To dye or not to dye

Do you dye your hair? Every day it seems I'm finding a new gray hair and I'm not liking it one bit. I've never dyed my hair except once I used a rinse a few years ago that washed out in a few washes. I'm not a make up wearing person and I stopped going to beauty salons many years ago. I don't know if I will start dying my hair but I just know I don't want these gray hairs I have.

I used to dye my hair, but it was usually funkier colors, like green, blue, pink, etc. Later on my favorite color to dye my hair was a sort of burgundy color. :p I haven't dyed my hair in a few years now actually, because none of the colors I choose are very professional looking, and I have to work. Still, now that I'm starting to get gray hairs, I'm being tempted to at least dye my hair some normal color just so they don't show.

Nah not really into the funky color thing. Too old for that. I did have a friend in high school that dyed her hair with kool-aid all different colors every week.

I do not apply any artificial colours to hair. I firmly believe that such chemical oriented colours will have bad effect on the hair in the long run and also on the health of the person. I therefore apply a good protein-oriented oils and take a bath once in a week and at this age of 57, I am maintaining black hair. I know it may remain for couple of years before it turns grey (I have some) but it is natural and I like it to remain the same way.

I'll see if I can find some natural supplements. I've heard of a few but never tried any.

Girl, I dye my hair every month now. I can't afford to go to the salon to have it highlighted, which is what I would love to do. But I did that for a few months and it was outrageous to upkeep, so I am back to buying some box color at the store. I am not going to grow old gracefully, I plan to fight it every step of the way : )

I dye my hair every now and again if I find a certain color that I like. I feel gray hair is a sign of wisdom, even though I don't have any, so you shouldn't feel bad. My mother has had gray hair since birth, and so does my sister up under me. I used to be jealous of them, until I realized last year that the gene did not pass me up, it just took weird residence. Lets just say the curtains no longer match the carpet lol.

Wow since birth! I saw a boy once couldn't have no older than 12 with gray hair. I had an ex that was graying in his early 20's probably started when he was a teen.
