let's face it us women are basically vain (but lately most men are too) do you dye because you have too (grey hair showing) or out of whim. i must admit when i was younger and bolder i experiment a lot on what color to use. believe me i've tried the wierdest and loudest of colors that to some extent my husband and son felt like disowning me. anyway now i dye my hair to cover the grey ones and usally i do it every six weeks and i'm a little conservative on my choice of colors. but once in a while i'll have a streak of colors her and there.

I'm starting to get gray hair.It wouldn't be so bad except that my hair is dark brown.I try to dye it once every 3 months so my hair won't get get damaged.I tried different colors,too.Then I had 3 or 4 fading shades in my hair.So I dyed it back to my natural color to fix it.I'm thinking about slowly getting lighter again back to a light or medium auburn.

I am still young. However I already have white hairs. I have dyed my hair twice. Since I dont like to dye my hair often I cut my hair very, very short. so as to have a little time wherein my hair would not be seen as white.
I think it is in my genes. However, my dad and my mom got white hairs when they were already old. My brother and younger sister have strips of white hair.
I like to dye my hair like once in every four months. I also have highlighted my hair with brown dye. I have a hair cycle. I let my hair grow long. then dye it entirely with dark brown. then highlighted it with brown or blond.
then after three months, I would cut my hair very short.
I havent tried streaking my hair with weird colors like green or blue or all white.
but I envy some people who dye their hair with these colors.

I'm only young, so I don't have the problem with greys just yet, although I do have a natural silver-white streak where I have no pigment =D
I've dyed my hair a few times, usually just a couple of streaks, or a different colour in my fringe/the back of my hair.
The next I'm going for is a plumb-purple in the fringe with a blue-black in the back =D
My *plan* for when I start going grey, although this may be subject to change, is to shave my hair, and have it all grow back silver, so I don't have to deal with dyeing or regrowth =D
I don't know what my scalp looks like, or the shape of my head, though, so I might not like myself bald =P
