5. My late mother dyed her hair for years

In the end it was often purple and green and no, it was not stylish at that time. It was also very thin with bald batches showing. It looked bad and I told her that.

She was using cheap Clairol products.

After watching her hide the gray, I decided not to do that. At my age, I don't have a lot of gray luckily.

I don't plan on dying it. I did it a couple of times and it ruined the texture of my hair so I gave up on it.

Best of luck regardless of what you do.
