 I’m just letting it happen 🤷‍♀️ it’s slowed down over the past few years and I’m not as grey as I was 

I was blonde/straight hair 20 years ago. Now it’s brown/wavy. My friend recently asked if I dye it because “wtf is your hair brown? You look pale.” 🤣 old friends talk the most shit. 

Most of my girlfriends dye the grey away. Seems like fighting nature. We’ll see what I say if it does a hard fork into grey streaks like that pic… but so far I’m ok with it. 
 I think adjusting to the grey has to do with changing your wardrobe and makeup to match. Most age into a cooler, more dramatic palette. 
 Good point. It’s easy to see yourself one way and not change… I did that with the wavy hair. Like, I just finally realized it will *calm down* if I treat it like curly hair 🤷‍♀️
