Once I committed to going gray, I found my hair much easier to live with. Frequent trims helped remove the old color, and I've read that a lot of people like to go short once they have several inches of gray grown out. I figured, it just couldn't look worse than it did when I had dark, dyed hair and orange roots! Good luck!

I was wondering if you had any tips or advice on doing it? I'm only just starting and it looks terrible and I'm self-conscious, but SO DONE with the vicious coloring cycle.

I'm 30 and am about 40% gray right now and am attempting to grow it out. I was wondering if you have any tips or encouragement about the growing out process? It seems like it is going to take a long time as I only have about an inch of gray right now, and my hair is shoulder length… Also, what did you do about the orange-y coppery color of the faded gray from coloring? That is the WORST part of this whole thing! Any advice would be great!

I kinda had a panic attack about my hair--like I could defeat death by dying it. I held off, tho', and the fear subsided. I see the beauty in my grey strands and consider it natural highlighting. This last picture of you is so radiant, Amy, and your words, too.

You have such beautiful eyes and that gray hair will just make them pop even more. :)<br /><br />I started getting gray in my teens and had a big white spot on my bangs by my 20s. I do sometimes dye my spot bright red, but only that spot and it has to be temporary since I am allergic to the perm hair dyes. The rest of my head is more and more and more (and recently MORE) gray. Every once in awhile I think...oh, I guess I should try to find a way to color it (henna, or...). But then I stop myself.<br /><br />My mom has beautiful white hair and I hope mine is as crystal colored as hers when mine is finally 100%.denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063730445661683331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537804131900093649.post-10097619232621485632010-07-01T00:02:12.545-04:002010-07-01T00:02:12.545-04:00Great post, Amy!

As a result, her hair has come in the most beautiful shade of silver. She looks fantastic, and so do you. Cheers!

Only I became allergic to hair dye and had no choice but to embrace my hair the way it is. Those nasty chemicals! <br /><br />Very hard! But now, I'm loving it too.<br /><br />You know, I think it's very attractive to see a young beautiful face like yours framed by some sparkling hair.<br /><br />Hey, I even wore mine in pig tails today:) <br />Have fun with it!Anethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586391189475336018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537804131900093649.post-13418950758052943122010-06-30T17:13:12.144-04:002010-06-30T17:13:12.144-04:00De-lurking to say I LOVE this post.

And I am quite gray, but I really, unabashedly love my gray hair, and I loved how you put into words much of what I feel about my beautiful gray!Tall Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479411015152122256noreply@blogger.com
