Besides being painfull, my hair color growing in is grey, silver, and some brown. I have been a frosted brown blond for about 10 years, and before that had brown hair until it started to turn red when I had to start coloring it. I am 70, but look younger,(good genes) and hate the idea of turning grey. I notice many women my age are grey ,while many look good that way, I hate to go grey. I've read all your readers comments and they do make going grey sound not so bad. As I cannot try anything on my head to irritate it, I am considering the tea treatment. Can anyone tell me if this treatment can be irritating to the scalp? I have shingles in my head. Besides being painfull, my hair color growing in is grey, silver, and some brown.

My father had his mercury fillings removed only to find out that the act of having them removed exposes you to much more mercury than just keeping them in your mouth. For your sake, I hope this is not true but you may want to do a little research on this (especially since I am just providing anecdotal information here). Best wishes.

It has been great reading about your experience and all of the comments as well! This is so pertinent to what I am going through right now! I colored the hell out of my hair all through my 20's, and wonder how I had any hair left! Then at 31 I got breast cancer and going through chemo lost all of my hair. Wow...that was some reality check! So I vowed that when it grew back I would never color it again. And it was like brand new hair. I actually didn't even know what color it would be since I hadn't seen my natural color in years! I did good for 6 years and then 2 years ago freaked when I saw too many greys popping up and went back to color. Since cancer I changed alot about my life especially my diet and cleaned alot of chemicals out of my food and cosmetics. So I was concerned but decided to go with highlights thinking they weren't as bad because they don't touch the scalp. Well, I was ok with it for awhile but then I noticed alot of hair breakage. My hair was so damaged and dried out that now I am trying to grow out the highlights. Although I see many grays at my roots I am trying to embrace them! I keep thinking about losing all of my hair when I had cancer and realizing that it is just hair. But alas, I am still a girl so I want to look good. I am now considering going really short to cut all of the color out and just start over! I am no stranger to short hair so it shouldnt be that hard for me to do. Now I am 40 and as I get older I realize that certain things don't matter as much as they once did. I think it is great that you shared this part of your journey! You have inspired me to keep going with the tough growing out phase!! Kristin, great topic! It has been great reading about your experience and all of the comments as well!
