My gray hair began to appear when I was a young mom in my twenties. I decided that I would just let it be a natural process because I never appreciated what my mother went through in coloring her hair or the way that she looked. She was completely gray in her early 40′s. However, several years ago I became really ill, and my hair turned almost completely white while also falling out. My wonderful daughter came to visit me one afternoon and brought a box of natural hair color. She thought it would help me to feel better about my thin tresses, and it did! After a while, coloring it became tiresome, so I went back to my own color. Whenever I have it cut, people in the salon always comment on how beautiful it is.
