[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 48 and a brunette and I'm probably ~20% gray now.  But I started turning gray after I had my 1st when I was 26.  I have my hair done every 5-6 weeks.  I've asked my DH when it's ok to go all natural - he jokingly (half serious) said not until our youngest is off to college.

My DH though is 52 and is maybe ~15% gray but his trimmed beard is 70% gray.  Everyone remarks how good he looks and while I hate the double standard, I swear he is even better looking now than when we first met.[/quote]

52 year old woman here whose youngest just left for college last fall - I'm still not emotionally ready to go all grey (although from a maintenance, time and cost standpoint I'd love to go all grey).

I think everyone who does it is awesome, and many look great. But if I am honest (and I will be bc this is anonymous), I have yet to meet a woman it isn't aging on. If I see a woman with a sleek silver bob, stylish clothes, etc., I still think she is much older than I am even if she is in her 40s!

Also, I am pretty low maintenance appearance wise when not at work or a nice dinner/event - I love to be able to pull my hair back into a ponytail or messy bun, wear little make up, etc. As others also pointed out, grey haired woman who do that look unkempt and/or washed out.[/quote]
