Just do it Lori!!! You can always color it back later if you don't like it! This situation might not sound similar to you, but my issue lately is giving up makeup....at first, it's a shock and I felt so ugly! But only for a tiny bit. Now I'm more confident going natural and it's so much CHEAPER. Maybe it would be the same with you :) You only live once! Try it out!<br /><br />P.S.

I think I have about 3-4 inches to go. And so far I think I'm liking the silvery hair I see. (I have had total strangers compliment me on my hair!!!) I decided that if I didn't like my natural color then I could always go back to the monthly hair appts to put highlights in.<br /><br />There's my 2 cents for ya!!Joanne Reddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665077010654428294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-960834378837653702012-04-10T20:24:28.410-05:002012-04-10T20:24:28.410-05:00Well, the bucket would be neat, but probably a lit...Well, the bucket would be neat, but probably a little hot in warmer weather. ;)<br /><br />The great thing is you can let your hair grow out a little, see if you like it all grey, then change it right away if you choose.<br /><br />BTW, now that I have been 40 for an entire week (!), I realize that I must finally color my hair ~ noticeable grey in my otherwise very dark uni-color brown.<br /><br />What brand do you recommend for a newbie like me?

Are you worried about the chemicals and their effect on your body? That is a very valid concern. You are you and thus you will look beautiful regardless. I actually usually lean towards natural beauty but I am blonde and if I have gray hairs I can't see them yet. I am hoping they will turn WHITE!

I too have a 6 year old and I don't like to think of myself as old but I have had alot of compliments! It may just be because the way it was before was just so awful but I can delude myself....<br />Anyway, Your skin color is so pretty I think you can pull if off! I've had people think I did it on purpose. So if you just let it go naturally it may just look like expensive hightlights!! <br />My dad (who is the reason I have my gray hairs, genetics, not his behavior!) says I should color it and so does my vain 11 yr old. <br />I can't bring myself to do it since it will mean keeping up with it and I'm so not gonna do that! I love this short hair! Most of the time I don't even brush when I get out of the shower! <br />I'll post a picture on facebook of mine (after I have it shaped up).

When I see someone like that, I'm impressed. <br /><br />On the other hand, with different fingers, the women who don't touch up their roots often enough make me think, lady, give it up, who are you trying to kid? Not that you would neglect your roots, but, I have always thought that's the worst of both worlds, dyed hair with gray roots showing!<br /><br />There is a toxic load to your body from being exposed to the fumes and chemicals during and after the actual dyeing and obviously that would be avoided if you allowed your gray to sparkle. Not to mention sparing yourself the expense and the time and hassle involved. <br /><br />My own dad has beautiful silver hair, not gray, not white, but silver. I hope I take after him and have that too. I stopped getting my hair dyed and foil wrapped last fall, got it cut real short, and am now almost all the way gray. I get compliments on my hair and have no regrets. <br /><br />You are a cutie and would be able to pull it off. <br /><br />Cheerio!<br />Sharon SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-67312066493986901852012-04-10T11:36:48.276-05:002012-04-10T11:36:48.276-05:00COLOR IT...you are a stylist and you know how a ne...COLOR IT...you are a stylist and you know how a new do and color can lift a person's spirits...what would you tell your client??? hmmm I thought so....Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567650259281592482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-18391737115188137892012-04-10T11:23:17.799-05:002012-04-10T11:23:17.799-05:00I have to agree with Karin.I have to agree with Karin.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08884678933591807646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-56545542091637257332012-04-10T10:39:10.217-05:002012-04-10T10:39:10.217-05:00COLOR, COLOR, COLOR--no gray. :)COLOR, COLOR, COLOR--no gray. :)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032945144862346604noreply@blogger.com
