Let it go, keep it nicely cut & it can look quite elegant.

Every 6 weeks.

I used to dye mine at home using a very light sort of blonde chestnut, which looked fairly natural. Every ^ weeks. But since my shoulder problem has got worse decided to go au naturel.
It's now a mixture of white and gingery blonde, so not too bad.
It seems to be in better condition too.

I think an all over colour looks false once your hair turns grey. I'm mostly grey now apart from at the very back where it's still dark brown so I have my hairdresser put in a few brown lowlights with foils, every six weeks. It just takes the edge off the grey & I only pay fifteen pounds a time.

Depends how your hair goes grey. I have a cute (not) eskimo ruff of grey/white hair, a couple of inches deep that goes from ear to ear. The rest of my hair is dark. My aunt went grey in a similar way. I didn't think it an attractive look on her and it certainly isn't on me, so I dye it, once every three or four months. Do it myself, it takes no time at all.

Gave up hair dye in 2014. Best decision ever!

Don't do it! My DH (Mr Vain) tried one of those comb through products, it looked fake and he stopped using it.

I think I would try that. It sounds like a good idea. I must look at the men's grooming in boots

I couldn't imagine bothering to do such a thing. confused Embrace reality!

I'd have used it. Bit late now though...

I am puzzled why there is a comb in product for men to cover up their grey hair - which seems an easy option - but not for women. Can women use it? Is our hair so different to men's? Have any GransNetters used it? I look forward to hearing what people think!!
