4. Nope.
Mine is about 60/40 black/white, and a natural skunk-stripe up front.

Any attempt to color it would be noticed due to the lack of abovementioned stripe.

6. No, there's too bloody much of it
It would take about 6 boxes of the stuff and I shudder to think what it would cost in a salon. What do flying monkeys charge?

11. welcome to DU, natural blonde in Denmark!
My mothers father was from Denmark and her mother was from Sweden. So I was blonde when I was younger but my hair has become darker with grey mixed in!

12. Yes, ma'am. I get a cap at the salon every 12 weeks or so.
My hair is still naturally blonde, but so darkly dull and dirty dishwater looking. Blah. Yuck. I don't get all over color, just a cap.

13. I do a combo of the 1st 3.
I'm a stylist who sometimes does my hair at home (retouch to the roots on top of my head only) at home 2 or three times before I have a friend (who is also a stylist)do a retouch all over,roots only every 3 or 4 months. And every 4-6 months I have another co-worker at a salon do the highlights.
Every year or two I start all over or change the color,or something different.

14. I go to a salon, because the temporary dye doesn't do it anymore.
I started going gray very early. I was okay as long as I stuck to Nice N Easy type dyes that wash out after so much time. But, the gray is too thick, now. So, I suck it up, budget it in and go about once a month. I'm too scared to attempt a home dye job again after a few miserable failures in the past. Eventually I'll get tired of it and just go gray.

17. I quit coloring my hair years ago
It was too much trouble for a change that wasn't real far from my natural color.

Never have. (other than spray in crud for Halloween) I do let the sun and pool provide highlights.

23. I used to, but don't anymore
Grey hair is mixing in with the brown, and I've got a skunk stripe at the back (I actually had someone ask me if I did it on purpose, with bleach!)

I don't know if the dyes are truly safe, that's why I stopped. If I knew for sure they were, I'd probably start again. The grey doesn't bother me, it's the muddy brown colour that does.

25. I do because I don't like a full head of gray at 35
Thanks to my Mom's father - he was the same way.

I am currently Cinnamon Stick - and I love it!
