The best way is to use something natural, especially if you're going to use it that often.

When I get older and turn grey (if I turn grey) I'll just leave it natural. I think it looks beautiful.

I'm totally silver.  I don't know if it makes me look wise or just old.  I am what I am though.

I colored my hair for years but it lost so much of it's life that I finally quit doing it.  I surely don't like my gray hair though.

I vote for natural.  Keeping hair as dark as yours colored gets really difficult and expensive and isn't good for your health using all of those chemicals.  I think we need to embrace the beauty of the silver in our hair.  Some of the most beautiful women I have seen have white hair.

The sad thing about looking old is that people tend to put you in a box.  When you feel young inside, it is very hurtful to be left out by those who embrace the youth culture and seem to believe chronological age determines your worth.

I am 70 and never died my hair. I started getting silver in my hair in my early 30's and every one liked the way it wuld shine in the sun, so jutlef it, But now i am really getting silver. But i am not going to try to impress anyone. I like it and that is what counts.  :notworthy:

I have had a few gray hairs since I was 19. I'm now in my 50's and will never dye my hair.
I would rather live with the gray as it comes then spend money and time trying to cover it up! Both my grandmothers had white/gray hair and they were beautiful!  :wave: :peace:

I too have seen gray hairs for many years....I choose to color them, at least for now.

My mom is snow white on top and I have no desire to be like that.....yet!!  I think I'll wait til I am 70 to go "natural" :)

Well I`m 55, just lost my wife this January to COPD and dyeing is not a problem, I`m losing my hair fast now. Never considered what it would be to get back in the single scene again, almost as devastating as losing my soul mate. Just have to make the adjustments I guess
