Gray Hair email this discussion to a friend?

For those of you who have begun to get gray hair my question is, do you proudly wear your gray hair or do you freak out at the first sign of gray and dye it? I know that many people have the opinion that gray hair ages them but I actually like mine. I am often told that I do not have very much gray but I have plenty. My best friend rushes to grab the dye at the first sign of a gray hair. lol I happen to think that gray hair is very attractive if you wear it in a style that is flattering. Some folks, especially men can really look distinguished once they begin to get some gray.

I have some platinum strays that usually go away when I color my hair. I am fortunate not that not all of my hair is platinum yet. I am not certain as to what I will do once it turns entirely white. I may like it, I may become friends with Lady Clairol.

I found myself looking forward to getting mine, Elusive, and I only occasionally think of washing away the gray. lol

i found my first grey hair at age 20, and now in my late 20s i'm finding more and more. i used to pluck them when i found them but now there are just too many! the next time i get my hair cut i'll probably have it colored to cover the grey as well. i know on some people it can look quite classy, but i still think in my 20s is too young to be showing so much grey!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (4984)   ranked 46 out of 1,870 in beauty  6 months ago

Sometimes it's a family trait, cifirretsbol. I know the members of my family tend to gray at an early age, but it did not happen with me. I have cousins whose hair is completely gray and they are much younger than me.

I have very mixed emotions about my "white" hair. lol..Its definitley whiter than gray thats for sure. I decided along time ago that if its get bad enough that I'm just going to go all white! Why the heck not? I dont see the point in spending 12 to 20 on a box of hair dye every month or spending 50 to 60 at a salon. Not worth it. However I am only 25 and not yet 26 so it does suck that I inherited those early graying genetics from my parents, but what can you do right? I do think that women that go all white or let it grow look great..So we will have to see where it goes:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (4984)   ranked 46 out of 1,870 in beauty  6 months ago

I like your attitude, smwilliams. I think it's all a matter of acceptance. A person doesn't have to look old simply because their hair is turning gray. I would only consider coloring mine if it came in in that unsightly yellowish-gray.

I am 23 and I have grey hair from 19 years old. my mum said she had the same problem in my age, so I think it is in our family. I don't realy freak out, but it starting to bothering me more and more. I don't know why, becuase before I didn't really care, I guess so many people point it to me so much, so that's why it bothers me now.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (4984)   ranked 46 out of 1,870 in beauty  6 months ago

I had this good friend back in high school, laurika, and her hair was already beginning to show signs of gray. I don't know if she went completely gray because I moved away several years later.

I dye it, luckily I don't have that much, I just use the Root Touch up kit.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (4984)   ranked 46 out of 1,870 in beauty  6 months ago

I suppose that's alright, ladym, if you don't mind the constant upkeep.

I have, over the years, dyed my hair most colours, except green:-) currently my hair is dyed black but the silver is, once again, showing through. I was wondering whether to dye my roots again and keep fighting, but having seen my silver hair (fortunately quite a metallic silver in appearance) I am contemplating leaving it alone to go completely silver. My hair is down to my waist so I might have a very long wait


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (4984)   ranked 46 out of 1,870 in beauty  6 months ago

Indeed you would, recycledgoth! My hair is not that long but I like the silver threads. I think they add a distinguished look to my appearance.

I have had streaks of gray hair since I was in my early 20's. I dye mine now and then. My mother is 60 and her hair is all gray. She actually suits it and when she wears a shade of green (I think maybe forest green or dark green), it looks really nice.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (4984)   ranked 46 out of 1,870 in beauty  6 months ago

Once I began seeing a few gray strands in my late forties, maddysmommy, I was hoping that mine would all turn gray, but it hasn't happened. I think I would love to go completely gray.

I color gray whenever it becomes noticable. As you said it makes some men look distinguished, but once you let it go, you really don't have the option of going back. It would look really silly to go home from work on a Friday with a white head of hair and then show up on Monday with dark hair. Although people may say it would look nice, they probably would snicker about it when you are not around. Once you let the grey stay, you got to stay committed to leave it that way.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (4984)   ranked 46 out of 1,870 in beauty  6 months ago

I'm not so sure about that, mode, as I've seen movie stars go back and forth pretty easily.

Shall I be honest with you? Is no one else listening, ok come closer and I'll whisper it into your ear, I pluck my grey hairs out with tweezers, yes it's true, Wolfie is very vain, and I am getting lots of grey hairs here and there and I get rid of them as soon as I see them. I don't think I'd look distinguished. Mind you that's my poor self-esteem talking.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (4984)   ranked 46 out of 1,870 in beauty  6 months ago

I have to agree, wolfie, that you must be very vain. lol But, seriously, we are all vain to some degree.
