Guest Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I've just found my first grey hair....... What do you think? Dye it, or grow old gracefully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I would definately say grow old gracefully, although i do actually have a shaved head! I'm not starting again though, even my very short hair is grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I've not got any grey hairs. Mine are all white and look like question marks on top of my head. There are LOADS. I've got shoulder length hair and they are starting to take over but I've decided to grow old grecefully and not do anything about them as I've heard so many horror stories about adverse reactions to hair colourants and then you've also got to keep redying it as your roots appear. Sounds like torture to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 You haven't got an option called 'grow old disgracefully' - which is what i intend to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 ...mind you, I haven't got any grey hairs yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I think it depends on your natural colour. My hair is really dark and I colour it because I am not ready to be discarded from society as some old fogey with grey hair. The white hairs really show up. With lighter hair I think the grey hair blends in more easily and is less noticeable. But one hair! Don't worry about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 You haven't got an option called 'grow old disgracefully' - which is what i intend to do You took the words right out of my mouth,Lesley My hair is streaked gold & red so I think any greys I may have are well disguised. I did buy a fantastic 15x magnifying mirror a while back though & found a grey eybrow hair.I got the tweezers on that pronto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have quite a few too and I can't be bothered either with dyeing it or with worrying what anybody else thinks of it if they don't like it they can shut their eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 DYE IT I am 31 with grey hairs I am not ready to grey yet, so I dye mine. I got my first grey hair after I had my eldest 8 years ago I am home alone so have had to take pic myself OH loves the new colour Could a mod please re-size me I look scary that size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I think I would dye if it showed up. I know someone in their 20s who is completely grey, and someone in their 30s with dark brown hair who has it dyed at a hairdresser with a semi-permament dye. KIt looks like her natural colour. Apparently it coats the different hairs differently so you get a variation and tone and it looks more natural. Beware grey roots though I'm just hoping I take after my Mum who is in her 60s and has naturally brown hair and no noticable grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Go down fighting!........I haven't seen my own hair colour for over 10 years. It used to be dark auburn....I suspect that it might not be now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Could a mod please re-size me I look scary that size No you don't - you look gorgeous Great hair too - wish I was brave enough to have a really bold colour like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Paola, your hair looks fab I used to dye my hair a lot as well and got to the stage where i forgot what my natural colour was. Now i have a grade one all over so i can't dye it without dying my scalp too. I have dark hair and am not bothered about my grey hair at all, or my wrinkles or anything else that shows my age. I am what i am and if you don't like it, tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Paola - love your hair! I'm just not brave enough to do something like that! I've pulled the offending hair out..... I think it must be down to the stresses of moving that's turning me grey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura007 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 you got in there first!! i was going to suggest pulling it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Fab hair Paola One grey hair Pah!!! pull it out My sister went grey at 17 but she has some fabulously funky and 'ordinary' colours in her hair, I think my hair is my natural colour, at least that's what it said on the box karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Dye it!! I've found six grey hairs in the past three years (no, of course I'm not counting ) when it gets to the stage that I cant keep pulling them out then I'm definately going for the fake it option! In April I'm going to have it "faked" straight as well - costing a fortune!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Go down fighting!........I haven't seen my own hair colour for over 10 years. It used to be dark auburn....I suspect that it might not be now. I'm with Egluntine on this one. My hair (as Lesley and Carl know) is about as grey as Carl's I certainly don't feel, or act, my age. So I don't intend being grey. Currently a sort of claret colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I've just found my first grey hair....... What do you think? Dye it, or grow old gracefully? Chooks!

Guest Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'm putting it down to the stresses of solicitors, hedges, chickens, boxes, mortgages and all the other things that are here to harrass me during the move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're 10 years younger than me - what are you doing with grey hairs???? Shona is the same age as my daughter - and she has quite a few grey hairs now and colours hers . Carl's hair is white Clare - he had very dark hair when we first met - I've turned him white He started going white in his 20's the same as his mother did.
