My parents are in late 60's and still have Salt-Pepper hair with more pepper than salt, huh! So I expect to have these greys for quite some time. We are all dark brunettes, my dad's hair almost black.
I convinced my mom to stop coloring, the jet black was getting ridiculous and did not go well with her complexion/facial features of aging.
In general I do not color but this summer I wanted to spruce up for the boyfriend's visit and wanted red. I chose a semi-perm. that went really well with my already dark hair. It basically made the greys into highlights, I liked it.
Now its growing out and I'm ignoring it. I wont be retouching it as my hair grows very fast and thick. I can deal with it until its gone.
Most of my greys are underneath, anyone else have that? If I put my hair up I age 10 years, I swear!! (ok, maybe not 10, ha!) So I don't put it up very often. Its silly, I claim not to care but then sometimes I will look in the mirror and think "oh no, what the heck?"
