And stop dyeing your hair?

Was it when you turned 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%  gray?

I was going to dye my hair today, but changed my mind .....

All of a sudden, I just don't want to do it anymore.

@RinaRina  I once had a thread about this which got a lot of replies and caused a lot of controversy.

Never dyed my hair; never will. I'm happy and secure with who I am... at every stage of my life. BTW, men love my hair....a bonus, even though I wouldn't change what I do either way.

I stopped when I was 50 years old.  I had no idea how gray I was when I decided to let it grow out natural.  I was maybe 30% gray.

 Twelve years later I am around 60% bright silver and 40% black/brown.

i got tired of coloring my hair every three weeks.

 It has been over a year since I did mine, I am afraid with me it is a losing battle, I found I was having to go every 4 weeks for touchups, and it was just not worth it to me anymore, I am who I am, if people don't like it, that is their problem not mine!

My hair stared growing in white when I had open heart surgery when I was 46. I'm 61 now and have been coloring since. I'm not working any more and I'm finding I'm going longer in between.  So I don't know for sure when I'll stop.

I never did it that much because I didn't like sitting that long in the chair and when I did it at home it was such a mess. I think I would rather spend time outside gazing at the trees and birds~things that made me happy.

When I was in college, my roommate helped me dye my hair. I wanted it to look like my grandmothers who's hair turned all silver white when she was 30!

WEll, my hair turned out orange! It was pretty funny actually. I looked like a bright clown so wore a scarf for awhile.

I think it truly depends on how you feel your best.

I'm lucky because I like my silver white hair and get lots of compliments from all ages but even if I didn't, what matters is that I like it and feel good about how I look.

So if you don't feel like doing it anymore, don't. And you will have a lot of company in women who have decided the very same thing!

I'm 59 and have never colored my hair.  I'm trying to age gracefully.

I've never colored my hair, I'm too darn lazy. For years, I've had several health issues, I didn't want to chance making them worse. I've been told quite a few times that my gray hair looks like I have blonde highlights in my hair. ( the gray in my hair is a soft, pretty, silvery gray)
