To be or not to be - gray

[five one]

I'm soon to be 58 and began getting gray in my mid-thirties. A natural dark brunette, I made the decision to go short and layered (from a chin-length bob) and not color my hair. I've never regretted it. It's about 30 - 40% gray in front and a bit less in back. As fast as my hair grows, I'd have to do the roots about every two weeks to combat the halo effect of the incoming gray. I have better things to do with my time and money. I get compliments from both men and women and my DH loves it. That's good enough for me .

Joan Baez is my role model for going gray.

It's certainly a personal decision. Do what makes you feel good.
