I've never colored my hair, even though I started getting gray at just 18 years old.  I"m now 33.  It's just something that I don't really think about doing.  When my friends ask me about it, I just tell them that I've earned each and every one of my gray hairs. ;D

I am 22 and have changed my hair color a few times. My hair is naturally a mousy brown, so in high school I got blonde highlights. I got tired of that and now color it an auburn shade. Depedning on the light, it looks dark red, dark brown, or has an almost maroon tint. It is so much prettier than my natural color, I love it! I am too scared to do any coloring myself, so I let my hairdresser do it even though it costs more.

I used to color my hair because I HATED the blonde that would show up during the summer and so I would dye it dark again. I have since stopped dyeing it because even the permanent was completely washing out and was a total waste of money.

Yeah I color my hair all the time.  I am naturally a medium blonde, and I like it,  but I love going red, light blonde, or what ever color catches my eye when I go to buy some. It is just a fun way to express my self

Used to color my hair which is very long but then it got impossible to keep up with, so I just let it go and now I am delighted with my new "natural" color and the freedom from the chore of coloring it.  Now I would say were I not blessed with a color that I couldn't stand, it might be different.

I decided to try the "blondes have the most fun" theory in my twenties. It really worked! Only lasted about 3 years as I got tired of colouring my hair every 6 weeks or so.

orange so I have always been afaid of color since then.

Wash in color isn't the same as fully dying it. Non-permanent is a safe way to try out what color looks good on you, but is more money out of your pocket! I suggest L'Oreal (Feria style is best, any color!). The regular boxes are for gray coverage especially, and the Feria type makes hair extra shiney and lusterous. I've been dying my hair for nearly 8 years!

I though of it at one point, but never really went through with it, my hair has a rich tone of Black for now.
So I guess I'll cherish it while I can.

I didn't start coloring my hair untill I was in my mid thirties. I did it for fun then. Now that I'm in my mid forties it's to over the gray. Early graying runs in my family.

Yes I color my hair to cover those pesty grey hairs that show up on the forehead of my hair but I try to use the color closest to mu natural haor color.  I like to use the ION dye from Sallys hair supply, theirs is great and it last the longest.

I colored my hair jet black one day years ago and it looked terrible.  So much so I just decided to wash off the color and just have my natural colored hair of some gray.  Never again will I color my hair unless I have to.   :D

I have colored my hair several times through the years. In my twenties and thirties, it was for fun and a better look. Now that I am in my forties, I have to color it to hide the grey.

Yes...I have colored my hair several times. I have brown hair so i can not use any hair dye that says ash on the box or it will give me a red tent to my hair. I use the cheaper stuff it last a good while but it seems like it washes out over time. I havent done it lately im seeing gray strands everywhere. I kinda wish it would just go white. lol. :)

When I was younger I would bleach my hair from time to time.  As far as when I start to go grey, I wouldn't even consider coloring my hair.

Yep, rainbow, though it doesn't look like it so much in this picture. Should have done like my twin and had the colors going down rather than around. :P
Sadly, fun colors don't stay in very long (except pink, it seems).

First time I'd gotten my hair cut in a ... very long time. So I figured why not get it colored as well? My nieces and sisters and even mom were toying with the idea of crazy colors, so since everyone was buying different ones, I just decided to mooch and use a little of them all ;D

I’ve only dyed my hair to a strawberry-blonde w/some highlights once. It certainly changed my image a 180 degree turn w/a sophisticated, modern-chic look. I have received many praises for my new look. After that, I would never do it again due to the chemical ingredients on hair dyes.

Post by: debidoo on December 07, 2011, 12:10:05 am
Yes used to color my hair which was auburn colored but then the sides became so resistant that it seemed that right away they and the roots were gray again and so I was trying to color it too often.  My hair was always long and so I didn't know what to do just became tired of it so I cut all my hair off (which was down to my waist) and quit coloring it expecting it to be an ugly gray but much to my surprise and appreciation it is a silvery white and blond mixture and since I don't color it have let it grow back down to my waist.  I get compliments on it all the time so I guess its ok.  It is with me anyway -0)

I've always liked my natural brown hair.  Whenever I vaguely considered dying it, I was too afraid whatever color I'd choose just wouldn't look as nice as my natural color.  During the summer, when I do a lot of hiking outdoors, I get nice sun-bleached highlights.  Didn't think any dye job would compare.  I started getting some stray grey hairs in my 20's, and now at 41 I'm seeing a few more, but I kind of like it - (1) my hair is naturally straight - no body - talking permanents go straight days after "straight" hair...the consistency of the greys coming in are actually giving my hair natural body and I love it, and (2) the way the greys are scattered, it almost gives my hair a sparkly quality - like glitter - which I think is kind of a neat effect at the moment.

Not sure if I'll ever decide to dye - maybe check back with me in another 10 years.   ;D

Unfortunately, if I were to color my head, it'd end up looking like this:

When I was sporting a goatee, I tried to color that, since the hair above my upper lip was very fair but darkened to a brown as it moved down to my chin.

Tigerlilly, if you are just now seeing a little grey at 53, you are very lucky!


My brothers have a LOT of grey.....they had grey showing in their 30's

I am not ready to be grey, so I do color my hair.

I'm 56 years old and have colored my hair a number of times to cover the gray. When used properly it doesn't damage your hair. When I first started I used Henna which brought out the red high lights that were already in my hair and just made it more noticeable.

The box colors you buy at the store will not look natural, can turn your hair orange.  Try professional products/salons,
I like to have highlights/lowlites.  Good luck!

Yes! A zillion of times!! Haha!
I have been coloring my hair for the past 15 years. I started coloring my hair at 15 when I was in high school. I used to dye it red because I was a huge Titanic fan and I wanted to look like Rose....lol. Sometimes, though, my hair would be so red that it was embarrassing to go to school.  :-[
Then after the Titanic craze, I colored my hair black......that didn't go so well. I then started coloring my hair blonde and blonder and plantimun blonde and stayed with that color for about 5 years. Then my hair was so bad that I shaved my whole head and started over with my natural color which is this plain old brown color that I hate!  :angry7:
So, I wasn't very happy with that for too long. Once my hair started to grow back, I went to a high end salon and my stylist colored my hair with definition colors to match my natural hair color. That was the best "hair time" I had....lol.
Later, my stylist moved and I lost contact with her, so now I have been coloring my hair for the past 5 years myself. Not too bad, I must say, with all of my experience. I am now a blonde.  ;)

I never did and I don't think I am gonna do it either, I have a unique hair color its between dark brown and black its shinny and looks different, When I was in collage most of my friends wanted to have the same color like mine and they did try to mix some of the color grades to get the same color I have but it was kinda hard, the only thing I did some highlights in the front of my hair, the hair  dresser suggested it in my wedding just to make something different and he said it will wear off in 2-3 months but it never did after 2-3 years It was still shown in the end of my hair and I cut it. I hate it because it kinda weak your hair and you'll never get your hair color back again unless you just cut the part you colored.

I had hi lites done for the first time and love it.  but not the stylist.  she said she had to use lighter color cuz my hair was an ugly color,  her exact words.   i thought that was rude but i just let it go.  she needs her job anyway.
