Are you thinking about ditching the dye and growing out your gray hair?

There are various ways to transition to gray hair from dyed hair, and all of them have advantages and disadvantages.

I see many women in the Facebook Gray Hair support groups fretting about “not going gray the right way.”

The advantage to never dyeing is that you don’t have to go through the gray hair grow-out process. It’s also free!

There are three main ways of transitioning to gray hair from dyed hair: the cold turkey method (letting the dye grow out or cutting it out), the salon transition (having a stylist blend your dyed hair to match your natural gray), or the dye-strip technique (a combination of various methods).

What does it mean to go gray cold turkey? It means just letting your gray hair grow in, and (except for the occasional haircut) leaving it alone.
