I certainly don't begrudge anyone their right to color their hair at any age! At age 42, I am naturally 50/50. The trouble is that as I've gotten older, that non-gray 50% has gotten progressively darker, making the grays that much more prominent. <br /><br />SOOOOO, long story short, I have been coloring for 12 years.

By the time I turned 30, I was regularly being offered the senior discount at restaurants. Altho I'm fond of frugality, I didn't want to lie to get the discount. So, yes, I dye my hair.
