Dye it until you dont want to! There is no "time". Many people are confused that once they reach a certain percentage of gray that it is "time" to start dying their hair. I have known many women well into bountiful ages of nearly a century to be laid to rest as blonde bomshells, firey redheads, and classic brunettes. For instance, it is my Grandmother's wish that her hairdresser do her hair for her funeral! There is no defying age, however an individual's right to feel their most beautiful doesn't have to stop at any certain age!

If it makes you feel beautiful to be a blonde, then be blonde. If it makes you feel beautiful to have silver hair then have silver hair.

Beauty is abundant in any hair color as long as it makes you feel beautiful. From behind the chair I have seen every type of woman. They range from clients that attend twice a week from the clients that wander in once every few years. I am familiar with clients that have never had a chemical service of any kind however they are few and far between. I even know women that decide to go gray and then return to coloring after time. Everyone who chooses to color their hair chooses to do so in order to look what
