What agate said! I began coloring my hair probably 15 years ago and once you start, you can't quit!!!
I have a very bald brother who, when someone asked him why he didn't get a toupee', said, "Why? I don't have to look at my head."
RW, I'm impressed at how long your hair must be to reach your waist. I mean, you're about 7 feet tall, so that's a L-O-N-G ponytail!!!
