WHAT'S THE BEST WAY 2 GO GRAY?
“I started coloring my hair at the age fifteen, and continued coloring for the next 33 years! I wasn’t brave enough to go cold turkey, so I added more and more blonde highlights, until my dark brown hair turned blonde; then I let it grow out.”
“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 fringe on my bangs. At eight months, I snipped off that fringe myself!”
“Cold turkey with pigtails.”
“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.”
“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!”
“It took me about two years to transition. I had my hair cut to chin-length with layers and highlights. Once the layers grew out, I let it grow long. I love having healthy hair, and now I don’t have to worry about the roots showing or putting chemicals on my head anymore.”

FIVE THINGS ABOUT ME
1. I am the second of the five Westfall sisters, and grew up in a musical family.
2. I have been married forty years, and have two daughters, three grandchildren, and, two Shih-Tzu’s.
3. I started working behind the Estee Lauder counter in 1978, climbed the corporate ladder, bought cosmetics, and managed 55 Beauty Advisors/Consultants.
4. My husband and I renovated a dilapidated 1890 Victorian home, and turned it into an award-winning Bed & Breakfast. I also wrote a cookbook for our B&B.
5. I went to Esthetics school at the age of 57, and became a Licensed Managing Esthetician. I’m sure they will always remember the “lady with the gray hair.”

Just Average
I've bought a couple of other books that deal with the topic of going grey. This one is merely average. I found there were simply too many brief comments/stories about other women and how they experienced the transition to grey hair, what makeup they now wear, how they dress, how they feel about getting older, etc. A few comments and stories from people concerning these topics should have been more than adequate, but there was simply an excess of it. It came across as fillers and padding in order to stretch it into a book. The pictures included were inspiring, but I think more 'before and after' photos could have been included, especially when the author talks about makeup, hairstyles, and wardrobes. Show us, don't just tell us. All in all, there was a lot of unnecessary boring wordiness and just not enough instructive photos.

I purchased this book after reading the highly rated reviews in Amazon.
The only parts I enjoyed was the parts she didn't write. The individual stories she gathered up from others. Even then I didn't read the end section about what products each person recommends for their hair. I mean what's that about?
This book is great for photos of grey hair in various stages and like I said personal stories of women who went grey. Loads to relate to there
Anything else was her talking about herself and her background and makeup? There was a huge section on makeup and skin care and wardrobe and... well just crap I skipped.
Not worth buying. Google photos of grey hair and read blog entries about personal experiences.

I skimmed through and thought it was bland. Perhaps my expectations of what the book should have been...I would have liked more thoughts on clothes,jewelry and what to wear.
