[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you saying coloring gray looks worse "trust me," why are you so deadset on that perspective? It's just wrong. One look at Hollywood celebrities can clear this misperception in a second. Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Anniston, Jennifer Garner, Demi Moore, Juliane Moore... I could go on and on. All these women are clearly old enough to have gray hair, but all very naturally color it. Stop saying coloring ages or looks bad. If you're not lazy, coloring looks a million times better and more youthful.[/quote]

And how much do they pay and how much time do they spend in the salon? The type of color that is accessible and realistic for a lot of us just looks bad. Sometimes looking your age is overall more attractive than trying to cover it up. A 50 year old woman may fit into trendy 20 something clothes but that doesn’t mean it’s a good look.

No shade on women who want to color their hair, but I can attest that [b]if you are a low maintenance type, it may not make you look or feel better … then you will be stuck growing it out for 2 years. [/b]

And another BIG issue is damage. My hair got totally fried by highlights and did not look cute. I’ve finally grown them out mostly and very happy to have healthy hair back. celebs can get their hair styled every day or wear a wig - the rest of us bumble along with the tell-tale straw hair of the middle aged.

I am a low maintenance type. Didn't like how my long curly hair looked with greys in it and just started dyeing it this year for the first time ever (in my early 50s). I like how it looks much better. I do a partial treatment (just the top is dyed - idk really how it works but is not that expensive and takes about a half hour) maybe every six weeks. It is close to my natural hair color. I like it slightly less than my old natural hair, but REALLY like that there are no greys. When it starts growing in I can see the roots, but it doesn't bother me very much. [/quote]
