At what age did you coloured you hair for the first time?

January 31, 2008 5:54am CST
I have black hair and i like their colour. But from 2-3 years now there are a lot of grey hair in my head. so I haven't a choice and begin to colour my hair but not very often.I was 26 years old the first time I've colour my hair. When was your first time? Which was the reason you did it?

I was probably about 37 and I colored it because I had too many gray hairs. I started getting gray hairs around 3-5 years before that, but I put it off, knowing once I start I would not stop.. I also love my hair color, it is a medium brown and when the light hits it just right, especially during the summer months, I have red highlights. The color I have it now, is as close to my natural color as I could get..

I wish I haven't grey hair in my head 'couse I don't like to color them but I cann't help my self for this. To change the colour of my hair just for a change I would try the shampo color but with the problem I have with grey hair I will color my hair forever.Thanks for response.

I always had plain old mousy coloured hair, and I waited a long time before i started coloring my hair, I wasn't sure it was all that good for your haie so i didn't really want to start but i got to a stage when I wanted to put hi-lights in my hair and make it look better .. and once you start one just can't stop....

I first started to notice some greys around the age of 33, so i realized thatit was running in my family to have grey hair at a fairly young age, I Color my hair to the most natural color that is closest to mine and don't feel bad about that. It just makes me look better, and feel younger.

It is in genes of my family to have grey hair at a fairly young age too. It's something we cann't prevent but we can repair it by color our hair.Thanks a lot for your response

I colored my hair in high school because I wanted it darker. I have colored it when I am older to try to color the gray, and I have chosen different colors to try to brighten my hair a bit. I have quit coloring my hair because it is too much to keep up with, and I cut it short to get the color off. I had it cut really short two times. Now it is shoulder length and is gray streaked in dark brown or black. I like it fine.

I started colouring my hair at the age of 50 since I started getting white (grey) hair. But it did not suit me as I developed allergy and started getting hitching on the forehead and hair loss. Hence I stopped it.

Dear, I first coloured at the age of 24yrs, when my brother got married. This was the first time i had coloured redish brown, two times continuesly, as my hair is smooth silky. But colored to hair is not good for hair health, bcoz of colour hair will be dull in future and fall early age. Thnx, Rakesh....

My dormmate colored her hair reddish brown in 1999. There were lots of overleft solution so she persuaded me to use it instead of throwing it. My hair is black too but I like the hue after the color treatment.

I was probably not much older than you when I first colored my hair. It was to cover up a large streak of grey. I developed an allergy to hair color and stopped coloring it a couple of years ago. The thing is that all my grey hair is in the front and I have a youngish face, so everyone thinks that I streak my hair white. Go figure, I was trying to cover that up all the time and now it's in "fashion".

I haven't had to color my hair as of yet. I also have black hair too. I am starting to get a gray hair every now and then here and there, but nothing major yet. I pluck out the gray ones when I see them, LOL. I am 36 and I hope I don't have to color my hair any time soon. I like my black hair. I would color it if it starts to look bad with alot of gray hairs thoigh.

I was about 13 or fourteen and I used a temporary dye thing that came out in 3 washes. My hair is brown and this tint just made it look a bit auburn, a lot of my friends were doing it and they were bringing out lots of temporary colour ranges at the time if you didn't like it it came out after a few washes so we just experimented.

i also have black hair. i think i've tried to dye my hair, well not all i think just to put some highlights when i was in high school and again when i was in college. there was also a time when i need to have some strands colored red for a dance program at school. good thing my hair grows fast and the color soon disappears.

I started having my hair colored when I was working in an office already. Influenced by my co-workers. But I stopped a long time ago already. It damaged my hair. But my hair is okay now.
