I just think gray hair makes women look soooo old. I will dye my hair as long as I can.

why do you only cater to the white woman????????

I have gray hair and I am proud of it. I earned every one of them. I think old women who dye their hair look foolish. Who do they think they are kidding. They have wrinkles out the gazoo and their eyes are sunk in but they have that blond, red, or jet black hair. How stupid do you think the rest of the world is?

John Frieda...makes a great glosser, easy to use and really great shine.
Also, use a clarifying rinse of 1part apple cider vinegar,to 3 parts water...once a week..makes hair shiny, soft and detangles.

To Bunny, You need to be careful coloring your hair once you reach an age when wrinkles are significant. The soft, grey tones soften the look of older men and women There are shampoos designed to brighten and highlight grey hair,as well.

In my late 50's and have a "full head" of very long gray hair that I (and my guy) loves. I think the key is a good hair reigment: good products, fewer processes and take care of what you have.
Nothing looks more odd than an older person with thinning, dyed hair....Let it go!!!

I AM 79 YEARS OF AGE, I AM JUST NOW TURNING GREY,BUT LIKE A COMMENT ABOVE I EARNED EACH AND EVERY ONE
OF THEM. JUST THANK GOD FOR LETTING YOU GET OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A GREY HEAD.

I am one who would like to add some color, but my hair and scalp won't tolerate the chemicals. My hair starts to fall out almost immediately when I have color or permanent
solutions applied at salon or home. I really miss my rich Auburn color, but would rather be grey than bald. I have perhaps half the hair I had before menopause.
I use special salon products for thinning hair just to keep what I have and I still have "see through" areas. I do what is best for the health of my hair and scalp. I wish others were not so judgemental of women as they age. I don't know a single human who got to choose the package they arrived in and time, health and life take their toll. Celebrate who you are as individuals.

no matter what cut u get - u r STILL OLD and it makes no never mind

Ro, you are either an old fuddy duddy or an old fart...

I have a friend at work who did color her hair a medium brown and now she has stopped coloring and let her gray grow out and she looks at least 10 yrs. older/ We don't color our hair for the purpose of trying to fool anyone that we are still young, we just want to shave a few years off. I am 62 and I don't see me stopping anytime soon.

It's all good to dye your hair when it turns gray but watch when your skin takes on a paler tone and changes. I have seen women with black hair and it makes them look so much older than light or gray hair. Also your makeup has to change . You can no longer wear the same make up when your skin tone changes. I am 79 and have had gray hair since early 30's but had my hair dyed professionaly when needed. In 1982 I said the heck with it, and now I get lots of compliments on my hair. It is shinny and I like it. I like my hair shorter too.

I am 56 years old and have finally in the past year let my hair turn its natural color of Grey. I get compliments all the time on my hair style. Women ask me how did you get a platnum silver? I tell them not out of a Bottle, it came natural.My style is about like the lady in the picture in this ad, bangs, and cut short below my chin.

Experts say when you get older if you are going to color your hair to go a shade or two lighter than your natural hair color . Because as someone else pointed out as you age your skintone gets paler and more sallow looking . And a very dark color just makes your skintone look worse . A lighter color brightens the face .. I did this and I look much better.

I have been 'silver' (NOT GRAY!!) for over 10 years!! I am now 65. It has been like 'burning your bra' ~~ This is me and who I am ~~ I have natural curly hair and that has not been popular since I was a little girl!! I decided to go 'natural' all the way!! I keep my hair above shoulder length and use mousse or gel and a diffuser on my blow dryer. I have gotten many compliments about my hair color and style!! I'm proud of my 'silver' and now, more often than before, I'm getting a lot more 'double takes' from a lot of younger men!! What could be a better compliment!! I'VE BECOME A COUGAR!!!

I am 63 (64 next month) and was born with reddish blonde hair. Recently, due to the gray hair, I changed to a light brown with auburn highlights and have received many more compliments on that than I ever have since I was a teen. I have never had hair this dark in my whole life. I have colored my hair since I was in my mid-20's out of necessity (20-year-olds don't look very good with gray hair, in my humble opinion). I even let my hair go gray for a year and almost croaked when I saw the difference in my whole demeanor. I looked at least 85 years old just because of my drab gray hair.

By the way, my husband's hair was red, too, but has now turned totally white (which I find VERY attractive)!

I've come up with a neat compromise. I leave a white "blaze" over my forehead and tint the rest medium brown. It is much easier to keep and the "roots" don't show. I also feel all white hair may be gorgeous and very striking but it does add years to the face. Probably because the skin loses color as well. The blaze is striking and I get a lot of compliments on it.

Okay, so you want to keep your gray hair. How does a woman with gray hair get a job?

I still dye mine a very light red and I love it and I do not look fake
