Carol… I was just wondering the same thing. I do not personally know anyone that has grey hair that looks that wonderful……my friends greys are muddy and mixed with white wirey hairs that have minds of thier own. Our power colors are the shades that look best on each one of us individually.

I beg to differ! Most African American’s can dred their own hair. You don’t need a hairdresser for that. One more thing black don’t crack!

Hmmmm, my gray hair looks this fabulous and my hairdresser does nothing to my hair except cut it.  I guess I’m just lucky, but I didn’t think so at thirty-something when I began to get gray.  Now after many years of coloring and going lighter and lighter I decided to let it be.  My hair is gorgeous and glamorous and I am so proud of it.

Hear, hear!! I, too, am a breast cancer survivor ~ 3 years this month. My hairdresser is soooooooooo happy that I let the ‘real’ me out and stopped coloring my hair. I have received nothing but compliments on my hair and I have the same style as Jaime Lee Curtis. (She stole my look! ha, ha). Before cancer, my adult girls would ask me to go ‘au natural’ and my response was: “If there was a way to do it without the two tone effect, I would.” Well, chemo took care of that issue. Congrats to a fellow survivor!!

Ladies - I want you all to know that I began going gray at 18 and dyed my hair EVERY color from brown,red, navy blue even purple. On my 40th birthday I decided to see what was underneath all that dye. I was lucky to find myself White - just like my grandmother I agreed to participate in this article because of the positive response I get from women on the street who want to talk about going gray. I was very disapointed to read the sarcastic comments posted here I am not blonde - never go to a salon(my haircuts cost $40) I use Aveda Blue Malva shampoo and have frizz issues I thought this site was here to love and support being women and to move forward in sharing our stories The truth is that my hair came in beautifully and I am actually better looking now than when I was a brunette (that is how i became a model) if I didn’t look good gray I would still be dyeing it But what I have learned from other women is that they would love to go natural The time and money alone are worth it ! But they are unsure about how to begin the process and find out what their hair might really be like underneath My advise is go lighter with rinses instead of dyes Skin tone and eye color do make a difference And having bangs buys you 2 weeks of not having to dye so often Chazz Levi

Call me madcap, but I never thought of Queen Elizabeth as a “beauty from business and Hollywood”. Don’t adjust your monitors, Everyone of these women has color-corrected hair and many are blonde.

I thought I was seeing things - many looked blonde to me as well.
