“I was au naturale until the last two years or so. My mother died, my long-term relationship split up, and I have had some serious health and professional challenges. Being back on the dating market again, I thought coloring was a way to look younger. And I feel younger. BUT, now that I’ve decided to grow my hair out for the first time in decades, I regret my decision to dye. It’s expensive (my hair needs professional care as it’s wavy and prone to rebelliousness – like ME!), time-consuming, and inconvenient. Once I get a little further along in some of my other goals – fitness and a career change, I think I will have the courage to go back to my natural color. But I’m not sure how to do that without going SHORT again. My natural color, and my dyed color is a dark brown. My stylist estimates me to be about 70% gray (most of that acquired in the last 3 years). Any advice?”
