I know I posted on this thread again but thought I'd chime in since it has now been 1.5 years since I made the decision to stop coloring. I had been coloring since age 25, and when I hit 49, I finally decided "enough" I am sure I'd look younger if I colored, and I've had a couple of younger gals tell me I would be "a cougar" if I colored my hair blonde. But I am married don't care to be a cougar! At 50, I am finally comfortable in my own skin, and hair! You can see what my hair looks like in this recent blog post:

Anyway, I completely understand and respect the decision to color; after all, I did it for nearly half my life. But it's quite liberating to say "enough".
