Susan, you just have to know my "Royal Family". Noses get stuck where they don't belong. Gotta love 'em! LOL!

When I read this in my Bible I thought about this thread:
"Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life." Proverbs 16:31 |

I struggled with this for a long time. I dyed because my kids were little, but I would wrap up my wet hair and see this halo and got really curious...When I decided to go for it I had my hair seriously streaked which was really great camo for the grow-out time. Now it is not only naturally greying but long--I have what I call 'racing stripes' in the front. I get all kinds of compliments--more than I did before! I think it has brightened my face. I usually only wear blush, mascara and lipstick--but lipstick has become really important!
It made me feel more like myself, so it has worked for me. YOU have to feel good about your decision. It is a great adventure, kind of like a treasure hunt! |

| Well, I can tell you what mine is! By looking at my roots, it has to be completely gray! But I'm never going to let it go gray. I'm a med reddish brown. I do it myself at home. I had it done professionally twice and hated it both times. I'll never know how gray I am and I'm not sad about it. I can't go too light or I lok washed out so I know completely gray would look awful on me. |

I was in the eighth grade, at a sleep over, and my girlfriend said, "Annette, you have tons of grey hair!" I went home and begged my mom to let me start dying my hair. That started it. It's been every color under the sun. I have had a very hard life and struggled with depression for years, so by 19 I was over half grey, and the Dr says the depression was why. Oh well, here I am, 33, and this last year, I said goodbye to my last naturally dark hair:(.
I was just thinking about letting it go from dark brown salon color, to natural, and having my stylist put deliberate grey chunky streaks in (like Staci London, the girl from TLC's What Not to Wear and the old Pantene commercials). This way it looks more like I chose the grey, rather than the grey taking over. It will also maybe, help me slowly adjust to being a completely grey 33 year mother to toddlers....
I don't know. I'm finding it a VERY HARD decision, but I am a stay at home mom, and the money to color seems vain, or a bit wasteful. Ugh! My DH says go for it, but I always wonder if its because he doesn't care what color it is, or likes the $$ we'd save LOL
The tears I shed then, watered the flowers I harvest now.

| Its been 9 weeks since I went to the salon, and the silver is beginning to show. It doesn't seem to bother me at all. YET. I'm loving the posts on this thread, they are all so wonderful. |

After losing all my hair last year to chemotherapy, it has come back somewhat thicker and decidedly more dark than gray. My sister says to leave it alone, but I did like my light brown hair much better after learning all the gals where I worked used coloring on their hair. When we had a picture taken, I was the only one with gray hair! I still haven't colored it, though I have a box in my cupboard for doing just that.

My bathroom wall has streaks of orange on it from when my daughter died her beautiful light bright blonde hair to red! Must be time to paint since it was 10+ years ago!
