[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can dye your hair your natural color to hid grays as well.  It isn’t necessary to go lighter. [/quote]

This gets harder and harder, more expensive and time consuming, the more grey you get. That’s why most people realize, as OP has, that it’s easier to go lighter. [/quote]

OP here.  Yes, I agree with PP's statement.  That said the other important factor is that as we age those of us with fair skin and dark hair start to look like the walking dead, crypt-keeper with that pasty skin and "old face, young hair" look.  Every time I see a woman or man (who has fair skin) with dark hair and they're 70+, it reminds me to be aware of my own hair color as I get older.  Right now I'm mid-50's and need to go to the salon for root touch up every 3 weeks - so the grey is creeping in fast!  Each salon visit is $90.

Going grey is not an option for me personally. Not everyone looks good grey, and I'm one of those.

thanks again! [/quote]

I so disagree.

Look at Sandra Bullock with blonde hair: barf. Courtney Cox blonde: barf.  Erin Burnett with blonde/lighter hair: barf. Selma Hayak blonde: barf.  Kristen Stewart blonde: barf.  Cindy Crawford blonde: barf.  Meghan Fox blonde: barf.  Jennifer Connelly blonde: barf.

So many natural dark haired women look awful with any shade of blonde, even as they age.

I look so much more youthful and refreshed when my hair is dark (I am blue-eyed, light-medium skin).  If the highlights are overdone and my hair starts veering to the blondish side I look older and washed out, and my skin looks sickly.  A shiny silky dark color is so much better on me. Obviously, not 'shoe polish black'--that is not a good look.[/quote]
Not OP and staunchly not coloring my hair, but [b]many of us brunettes started out life significantly lighter. My childhood color was dark blonde/light brown [/b]and I wish I could go back to that color, plus if nature gave it to us once, it probably wouldn’t look, in the dignified way that you put it, “barf.”[/quote]

OP here - actually now that you reminded me, I did have dark blond/light brown hair as a baby and toddler,  and it slowly got darker from there.
