Anyone decided to go fully grey from brunette

If you dye your hair brunette at home, that’s not too much trouble and cheap.
Grey is ageing, my cousin has gone from dark brown to grey and it has put years on her.
Why not try a lighter colour? I’m sticking with a natural brown look and highlights until the very end.

I got fed up with all the dark brown dye so started experimenting with different colours to lighten it. Started with aubergine but that proved just as hard work so then tried various pink dyes. These were good fun. Some easier and more effective than others but enjoyed experimenting and often got admiring remarks about the results. Then the start of covid. As I wasn't going anywhere stopped bothering and so went completely grey/silver. Pleased with the result and so haven't bothered to start with colours again.

You will inevitably look older. How about going grey but have highlights put in.

Embrace the hair full stop. You don't know what you've got til it's gone.

Dark brown long bob just beginning to turn grey underneath. I plan to wait till there is a substantial amount of grey and then dye it pink so it will be sort of stripy!

I had been dying my hair so long I was shocked when it all grew out and my hair was curly not frizzy lol

Embrace the grey!

My friend did this. She has fabulous hair. She is 71 and kept it long. Almost to her waist. It's grey, thick, wavy, shiny and beautiful.

Yes I intend to go cold turkey too tanith, I think I will be wearing a few different hats and headbands 🤣

I should have said I won’t have long grey hair though possibly go for pixie cut, or shaggy Bob both of which I’ve had in the past.

I dye my hair at home, go to hairdresser every 6 weeks to keep hair in good condition.

Both my daughters are transitioning from brunette to grey, they went cold turkey and are just having a trim now and then. They both have long hair and they both agree their hair is thickening up and much healthier than it was. They joined a group online for support and are happy they’ve done it, they wear their hair up sometimes but it’s now into year 2 and still a way to go unless they go for a shorter cut.

My DIL has done this, she's 45, long wavy hair, grey suits her much better than brunette.

I went from brunette to grey during covid, but my hair is shorter, which makes it easier. But I did have few friends do the same, and their hair is a bit longer, like yours.

You didn't say if you colour yours at home, or go to a hairdresser. I would suggest going to a hairdresser, let them know your goal. They may suggest to lighten it to an ashy-brown so the transition isn't as obvious, or put in some ashy brown highlights.

I am happy that I did it, and quite like the colour of my hair now.

Just a thought - Perhaps your hairdresser could start you off with some silvery streaks to break up the darkness.

Did you just go cold turkey, or have your hair cut in stages as it was coming through! Which colour was the dyed colour pittcity I’m very dark haired so I think it will look a real mess as it comes through 🤣🤣

Go for it. I stopped the dye and not only save a fortune but my hair is in better condition than ever.
