Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

You could get a few highlights or lowlights put in, that'll cover them. Otherwise I can't think of anything long term. Another option is tinted brow gel, just be sure to avoid the stuff with fibers. Brow gel will wash & fade out every day.

My hair is very dark brown naturally and the greys are white, sparkling and wiry. They are so noticeable and stand out like lightning rods.
I've just been plucking them out as I see them. However, it's becoming a big job.

You could try Gray Away if you don't want to color all your hair. I haven't used it but my mom uses it for her roots between salon visits and she seems to like it.

When I got too many gray
When I got too many gray hairs to pull, I started using demi-permanent color. (Clairol Natural Instincts)It lasts about 24 shampoos and is not hard on your hair as it contains no ammonia. The grays look like highlights. I did this for about 15 years and just recently started getting it permanently colored by a stylist.
That sounds like an option

There is a hair product for touch ups that is like eye make up. You brush it on to your hair and it washes out. No damage and no fuss.
