[quote=Anonymous]I think it all depends on your natural color and the amount of actual gray you have.

I am an Asian Female, who at 45 is about 85-90% gray already (!).
Since I have a very youthful face and my natural hair color is dark black to begin with, going totally natural at this stage would be a disaster. I would be telling the world my age, or even older and it would most definitely affect how people reacted to me.

Even now when I get busy and let my roots show, everyone makes a remark to me that my gray hair is showing and that I need to "take care of it" soon. It's like it bothers them more than me if you can believe that.

It's like having a second job, I have to remember to color my hair ideally every 2-3 weeks. Yes, the final result is much cheaper than cosmetic surgery. I get to shave off 10 yrs. which I may not always be able to do w/a $6.00 box of drug store hair color so I will count my blessings now while I am able.

To me it is a hassle to color my own hair, price-wise it is not too much. I mean, I use coupons and the hair-color is not too expensive. Revlon makes a $2.99/box one and you can always find kits at the Dollar stores.

I think coloring your hair shows the world that you CARE. That you care how about your appearance enough to make that extra effort to present yourself at your best. Especially in a professional setting. Can you imagine if the older news anchors let themselves go gray? For men, yes they look like dignified silver foxes, but for us women, we must maintain our youth and look polished.

When I see women who let their hair go gray, it gives me the impression that they are letting themselves go physically.
Like they have just succumbed to aging gracefully. They don't care how they look anymore.

It's as if they have reached a certain point in their life where they just throw in the towel and give up.

I will get there one day, but hopefully not before the ripe old age of eighty.[/quote]
