2. I'm maybe 15-20% gray...I just let it be.
I figure that if I start putting stuff in it, my hair will fall out. I'd rather be gray than bald. :-)

15. My boyfriend is almost all grey and he's 40.
And he picks out the most awful shade of dark brown he can find to cover it up if I am not there to help him pick the right hair color.

9. This is weird, but I started getting lots of sporadic Grey hairs
about 6 years ago, and they're almost all gone now. I didn't do a thing. I'd say they are about 10% of what they were 6 years ago. How weird is that?

Regardless, my hair is sandy blonde so they're hard to see. I'm not too worried about it.

12. An old boss had a head full of grey hair.
He said he had one for for every time his children were bad.

Does that mean I have bairn I don't know about?

13. I've had grey hair since I was 21 - didn't bother me a bit.
especially when my brothers started going bald at 25.

sometimes certain people look really good with gray hair.

17. Both of my grandmothers had hair that turned to white
I am wondering if I will be a grey, yellow, white, or blue haired little old lady.

18. Started going gray when I was 25
By the time I was 40, it was about half gray. Finally started coloring it, and I'm really happy with it. Especially since no one-wants to hire a baby-faced, gray-haired, 40-something model, but they will hire a baby-faced, brunette, 40-something model.

Peace,
Bella
