[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone,

I started this thread and appreciate all of your comments. I remain afraid to stop coloring, even though I strongly dislike it. Really weird psychology, more complex than I understand, I guess.

I am recently single and I am also afraid of looking unattractive, or not finding another spouse, which I want. I am also concerned with our ageist soceity and how that affects work. Thanks for describing your work, if you did. It does matter, unfortunately. I see and hear it every day, even from older people against other older people.

I found a good instagram page called Grombre, and the women on their look great! I have always been very "natural" appearing; no makeup, casual clothing, no real embellishments, so if my hair goes gray I will look sort of hippy/unkempt. One time my hair colorist told me I had the "washed up on a desert island" look. She seemed to be complimenting me, but I don't think that would be good with gray. The women I see with gray who look great generally have bright lipstick, cool art gallery glasses, big dangly earings, are very chic and stylish looking. I don't want to look sloppy... I wear scrubs to work and jeans and outdoorsy stuff at home, so **^%$ I don't know what to do! In healthcare there is a funny reverse ageism for a while, when you are young: "you are not old enough to be my provider! where is the real provider?". I might finally look the part now.

A bunch of my kids' friends' parents are all going gray now, but they are very chic in so many other ways that it adds another cool dimension to their appearance, not a bad thing.

Love to hear more. And also will be checking the gray at 38 thread!
