Going grey- no more dye- anyone transitioning etc?

[QueenCess]

I have cut my hair into a pixie and am loving the pewter colour that is emerging. The brown dyed ends look so harsh and unnatural. I can't wait for the final chop!

Anyone else out there doing this? Have got so worried about the chemicals in all perm hair colourants that I decided to grasp the nettle and you know, it's not as scary as I imagined. I'm late thirties.

Love the 'going grey looking great' site. Great for inspiration.

This is inspiring...Succumbed to colouring hair again after successfully growing all dye out but once again it has gone brassy as a result of cumulative peroxide on ash base. Just reviewed photos of it natural and it looks a classy, taupy darkish brown with some silvering at front. Ho hum start again one week after dye job. May have short crop in due course and hope do not look like goofy hamster due to overbite and cheeks :)

I would never do this, at 57 I'm still a very classy multi highlighted dark blonde, and at 87 so is my mother - and I can't go grey before her! I know from past experience a pixie crop feels good ad is easy to manage but this cut with grey hair is very very ageing.

ah now, blonde is much easier to grey slowly. I 'm ash blonde naturally, but now very white at the front. Have stopped having highlights to cover the grey and am using the old-lady blue-rinse shampoo 'Touch of Silver' twice a week to blend the blonde and white and neutralise the brassy tone. Hair is now a fab shade of platinum blonde which I struggled to get for years before I was grey. I'm loving it and my hair is longish and layered too.
