I'm dying to stop dying my hair.

My mom had beautiful natural salt-and-pepper and if my hair looked like that, I'd kiss the hair-dye good-bye in a heartbeat. But my own hair, which started going grey about 8 years ago, is still a patchy, unappealing grey at 54. I don't mind looking my age--in fact it pi$$es me off when people imply that I should be lying about or otherwise hiding my age. But I am vain enough to want my hair to look good, to me at least. So to those of you who have a nice-looking grey going on, enjoy it! I'm envious.....sigh.
