From my Mum's side of the family, we are all gray by the mid - 20's. Thanks, Mum.

I was working initially, and went to a salon. Once I stopped working to care for Dad, couldn't really afford that. I like Clairol's Natural Instinct and use that. It comes with a tube of conditioner which leaves the hair so soft!

With both the salon and on my own I tried to stick to my natural color for many years, a dark brown with some auburn. Then earlier this year the receptionist at the vet suggested I try Egyptian Plum. What a great color for those of us with olive skin tones! I buy it at CVS for $6.99, and don't have to spend 2 hours plus at a salon.
