My mom started getting gray hair at 18. She dyed it for a little while, maybe a year or so, but then she stopped. Her hair looks all silvery, with lots of streaks and honestly looks pretty amazing. Unfortunately other people don't see it that way. When I was a kid, people would ask "Is she your grandma?" and I was always like "Dude, she only had me when she was 35!" People have become more understanding over the years though. Once a 6 year old told her she looked like Princess Anna from Frozen because of her white streaks! I love that she doesn't care what other people think of her hair, and that she thinks people shouldn't hide their natural selves. I don't think I'm ever going to dye my hair, unless it's like purple for a month or something just for fun.
