Going grey

[Indecisive12]

I’m starting to grey, mid 30’s and naturally very dark, almost black hair. Not sure whether to get it coloured when hairdressers reopen or allow it to grey naturally. I last had my hair coloured 18 months ago with an all over colour to cover up/blend in earlier highlights so the bottom half of my hair is now significantly different to the top half. The grey isn’t that striking, lovely silver I see but more dull. Help!!

Be warned that if you start to colour your hair you will be committed to that for years, peering at your roots every 4 weeks. I'm growing out my dye now aged nearly 50 and it is a colossal pita. I wish I'd just left it now.

My Mum grew her grey out in the first lockdown and she looks great. I have friends who are 90% grey before 40 and they’ve grown it out but it feels like a big decision. Like you say a big commitment to dying every 4 weeks to cover up roots which is a big expense.
