Have you or someone you know made such a decision? How & when was the decision made? How has it continued to work out?

I don't dye my hair. It's very light gray and white I suppose. In fact my neighbor who is 85 was coloring her hair a vivid red; it looked awful because after a couple of weeks you could see the white roots. I saw her yesterday and he had decided never to dye it again. Her hair was coming through a lovely soft white. She looked fantastic.

I started in my late 40's with the home products for grey at the temples. Did that till I turned it purple one time and needed a professional correction, at about 50 I'd say. Did the brown with blonde highlights. Now at 60, I just let it go. I am grey in the front and temples and brown for the rest. It's a lot less hassle.

I dyed my hair for years starting in my early 30s, then just stopped cold turkey seven years ago. My hair was always a kind of light brown. I have no idea why I started dying it. The stuff smells nasty, you know. Nowadays, my hair is more blonde than anything else. That's probably because there are a few silver threads among the gold, as they say, but I don't see it when I look in the mirror. I see blonde and I like it. When I think of all the money I wasted on those color kits, I could cry.

My wife's hair turned grey when she was 17! She is 62 now and has been dying her hair all her life. Mine turned grey when I was 49. I have been dying my hair also. And I am 62. WHO wants to walk around with white hair and look REALLY OLD!!???

I turned sixty-three over the weekend so you can still count the grey threads. But a couple of weeks ago when I met my publisher for the first time face to face they remarked that my hair was too short!
The whole author's photo on the dust jacket is such an Issue, especially when it's a woman.
Apparently I have the wrong specs, my smiles too cheeky and my hair too short for a woman my age.
We still haven't come to a final agreement on which photo to use ... I suggested a cameo. So I think if I go grey it will be more of a worry to others than to me. Where I'm concerned my aches and arthritic pains take precedent over the colour of my hair.
