Jo Ann if it is of any help, most women over 40 have grey in their hair and many do color their hair to some degree. Some of us have grey in our hair in our teens as I did in my nearly black hair. It is interesting that I didn't know until I was 40 that many women did not have the color they appeared to have without some help from Ms Clariol .. :) This is another * gene * story isn't it? Lots of smiles.. *seattle* Audrey friend of pwp aussie John 49/42/38? btw this is not limited to women either is it ? :)
