I began coloring my hair about 15 years ago, when the gray became very noticeable. I have a family history of graying very early. I cannot remember my mother without gray hair. I was not ready to be gray and am still not ready. I did ask my husband if he wanted me to stop dying my hair- He said no. I color my hair very close to my original color. I do have to color it about every 3 weeks because of the gray roots. It is not dry or burnt. I use products that condition and replenish my hair. As for a professional doing it- If I walked into a shop and asked a professional to dye my hair- It is over 3 feet long and very thick- after they fainted - they would charge me an arm and a leg.

I suppose it affects women in different ways.
If my husband suggested that I needed to dye my hair I would tell him to find someone else.
I wasn't referring to your husband in that statement, understand, just thinking of that when I read your post.

So far, my wife has not had to cross this bridge.... and her hair being uncut for almost her entire life is below her knees.... I suspect any "professional" help will be excluded due to cost, if she ever decides to take that route.

So, in your mind you think you would want her to? I see.
In my mind? dear PO, clearly as a man, I do not have a mind. I leave thinking to women. I stick to saying things like "yes dear".
it works out better for me in the long run that way.
I'm just playing with you FERD. I just ran out of things to needle you with. I'm reading something in another tab and I can't get my mind into the action today.
It would have been a blast though. I would have stopped - almost - when I got you angry, but I see you don't want to do that - drat for the drama!

Oh Brother Ferd, what are you doing over here?
Seriously, I have a 41 year old niece who is not apostolic, but is very attractive, and has beautiful salt and pepper hair lots of salt. She has always seemed more like my daughter than my own daughter does, because we resemble, and I started graying in my 20's. I went through the dye for years. If I had realized how hideous it looked, I would never have done it. So she's married to her second husband, and he is one of the least attractive men I have ever seen, but he doesn't like the gray in her hair, so she dyes her hair the blue black. Her hair was never really black. She is so gray, in less than a week, you can see white roots everywhere. She's fighting a losing battle, but now she can't seem to get out of the dying mode. I may post a picture of her soon. Dye is fake, it is obveous to the one who is looking at you, and if you think no one knows your secret but you and your hair care professional, you are sadly mistaken. Because the pigments of your skin do change with age, and you do look like a corpse wearing a black wig. It is more feasable to go natural. Once you start coloring, no one has any idea how horrible the growing out process really is. And can you imagine letting three feet of black hair with white roots grow out? UGH!!!
Notice what a woman over 50 does when a camera comes out!!!!!
Also, note the right side of my hair (left on the screen) where my hair is turning white.......it just blends nicely with the darker blond to make it all look lighter - - God's natural highlights!
Also, note laugh lines around the eyes........not wrinkles......laugh lines!
Just glad I'm not a brunette!
