I love my salt & pepper hair & will never color again! You'll be happier w/your gray if the gray is the same texture as the rest of your hair. If the non-gray hair is straight & the gray is wiry or curly, the mix of textures will be hard to style. I’m 49 & stopped coloring last year. I love my salt & pepper hair & will never color again!

(I have a friend, in her high 50s, who has waist-length pure silver hair and rocks it.) But if it's dull or kinky or the background color is losing its intensity, so that it makes you look tired or uninvested in yourself, zap it. But then, I have been coloring my hair since I was about 25, for fun (I miss my merlot period, and marigold was fun briefly) — for me hair color has always been about adornment, not authenticity.
