  1. I think it looks amazing – and yes it looks like it’s there on purpose it’s growing in so pretty. I love it!

    • Thanks Lynsey! I am really starting to like it. But I am getting a bit antsy to have it done. Larry keeps saying to just cut it all off or do something silly like a Mohawk but I’m not quite ready for that. Thanks for being in my corner on this. It helps get over those rough patches where I’m not feeling so pretty.

  2. Looks Great! I’ve never dyed my hair, and first noticed gray around my temples at about the age of 30. A bunch of years later there are more grays in more diverse areas, but I’m to the point where I actually wish the gray would just take over all over the place. My thought is embrace what your Mama and Pop gave ya!

  3. It looks amazing! I am starting to get gray on the sides of my hair..bad!!! It inspires me to see how great it looks just to let your natural hair be.

    • Mellisa, I am shocked at how much I like it. I thought I would hate it but I don’t. I just need to wear makeup.

  4. Wow, it looks fantastic on you! 🙂

  5. When I start going grey, I don’t think I’m going to dye my hair either.

    You look great!

  6. It looks very sophisticated and hot on you! I admire your spirit. I am close to 100% gray but I have not embraced it, still dying my hair.

    • Jennifer I tried a couple times before but I just let it grow in with my very long hair style and it looked horrible. I’m glad this time I went to my hair dresser (who I had to convince I should go grey, she didn’t want me to) because she helped me come up with a plan that is the least painful. I sort of wish I could just shave it all off (which is what my husband said to do) but I’m not that brave.

  7. I’m getting a white stripe right in the front bangs where you have it too. I’m not sure how I feel about it, some days I like it but I wish it wouldn’t grow in with that weird texture, like the rest of my bangs will lay flat and the white will poke up like a little corkscrew. I might put manic panic on it for fun, its a natural dye from my punk rock days, its just so messy to use it and washes out so easily.

    Looks great on you though, it will be quite a change from being so dark.

    • Oh I remember manic panic! is it natural? I didn’t know that. Yes, the white hair does seem to have a different texture, but then I have some that are white that are perfectly smooth and sleek. weird.

  8. I think it looks great!

  10. I like a little bit of gray so I think it looks amazing

    • Well, it will be more than a little bit when it finally gets all in. But I will still have a lot of dark because the back is still full of dark.

  11. You look great! I have tried to grow mine out, but the gray hair does not go well with my skin tone at all.

    • I had done a lot of reading on going grey and they all said it looks best on fair skin with blue eyes, so I was a little concerned because I do have the fair skin, but my eyes are dark. Then I remembered seeing some absolutely beautiful African-American woman with grey hair and thinking I could do this too.

  12. I LOVE it!!!! So much so that I could totally see people copying this look artificially (and I’m technically a licensed cosmetologist so…..)

    • Marcie I didn’t know you were a cosmetologist! Thank you for saying you like it too. That says a lot because I’m sure you look at things differently than the rest of us do. Maybe I can start a trend huh?

  13. I think you look great. I love that you made the decision to go grey!

    • I did it for health reasons. I just couldn’t continue to put chemicals directly on my scalp even if I used “natural” products. But I’m super glad it looks pretty good!

  14. You look great!

  16. You are SO beautiful! And, I am one of those people who loves it … it’s a gorgeous silver and it looks beautiful with your dramatic coloring/eyes.
    Rachel @ Following In My Shoes recently posted..Celebrating The Holidays With Family — Even When They Aren’t There.My Profile

    • Thank you Rachel! I was a little nervous but I really have had a lot of positive response to it. I was surprised at how many women have approached me to tell me they like it. It felt sort of empowering.

  17. I have been getting some grey hairs and my husband says they show my wisdom. I tell him to be quiet!

  18. I think that you are very lucky – your grey looks PRETTY! 🙂

  19. I think you look super! It helps that your color is very pretty and not a “blah” grey.

  20. I love it! I have not fully embraced my gray though and break down and dye it.

  21. I have tons of grey hair and I’m only 30. It started going grey when I was about 27. But I’m not too sad about it. Here’s how I see it: I’d rather have a full head of grey hair than to have thinning hair.

  31. I’m not sure what I will do when I really start going grey. I do have a lot of grey strands and I do color.

  32. You’re right that it actually looks like it’s deliberate, but your growth pattern is nice in that way! I didn’t know you were doing this. Me on the other hand, I’m due for a root touch-up TOMORROW and I can’t wait! lol
