[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]40 years old and I can't do it. I keep trying, but the truth is that I don't like my base color (a kind of dishwater blonde). Maybe when I'm more gray it won't bother me as much to grow it out, because it will just look gray/silver instead of this kind of muddy color with streaks of gray. [b] I think women with black or rich brown hair look great as they go gray because the contrast is nice.[/b] In the meantime, I'll keep dying my hair a kind of honey blonde color. It really helps warm up my coloring and the dye also softens my hair and makes it shinier. I'm not trying to look younger. I just want "pretty" hair and my natural hair isn't pretty to me. [/quote] Accurate. I think both original hair color and complexion make a big difference in how gray will look. The darker the hair and skin, the better the contrast. My hair is black and the gray is coming in as silver streaks, probably about 20% gray now. I call them "wisdom highlights" and get lots of compliments on it. I think it also matters that my overall style makes the gray look intentional and not sloppy.[/quote]
