Stay grey or dye? (photo and backstory)

[IceColdLemonade]

18 months ago I had very long hair dyed dark brown. I got tired of touching up the roots every 3 or 4 weeks so stopped dyeing altogether to see what would happen.

During that process I gradually went shorter and shorter.

For the first time in a long time it looks tidy and presentable. I will most likely grow it long again, I'm a long-haired girl, but I like the idea of having foils. This would mean 3 colours and some warmth mingled in with the grey so I would never have that solid demarcation line and I could leave it 3 months between salon visits.

But I can't decide!

What do you all think?

It looks beautiful and the cut looks expensively done. Lovely.

I've been thinking about posting a photo of my dark steel coloured grey roots for ideas but I daren't now!

Keep your lovely hair.

Embrace the grey I think that dying hair dark after a certain age is very ageing and unflattering .

Don't dye! It's lovely.

Your hair looks in good condition

My advice would depend on how old you are. No need to out yourself with exact age but if you’re less than 50 realistically it is making you look older. Maybe this doesn’t matter in which case it looks very nice and healthy

I love the colour, people pay hood money for that colour.

I'd be tempted to go shorter still, go completely natural then grow it longer again

No, no, no, do not go back to dye! it looks fab

I really like the colour

Yep, keep it! It looks great😊

I like it just as it is!

Keep it keep it keep it!

I wish I could do this. Your hair is beautiful.

Just another one here to say that your hair is beautiful, truly!

No, don't go back to highlights. It's bleaching and your hair will feel brittle and dry compared to your natural hair. There's a FB group called Gray and Proud if you want inspiration and product advice.

Poster Girl for grey hair or what! This looks gorgeous.

You aren't grey you're silver. It looks like a really expensive dye job.

I love it, but I do think some of the drama comes from having the longer lengths/ underneath a darker colour. If you go all one shade I think it will look less edgy.

Another one who thinks your hair colour is gorgeous and would be overjoyed to have it as my natural colour. I hope you give it a chance at least and see if you end up liking it.

You’re hair looks lovely. Well done with persevering. Maybe see how you feel after winter?

I’m dye free and go through phases of considering going back to brown, having silver added to the darker hair at the back of my head and just leaving it alone as I like the way it currently looks.

I'd pay a lot of money to have my hair dyed that colour! I'm jealous 😂
