Poll question: Is The Hair On Your Head Its Natural Color?
Or have you done anything to enhance it?

3. No enhancements here...
but some of it is no longer its "natural" colour, anyway (my natural hair colour is not grey, as far as I know)

5. I rinse it with henna weekly
I was born a red head, but when I hit about 35, it started to slowly fade to strawberry-blonde. I rinse it with Aveda Madder Root conditioner, that contains henna, once a week to keep it more on the red side.

Eventually, I'll probably let it go blonde. The women in my family don't start going grey until their late 60s or early 70s. My mom is 66 and has no grey hair. My grandma didn't have grey hair until she was well into her 70s.

9. If you consider the encroaching gray "natural"
then yes.

Still have the majority dark brown (very dark brown - sometimes looks black).

10. The sun lightens my hair a lot. I don't really need to color it!

12. Does reverting to your childhood color count?
:D

My hair is grey at the front, but the rest is a mousy brown, the kind of brown that towheads get as they get older.

On Saturday I returned to my "natural" blonde state. ;-)

13. I have so
many colours (natural) in my hair I don't do anything at all to enhance it.
there's a mix of auburn, brown, blonde and a hint of grey here and there.

14. More red than it is naturally!
I've been some version of red/orange on and off for about 12 years now... excepting the periods of pregnancy and purple/blue/green!

15. Henna is 100% natural!
Mousy brown does not go gray--it just gets mousier. Ugh.

16. Mine's got some
'cover the silver' on it, but I decided to just let that go a few months ago. It's getting too long to mess with that crap. :P So it's auburn with silver highlights. :D

19. Mine is too,
except the natural section is about 3" long. Fortunately my died color and my natural color don't clash and it looks pretty good. Kinda subtle if you will.

21. Mine's natural...but...
I have used color to get rid of the gray in my hair in the past. Only problem with doing THAT is that you have to KEEP doing it for it to look right. PLUS, I keep my hair so short that in no time I've cut all the color out of it.

Thought about using "Just For Men", but haven't tried it yet. I'm too damned young to have all this gray hair!
