Makeup when cycling?

I originally started coloring my hair, not because of the grey, but because of what the sun did to my brown. That was back in my 20s.

A few years ago, when my hair was short, I went natural. But there wasn't enough grey yet. My natural brown tends to get orange, so it wasn't a great look.

But as my hair dresser says, "oh, you've got the good color grey!"

Plus when it's grown in a bit more, they are going to special order a shampoo for me that keeps the yellow out and helps it be all sparkly.

I don't own any make up. It's not political it's because I'm lazy and uncoordinated. I'm afraid I'll put out an eye trying to put on mascara.

I've never dyed my hair. Once again, it's a lazy thing. I'm WAY into the salt and pepper stage now. I just tell people that I match my dog: I'm a blue merle.

I am 27 and dye my hair, it is already quite grey. My dad's naturally black hair started turning grey at 15. He is handsome with his silver hair and tan skin now days, not a drop of black to be seen on his head!

I on the other hand am very fair and think silver hair will make me look washed out. I am not even sure what my natural color is at this point, I started dying my hair at 17 when I found my first grey.

I envy all of you comfortable with your grey, I aspire to get there.

Ah blue merle is beautiful.

But I'm not enough of a pit bull to look good in brown brindle.

I don't have any gray, even at my age (54), but my hair has gone from golden blonde to light brown in the past 15 years. I put highlights in it. I tried doing the full color and I didn't like the way it looked. I also have pale skin and freckles and look really washed out. Silver or gray looks terrible on me, so I am sure when my hair does turn gray I will be coloring and highlighting.
