Anyone else letting their dark hair go gray?

One of my teachers has gray and black hair. The top part of it turned gray while the bottom half is still black. I think that it is absolutely beautiful!

We have been living parallel lives, it seems. I, too, started going gray in my 20's (and I am now 49)..I colored my hair almost continuously since then until a few months ago.

I went from blonde to red...back to blonde...

My natural color is a chestnut brown...

I am now letting it go natural...and I love it...I am about the same % of gray you are..

When I decided to "transition" I had shoulder-length blonde hair..to transition, I had it cut VERY short and an auburn glaze-color out on...no roots to see (no "skunk" line!)...gray has gradually grown in...looks really good...(didn't think it really would..but hubby kept after me to see my "natural" color!)...

I have been surprised at how pretty it actually is...

If I was going gray so young, I probably would dye it. However, at a more advanced age, I'd want to be natural. I'd also cut it; short, gray hair can be very stylish. Long gray hair tends to make you look older.

I also color my hair only i use the 6 week one where it

slowly fades out, so i think if you use the color for 6 to 8 weeks and as it fades your hair is growing and keep cutting it off and re coloring it until you are all grey.. It shouldn't take that long.. Good luck

That's a good question. I'd consult with a good colorist at a salon. I'm thinking they would suggest switching to semi-permanent color for the transition.

if you care what other people think of you then keep dieing it. if you think it looks better gray then stop dieing it. do whatever you like better!

you could maybe paint it black. or maybe you are thinking to much that white hair is tuning into much
