My dad had grey hair since his mid-30s and he used to be really good looking :) My mom, on the other hand, hates her grey hair and she always dyes them. But I really like a natural look. I think that when I see my first grey hair I will let it become a dozen :D I wonder how I'd look.
I stopped dying my hair humble my pride. Grey is in style wear it proud
It's so nice how people embrace their natural beauty. I have some grey hair but I love brown hair!! I don't think I could ever stop dyeing my hair :/
I've always had premature gray hair, since I was 15. It definitely has passed down in the family! I started dyeing my hair when I was around 38 to Last October 24, 2019.
I decided to stop dyeing my hair, and accept the beauty of my hair and myself.
I'm 47 and I didn't want to keep paying for the hair dyes;
It's best to show the next generation that
"Having gray hair does mean, Have Fun, and Be Yourself"

I guess it must be very annoying when people constantly tell you to dye your hair..
We just live in a world where people feel the need of sharing their opinions, and everyone always knows what is best
It's true, we should just decide for ourselves if we want to dye or not
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.
