 What do y'all think about women just going gray?Everyone says it's making me look old, but I am sorta old. 😂 Like, they say it like it's a bad thing.

 I like it 
 🔥 
 Personally, prefer it.  
 I love it 
 In the main, much better than dying it. Once all the grey/natural colour is all the same length it looks cool. It also shows that you're comfortable in your own skin/(hair!).  
 It’s a beautiful thing. 
 I've been going gray since ~18.

I like it. 

 
 I love it. My wife teased me multiple times then ended up dying it again. Finally she is letting it go natural.👍🏼 
 I prefer it.  People’s aging faces and colored hair diverge over time, making them look like they are wearing a bad wig.  It communicates insecurity.  Better to have a harmonious look.   I say this as a guy slowly going bald and who is not fighting it. 
 Nothing wrong with that. I'm in my mid-40s and almost all gray. My beard has been gray since my 20s. 
 I match my husband better, now. He's older and aging, Irish-style. 😂 
 I think it’s great 
 I like gray hair, it communicates naturalness and self-confidence, if it is well groomed. 
 The main thing is to have long hair on your head. 😅✌ Not this house mom short haircut style. 😄 
 My husband doesn't like long hair.

 😂 He likes short, dark hair and most men like long and blonde, so I married him. 
 Me, with 22/23, including at my civil wedding.

 Peaked around 35-40 and now it's a slow slide down into my final form, and you guys get to watch it happen in real time. 😂 
 Laeserin I thought you are 20 yo. 
 I'm about to turn 44. 
 I am 44. Guess we're both reverse aging😎. 
 I wish. 😂 
 Life starts at 90

 I actually grew my hair out, for the wedding. Was super-short, when we met. 
 Short hair from 2 years ago.

 My husband tells people he likes "women with short hair" and everyone is like, Dude, you gay?

😂 Nope. 
 best thing about being mixed is how you can chameleon it... my austro-indonesian looks come out more with certain settings

i do think maybe you are not getting as much sun lately tho 
 Yeah, and I freckle instead of tan. 
 ah, i don't freckle so much, but i also have not been in enough sun for some years now 
 I do a lot of hiking and my skin seems to have completely given up. 
 Wow 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 
 You remind me of 'Audrey' from David Lynchs Twin Peaks. 
 The haircut. 
 I own my content @captjack help me @meditate @MedSunMan 🤣🤣🤣🤣‼️👍🍷🥳❤️

@kayvz 
 +1 
 Gorgeous 
 It’s a Yes from me 
 Short hair is underrated, fr. 
 Keep fantasizing about cutting it off again. 😂 
 I like the traditional dress. Better hair style also. Well my two cents... 
 I also like the dress. Dirndl style has changed 💯, since then. 
 Photo album time 💎 
 I legit just found the password for the NAS. 😂
Picture time! Also found cuuuute baby pictures. 
 Of my kids. 
 Beautiful gwurl 😘 
 GM. Glad y'all liked the pictures. 😊
Didn't expect so many responses.

 GM✌️ 
 When my husband met me, he thought I was a kindergarten teacher, or something. Then I invited him over for dinner and he saw my bookshelves and my work laptop. 
 What’s wrong with being a kindergarten teacher or something? And I wish I had books… 
 Weddings are overrated tho … 
 GM☕️☕️💜🌅✝️✌️ 
 To accept your real age with dignity is a very rare attribute in the modern age, and it demands respect. 
 How do you like it? 
Own what makes you happy. 
 I would actually like to have slightly more grey, as I just have these individual white hairs all around my face and it looks sort of funny. 
 Add some grey streaks and really lean into it 🤷🏼

I donno. Ive been receding for almost a decade. So for the longest time Ive just owned it and shaved my head twice a week and grew a beard. 
 That's what I'm considering. 🤔 
 Absolutely love women who age without a single fuck about great hair 🫡 all other views are wrong 
 😂 
 Like most things for appearance it’s how you wear it, how you pull it and how confident you are.
Some of the sexiest women I’ve met were you would say average in the looks and body department, but their self confidence, intelligence and cleverness was the hottest things I’ve ever ever been around 
 looks sexy af 
 Prefer grey to dyed any day 
 When I see gray hair my first thought is how lucky we are to get this far in life - many have been denied the privilege  
 Facts. 
 I’ve always liked it. 
 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 🤷‍♀️ 
 Everyone should just let it go grey. 95 times out a 100 looks better. Hair dyes often have toxic chemicals. 
 Own that shiz girl. Far to many people are concerned with with silly stuff like that. In the words of genie from Aladdin beeeeee yourself 🐝 
 Personally, dealing with hair dye is way too much work.  It doesn't seem too bad when you have just a little gray, but once you start really going gray, you have to keep up with it or you have terrible looking roots.  Then if you decide to stop after you are near full gray, you look horrible for a year or more.

I've never used hair dye and never will.  I'll admit I'm probably going gray slower than many, but I have better things to do with my time and money.  

The bad things for people like you that have black hair, is the grays really show.  The good thing is they almost always go a beautiful silver.  Those of us with lighter hair don't show those few scattered grays when they first appear, but tend to have dull, dingy gray/off-white hair once it goes full gray.

I'd say embrace it.  Claim your wisdom gained through a few years. 
 I for one celebrate as it comes In I think it looks great.   That is true for most persons. 
 🫂 
 can confirm on the silver

i went grey early and i still have a lot of brown in my mop but the overall sheen is shiny silver when it's clean and happy, it looks like ... well... russian blue cats have grey from birth, it's like their hair 
 Yeah, definitely silver or pure white. 
 yeah, it really looks nice when it's fully clean and happy, like fine little glass wires with a silvery sheen, they bounce light differently, i mean, like glass fibre, they have that appearance 
 The right side looks great!  
 😍Creative+beauty what called be? 
 great change  
 21 is not sorta old 
 My gray coming in has been beautiful, not horrifying. Depending on the lighting, the bounce, the scenario, it's a bit of confidence and mystery. 

It's a badge. I survived a lot. I earned them. I know things. 
I know things younger people don't. 

I understand now why older women can throw off a certain look and have it mow down every last bit of intimidation or sass thrown her way.

But the mystery and the air of confident knowing... 

Cruella got it all wrong. She could have been so much more. 
 I’m starting to get noticeable gray hairs. I’m debating on getting some highlights but I won’t be dying my whole head lol 
 If you have colored hair already, I would start adding highlights, chop off the color, or redo the whole color of the hair to be more silver. 
The photos you are posting have silver highlights added to them to emphasize the color. They are very beautiful, but they have silver highlights. 
 Yeah, I only have silver fuzz along the hairline. Highlights would have black roots. 
 Balayage highlights are a highlighting technique that looks very natural . Starting at the roots, it blends from your natural hair color to the color you want to achieve. 
So your roots wouldn’t be a problem if they grew out a bit.

 I think it should be respected instead of covered up. Surviving to grey hair age has not always been common. 💪 
 And I even have all my teeth. 
 Realistic beauty standards not to be taken for granted 🤌❤️‍🔥 
 I had it cut to a pixie, when we met. We're both short hair fans. 
 It's especially difficult to dye it, if your hair is jet black. End up looking like a racoon.
