Alice,

I have depression and am begining to feel a liitle better in myself ... I have started to colour my hair to give myself a bit more self esteem and a bit of a boost. I had spent over two years not caring how I looked (part of the depression).

ITS FUN

I am proud to have "Arctic Blonde" hair...aka grey :))
I'm told that it softens my face, and isn't as harsh as the blonde streaks and highlights I used to have.

My hairdresser refuses to dye my hair. He said that he would gladly take my money, but, I would have to get it dyed every three weeks because I'm solid white/silver around my face.

Beside that, as I pointed out to my kids, I earned every single one.

I don't remember my mother being anything but grey (white) she went grey early she woul;d have been 100 in November my hair is just as grey now underneath it is still very dark. my sister dyes her hair and i really wonder how grey her hair is. I do think about having it dyed but I worry about having it done really would not know what colour to go.

I actually think Grey Hair can look lovely on some people,I know a lady who has the most beautiful grey bob and her hair is in excellent condition.
I just think its down to choice:-))

I started late teens, as my hair had darkened, and I preferred the reddish blonde it used to be. Kept it up till about 10 years ago, when i decided, the silver is part of who I am and as Deb said I have earned every one of the grey hairs. I have also been told it softens my face, suits my skin tone. I'm happy being me. If someone else doesn't like it (like my ex who told me he had married a redhead and that's what he wanted me to be - the red had come out of a bottle). I suppose part of going grey was accepting myself, but another part was getting back at him for his derogatory comments. he should talk, he has a bald pate LOL.
I say colour your hair if you like to,it's your body, your rights. For me it's about accepting of change & being happy as you are.

I think that I have coloured my hair just about every colour known to have come out of a bottle or a packet. I have decided to go `au natural` now and even my hairdresser comments on my `silver hair` and how nice it looks.
I am all for people helping nature but have decided enough for me now and as long as the cut is a good one I am happy.

Love and Peace
