I had my hair frosted when I was 21. That was the only time I ever did any color to my hair. I told family & friends when I lost 100 lbs. that I was going to cut my hair. My daughter took me to a really nice salon & 32 inches was taken off my hair. Hair dresser asked me if I had my hair frosted...I just laughed & said 'no it's all natural' & she told me that her salon was now carrying 8 different shades of gray because it is the in thing.
So what if I have more gray than my mom...lol. It looks good on me, so lots of people say. Besides when I wear red..I do look pretty good. Just a few more pounds to go & I will stop! maybe.... lol

Don't use color myself...went gray/while years ago and thought color was too much trouble. I usually try to convince folks to keep hair natural...but since some still insist on it, I can only encourage them to keep up with the color. I relate visible roots with men who do comb-overs...not realistic about what's happening naturally...no offense intended to anyone.

does the natural instincts really stay in for 28 hair washings?
what kind of shampoo do you use? I am thinking of trying it--all the others usually sting and the fumes from them bother my allergies.

I stopped coloring last fall, after over 25 years. I started going gray in my early 30's. With taking strong meds for my RA, I didn't want any more chemicals going on my body anymore. So now I am my natural silver-gray. I use Pantene Silver Expressions shampoo, and am really starting to love my "new" look.
