[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. At what age do you think its socially acceptable in US metropolitan areas/suburbs to allow ones hair to become gray?

2. At what age do you think its strange for a woman to NOT wear her hair gray?

My answers:

1. This is the one I'm really curious about. I've had to color my gray so long (since 30) that at 42 I'm already over it. I realize some women my age are just getting started. I'm thinking I will definitely wait until my youngest finishes college (I'll be 53) and maybe I'll wait until 60? If it were socially acceptable and in the mainstream I would do it now.

2. I definitely think by upper 60's/70 it looks weird to NOT have gray hair. I think Pelosi and Feinstein look ridiculous with super dark brown hair. [/quote]

If you take care of your hair, I think it's fine to let yourself go gray whenever it happens. Gray doesn't automatically mean old, and it would mean it even less if people who went gray early just embraced it. Gray can look stunning. The difference is being proud of your appearance and doing things to make yourself look your best. If you feel like you look your best with color, then do that. But that doesn't mean you can't look your best with gray.[/quote]
