I still have one hair colour box here but i am reluctant to open it. It's a dark blonde colour, which highlightens my blue-green eyes more or jsut blue eyes (sometimes i feel there is some green it). My natural hair colour is light chestnut and as a child, i was blonde but my hair turned darker.
Next year in February, i'm turning 40 and i kind of want to start aging naturally but i am afraid cause, these small changes can freak the person out.
Especially me, who is afraid of every possible change but, looking for a teacher job, i think my looks shouldn't be everything. I would still use my concelear, eye shadow and mascara now and then but is it due to long summer days but i kind of don't want to dye/colour my hear anymore.
Will i start looking older or just the same, it's hard to tell.
If i decide to not dye it anymore, it will be an interesting journey. I started wondering when and why did i start dying my hair. I think i've experienced enough colours with my hair but yes, still afraid will i look messy or i will still look pretty.
Yes, i've mentioned that i hope my looks isn't everything but we, humans, all have some small percent of vanity in ourselves.
What do you think? Do you still dye your hair?

I'm 48 and I haven't dyed my hair in tour years I think. No white hair yet. And currently don't have any plans to dye my hair. I used to dye it quite often with different colors and styles as I get bored easily with the same hairstyle.
That's why I wanted to give my hair a rest from too much styling and leave it naturally. I might dye it someday maybe, but just not now.
so it's really up to you wha you want.

You could actually not dye it and see if you like it as it grows out and if you don't then you can always dye it again.
I dyed my hair for years and swore I would never not dye it but then I reached a point where it was just a pain so I stopped. My hair, like yours, just got a bit darker than my natural blonde so it wasn't that much of a difference.
Good luck with your decision
