[quote=Anonymous]I'm in your shoes -- early 40s, but I'm about 80% gray (yay shitty genetics!).  I get my hair colored every 5 weeks.

My mom, at the time was in her late 50s, and decided to stop color (she was coloring every 3 weeks and had been 100% gray for at least 10 years).  Her hair dresser removed the color from her hair so that she didn't look like a hot mess.  I think this worked ok for my mom because she's always had short hair.  I'm not sure if color removal would work for long hair.  Anyway, she kept it gray/white for about a year.  She's fair skinned with a bit of a ruddy complexion and the gray hair aged her significantly.  And, on top of it, it wasn't pretty gray.  My dad has lovely snow-white hair that's still pretty thick (where he has it). He also is very fair, but with a cool undertone.  Gray hair works better for him.

So mom is back to coloring her hair every three weeks.  And will until she dies and I'll probably have to get someone to make sure she doesn't have roots when she's in her coffin.

So think through how you'll look overall - consider your skin tone and see if your hair stylist can give you some insight to how it will look with your skin.[/quote]
