One appearance choice does not fit all (a continuing series)

[firecat]

A friend who is a musician was told that in order to make a better impression at auditions, she needed to dye her hair.

I used to dye my hair for fun. I currently don't dye my hair because I am enjoying watching it turn gray. But occasionally someone thinks my OH is my son, and then I feel tempted to start dying it again.

So I am wondering about the reasons people dye or don't dye their hair, and your thoughts about hair dying in general.

I used to color my hair. I don't any more cause my hair is long and thick and it's a PIA. Also it's course so the color doesn't stick well so it fades after a while ::sigh::

I have a friend who started going grey in her 20s so she started coloring it.

My hair is brown with faint red high lights. I wanted more red in my hair so I colored it.

FWIW, I don't have many grey hairs. People keep assuming my housemate is my daughter :P. We're only 10.5 years apart. I think they're trying to figure out our dynamic (me, my husband and the HM).
