If you are grey, what age did you decide to go for it ?

?

About 35

About 45. Completely there now I’m 50.

49 or 50

Just never bothered with hair dye. Started greying in my early 40’s. As a doctor, being grey haired gave me more credibility with patients!
I’m now in my 60’s and my hair is totally silver. I like it better than my old flat brown, actually- it catches the light and goes with any colour of clothing.

I'm 40 and going grey now. I won't be dying it.

Stopped dyeing my hair at 48. Am now 50 and so thankful that I haven’t got to bother with roots during lockdown!

I’m 38 and beginning to get the odd grey here and there. I’m planning to just leave it.

I started going grey at 19, and im in my 40s now. Very gradual and I still have a lot of brown hair. I get highlights so it all sort of blends. I would rather be completely grey to be honest.

Did not dye it for 4 months and then had a mega short cut with most of the hair shaved off.

I'm 43 and greying around sides of my face/ears. Haven't dyed and I'm hoping not to at all. Quite like the idea of grey at the moment! Whether it will last or not, we'll see.

33. Just left it now x

I got my first greys at 25 - decided to ditch the blonde dye 5 years ago at 49 and I now have a glorious silver fox head of hair that strangers assume I pay a fortune at the hairdresser for 😃

First greys in my late teens. Coloured till I was about 35 I think. Now 42.

Never dyed it after stoping highlighting it at 30. Now 40 noticeably silvery and it’s quite nice. Motivation I dislike notably box dyed hair and roots coming through and I have fast growing hair so couldn’t ever afford to have it done regular my enough to look good!

I grew out the dye in my mid 40s with my hairdresser's help - it never looked terrible thankfully. My hair grows quickly so I am glad I longer have to worry about doing the roots every three weeks. My natural colour was very dark.

47. Now 52 and it's salt and pepper with white streaks at the front but still all dark at the back. And long..and in severe need of a good trim! I got fed up of roots reappearing within a couple of weeks and also the itch/burn of the dye (suspect I was becoming allergic)

Occasionally I have a wobble and consider dying it, but I won't.. the freedom from roots plus healthier hair, is worth it! (and anyway I'm a bit of an aged hippy to look at so it sort of suits me!)

47 - 5 years ago. I love my hair undyed - looks much better and condition is fab.

I grew mine out when I was about 38, I think. It took several years before all the dye was gone. It looked worst for the first few months where you have a really clear line on top of your head. As it got longer the line was less clear and it looked better. I think a lot of people who start growing it out and then go back to dyeing never get past the first terrible looking months.

I think on reflection I could have kept dyeing my hair for a few more years. I felt I was a bit young to have grey hair when it was all grown out but I wasn't prepared to start dyeing again and have to go through the whole process again. Now I am in my mid-forties, I feel my grey hair suits me better.

Mine has been greying since I was a teenager, and is now a fabulous silver, after many many years of colouring it.... I love it...
Although, as I’m growing old disgracefully, these days it’s usually pink or turquoise.

51. Got tired of keeping up with it - and the roots were white looking. I stopped dyeing it in about Feb and then went to hairdressers at beginning of summer holidays and just had a pixie cut. It was brilliant - almost all white by then.

Best thing I ever did.

I'm 47 and tempted from now.........usually just use a box dye for roots and it looks very natural I'm told but it is very freeing to not do it. Been 2 months now.

2 weeks after my 40th birthday, it’s been nearly 2 years now and I love my hair.

34 and considering it!

I'm 41 and I've never dyed my hair, just couldn't be bothered with the faff or the expense.

32, stopped getting highlights done. 35 now.
