The decision didn’t come too lightly. After all, as so many have pointed out, I’m young! Well - I’m 53. That’s young, right?
As much as I love my mother, her hair-dying has gone on to the point where she sort of has become a caricature of herself. I swore I would NEVER let myself get to that point. Besides, I know far too many women my age who are standing at my goal post, who are aging so gracefully…beautifully. Why NOT try?!

This was a couple of weeks after my last DYE-day. My apologies for the HUGE picture.

And this is me about a month ago. Amazing how fast my hair is growing. Could be the visual marker of passing time at the root-line adding to that effect.

I'm for coloring, for nearly everyone. When I look at ladies I know well enough to know, I often think "You're much to young to look that damn old". You might be one of those, I think. You are so feisty and full of life and love and sooo not anyone i'd imagine with knitting needles and gray hair. Feh. You're an ass kicker. I don't think society takes gray haired ladies seriously--and you are someone who should be taken seriously.

I quit coloring my hair in my early 40's. My grandmother and her sister dyed their hair into their 90's.
I think you look great either way.

It is how it makes YOU feel. I started turning grey early and colored for awhile. Got to much so stopped. After Fred passed my daughter talked me into coloring my hair again. I continued until a couple of years ago, when all dye's made my scalp itch like a dog with fleas. It was miserable and after trying organic, and other less harsh types, it didn't help. I am grey now. Kind of a salt n pepper and I'm fine with it. It is totally up to you though so if you like how you look and feel go with that one.
