Gray Hair transformation

Are there any women out there that have decided to quit coloring their hair and just embrace the gray? What has been your experience, good bad, any regrets? I’m 64 and I’m not too gray but I’ve decided to go for it.

I’m starting to see grays. No, I will NOT embrace them! I am a bit afraid of trying the Clairol in my cabinet yet. Depends on how desperate things get.

@MrsKatherineArch if I were your age I probably wouldn’t either. But I’m retired and 64. I’m tired of trying to fight it. My dad was 85 when he died and still wasn’t totally gray, so hopefully I’ll follow in his footsteps!

I know it’s just vanity, especially during a global pandemic. But there is a part of me that still wants to feel “normal” you know? I guess it’s like putting on makeup, or doing any of the other “maintenance” that I will continue to do. @Mbingh01

@MrsKatherineArch I understand completely and I was the same way. In my twenties I wouldn’t be caught dead going out somewhere without makeup. I still wear it on occasions, but can’t wait to get home and take it off, especially mascara.

I just don’t feel like me without it. @Mbingh01
