Have you noticed your hair being thicker since you've stopped coloring it?

Wendy,
When I started NOT coloring my hair, I used to tell people I was just "trying to remember what my natural color was". It's now all natural, just above shoulder length, and I STILL don't really know what color it is! LOL. (The sprinkling of gray really changes the look of the original color.)
But, my hair does FEEL so much better - softer, healthier, less dry, and the grey makes it shine, which is nice!

> I am also in Florida, in the part of the state that usually gets chopped off the map - Pensacola. > Just a couple of quick comments. All my color is pretty much cut off now, and I am natural. I did go shorter during the process, but I have never been comfortable with wearing short hair, so I went with mid length layered cut. I had colored for about 10 years. When I started I really didnt have any gray, just wanted to do something different. Over the years my hair got lighter and lighter. :) So when I quit coloring I not only didnt know if I had much if any gray I also had all but forgotten what my natural color was! So it has been an interesting journey. Turns out my hair is a lot darker than I thought it was and I just have sprinkling of silver, not a dramatic gray look.
> Like many others here, I went "cold turkey", and although there were a few periods where I really hated my hair, overall it wasnt nearly as bad as you might think. And looking back, I would say it's been one of the best things I've done in years and I am happier with my hair than I have ever been. Of course in many ways I am far more comfortable with who I am than I have ever been and that may be a natural part of being a lady of a "certain age", (which many of us are who are making this transition.)
> So to you Wende, and the the others who are just starting this journey, be encouraged and enjoy the process. I think most of us who have been through it have found it very worthwhile and are happy we did it. > Love,

That's hard to say - when I colored, my hair was wavy. Now that the grey is "free", it's super curly, so it SEEMS fuller. (From what other people have said,...
