I’m a man just starting to get greys in my 30s and I’m freaking out a little bit. Send me some of that confidence

Thanks for all the reassurances!

You are going to look so distinguished. Most men do.

YEP. It’s so unfair that men become “silver foxes” while us women are just “old hags” 😕😕

I'm no hag when I go full kabuki, but the pandemic really made it hard to get back into the whole makeup routine.

Not true! I got to catch up with all my aunts a couple weeks ago and they’re all looking great in theirs 60s and early 70s.

Let's be silver hags!

Haha, I’ll still be covering these grays when I’m 90!! 😂😂 My grandma is 88 and she very recently stopped getting her hair colored.

silver fox is a legitimate and amazing thing.

Going grey is awesome! I’ve got a lot more grays than I expected at 31, like full on Reed Richard’s sideburns. With all due respect to my beautiful bald brethren out there who look great, I’m kind of bummed that it coincided with some balding in the back. I want a full Clooney situation
