Well, if you are asking about me (the grey headed fellow) no. . . mine was dark brown. .

Bonnie, (wife) on the other hand was always red. . . Daughter started out as blond. . . humm. . . .

An interesting topic. As someone who graduated in ah, lets just say the late 70’s, I have given it some thought.

I always thought that coloring one’s hair was denying ones self and trying to represent as someone you are not. My epiphany about this came in my mid 30’s, when I ran into an old friend who had “color washed” his hair and, well, it looked foolish at best.

By the way, mine is almost all white these days. . my wife threatens to harm me if I ever color it as she feels it makes me look “distinguished.” Who am I to disagree?

We are a similar age, and I have a good touch more gray than you, but at my age and station of life (and noting my XY chromosome status), “Hair?” is primarily a yes-no question. I’m just happy to have some.

Ethel colors her hair.

I can’t get past it, myself – it seems, to me, to be patently DISHONEST – to be *pretending* to be something that she’s not.

She doesn’t see it that way.
