I'm 40 and don't feel it. Recently I've noticed the odd one or two grey hairs and fear going grey right now. Should I colour my hair and if so what colour do you recommend?
My natural hair colour is Dark Blond.
Thank you all.

Natural is better.Coloring hair dries it out.
You probably won't 'go grey' for some years,anyway.Finding a stray one now and again is normal.

I know the feeling! you could have some low lights put through . The salon could weave in some nice honey colours and maybe a warm blonde.
When you get older you tend to loose colour from your face and hair so it is always a good idea to add more warmth.
I wouldn't go for a full head colour as you will have to keep up with the regrowth. Weaving is a more natural way as grey hair can be picked out and coloured.

I know you only wanted females to answer this, but I'm not a sad man, and I won't leave a stupid answer. I'm 41, and I don't feel it either, and I don't fear the grey, and as far as I know, neither does my wife. Most people are astonished to hear our age. And yes, we both have some grey.
The way I see it, let it show. Age naturally. There is nothing to fear, and personally, I think a little grey looks good on a woman.
I think the only real reason for wanting to color your hair is simply not liking the grey...that's fine; but if your doing it to fight the aging process, don't bother. Youth is in your heart, mind, and soul; if it's there, it'll shine through, and transcend the fact that you have any grey at all. Hope this helps.

I personally wouldn't dye it with an all over colour. I would advise some high and low lights, this will make the grey harder to spot as the high and low lights grow out. I myself have blonde hair and have high and low lights and due to the mix or natural, darker and lighter blondes I only have to dye my hair every 4-6 months, very low maintenance.

Blonde highlights. 3 colours and a fine bleach. Then you can disguise the greys for a while, they'll just blend in. Go to a professional hair salon though.
That's what I do.
I have quite a bit of grey - 30+%, I'd say!
The summer sun will also help to bleach the rest of your hair, so it won't be such a problem for you.
Don't go darker. The grey hairs will look bright white when the regrowth shows through.

you dont have to dye tour hair because of one or two grey hairs...i know people that are in puberty and have grey hairs all over...and because you are blond im pretty sure that someone else cant tell if its actually a grey hair or a really blond one...so theres no point of worrying or dying your entire head....but if u still feel bad about it, you can find a color that matches your natural one...but u might wanna leave that for much later when u are really gonna get grey hair...why bother from now?

Yes go for it as ignorant people automatically think you are 100 yrs old when you have some grey.Go for a lovely medium brown by Clairol,easy to use and a nice change from dark blonde,it will really lift you (from a few grey hairs person)

i am 43 and have very dark brown hair almost black and i too have the odd few grey hairs and i would never dye my hair. The grey is part of the ageing process and i am proud of who i am and what i have achieved in life as me so why would i want to change that by getting rid of part of me which is what i would be doing by dying my hair, so grow old gracefully not artificially.

Hum....I'll be 49 in a few days. I feel better now than I did when I was 20... so, I can relate. I got a few shiny hairs too, but for the most part my hair is getting darker all on its own. I used to be a strawberry blond as a kid, then honey blond, then dark blond. But, now I'm definatly getting into brown.
I watched my mother fight with the hair coloring. She is like me... hair got darker with age. Then suddently she went salt/pepper... heavy on the salt. Now, she just refuses to color it. I'll probablyl be the same way. Just let it go natural.
Age is just a number. Its how you feel inside that counts.
Growing older is mandatory.... growing up is optional!
