol.. However I do like not coloring it. My mother swears I color it to get the look I have. She is 82 and her hair is just turning gray.

I now use it about every other week, I leave it in for a day before washing out.

I went grey a few years ago after coloring for a few years. My hair is thin and fine. After chemo treatments a couple years ago I was hoping for thick and curly....it came back just like it was before! ha In case you wonder I'm doing good.

I never colored my hair. I decided early-on that I didn't want to spend the money on hair color, so I've been going gray for years now. People have commented that my "salt and pepper" hair is beautiful. It's more gray than brown now, but I'm not going back!
BTW, if your husband complains, just tell him you'd rather live longer and avoid all the chemicals in the hair dye! If it's good enough for him, it should darn well be good enough for you!! :D

I used to wear mine colored and long - but it became too hard to keep up - almost weekly I had to touchup, and got so tired of it- One day my dear daddy said "You earned those gray hairs, leave it be natural and enjoy them">>>> and he was so right - I left them grow out - cut the length off, and became a middle aged woman - and enjoyed my hair so much; no messing around with dyes any longer.. no regrets! :)
