Re: For Those Ladies Choosing To Go Gray...

I have never colored my hair a day in my life and am going gray.  I refuse to be a slave to the bottle.

Re: For Those Ladies Choosing To Go Gray...

I am almost 75 and I've embraced my gray hair! Nothing makes a person look older than hair with grey roots growing in with dyed hair. And I find it hard to believe that an older person that dyes their hair has healthy looking hair.

@Trinity11 @San Antonio Gal With Vicki Lawrence, I think it was more the "style" of the gray hair, the way the character dressed, acted, even held her mouth (always kind of "pursed") than the gray color that made her appear old.


Makeup is used to age people on TV and movies. Not hair color.

For me it's more strange, I would never see myself in gray.

I went gray fourteen years ago and have never looked back! I get more compliments with my gray hair then I ever did with my dark brown hair. I think it all depends on the cut and also if the hair is healthy looking.

Re: For Those Ladies Choosing To Go Gray...

I have nothing against going gray.  Some people look like silver foxes.  However I believe it depends on the undertone of someones skin.  Gray does not look good on me so I dye it myself.  My hair is healthy and long.  I do admire how some ladies look wonderful with white/silver hair. I remember being on a zoom meeting with a co worker during covid.  Her hair had gone silver and she looked amazing and I told her that.  She started laughing and said her husband told her that her hair had never looked better.
