And you know what? I'm glad I did it.
I was very unsure..I'm 48... have dyed it since I was a teen and had no idea what my real colour was any more except I knew there was some grey at the front.
I had a horrid short hair cut , hated it and thought 'fuck it' ..I was never quite happy with the colour.. first week too dark, then ok for a few weeks, then roots..then dye again. A year in my old dye has lightened from a dark brown to a dark blonde. My own hair is light brown with streaks of white..all blending surprisingly well ( a few people have asked if I have had it streaked) and I am FREE of the treadmill of colouring it. The uncoloured hair is so much healthier than the old ends, which are gradually being trimmed out as it grows.
I know it's not for everyone, but just incase it encourages anyone thinking of 'going grey'... it really hasn't been so bad! The first three months were the worst as the roots grew, but now my long side fringe is all natural (white at the parting in streaks) I can ride the rest of the grow out journey ok.
In fact I wish it would get greyer faster!!!
