[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you just look your age? Once someone asked me if I was a grandmother, and I told them that that was a way's off, my child was 12 or however old he was at the time.

Guess what. That year, I lost 30 pounds and started coloring my hair! Now people think I'm 10 years younger.[/quote]

It's hair color - not weight.  I weigh less than I did in college - now with two small kids at age 45.  But I stopped coloring my hair.

It's all about the hair . . . [/quote]

Why dud you decide to go grey? I'm seriously contemplating it! Do you really feel like it ages you a lot?[/quote]

a few reasons
First I'll say that I have a friend in the corporate world who thinks I'm brave for doing so, as it would ruin her chances at climbing!  pathetic!

But . . .
 :thumbup:   My hairdresser said I have the type of gray that people die for (good genes passed on by my Italian grandmother).  She said coloring it would ruin it.  And that's extra cash NOT in her pocket, as her services are not cheap.

:?     My hair grows so fast that when I colored it (as a young, single gal), I was going every 4-5 weeks.  So time and money are factors.  I could find the time, but the money spent once a month is money I'd rather put toward clothes!

:wink:    I've reached a point in my life where I don't care b/c my priorities have changed.

I do keep my hair styled, and I try to dress as professionally as possible when I'm working, which helps to draw attention away from my hair.  And although it may age me a bit, I'm not here to impress anyone.  I think it's all in how you carry yourself and how you feel from the inside out.[/quote]
