That would have been front page news.  When I look at most mature women that continue to color their hair, I see dryness.  Sometimes I think a wig would be better than coloring your hair for so many years.

Anyone think that we will ever stop making jabs at those who color their hair or those who go gray?

I recently asked my hairdresser if she had many women stop the color and go gray.  She said - yes a few, but none that stuck with it.  LOL  Color is just too easy!  And fun!  This is a regular conversation with my friends.  Most of us do the color.


I don’t find it to be a problem to get my roots colored every six weeks or so.  I need a trim at this time, anyway. 

 

I enjoy this “me” time. Love my long time stylist, and like chatting with the other ladies (and some guys) while I’m there.

No supplement, no pill is going to make you no longer grey. Sorry, but, save your money.

 


@SeaMaiden

 

I agree with SeaMaiden.  It all just sounds like snake oil in a pill.

 

This is so much more true for those of us who inherited "the gene."  I was 90% white at 32.  No pill is going to turn that around.  No way.

 

(Finally stopped coloring my own hair.  Wish I could afford to have it professionally done at a salon, but cannot since am now retired.  So...I grudginly have white hair cut just below the ears and 6 months ago put a 1-1/2" purple streak on the longer left side.  Get loads and loads of compliments on that streak, from men and women.)
