No. It’s that I realized I was defending something that didn’t need defending and I’m trying to not find moments to be offended.
It’s merely hair and what others think of other peoples hair is none of my business nor really something I care about.

IMO there are far to many out there young or old who feel,the need to look like people they see in magazines or on TV.
Often the photos in magazines are photoshopped to make them look just the right shape and their shin look perfect ,hair perfect.
My way of life is live and let live , when I was growing up in the suburbs I’d hear women say of others who dressed younger / hair dyed as mutton dressed as lamb
I’m guilty of thinking ( but not saying ) that of some who have very noticeable hair
colours. I quite like a colour steak in some women / men but not all over green / blue

Why do so many ladies wear bright orange hair? So unnatural
More natural looking than a hairpiece

So let me get this straight. You think white hair, like mine, is "unnattractive and disdainful". You think "purple hair is prettier". And you think bright orange is "so unnatural"....as if purple isn't.
You're from the Midwest where you say "so many ladies have bright orange hair? What's going on over there in the Midwest??
Then members post over 50 thoughts...and then you want "our thoughts"?
Well, okay, carry on.

Lara. On you white hair looks nice. Where I live anything goes with hair styles on women. Very diverse.

I don’t dye my hair never have , it’s quite silvery on the top and darker on the sides .
I heard someone make a comment about a women in the pub last week while I was at the pub luncheon with friends .
She had what was referred to as peroxide blond long hair ( not my words) at a guess would be
in her 60’s was referred to as the hooker .
( not by my friends )
I wondered why a lady that age would have hair that noticeable , I didn’t pass judgment one way or another , if she wanted to be noticed by men she was

I love to see beautifully coifed white hair on older women. I especially love to see it on brown skinned women with pretty skin. I couldn't wait for mine to turn white but it's kind of moot since as a Muslim woman, I cover my hair when in public. I do agree that shorter hair or a bob looks better. 
This is an internet photo...love the look.

I had a friend who used to say he loved to see the little ole ladies with blue hair. Anybody remember when it was a thing for put blue rinse in gray hair?

My Grandfather outlived two wives before he married my favorite, Evie. She was a beautiful woman in her late 80’s who could work that blue hair to her advantage. I used to take the bus from the Navy base on Treasure Island up to Santa Rosa and visit her long after my grandfather had passed. One evening while we were drinking Ovaltine and watching Ed Sullivan, she looked over at me and said “your grandfather was a great lover.”
I was 18, and at a complete loss of words. What a beautiful lady! @OneEyedDiva

It served Lucille Ball well.
People are just now realising that Home Alone actress Catherine O'Hara is in Schitt's Creek.
And anyone who would dare to tell her to change her hair colour might find themselves,
up Schitt's Creek..............without a paddle.

To paraphrase an old song,
"Don't go changing to try to please us, we love you just the way you are."
I have been thinking of letting my hair grow out and just letting it be as it is. Maybe it won't be as bad as I think.
Once you start growing it out, maybe you can add highlights or lowlights afterwards. That way only part of your hair is coloured.

My wife and I are rather happy with hers. That said, one of her best friends decided to go completely natural at the same time and went back to coloring hers after a few months.
But, this is a decision that can be quickly reversed if you change your mind.
Well, the purpose of me growing out is to not have to get any kind of coloring anymore but thanks for that idea.
Sure. The reason I suggested it is because some people find they need to grow in their natural hair in stages to get used to not colouring.
