I used to have the most beautiful shade of brown, with red highlights. When I started to gray, my hair really looked lack luster. So I started dying it myself, but the shade was never as pretty as my natural hair colour.
Then I got RA, and at several points, I could not lift my hands above my shoulders to dye it. So my daugher started doing it for me. She got really fed up, and by that point, after about 10 years, the gray was becoming more than the brown.
So I grew it out, which was a long and ugly process. There was a brown line, with gray above, and brown below. When it finally got to the point where I could cut it, I decided I really liked the gray. I have very fair skin and blue eyes, and the gray seems to be much more suited to my colours.
In fact, if I look at a picture of me when I was younger, it looks very strange seeing such dark hair with such a fair complexion. So I am quite happy to be gray, with a little bit of brown. I suppose when I lose all the brown, I will have white hair like my mom.
