I've grey hairs thru' mine... rather more these days actually 
Also have a fair head of hair... was told the day at the hairdressers that theres not much chance of me going bald 
I do keep wondering now and again of whether to dye it... although I was thinking more colour than hiding the greys IYKWIM |

I've been going grey since I was 23 (ARGHH). I tried the henna stuff. worked lovely apart from my grey bits went bright orange rather than the same colour as the rest of my hair..oops.
I tried the Bicarb and vinegar last night. Worked lovely. Clean hair and very little itch. I have an itchy scalp generally and sometimes the itch can start as soon as my hair is dry from the wash.
So we'll see how it goes.

I have about 20% grey at the front (where I can see it, damn!) but when I hennaed it (with bright red) the grey went a dark red and actually looks like I've spent a fortune in the hairdressers for highlights. Perhaps it depends on how long you leave it - that was just less than an hour...
Glad the bicarb and vinegar worked so far...

Glad it's working for you ZC. 
I'm so tempted. Also started going grey early 20's. I've just about given up with trying to colour it. Hate the cost, being sat in a hairdressers for 2 hours, and feeling rotten about all the chems down the drain. It doesn't last so it's an endless useless cycle! I end up with my hair tyed up just about all year. 
Been thinking about henna too. Does anyone know if you can use it over a permanent colour - and with the no wash bicarb & vinegar? Or will I have a green head of hair?

Bicarb wash sounds great!!!! Did you use plain white vinegar or organic or????
Does the vinegar smell for long or did you add something nice to it?

Every Summer I envy those blokes who can just shave their hair off to keep cool. Why are women judged so badly if they do?
Remember Britney all over the news for taking the shears off her reluctant hairdresser and everyone saying she was having a breakdown? Either that or folks would think you were having chemo and look at you with pity. I thought Persis Cambataand Sinead O'Connor looked amazing with no hair, it really accentuated their beautiful faces.

Only ever cut my hair really short a couple of times... I guess if you can keep it that short yourself then it wouldn't be so bad but I CBA going back and fore to the barber/hairdresser, hence I tend to cut it short, then grow it long, repeat as required
Currently got it mid-length (for me)... doesn't seem to grow just as quick these days as it used to. |

That because you are washing the natural oils out of your hair. be tough with yourself leave it for two days before washing...you will find that your hair wont itch after a while. |
Did realise why i shouldn't wash it everyday, but just have to wash it everyday or at least rinse it.
The most I've gone without washing it is 3 days and was driving myself and everyone around me mad.
And of course, as I'm in childcare, my hair has regularly got splatters of soup, gloop and goodness knows what else in it!!!!
