And get way more compliments on the gray than any of the other colors it has been in the past!
Maybe that's a male perception, because women I know can see through the grey and notice my lack of wrinkles, etc. I think?
I quit coloring my hair about 5 years ago. Had been coloring since i was about 18. So much happier with the color and no upkeep which is a win win for me. More $$$ for sparklies!
Indeed, who knew?!
I'm now at 11 weeks since last root dye and have decided to just let it grow out. I've talked to my hair stylist about what a transition dye process would entail and have decided against it for my hair.
The demarcation line was very obvious even before school was shut down. I was amazed that no one at school, neither colleagues nor students, paid any attention to it. I actually felt less self-conscious once I got to a 3/4 inch strip than I did when just 1/4 inch poked through. It looked deliberate as opposed to looking like scalp showing through thinning hair.
Now with stay-at-home, my frosty top is only seen in Zoom meetings. Outdoors I still wear hats as it's still a bit chilly here in Maine. I'm embracing it as well although I am a bit wistful for not stopping (dyeing) sooner. I feel like I'll never know what I would have looked like with gray hair; it seems I'm going straight to silver-white.
We’re in this together too!
My stylist gave me a couple options..use permanent color and then highlight. This would be a time and money investment that I previously avoided by using the demi at home. Plus it would be more damaging to my hair. She did NOT want me to go grey. I went to 3 other salons in town and one of them actually laughed and said I would look old. Well OK.

I watched some videos like that and some where they grew out the roots as long as they could stand it and then got a super short pixie cut.
My hair dresser says the same thing about transitioning my hair chemically - that the bleaching process will fry it.
I didn’t consider it for one second but the fastest, cheapest way to get rid of old color is to shave your head.
If my hair looked good that short I’d have done that!
