[quote=Anonymous]I live elsewhere and couldn’t find a stylist who was able to stop making negative comments about my gray nor a colorist with experience blending/adding gray. My hair grows very slowly but 3 years later I have grown all of my dye out! I did eventually find a great stylist who is supportive of my gray hair. I’m younger than you- I started growing mine out at 39- but I was covering my roots at 21.

The hardest part is when your roots hit just above your ears, and when you see photos. You will always look more gray/white in photos because of how the light bounces. Don’t panic. If you can start the first 3 months of growth during winter or summer hat season, do that.

You’ll also need to be ready for erratic texture and makeup/clothing color changes. I have naturally pinkish skin and partially gray/brunette hair. I can’t wear certain pale colors anymore and black can be challenging. My gray sweaters have been retired for now. I can’t wear eyeliner or shadow exactly like I used to because it looks harsh. Find a good brow person and get your lashes and brows tinted- you’ll need the extra definition.

You’ll start to notice a lot of people growing their hair out as soon as you decide to do it. They’ve always been there, but be warned that once you join us you may fight occasional bouts of perceived invisibility. Be brave and don’t give up and run for the bottle![/quote]
