Going grey - or rather stop colouring your hair - best way to do it?

As loopy suggests.

As your hair is growing so fast, the "bite the bullet" stage won't be for long. When I stopped dyeing my hair I was surprised at just how much of my natural dark hair was still around, (in a salt and pepper way) - also my hair was healthier than it had been for years. Never regretted it.

As loopy says.

I kept mine quite short initially, when it started to go silvery, and it soon lightened all over. Yes, start with a really good haircut that will accommodate the silver growth. I don't think you'll have any regrets.

Maybe you could have a good hair cut and a lighter colour, as a starter. Then continue to colour, lighter yourself gradually using a lighter shade, over a period of time.

I gradually went lighter shades as my dark hair turned greyer. Now the front must be pure white, but the roots at the back are darker.
My hairdresser mixes colour that is a blond platinum colour, which I do like.

I know OZ hairdressing is expensive.DIL has long hair and would have a good trim when she came back to the UK. x

I think pure white hair looks lovely, it's the inbetween stages that can look a mess. If you hair is coming through all white roots then I'd bite the bullet and do as looopylou did.

A really good hair cut is vital though - it is worth the expense.

My hair grows quickly so I let it grow out for a couple of inches then had a good haircut- it was either that or gradually go lighter which would have cost a fortune at the hairdressers. I've never regretted it
