I went grey - what do you think?

You look gorgeous. I'm probably equally grey, and working on exposing it - gradually. You ARE brave, for doing it in one fell swoop. Way to go!

You look great.
But, I am in the same category as Mimi. I will be looking for a new job in a new field in 2 years and right now I am in grad school with 20-40 somethings. I need to look as young as I can... I will be closer to 60 when I start my job search .
Funny, I let my hair grow out from very short (which was perfect for cycling) to just above chin length. It looks great, but requires much more work, since my hair is naturally ugly frizz. I've had a lot of positive comments on the change and my family thinks I look much younger. I wish it were either straight or curly but, I guess I wasn't blessed with that gene. I am having trouble handling it when i am riding and we stop to eat or end up somewhere other than home. It is not long enough to pull back and basically, I looked like Bozo the clown, with a matted head when my helmet comes off, since I sweat buckets. The buff works, but it's just too hot now to wear it. Before, I just poured some water from my bottle over my head and it was good to go.
The grey isn't an issue, yet. I have a teeny bit coming in near my part, but with the blonde highlights, it blends in. I have no idea what I will do when I really start going grey; brown or blonde? I was a blonde until about 10 years ago, when my hair got dark. I still see myself as a blonde...

You do look great!
Big step. I am not that courageous or that embracing of my grey. I really don't mind the upkeep and love having my colored. Not sure if I'll ever go grey. Maybe I am a bit vain.

I tried coloring out my gray in 2007 and it took so long to get the hair color out again that I decided I'm never going to color it again. I ended up going completely short to finish it off, because I wasn't willing to color anymore. My dad and his mother both have/had stark white hair and I'm thinking mine will go that way, too. I'm getting more and more gray. I've decided my vanity is not worth the trouble of coloring.

I've always been thought of as younger than I am, and I think now that I'm getting more gray, I'll have fewer comments about how I don't look old enough to have grandchildren or whatever. WHATever! I can live with that.

eta: You look FABulous! :

It looks great!! It will feel great this summer I am sure. I have tried shorter hair and it just does not look right on me.
