I like it
π₯
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!).
Itβs 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.ππΌ
I prefer it. Peopleβs 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 think itβs 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. π
β Not this house mom short haircut style. π
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.
My husband doesn't like long hair.
I match my husband better, now. He's older and aging, Irish-style. π
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.
Absolutely love women who age without a single fuck about great hair π«‘ all other views are wrong
Like most things for appearance itβs how you wear it, how you pull it and how confident you are.
Some of the sexiest women Iβve met were you would say average in the looks and body department, but their self confidence, intelligence and cleverness was the hottest things Iβve ever ever been around
Add some grey streaks and really lean into it π€·πΌ
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.
looks sexy af
Need to take note of that...
That's what I'm considering. π€
π He likes short, dark hair and most men like long and blonde, so I married him.
π
Prefer grey to dyed any day
Me, with 22/23, including at my civil wedding.
Lordy π

Laeserin, you are absolutely beautiful β€οΈβπ₯π«
I actually grew my hair out, for the wedding. Was super-short, when we met.
π« I'm 20 years older, now.
Wow π«ΆπΌπ«ΆπΌπ«ΆπΌ
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.
Bet youβre even more beautiful now π«π
Iβve always liked it.
You remind me of 'Audrey' from David Lynchs Twin Peaks.
ah, i don't freckle so much, but i also have not been in enough sun for some years now
Short hair from 2 years ago.
Laeserin I thought you are 20 yo.
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. π
Gorgeous
The haircut.
I'm about to turn 44.
I am 44. Guess we're both reverse agingπ.

Itβs a Yes from me
+1
I like the traditional dress. Better hair style also. Well my two cents...
My husband tells people he likes "women with short hair" and everyone is like, Dude, you gay?
π Nope.
I also like the dress. Dirndl style has changed π―, since then.
Iβm just letting it happen π€·ββοΈ itβs slowed down over the past few years and Iβm not as grey as I was
I was blonde/straight hair 20 years ago. Now itβs brown/wavy. My friend recently asked if I dye it because βwtf is your hair brown? You look pale.β π€£ old friends talk the most shit.
Most of my girlfriends dye the grey away. Seems like fighting nature. Weβll see what I say if it does a hard fork into grey streaks like that picβ¦ but so far Iβm ok with it.
Short hair is underrated, fr.
Keep fantasizing about cutting it off again. π
Stop being a tease
I do a lot of hiking and my skin seems to have completely given up.
Photo album time π
I legit just found the password for the NAS. π
Picture time! Also found cuuuute baby pictures.
Of my kids.
I wish. π
Happy π birthday π₯³ gorgeous lady
Thought about going back to this one @npub1hqy4...3psm
Circa one more month. π
Understood. Itβs so exciting when we women of age can celebrate our beautiful heritage together

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. Itβs easy to see yourself one way and not changeβ¦ I did that with the wavy hair. Like, I just finally realized it will *calm down* if I treat it like curly hair π€·ββοΈ
Beautiful gwurl π
Everyone should just let it go grey. 95 times out a 100 looks better. Hair dyes often have toxic chemicals.
Facts.

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 π
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.
π«
The right side looks great!
great change
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
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.
Iβm starting to get noticeable gray hairs. Iβm debating on getting some highlights but I wonβt 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.
I think it should be respected instead of covered up. Surviving to grey hair age has not always been common. πͺ
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 wouldnβt be a problem if they grew out a bit.
Like this: π
Reminds me of Rouge from Marvel 
And I even have all my teeth.
