My hairdresser once talked me into getting a color "rinse". I guess it looked fine, but I was scared that I would never be able to let it go back to natural color again. Underneath the tinting it would be going greyer and greyer so the roots would look worse and worse as it grew out and I'd have to cave in and have it tinted again. I'm at sort of a dark pewter or oxydized silver now overall, given how much salt is mixed in with the pepper. Depending on your point of view (glass half full? glass half empty?) I guess my hair still looks kinda like the dark near-black brown it once was but with a silvery shine to it, or vice versa, pewter grey with a dark brown undertone. Sure, my hair looks my age (59), but I think the color as simply a color and not a symbol of age is quite nice.

A bigger problem is that it's thinning in front, or maybe thinned when I was flaring through an inflammatory disease and then never grew back. Anybody know of some hair regrowth treatments that work? I wouldn't care if it comes back greyer, but I would like to have more of it back.
