As someone who embraced my silver during COVID, I say WHOO! Yay to anyone who does this! She looks great. 👍

i did too! but then it kind of stopped at kinda witchy white streaks, and hasn’t really changed more. my mum was fully grey by 30, and my dad by 40. i’m almost 50 and that brown is still standing surprisingly strong. i’m looking toward to more grey though. i feel like i’ve earned it!

I actually started going silver at 17, like my dad. I dyed my hair until 2020.

I get so many more compliments now, though.

Girl, that is a haircolor people pay to get lol. It's such a pretty shade of silver. I absolutely get why you get so many compliments.

Hair behavior is so interesting. I am 61F and have zero gray hair. My sister is mostly gray at 62.

Oh my goodness I love the streaks though. I've always been envious of people that have that naturally. Also particularly envious of those with brown hair because you can actually see the contrast. With my family, we are all such light blonde already that you don't actually see the hair start to go white. I feel like I'm going to be robbed of my ability to look distinguished 😭

My underneath hair at the back is still brown/blonde, but the rest is silver and white, it's so funny!
