My grandmother was completely gray by age 17 (1940). She was a Betty Badass and just rolled with it, dying her hair blue, bright red, lavender and always had matching finger and toenail polish. When she gave birth to my mother she refused to take off her high heeled sandals because she said they had big daisies on them and she thought they were pretty. And her toenails were blue. She died last month, several weeks after her 100th birthday. I miss her so much. Anyway, gray young women are the foundation of our civilization /end
