Love it! I’ve finally given up coloring my hair. I have lots of grays, at 36! Including one big gray chunk in the front. I get lots of compliments on it!❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Melissa.
DeleteA great question! I hope you will. Gray is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dwight.
Deletegray is great
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and commenting.
DeleteI would suggest go for it. I had premature grey hair and after colouring it for a few years, I decided to go grey completely. I love it, can't say about other people who look at me with shocked expression. 😀
ReplyDeleteA lovely quadrille, Arcadia, thanks for joining in. ❤️
Thank you. :)
DeleteA lovely take on the prompt word, Maria. I am waiting for the silver and white underneath to come through in the top hair, so I can wear it with pride!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim.
DeleteI've been all grey for 17 years. I asked my day care friends and they said that they liked it natural. Done. 😁
ReplyDeleteThat's great Susan. Thanks for reading.
DeleteThanks David.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Excellent storytelling here. I am 100% going to dye my hair when it goes gray (in my defense, I work in an industry with a lot of age discrimination) but I admire those who embrace their grays.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and commenting. :)
DeletePersonally I couldn't wait, because I've always loved grey hair. It took a long time, though, because I was blonde (dark hair seems to whiten much sooner).
ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe dark hair seems to whiten soon. Thanks for stopping by.
