Mature women-How often do you color your hair?

I used to color my hair but wanted to quit. My hair is fairly short as I'm sure you have noticed. I used Fanciful (Brown). You may remember it back from the good old days. Its in a gray plastic bottle with pink writing on the bottle & a pink squirt cap. It washes out so you can't go wrong. I'd wash my hair, then dry well with a towel. Then I squirted the fanciful in the areas with the most gray. Poof....gray gone. Of course you have to do this every time you wash your hair. In your case, you might only need to only use it on your part. Or experiment where you need it most. It looked so natural even my hairdresser didn't know what I had done. I waited a long time between my last haircut. When I went in my hair was brown. After he washed & cut I was salt & pepper with mostly salt. He freaked because he thought he had done something wrong. I explained I had decided not to be vain & was letting it grow back out. I have found the fast food places give me my Senior Discount much easier with a touch of gray. Plus I found coloring to be too much trouble. My hair grows fast & my roots were always showing. It doesn't matter if you do it yourself or pay $1,000 the roots will show about the same time when your hair grows. You might want to look at the store. They now have root touchup kits. I've not used them but you might only need to do your part & it would be a lil more permanent than the Fancifil. Good luck!!! Oh yes, with the Fanciful, if I'm going to a party, wedding , or whatever I can use the fanciful for that one occasion & have no gray, then wash the next morning & be back to normal.

well, i am 28 & i wear my hair like u do & i've noticed i have a handfull of grays showing too. i usually don't color my hair. i'm undecided if i'm goin 2 dye it to cover it up or just 'be fearless that way' lol. Best wishes

I get a cut every 5 weeks. I have a full foil color done every two months. Every other month, I have my roots touched up. I prefer foiling, as it doesn't show the gray as much. It's expensive to be beautiful.

my aunt does it twice in a month. she is party addict and loves to sport the latest trend. also tries to keep herself always up to date. she considers herself as HAPPENING and does whatever it takes to keep her image intact. bye and happy my lotting.

I color my hair about once three months.Because I have short hair,and my hair is nearly white about 5/1.One day,I knew that coloring hair will do harm to the body.But I am also a woman of loving beauty.I don't want to be looked as an old woman.I really don't know how to do with my poor hair.

i do it myself, and i do it about every 2 months. depending on how fast my hair grows.

I color it once every one to two months.

I haven't dyed my hair ever since I was born . My mother is conservative and told me that she would shave my head of I ever dye it. When I grew up, I just didn't have passion for dyeing my hair anymore.

I am not at the age yet *knock on wood* where I have to deal with gray hairs. My mom and my sister color their hair quite often to hide the grays. They both do it with the at home kits though by like L'oreal and Clairol. My sister does her every couple of months and my mom does her every month or so. I have been told your hair grows 2cm a month so I would think that would be about the length that you would start to notice the grays again and you might want to recolor. Depending on your hair though you could probably get away with another month. My mom gets grays all over, she is 60 and my sister gets grays just on the sides of her head right now, and she is 38. My mom used to get it done professionally every time but that just got to be too expensive after awhile and she's gotten really good at the home kits so she saves a bunch of money by doing it that way. She also has very short hair though and with you having long hair I would be nervous getting all of the hair colored and having enough coloring, ya know? Well, happy hair coloring and mylotting friend!

I've had gray hairs since I was 15. They are now making a nice home in my temple areas and have all but taken over my bangs. With longer hair and some strong gel I could probably pull off a killer Bride of Frankenstein. _
