I love your posts. I'm your age, and have lived the chin hair saga. I am pleased to see that I'm not the only one who uses her teeth as needed. But I no longer color my hair, as my last bottle of haircolor cost me over two thousand dollars. I tried to twist the cover with my teeth, and broke a crown right off. It hurt so much, I hurried through the rest of the procedure, not taking precautions, and spilled a large dollop of color into my eye. So, this require a trip to the emergency room to treat several burns on my cornea, and then to the dentist for a brand new crown. My hair is now natural.

all these stories make me glad I never started. Going gray naturally. I figured I have earned every gray hair, why try to hide it?
Also I think of a lady I used to work with who was well over 70 and had dark brown hair. Probably couldn't figure out how to stop coloring it. I don't want to end up like that.
