A question for grey haired ladies that transitioned from coloring to natural.

My girlfriends stylist did hightlights on her hair as it grew out. It grew out gracefully.

thats good to know for when the time comes. I have very long hair

I also worked with my stylist, she highlighted my short layered cut a couple of times over the year it took for it to completely grow out. Funny thing, I had colored my hair for so long that I forgot what my real hair color was! I thought it was the dark, rich warm brown with copper highlights that I got so many compliment on...wrong! My hair is actually blue/black, who knew! I still have a lot black on the back of my head which is a nice contrast with the white. I'm glad I did it, absolutely love it! Good Luck.

I have seen color charts in salons with gray on there. I was dyed red when I decided to let my natural color take over. I probably couldn't have done it, if I had not been staying home caring for my momat the time. I wasn't out much, so I didn't care what it looked like. I let the roots grow quite awhile, then cut my hair really short, it didn't take long for my process. I am glad i did it now. Every so often I will dream that I colored my hair again & was sick about it,lol...

I played around with hair color since late teens. I guess you could call it my hobby. I basically had every color in the book. After marriage and four kids my hair started to be color resistant. I did not know why. I went to a salon that dyed my hair telling me the problem was my hair was turning gray and I would soon look old if I did not keep it up. What was once economical became expensive. And one day I came down with vertigo not related to my hair color situation. I could no longer go back into a sink. It was a benign inner ear condition which still comes and goes. My color resistant hair was silver white after a short period of time not being able to color it. Bottom line.... I am loving it. My hair is solid color and people refer to me AS THE BLOND when they describe me.

In my case this color is the best I ever owned. I think it is a personal thing. I would never go back.

I am still salt & pepper but I stopped coloring 5 years ago. I had my hair cut in short layers and most of my gray was on top and it grew in quickly. Not bragging but I get compliments on the color of my hair from hair stylists. They have actually told me never color my hair. My hair is healthy and not dried out and I still wear it short because it is easy care. Get it cut every 12 weeks. I am not aware of any gray coloring because I remember asking that same question 5 years ago but maybe they now have something but I do not know.
