I swear, if I were blond, it would be a no-brainer for me to let it go silver/white. But I'm Asian, and it was dark brown/reddish highlights when I was young. I dyed it myself from mid-30's on, when the grey got to be more. Now that I can afford to 'splurge' I do, and go every 4 weeks for color and trim. She charges me $50, $58 with tip.

I'm probably 40-50% grey, still dark in back, all grey in front. That's what I can tell from the roots; it could really be scary! I'm 49. I tried letting it go grey years ago, and got depressed everytime I looked in the mirror, I looked so washed out. I just can't go natural yet!

I want to get to the point when I can cut it short, short and let it go grey! 70, maybe? I'm a little self conscious too, since my fella is 10 years younger.
