Oh my goodness! I cannot wait to get more gray hair. I have 1 really odd streak coming from the crown towards the back of my head. I so want more gray. I am just starting to get a few by my temples and am thrilled.

I do use permanent dyes in my hair. I just starting using Natural Instincts as it is less damaging/harsh and lasts just as long as permanent. Wella makes a good demi hairdye that is great. Since I moved there is not a Sally's around me.

Once I get more gray hair, I'm stopping.

Kicker - Could you stylist just put "highlights" in just to break up the gray a bit and not do all of the hair? I think that would look really pretty. I saw a lady that had both the red hair and the gray and it looked nice. Of course, it was all natural and she had a beautiful streak of gray . . .actually white hair. She parts her hair right where the streak starts and it frames her face. It's just beautiful. Just something to think of.
