When to Go Gray
When to go gray is different for every woman. Today attitudes have changed regarding going gray and young women are embracing gray hair color. Looking natural is in-style and usually your natural color hair is most flattering with your skin color.
Gray requires a woman to be confident in herself and not be worried about what other people think of her. If you are young you have the option of covering your gray or letting it grow out.
If you have colored hair and want to go natural discuss with your hair colorist how he or she suggests doing it. High lighting your colored hair and letting the new gray grow out normally is one painless way to go. Some women want to remove all color before going gray.
Should you change your hair color to gray now that it has become trendy and in-style? Not necessarily. Depends on your job. If you are in a creative field you can go gray without a stigma. If you are in a traditional job or an industry with mostly young folks you might want to have colored hair.
If you feel you need to color your hair it is normal to have lighter color hair as you age. Go a little lighter and/or add some highlights to avoid looking older. Short hair styles are more youthful and very flattering on short women or older women with gray hair.
You can look washed out when you go gray but you will find the skin around your face looks softer. Colors and different shades of grays look great around your face when your hair is a gray color. Silver jewelry usually flatters gray haired women. You will want to have your makeup re-done to flatter your new hair color if you go gray.

Have Fun with Your Hair Color
Hair color is exciting and can communicate energy, enthusiasm and a youthful attitude. Almost everywhere you go these days someone passes by with color in their hair. Some gals are going all the way with full heads of bold hair color, such as orange, green or purple, to transform themselves. Or many fashion divas are adding areas of color or color art to their dos for fun.
