Once upon a time, people wore wigs and powdered their hair to make it look grey… So why do so many people today feel compelled to use grey hair dye to cover up this sign of age and wisdom? Are today’s women pressured to use grey hair dye to hide their lack of natural color?

Perfection in a bottle
Grey hair causes a lot of women stress as soon as it starts to appear. It’s easy to reach for the grey hair dye and cover it up at home. Millions of women spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars a year on visits to the salon and home products to color their hair. Coloring grey hair is touted in advertisements of all types; women are inundated with the idea almost every time they turn on the television or open up a magazine. But is all the money and effort really worth it…or do women only do it because they feel they have to hide their grey hair?
Causes of grey hair
Grey hair is associated with dignity, wisdom, experience…to put it succinctly, age. But this is actually an incorrect perception of grey hair. Premature grey hair is becoming more common among women, and even through normal aging many can expect to see their first greys between ages 35 and 45 — which isn’t old by most standards.

Grey hair color appears for a variety of reasons. Hormonal changes resulting from pregnancy or menopause may trigger hair changes that make greys appear. Genetic predisposition is one of the main reasons that most people, male and female, begin to go grey — but not the only reason. Grey hair may also be the result of stress. Emotional trauma and anxiety may affect the way hair cells produce pigmentation (color), resulting in grey hair. Causes of grey hair also include chemical damage; excessive hydrogen peroxide buildup will bleach the color out of hair to create the grey.
Grey hair dye
Whatever the causes, going grey is a natural process that some women do embrace and enjoy, even those who are considered to be among the most beautiful. Actresses like Diane Keaton and Jamie Lee Curtis have gone grey naturally and gracefully without missing a beat, but aren’t they already part of a group that’s imbued with rare self-confidence and strong self-worth?
The wide availability of grey hair dye and the idea that youth rules has fueled the desire of many women to continue finding cosmetic solutions for their looks. Women may choose to use grey hair dye for a number of reasons: they want to stay competitive in the job market, they want to continue feeling a certain way about themselves, they want to project a youthful image to others because of the position they hold in society or in their careers, they want to please their sexual partner.
But there is only one person you should be trying to please when you start coloring grey hair: yourself. Grey hair can always become a fashion trend for you — if you’re the one wearing it with confidence and pride. Others will see how great you look and be swept away by your strong, beautiful attitude. Every trend starts with someone, right? If you choose to love your grey hair, others will, too.

Oh my gosh! I felt your inner pain ... and I apologize for the fact that when I got to the part about setting your hair on fire, I laughed. I'm so glad you weren't hurt, and hair grows back. Perhaps a new hair-do would not only rectify the situation
