WHAT'S THE BEST WAY 2 GO GRAY?

Jayne: “I started coloring my hair at the age fifteen, and continued coloring for the next 33 years! I wasn’t brave enough to go cold turkey, so I added more and more blonde highlights, until my dark brown hair turned blonde; then I let it grow out.”

Laurel: “My complete transition took eight months. I began growing out a layered bob and kept trimming. Then, at seven months I cut it into a short-shag. This got rid of all the dye except a fringe on my bangs. At eight months, I snipped off that fringe myself!”

Annette: “Cold turkey with pigtails.”

Deb: “I quit cold turkey. I kept it short and powered through the many colors that worked their way out. Seriously thought about a buzz cut at one point, but didn’t do it. It took me about six months to transition.”

Chris: “I started coloring my hair in my 20’s, and continued until I was 60. No matter what color I used, (within two weeks), it would turn a brassy orange from the Florida sun. I decided two years ago to stop coloring. I chopped off all my hair (as short as I could), without having to do a buzz cut, and just went from there. I just did it and held my head up high!”

Linda: “It took me about two years to transition. I had my hair cut to chin-length with layers and highlights. Once the layers grew out, I let it grow long. I love having healthy hair, and now I don’t have to worry about the roots showing or putting chemicals on my head anymore.”
