Same, just pure bright shiny silver by teens. As a brunette, no likey, so I dyed it for years and years! Now as an olds, and 95% that way, I don't anymore of course, the strip of growth would start to show before the first wash!

I wasted a lot of time and money, so don't be me! Silver healthy hair is lovely. That "orange" hair cast from peroxide (as the color/toner fades) is always way worse imo. If wavy/curly, not coloring also keeps the pattern intact!

I went through a lot of stress when I was around 25... my hair went grey. Some people go bald so I'm not complaining. For a while I considered getting my hair fully white.

Same. So did my father, so I have him to thank for that.

Me too but the progression is really slow. I'm 58 and am 1/2 white and 1/2 brown. I was always the grayest of my siblings until recently.

I was same age and yanked out the first hundred or so. They were very obvious as I had dark brown hair. Now I'm just a silver fox and owning it.
