I'm a Baby Boomer who colored my hair for decades and finally decided it was time to ditch the dye. One great motivator was reading the package labels and discovering the toxins and unnatural substances that I had been slathering on my head for years - Yuck! I was ready for a change.
At the same time, I wanted the transition from dyed dark auburn to my natural gray to be as smooth as possible. I had no idea of how to do this. I didn't know what MY exact gray/silver color was going to be, but I was determined to stop coloring my hair.
It also helped to do a search on Google for images of graying ladies. Wow, was that an eye-opener! There are some gorgeous women with gray hair out there. In seeing them, I became more determined to join my silver haired sisters and step up to my own authenticity.
If you're thinking about ditching the dye and going gray, then this guide will help introduce you to several practical options on the HOW to go gray as gracefully as possible. I discovered an unexpected emotional component as I examined my reasons for coloring my hair in the first place and the process of "coming out" into my own maturity. Thank you for stopping by. You're not alone.
