I went cold turkey an got regular trims, as I liked the idea of the dark and light contrast. After one year, I cut off most of the dye by adding layers." Laurel: "My complete transition took eight months. I began growing out a layered bob and kept trimming. Then, at seven months I cut it into a short-shag. This got rid of all the dye except a tiny bit on my bangs. At eight months, I snipped it off." Deb: "I quit cold turkey. I kept it short and powered through the many colors that worked their way out. Seriously thought about a buzz cut at one point, but didn't do it. It took me about six months to transition." Chris: "I started coloring my hair in my 20's, and continued until I was 60. No matter what color I used, it would turn a brassy orange within two weeks from the Florida sun. I decided two years ago to stop coloring. I chopped off all my hair (as short as I could), without having to do a buzz cut, and just went from there. I just did it and held my head up high!" Lisa: "My mom found my first gray hair at nine, and by seventeen I had a gray streak right smack in front. I began dyeing my hair, and at 47 decided I was done! I went cold turkey. I cut my long dark hair to a short bob, and got a perm. For me, it helped with the demarcation line. After I got about two inches of growth I got my first of three pixie cuts to remove the dye. The process took about nine months."AUTHOR: Jan Rogers/Age 62/Indie Author/ ESTA Advanced Licensed Managing Esthetician in two states/Baby Boomer/PEACE!GET READY - GET SET - GO GRAYLICIOUS!FIVE THINGS ABOUT ME1.
