1. I never had good hair.

It was mousy brown, thin and very very fine. A mess, it would not even hold a perm. Now at just a few months short of 70 it has only a few gray hairs, I have wanted to have that blueish or just gray since my great grandmother was around.

I got a wig a couple of years ago. I never thought I would do that but I did. I wear it when I am out and around people, on the farm my own hair is under a cap. I have a gift waiting to get to my friend who has a wig shop. This wig will be gray. My other is so fun, kinda a blondish bob with pink strands and gray strands but I am going to get a full gray that I can perhaps play with some.

I think we are very lucky at this particular time. We can do whatever we want and to hell with those who frown upon that. I love your red hair at 80. Why the heck not? Go for it ladies, we had to live under some pretty strict social rules and now we do not, even if they tried to do that we DO NOT!
