[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about hiding your age; it's giving a damn about your appearance and not looking like crap.   Say all you want about societal expectations but it's a better look not to do the short gray hair. Most of the time the women look like they have been to the barber and not the salon.   Also so many times in my area the woman still has a nice figure but the hair. . . why? [/quote]

So it's OK for men to have short gray hair but not women? God forbid we look our age.

I'm just so over the double standards and I'm not even that old yet. If you don't like my hair, that's your issue, not mine.[/quote]

You can wear your hair however you like.  If you were a guy and wanted to grow your gray hair long and put it up in a man bun - go for it.  Just don't expect me to tell you what a great look that is.

I recently saw a picture of a gray haired older (old) lady former neighbor along with "Happy 58th birthday!".  I was shocked to see that she was only 4 years older than me - yikes.  I really had thought that she was closer in age to my mother.

If gray doesn't go well with your skin tone it really washes you out and ages you.  You either need to offset that washed out look with a heavier makeup or you dye your hair a more complimentary color so that you can apply a lighter, more natural looking makeup.  Obviously, you can do short gray hair, no makeup and just embrace your natural self completely untouched. Not a choice I would make for myself, but you get to make those kinds of choices for yourself.[/quote]
