    I quit coloring mine when I turned 70 (This past January.) I have short hair so all the color is gone now and I am like you...I have hair my hairdresser and many of my friends tell me they would love to have. I have one pronounced white streak in the front that my hairdresser said people pay really good money to have put in their hair. I didn't have to pay anyone....it was a gift from God! Being a natural redhead also has it's advantages...the gray never gets that salt and pepper look. It just sort fades into a soft, pretty color.

    Tried coloring my hair one time. I loved it until the roots started growing out. I sure don't want to spend the time nor the money to keep coloring so I just let it grow out. Now it's back to no color and I like it that way. Salt and pepper to be sure, mostly pepper (I think) at 62. My mother never colored her hair and she had the most beautiful gray hair. Hope mine will do the same.

    I started dyin at age 18 at the age of 47 I decided to go grey. And I lucked out I have a 2inch strip of pure white in the front right side and the rest is brown with grey and I'm 64 now. I feel good about myself grey so thats all that counts.

    I color my hair, I tried to let it go gray but i just could not let it grow out. It was just to gray and I am only in my early 40's.

    I have been gray for a couple of years now and I love it! I was blonde (it hides the gray better than brown dye) for many years. I let my roots grow out about an inch, then went in and got a buzz cut! My DH Loved the buzz cut. I liked the gray but it has since grown out and I will never dye it again!

    I agree with AKDaffyodil. Earned every one of them and it is a pretty head of hair.

    As I turned grey, I left it. My opinion is that I earned every single one and am proud to show it off. It also reminds my children what the did to me. LOL :lol:
