[quote=Anonymous]OP ,so good to hear you are going gray! Me too! I didn't start coloring until my late forties, but my hair is black and grows super vast--about 3/4 inch a month. So once I sarted all over color, as opposed to just a few highlights/lowlights, I had to touch up myself or at the salon every 4 weeks. I had been asking my stylist what it took to grow it out and she said "you will need a whole year"--and lo and behold, we got it! I'm only 15% or so gray so on a video call you can't see it but in person, esp if my hair is back, it's very obvious. I have had one or two small work meetings recently in person and colleagues have been visibly shocked at the change. It sucks, because I work in a business where youth is prioritized and almost everyone I work with covers their gray-men and women. The two women I know who don't are both exceptionally pretty and both went gray early (in their 30s), and they carry it very well. It is hard to accept the growing invisibility of being an older woman, but, honestly, it pales to the fading away I've felt b/c of COVID! We'll see how I feel when we go back, I hope I don't chicken out![/quote]
