I have dark brown hair. I've been dyeing my hair this color since I was 27 and it has started to get gray hair. I am 48 and I'm just tired of fighting gray. What would be the best way to get my gray to just take over? Do I dye it again and if I did how long will the color last? I really don't want to dye my hair again I want it to just stay gray.

It'd be quite pretty if you fought it with a box of silver, then let your natural dark brown hair grow through and give it depth. I don't know, it's just kind of the "cool" thing right now! ;)
You will have to bite the bullet and let it grow out. It grows about a half inch a month. Keep in mind the gray hair will be coarser and more wiry than your colored hair.
Not necessarily true. I let my natural grey, shoulder length hair grow out naturally - took about 15 months. My hair is white in the front to just behind my ears and salt and pepper (more pepper) from ears to the back.
Mine doesnt seem to be coarse either...putting chemicals on it will do that..Im 7 months with no color...not going to do anything but trim...I dont want to cut it all off...less time to grow out gray than grow out a pixie!
You can't dye (tint) over tinted hair to make it lighter, or grey. The tint has to be removed. Ask your local beauty shop for advise. Many years ago there was no product on the market to do this, it could only be done professionally.
In that case, just stop dying your hair and let it grow out naturally. The hair dye will fade out and the natural color will start to come through. You can just leave it like this or you can go to a stylist and see if they can add some gray highlights to your hair now to make it look a bit nicer and bring out the color.
