I actually do not mind the idea of going gray... In theory! ha ha ha. I always figured I would age gracefully, because i love how older women look. Then, I got my first wrinkle. It never occurred to me that wrinkles would come one at a time for me. My husband has gorgeous crows feet, and I get one teeny tiny crease. Same for gray hairs. My male friends and my husband get pretty silver fox pepper specks in their hair. I get one gray hair. ONE. I guess it just depends on how it happens. I would love a scattering of sale and paper. I would love a solid white or silver mane. If it just looks horrible, then I might die my hair all gray or all brown (might even ask for a salt and pepper look at the salon!) and just be happy that way, ha ha ha. I don't think gray hairs will ever be a real issue for me.

I have some grays, but mostly my hair got really dark over time. I was a platinum blonde kid.
But I have been dying my hair for over 30 years, and I really enjoy flaming red hair. I intend to be a little old lady with outrageous hair colors.
If I thought I'd be all silver haired, I might let it grow-in gray.
But in my family people tend to get dark charcoal sort of gray like a Schnauzer.
I started to get grey hairs when I was a teenager. And now that I'm in my 30s, they're slightly more noticeable, especially in the front of my head.
No plans to dye them! I'm just going to age gracefully and naturally like a boss! Besides, grey hairs are a sign of wisdom and maturity, lol
When I start getting greys, I'm going to dye my hair some crazy-ass colors. I'll probably stop when I'm all the way grey though.
Yaaaassss! Omg I've always wanted all my hair to turn gray like Storm from X-men! so cool 🤔👽
My ex was half my age and she talked me in to dying my beard. I got rid of the girl but kept the beard.
The last two models I worked with genuinely flipped bc when I told them I was 51 they both thought I was in my thirties. I never hide the fact that I dye my beard and no one seems to care.
Some people look good with gray hair. It totally depends on if I like how they look. If I can manage to look great then sure I'll embrace them.

I've started getting them, as well as balding pretty significantly. I started balding at 23-ish, and honestly; I love it. The thing I always hated about my hair was that it was too thick. I couldn't do anything with it. Now that I'm losing my hair, people tell me that my hair looks good. I figure that as long as I work my butt off to be in good shape, I will look good, even if I don't have a beard. My facial hair seems to be coming in though, slowly but surely.
I have grey hair and care less.
There’s also this chick I work with who also has grey hair. Not that dye that seems to be so popular, but real grey hair. Here’s is a 50/50 mix of grey and her natural color. She’s in shape and her face looks good still.
I must confess and for the life of me I don’t know why but I just want her so bad. There’s something about that long grey hair that just gets me aroused.Of course. If my hair turns gray, then it will turn gray. That's the way life goes. Granted, I can keep coloring it. But why do that? It's a pain in the ass to do every now and then and once I get old enough, I'm not going to care or have the energy to color it. So, why start now?
I think it depends. My granny is in her late 80s and dyes (is this the correct spelling?) her hair, because her natural grey hair is not bright, while lots of her friends don't and have naturally extremely colourful grey hair. It really depends on what looks better on you, I guess. I'm still like 45 years too soon to think about it though :D
In the example photo, that woman is rocking it! It looks so nice. I always find that long gray hair on women looks nice. I hate how a lot of old women hack their hair off and perm it.
I'd probably dye my hair for awhile before I embrace them, that's what my mum has always done. Eventually I would probably just let it go and embrace it, but when it first starts happening i'd try and cover it up.
I already told him I’m not dying my hair!
“They say time take its toll on a body
Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray
Well, honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway”Right now, I'm embracing temporary hair colors... have nothing against grey hair, but just like with having children, I just don't feel ready for it yet
I think it depends on when I started going gray, like if in the next year then I'd dye it however if it starts in 20/30 odd years then I'll probably keep them
Grey hair on a man is so distinguished but whilst I say I embrace mine, vanity says colouring is for me (for a couple more years at least!)
I won't have any hair left by the time they turn gray.
I embrace them. I embrace my greying beard. A fucking worked hard for those greys.
My step-aunt kept her gray hairs. She didn't dye or pull them out. I tbought it was sexy, even though I was 20 years her junior. She had long black hair, with streaks of white.
There's something very attracting about it.Id be kinda in between. Id probably do like how Stacey London does it where my hair is dark but there's a gray stripe
I'd honestly would look amazing with salt and pepper hair. Half decent in all grey. If I look at my grandparents.
I consider my grey hair to be the color of experience and knowledge. I want my body to be as God wishes and will not change it.
I got my first gray hair a few months ago and I was proud of it but if I start to get more at this age, I’d dye my hair black.
I had my first grey hair at 15 yo, fortunately I don't have much more grey hair rn but no I definitely don't like them.
I'd rather go bald and wear a wig than to have gray hair. Although that woman in the picture looks good with gray hair.
I'm actually excited about getting grey hair. There is nothing to be ashamed about it. It happens to everyone!
