How do you feel about your grey hair?

[Elisi]

How do you feel about your grey hair? Will you dye it till you die? Or will you/have you embraced your natural colour? Does society focus on youthfulness and/or influence your decision?

Don't have much grey. I have lighter highlights in summer and a red tone in the winter. My hair is like my hat, I change it all the time.

I want to like my grey hair, in fact I want to be able to accept my grey hair but I honestly have to say that I dye my hair to hide the grey because it's the 'done thing' .
Ever since my early 30s I have been dying my hair to hide grey hair. At first it was what I wanted to do, in fact I have been almost every colour going but now we are bombarded with ads proclaiming that we ladies of a certain age should hide the grey , if we don't we will become old , unattractive and invisible.
This goes against everything that is me. I have always bucked the trend, so why do I carry on every few weeks colouring my hair ?
I do like the colour my hair is at the moment, it's a mid blonde colour. My original hair colour would have been brunette so it's much lighter than it should be and as I have a pale complexion it suits me better (even if I do say so myself)

I had every colour going when I was younger., but For about 30 years I used to dye my some shade of blonde.It must be 3 years since I dyed my hair, and I have quite a bit of grey hair now. I don't mind the grey now its all grey,but didn't like it when it was patchy.
Don't know if any of you have noticed, but there are quite a few young girls/ladies having their hair done in some shade of grey.
I buy a shampoo called A Touch of Silver, to make grey hair shine,but it doesn't make mine shine. I will have to see if there any more shampoo's for grey hair.

Just wanted to add, I love the colour of Granny Jules hair.

I started to go grey while I was a teenager! I dyed it all sorts of dark colours until I was about 30-ish (my original colour was dark brown). By then it was mostly grey so I just left it. I've never coloured it since and it's more or less white. I'm quite happy with it, but when I was younger people used to ask me if I dyed it grey!!

[Oma]

I dye my hair only semi permanent as im hoping one day i will wake up and its all silver grey , the grey i have is lovely but its only my fringe and sides around my ears that are silver grey ,Daisys is a lovely silver , my mother was 72 when she died and still had natural chestnut colour with a sprinkle of the odd silver hairs at the side no where else

[Enfys]

I always coloured my hair, usually a reddish brown (I'm naturally mid brown) but gave up when it started to go a funny pinky colour over my grey bits. When I had it really short I sometimes used a brown mousse but since I've grown my hair to a jaw length bob I've had a few highlights just to blend the salt and pepper . If I was completely white I would leave it but at the moment it's still not completely grey so I'll stick with the highlights for.a while. I've been told it looks nice but it's still a shock to look in the mirror and see myself with such light streaks .

Mine has been blonde "out of a bottle" for many years my natural colour is a sort of dirty blonde which I started highlighting in my 20s,it takes two boxes of Nice & Easy to get the job done and I do it every 3 months,I just could not afford to have it done professionally with the length of it I intend to keep on doing it as long as I can and at the moment don't have any thoughts about having it cut shorter.

I was a redhead and I have never dyed my hair. I still have a lot of auburn in my hair so I am not obviously grey sort of pepper and salt. I have a friend who is the same colour as Daisy's.

[Gemini]

If I had lovely silver hair like Daisy, I would be happy to allow to to go natural. I am dark, with grey mixed. As I like my hair longish, it's not a good look!!
I had a problem with permanent hair dye when I recently switched from semi permanent . I now use Naturtint permanent by Holland and Barratt. I have no problems with it and like the colour.

Oh its lovely isn't it her hair, as is the style she has it in a very attractive woman think she needs to be told now and again

[Qwerty]

Its not often natural blondes will go a lovely silver colour I am very salt and pepper, I will try and remain blonde for as long as I am able be it out of a bottle or whatever means

[Clover]

I'm grey and have never coloured my hair. I thought once I started I wouldn't be able to stop so I just went with the flow!

[Avo]

I was natural blonde till I had my babies and then it went a sort of mousey colour which I now help back to blonde , well the salon does at a cost of £65 every 6 weeks or so. I don't know if I have any grey hair as I don't see my natural colour!
