“I’ve been going gray since I was 17. But after 40, I just got tired of constantly dyeing my hair, so I started growing out my natural color.”

“All my life I’ve had terribly fluffy hair. But I always treated it as if it were straight. I admit, my hair is still not in the best condition, but I’m working on it, and now it’s a million times healthier.”

“I decided it’s time to embrace the gray. I’m 54.”
