My hair was always a mousy brown so I colored it most of my life. I stopped coloring my hair when I retired. It is a natural kind of platinum/gray and I've had many compliments on it.

I color my hair to hide the grey at my roots, it is a medium to dark warm brown. I was born with very black hair that quickly changed a very, very light blonde up until I was a teenager and it has increasingly gotten darker to a medium-dark brown. Does anyone know why hair can change like this?
@Willowy your hair sounds beautiful! And you don't have to even dye it!My hair is. . .dark. Some people say it's black but I dont think so. It's a very dark brown with a reddish tint in the light. I've never ever dyed it. Not even a little.
@Artiemom, I think that is sweet that your hair matches Artie!
I was coloring my hair YEARS before I adopted Artie!! and Years after I had to send Pumpkin to the Rainbow Bridge....
natural color is medium / dark brown. Lots of grey now. I just a couple weekends ago (on a snow day) decided to try the non permanent dye I had purchased long ago. I kind of like it and the grey came out kind of golden brown. I may keep on doing it, but just the non permanent kind. I can't afford to get it done at the salon.
Natural Blonde!
The natural color of my hair depends on when you are talking about. When I was young, it was medium brown with gold and red highlights. As I aged, it started turning grey, and I was white around the temples. As my hair was long, the white framed my face and many people thought I bleached it. I thought the grey made me look older than I was, so a few years ago, I dyed it back to the brown. It was a beautiful color - had the same gold and red highlights. I asked my son how he liked it. After glancing at it, he said, "It looks like it always did."
Family is so observant. I finally got tired of the upkeep and have started letting it grow out. The white at the temples is still there, so I'll have to suck up and realize that's how old I am.
Sounds wonderful. Do you have to go to the hairdresser for that.
I hope you don't have a comb over? That's really aging and obvious.
No, I am bald as an eagle on top.
My natural hair color is brown, now with some grey strands mixed in. I get blond highlights.
I'm kind of ashy blonde naturally
but it's light/medium red/brown. I like it darker--have to do the eyebrows, otherwise, with blond eyebrows, I look weird..

My hair as a child was platinum blonde . As I've aged it has turned yellow blonde and now is mousy brown. I'm glad ombré hair is in cause my blonde dye job is growing out. I've been dyeing it red or blonde for years since high school. Once I dyed it egg plant purple but it really didn't take and was just pink in the sun.

My natural hair color was dark brown with red highlights. Because of age, it has been all gray for quite awhile. I wore it that way until about two years ago. Currently is is colored with shade of light brown low lights and shades of blonde high lights. The last time, I told her color it all over. But the color was not dark enough to really color it over good. So it still has a lot of blond that shows through the light brown. I like it because it is still so light, the grey roots don't show much.
My natural hair color is a mousey brown. I have always hated my hair color.
I color it every chance I get and it's usually a medium/dark auburn (Winter) or red (Summer).
I have colored it a lighter brown but I have always liked it better red.

My best friend used to keep her hair all kinds of colors like that. She had a purple wig when she was going through chemo the first time. The best was when she had a "sunset" effect happen on accident. Most of her head was pink but then orange and yellow around her face. I really like these purple, blue and pink dye jobs people are doing now; but there is NO way I could pull that off. It doesn't fit my personality. I just admire it in pictures.

I've always said that hair doesn't make the man. Ted Bundy (had) and Charles Manson still does have a full head of hair...
