Going gray? I've been gray for many years, it started when I was 19 and since my hair grows fast I didn't want to fight the continual "your roots are growing out" evil looks from others- yeah you know who you are. Also I didn't think I needed to pour mercury on my head every 3-4 weeks to keep it colored. With my genetics and daily exposure to toxins from the environment it's NOT that important.

I really don't see what the big deal is about going gray. I'll never dye my hair. Over the years I've looked at females that do, and they have more gray than I do. Just as you strip your hair when perming, you also strip your hair when dying it. My mom used to dye her hair and I'd ask her why? I thouht that her gray hair was beautiful. I look at some people that dye their hair and no matter how old you get, your face will still tell your age. Some people are even born with gray hair. It's not always a sign of aging, it's beautiful. It's also not the outside that counts, it's the inside. Your hair doesn't define who you are. Your personality, heart, brains, compassion, self respect for yourself and others, positivity, etc., are the things that really counts. Men and women need to stop playing into these commercials and the fashion world about how we should look. You should be the one deciding, not the industries. Have your own minds, you can't go backward to try looking young. Be proud of who you are and just keep living and being happy. I started graying in 2008 and I'm in my 50's. I have my original hair colors: black, brown, red and gray. I assume that it's part of my genetic make up. Black, Indian and White.

I am very happy to see a segment of "Going Grey". I let my hair 'go grey' five years ago. Im now 55. When a child said to me, "You have 5 different colors in your hair"., I knew. I talk people into going grey. The woman who draws my blood at the hospital with beautiful blue eyes (and dyed brown hair), I said go grey, (after she adored my hair. And she did! Now she is beautiful, lustrous, gorgeous, and free!. Its not grey. and this word should be taken out of hair color. It is silver. We are not a crayon pencil color. My clothes complement my salt and pepper, my lipstick is pinker! Yes, Ill be that silly old lady with pink lipstick! and maybe magenta with it! Im free, lovely, ravishing, not cute!

I colored my hair for years -- got tired of the $, time,chemicals, etc. Instead,invested in great Bikram Yoga classes,books and workshops for mental and emotional stimulation and just plain fun Now, mid-fifties, best shape I've ever been, powerful, authentic, HAPPY. Coloring hair is an easy fix that fools no one.

I'm 39 and I've had gray hairs for years. Now I have many more, but they don't bother me. I feel like I've earned every one, like a badge of courage, so I've never colored them. I don't mind people knowing my age nor do I mind the sparkles of silver and white that shine through my brunette.

I choose to color my hair; I don't like its natural shade of gray, and I enjoy the feeling of looking younger whenever I do it (every 8 weeks or so, so enough gray has grown in that I do look different after coloring). My husband does it for me over the kitchen sink. I buy Clairol nice 'n easy when it is on sale and I have a coupon, and never spend more than $4 on the coloring product. It does not make sense to me (at least, not given our finances) to pay a professional to do it.

Live and let live. When it comes to hair, people should do whatever makes them happy.

I'd love to be able to allow my hair to be its natural color, which just so happens to be a beautiful snow white.  Unfortunately, I work in a professional environment that considers gray (or white) hair to be something that belongs on somebody's mother or grandmother, not their boss.  I still have some years to go before retirement so I will continue to color it but I will celebrate when I no longer have to deal with maintaining an image -- be it with makeup, colored hair or trendy fashion.

Ever since I was a teenager I've had gray hair. Now I'm 58 with silver-gray hair and not once have I colored it. What's wrong with being natural? The people who complain about gray hair not looking good are people who do not take care of themselves and want "quick fixes". I've always had a good diet, work out to stay in shape, get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, etc. and the results show on me. I have minimal wrinkles and actually have a better figure than when I was in high school! However, it takes commitment to do this --- something most people won't do!

Correction on the last statement. My genetic make up is Black, American Indian and White. I also believe in doing what you want, but there's always a catch to destroying your hair along the way. I'm not against people that dyes their hair, I'm against of those that always have a comment about our gray hair. It's beautiful no matter your age. I believe in living to the fullness, and just be happy. Don't let other people define who you are.

Hair dye is actually very toxic, and according to the FDA's own web site it should not come in contact with skin. Can cause a host of problems from rashes to burns to difficulty breathing. Many of the dyes used in america are banned in Europe, There is research that shows it to be cancer causing. With that said, after using hair dye for 15 years i developed swollen lymph nodes and a terrible rash all over my head. It was caused by hair dye. This lead me on the journey to letting go of the "die". I am dye free one year and my hair is soft, shiney, long, and I am confident. At an early age we are taught by society that at the first sign of gray you better grab the bottle. The only ones that truly make out are the cosmetic industry... at the risk of our health. Something is wrong with woman sitting in hair salons sporting pink ribbons with toxic dyes slathered on their scalps. Something to ponder.

Hair dye companies and stylist seem a bit like oil companies. They don't care what the dye does to their clients bodies or minds, they just care about making the $$$$. Perhaps they should try instilling confidence in people about their natural looks, rather than using mind games to beat them down just so they will give you their money to make them feel better from the beating!

I stopped using hair dye over two years ago when I realized I wasn't fooling anyone, especially myself. Little did I know my natural charcoal colored hair, with natural white highlights surrounding my face, were just what Mother Nature intended for me.

They say with age comes wisdom, and that has been true for me. I just wish it hadn't of taken me so long to wise up.

I also just have to say, that since I have given up 'the bottle', I have received more compliments on my hair color. I NEVER EVER received one when I was coloring my hair. And now that I am natural, I can spot a dyed head in an instant. Trust me - it doesn't always look good/right.

Our society needs to change the image that gray = old. It'll take time, but the revolution has started.

Peace be with you............

I don't color my hair out of principle. I'm 61 and coloring my hair wouldn't make me any younger -- or look any younger. I feel sad when I see women my age with obviously dyed hair -- it makes them look so desperate and unhappy.

$65K on hair coloring. That's unfortunate. I spend about $10/year and do it myself. I buy a box of Revlon when it's on sale for $1.50.

Men and women alike are aged by gray hair. If you don't mind looking older then go for it. Personally I look forward to letting it go gray when I'm 80. Something to look forward to in my golden years.

I'm sure your hair looks great with your $1.50 bottle of dye. Do you really think you are fooling anyone about your age by dying your hair? Seriously...lol Do you really think anyone is fooled into thinking that Kathy Lee's hair isn't just as white as her mothers under that gold straw she has on her head?

It's 2010, not 1950, look at the other adds in the 50's...do you want to go back to that too? A woman's place is in the kitchen and so on...lol I am an Information Technology leader for a large company, society thought I should not study technology, computers or engineering either, because it's not feminine or because that's a man's job. Thank the Lord I didn't pay attention to that stupid @!$%# spewed by our society either!

Trust me, there are plenty of gray haired hotties running around in this world and they do not look 80. They look like strong confident women who believe in who they are. If something happened to me today, I would like for my children and those I love to have seen me...the real me..... Not to have known a fake version of me.....

I am really looking forward to letting my hair go gray. I think that women with gray hair are beautiful and what makes them even more beautiful is that they radiate from within when they feel good about how they look. We are here to live and age. I think older people are beautiful! I've started a site called Lines of Beauty about aging gracefully. It about embracing growing older instead of dreading it, one wrinkle at time. Join the conversation at www.linesofbeauty.com

I agree with Julie. You'd think that society would have evolved more than we have. Aging is inevitable. I am letting my true colors grow in. My hair is no longer the raven of my younger years, but a salt and pepper with natural highlights. It shines and sparkles, and I could never pay enough money to capture it in a bottle. But people want to cover up what we were given naturally. Why? We have been conditioned to think that gray equals giving up, when in fact I think it's the opposite. My hair color is just that--a color. I can own my own hair color, I don't need to buy it. I'm not "letting" it go gray, I'm choosing to embrace the silver that I have been given. Probably only when more people in the public eye are strong enough to be leaders and embrace their natural selfs, will public opinion and perceptions ever change. I hope there are some strong leaders out there.

Like many others who've posted here, I colored my hair for decades, from the minute the first one appeared. But I always promised myself I'd go natural when I turned 60. So for 20 years, I "battled" my hair, beating those gray strands into submission, until I finally couldn't do it anymore. It was too much work! I missed my 60th birthday deadline for gray, but the following year, I took the leap and have never looked back.

I must say, my gray hair is fabulous! Women stop me and ask if I dye it to look the way it does, for the natural variations in shade, the white streaks against the still dark lowlights are beautiful, if I do say so myself.

it takes a secure, confident woman to go gray in today's world. I'm proud to be among them. Come on in ladies, the water's delicious!
