When did you go grey?

[ZednotZee]

Not being nosy for the sake of it, I promise!

I'm late thirties and during lockdown have grown my natural colour out by about three inches from my root.
I am surprised that I like my natural colour (dark blonde/light brown) I have been lightening it for twenty years so never had a chance to appreciate it before.

Last time I was at the salon I had half a head of foils, blonde highlights and my own natural colour run through to break up the root regrowth. I want to do this again when I return next month.
However all anybody has said is that its risky as I am certain to start greying soon and then I will need to go back to all over colour in any case.

Is this true in your experience or could I still have a good five years or so to embrace my natural hair colour?

Started noticeably going grey mid twenties by the time I was 30 I had stopped colouring and embraced the grey, 47 now and still grey.

I’m 57 with about 15% grey
I started with odd greys at 35 ish
DM is 82 and 75% grey
I do have salon colour to as near my natural colour as possible but never have full head colours anymore just root touch up n comb through so blends in and still shows a few of my lighter (grey) hairs
