Just let it go natural. People who dye their hair always look weird, it's just unavoidable. No one is going to look at you and think you're 20 years old anyway, so why bother with a deception that just won't work. You're aged to perfection, embrace that!
I'm 48 years old and have been dieing my beard for the last 6 years lol , it gives me extra confidence and I look alot younger . I'm ok with going all gray and all that you do you. But for me it makes a difference
Gray hair is wisdom. Hair dye is a cover up with many chemicals and you have to keep dying it over and over again
I let my grey grow out during Covid and feared the same thing. I’m also a retired hair stylist. I LOVE my grey hair and get a ton of compliments on it! Give it a try you can always dye it if you change your mind!
You look gorgeous!!❤️
Embrace it. You will love it. I’m 51 and I love the freedom.
I LOVE your hair. It looks amazing.
Gray hair can look so chic, but I get the worry about looking older. I say try embracing it for a bit—you can always dye it later if you change your mind! Some people even add lowlights (or blonde babylights if you hair is lighter) for a softer transition. Whatever makes you feel confident is the right choice!
I am soon to be 67. I am currently working as a high school teacher because I have not been able to find anything else. Sometimes I feel it's because of my age. Most of my work life has been in a customer service environment. Please feel free to offer any suggestions/recommendations!
I’m 68 and still dye my hair. I still work and know that letting my hair go gray hair would make me look older and I don’t want that. Only you can decide whether looking older is important to you or not. If you are still in the workforce, I would say continue dying it because of other people’s perception of you. Of course this is just my opinion. Only you can decide for yourself.
People love the silver fox look. I would only my hair at a salon if I had the money for it. Cause one they know what they're doing and what products to use. But it'll like around 100 bucks each time. If your over 60 and over go with the grey. If your in your 40's and greying then go for it.
If You have a job, you can go gray, if not I wouldn’t t recommend it. Is getting too difficult to get a job and compete with the young people.
When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? Does the gray bother you? Is saving money more important to you than your self confidence? Damn what others think. If you are happy with your glitter strands, by all means, keep them. If they cause you stress, then you are well worth the time and money to cover them for now.
I stopped coloring and went gray during Covid as an experiment and never looked back. I get so many compliments. Women stop me in the streets to compliment my hair. Try it. You can always color it back. The most important thing is that you are happy with it. You may need to change your wardrobe color a bit for the best colors to wear with your gray hair. I hope you love it as much as I do!

I LOVE natural grey hair! I think it looks so beautiful. However, do what makes you feel your best! Maybe try the grey hair out for a bit and if you feel like you don't like it, start dying it again. Have fun with it!
I colored my hair once.so I could get hired. I did get a job. People who are hiring just think we're old if we have gray hair. We have experience as well. I leave it gray now. Too much for me to do every time my gray hair shows up. I'm me, still 66 years old gray hair or now!
I say let it stay natural okay yes I understand you want to feel young still but really who in this world do you have to actually impress
I don't have gray hair, even as l approach 70. I've dyed it regularly for the last 15 years.

Plus with all the hair coloring going on with the younger generation, blue, orange, red, I have even see gray!Why would they want to do that? Are they old?????????????
I have NO idea what any of these people are talking about. Grey hair ages you. If it s a few Grey's? Adjust to them being there or pluck them out. If it s alot? And it s bothering you? Color your hair. Just b very very careful about the color you choose. No quick or rash decisions. Nothing drastic. You can do drastic later if you find you re comfortable with that.
Also? If you can afford it? Have it professionally done. Don't go into a Walmart and grab a box.
Good luck on your journey.
Is it Grey or Gray?
Being a hair dresser for 28 years and I've been through and watched and been through the idea of should I go natural save money blah blah. ... Be you Be you. BeyonBeyon After how many years pampering support the that pretty much needs to stop well if shouldn't you should be the you we know when it y that v is ok
Embrace It
Natural. No regrets. Would consider dying only if looking for work, as somebody in my fifties.
I am in the same situation. I wanted to embrace my gray and let the roots grow out for a while. I just assumed the hairdresser could keep the base dark and add more gray highlights throughout so that growing it out would be more natural. I had gotten many different opinions but all of them required hours in the salon. Over 4 to be exact. I do not have time for that. Embrace it.
