Just to clarify, I totally get why many women wish to not go gray. I'm just not the type to want to mess with coloring my own hair. I just think that because it's relatively rare for women to give in to the gray until they are decades older than when they actually starting going gray that we have developed this idea that being gray means being older when it fact it could just mean being 35 (or younger!).

I hate to break the news but if you are a Caucasian woman, you aren't prematurely grey unless you go grey before 20.
Per Web MD
Typically, white people start going gray in their mid-30s, Asians in their late 30s, and African-Americans in their mid-40s. Half of all people have a significant amount of gray hair by the time they turn 50.
A white person is considered to be prematurely gray if his or her hair turns gray by age 20; gray before 30 is early for African-Americans.

This is what I mean, I think people have this idea that we're going gray, but the other people aren't. So we must be going gray too early. When in fact the other woman are going gray, too, but they're not talking about.

I plan to die without any visible grey and with a bottle of hair color in my hand. I'm 52. Since being in a nursing home the past several months, my 95 year old grandmother gets her hair colored right in her hospital type BED!!!! She is fussy about how she looks and wants to be dressed in coordinating clothing (sparkles are bonus). When her feet swell and she can't wear shoes, she MUST have her socks match. They had to run out and buy her athletic shoes and loose pants for PT as she would never be caught dead to this point in anything less than her heels and dress slacks/skirts/dresses.

I always kept my hair heavily highlighted until I had my first child and then I let it grow out and found that I really liked my darker color. Then I started going grey and it is course, curly, corkscrew grey. I slowly added highlights and going shorter. I now have a very short pixie cut with highlights mostly on top and blended down the sides and back. I really like it and get compliments all the time.
The last time I was getting my hair done, my stylist told me that I don't have a whole lot of dark hair left to highlight and asked me how much longer I planned on doing it. I told her until their is none left, lol. I'm 45 and I'm just not ready to go totally "platinum" yet. Maybe in a few more years.
