To be or not to be - gray

[Catrin]

I change my mind on this one - right now I dye my hair - the gray streaks washes out my complexion and makes me look about 15 years older than I am. My profession is very male-dominated, and I've noted that I get treated with more respect - and they seem to listen to me more - when my hair is dyed. I don't think it should matter, but for now I will continue to color my hair. I reserve the right to change my mind again in the future

I don't think it would be quite the same if I had a full head of silver - it is the in-between stuff...

I will agree that when I see pictures of myself as a brunette, I consider dying my hair again because I look so much younger. I think the gray adds about 10 years to my face but when I remember having to dye it every 3 weeks and wear a style to keep the grow-out covered, I reconsider.

You do have to change the color of your clothing and makeup to keep the gray hair from totally washing out your complexion. It's a big change.
