How do you let your hair go grey gracefully? I started going grey when I was 24. Obviously I color my hair... So highlights of grey?
What are you doing?
I think with the way I've partied and lived im lucky to of got to 40 let alone nearly 57 so im proud of every grey hair I got. not sure about it migrating off the top of my head and onto my ears and up my nose though lol.
Stopped coloring. Let the roots grow out a few inches (it wasn't pretty). Then cut it all off, and never looked back.
That's what I did. 22in was cut off and then an additional inch was trimmed off.
@SonderOpia I have preferred to keep my hair short for most of my adult life. I got over the whole "primping" thing around 23. Short hair requires so much less maintenance. Made the decision to go natural so much easier. That, and deciding to stop purchasing all L'Oreal products, including their hair color.
I stopped all that. But i did it for 10 years...lol
The first time I dyed my hair was in 7th grade. For me, it was really embarrassing to have gray hair that young. I finally got used to it, and let it go until my mid 40's. That's when I started dying it. I finally got tired of all the retouch, and let it go natural.
My hair is 95 percent gray. I'm about to buy some hair chalk combs and see how that works. It would be interesting to have a different color funky color whenever I want it.
Well, I’m not certain, but my grey just jumped in there without me being aware of it
I let my hair grow out until it was at the length of Grey that I wanted it and then I just chopped off the other 22 inches. I love having gray hair now.
I have a few here and there... less concerned for them than thinning hair...
I just turned 60 and I have very few grays, just good genes I guess. My sisters are younger and grayer than I am. I am a natural blond, it's gotten darker as I get older. I don't color my hair. My grandmother started going gray at 24ish, it coincided with the great depression, or so she told us. I figure if I get em, I get em.
Out of necessity I haven’t colored my hair for a few years. Most of my gray is above my ears, so it’s not crazy noticeable. Once our finances turn around, I’ll dye it again. I feel like gray is an all or nothing thing (for me personally). I have thought about dyeing it with grey highlights though...I think it looks cool.
