I have been dying my hair for some years now, and at nearly 51 i am now very gray,but i was finding irritation to my scalp, so was residing myself to staying that way, but since then i have been having my hair done professionally, the one treat i am going to allow myself in my more senior years now and ahead, i get loreal highlights especially for gray hair, and they are fabulous, sure it cost a bit, but honestly after dying my hair myself for years, i would never again, it is worth the hurt to the pocket, i get it done every three months, and sure by then, they are well needing it,but i am not worried if people see i am going gray,just prefer it when it is not that colour, so if you can afford it,i would highly recommend it,i have tried highlight kits and i think they look bad, anyhow that is just my opinion.

Hey, don't feel bad. I had lots of gray hair at 23, so I colored it blonde and when the gray grows in, it mixes w/the blonde and no one can tell. My sister was totally gray at 17. My parents both grayed late in life, mom in her 60's and dad in his 70's. So in this case, it's the parents that caused the kids gray hairs!

Heck - I don't even bother. What you see is what you get!!!

My hair is medium/light brown with lots of gray, but everyone thinks I frost it. Nope - not me - Mother Nature does it free of charge!

If it makes you feel any better I started going grey at 17 and have been coloring ever since. I'm almost 43 now.

I found my first gray at the age of 13. I was a bit upset. I've been coloring my hair for years, although I don't think I'd be all gray yet. I hope not anyway. I haven't let my hair grow out without coloring it for years. Scary thought!

I did go red a few times, a few not planned, lol. My hair tends to lift red/orange really easily (I was a redhead as a little kid). Not sure how yours is, but keeping red is tough, but getting rid of it when you don't like it, is a *****.
