I think we nee d a blog on this subject Going Gray. I saw your book and read it. I took me 6 months to go gray. I love it! Now all my friends are following me. They dont say it but they are doing it. I think allot of women feel this way but are afraid. Is it they need someone to make the first step? It is amazing how free I feel and so comfortable with aging. I am myself and not trying to look younger. Aging is okay. I think we are on to something with this. Please email me !!! I want to blog on this. Hi Anne

Right then and there I let my natural hair grow out and my wedding photos are all natural! I started to do semi- permanent color at 23 as I noticed my hair looked blah. I've always had a hair loss problem and dying made me an joys. Fast forward to 2011 and I was diagnosed with Lupus but still I kept pouring the chemicals on my scalp. I've achieved remission but my hair has really lightened and greyed since last year. Genetics and medication side effects! I've cut my hair short and I'm committed to ending the chemical load on my immune system. I'm pretty scared ! I'm only 34 and I'm still vain... But being natural and chemical free is my priority!

Henna was my "starter drug" - I had fun trying various shades and didn't really care if it looked natural or not. In my 40's I switched to chemical dye, the "temporary" sort that washed out gradually. Again, I tried everything from strawberry blond to burgundy (my natural color is golden brown). I did it because it was fun. Because I also had very short, spiky haircuts, I got lots of comments along the lines of "I love your hair, I wouldn't dare do that to mine. . . " Then one day about six months ago I dug out the box of dye and thought, "I just don't want to do this any more." So I stopped. Now I get complements on my "highlights" and told that my hair is "sparkly." I'm developing a little white streak in the front over my forehead between my eyebrows, which I love. I used to say that when I retired I would dye my hair bright turquoise. I think I will still do that - gray hair with turquoise streaks sounds like fun to me!

For several years, I dyed it and always felt false. When I began my counseling career, I felt the gray would add, I don't know, some maturity or gravitas or something and I let it grow out. Now, at 50, after not dying my hair for 20 years, my hair is completely gray with some brown still showing through. I cannot tell you how many women have approached me to tell me they admire my "courage" and how "brave" I am to let my hair be gray!! I think it's ridiculous. No one would approach a woman who dyes her hair and tell her how brave she looks!!! Recently, I inspired a woman to allow her hair to go fully gray. It's taken months and months of work with her hairdresser to get it done. She looks fabulous!! And she couldn't be happier. She now feels like her authentic self. And, really, that's all I ever wanted. To be my authentic self. (I haven't read this book yet, but it's on my list now. ) My hair went gray early…in my late twenties.

Spending endless hours in fussy salons and HUGE amounts of money to be never entirely happy with the result. I am one hair cut away from being rid of the last of the colour...i went completely cold turkey, no low lights or half way measures for me! I had my moments and there were times I came soooo close to going back to chestnut locks but when my hair is washed and clean the gray in it looks great and I am blessed with really thick hair and I find the condition is back on track and it just plain suits me....the colour of your skins changes, your eyes fade...gray works with all that...its supposed to be that way! I see loads of chic french women with naturally gray hair so I wish that more women could be inspired by your book and stop falling for all the hype about colour. (one thing i would reccommend is a good shampoo...not sure if i can name names but Aveda do wonderful organic natural shampoos for graying hair that bring out the wonderful depth of shades and gloss...sorry sounding like an advert!) Thank you....and that cover shot looks so sexy!!!!

The big wake up came when a friend of mine lost her hair to chemo (fighting breast cancer) and I realized how stupid I was for caring about something so temporary when she was fighting for her life. I never got upset or cared what people thought about my hair after seeing her suffering. When her hair started coming back it was gray and white and she laughed about being forced to join me in this transition. She passed away shortly after her hair started coming in - and now I embrace myself and the changes of age. Pat, just hold your head high and be proud of your bravery to go against the tide. Rock On!
