Those who think the color of their hair is what makes them look old are in a sad state of denial.

And those, like you, who don't believe that gray hair is a sign of aging are in MAJOR denial.

Loved the photos above - thanks for the examples.

Why is it that most men with gray hair are considered "distinguished" - while women with gray hair are seen as "old" ????

I think the answer is grounded in biological and cultural differences. Men have always been considered the strong and powerful sex. They have been the leaders of families and government. They are the wise elders as they age. (I'm speaking generally throughout history).

If there had not been this distinction, I don't think that we would view men and women differently at all in terms of the effects of aging.

Stopped coloring 4 yrs ago. Best decision for me. Love my shades of grey. Wen has taken my hair to the next level. Actually! Transformed my hair to beautiful taupe. Thank you! Chaz & Qvc.
