I started getting gray hair when I was 18. By the time I was 30, I had lots of gray and was putting a temporary color in every month (this was 20+ years ago). I went to the hair dresser to get it done, but it was called a "comb through color" it only took her a couple of minutes to put it on and then it had to set for about 5 minutes. I have no idea if they have anything like that now, but you could certainly do that yourself, if they do.

Anyway, when I met my future husband he said "why are you putting that stuff in your hair", so........ I haven't since! Now that I am 55, my hair is almost completely gray and I get compliments on it all the time. People stop me on the street and ask me how I get my hair this color. My hairdresser laughs because she says you cannot make your hair gray - only blond.

Anyway, my point is that you might want to consider letting it go!
I hear ya sister! I started dying my hair at 15, am 47 now. Having gray roots is not the same as dark ones, not real attractive. Being the impulsive kind of gal I am decided to just LET IT GO. I got all of the color cut off and have a fresh crop of gray now. I love it, I use Pantene for gray and silver hair and get compliments on it from time to time. I figure I'm not out to impress at this age and have even made peace with these few extra pounds. They are my friends and will probably live out the rest of our lives together. The man in my life only weighs 11 pounds and we don't have room for another.
