I'm 58 and have been coloring my skunk stripe for at least 30 years. I have had times where I get it done professionally and times when I do it myself. I have very dark brown hair and the gray definitely won't come in gracefully. It's a very ugly salt and pepper -- heavy on the salt (. I am blessed with good skin - very little wrinkling - and I'm just not ready to give in to the gray!

My hair is also very long -- I wear it up all the time, and in a ponytail that I can weave through the back of my helmet and ball caps. At work I wear it up.

Someday, when I'm tired of coloring my hair, I will go very short and maybe start using a rinse of some sort to color the roots until the dark part is all cut off and then go totally grey. I just don't think it's going to be anytime soon.
