I asked this myself of two different hairdressers from two different salons and they literally both looked at me like I had two heads. The little caption over their identical expressions would have read simply: 'Huh?". I don't think either of the 20-something hairdressers I'd had could comprehend why a woman would want to let her hair color go natural. It actually struck me as funny because you'd think in such a 'crunchy' place as Portland, it would be common. (my last haircut was done by Lonnie (hairfixr) and I know that he wouldn't get confused if I asked to go grey again! )

You would think there would be a 'grey' hair product that would allow an easier transition. I literally did the overnight grey thing and I got a LOT of strange looks and whispers behind my back. Oddly enough, people only commented on my hair cut to my face and not the color which was funny since I'd been that short before and the color was clearly the striking change...
