Should I dye my regrown hair or embrace the grey?

I lost all my hair recently due to meds. I used to dye my hair to cover the grey, but haven't dyed it yet since it grew back. I've played with one of those apps to see what it would look like if I went back to my pre-grey natural colour.
What do you think? Dye or stay gray?

Both colours look lovely. Maybe think about the upkeep of the colour - do you really want the regular maintenance?

I agree they both look lovely. I really like grey hair like yours and think it looks really stylish, but the other colour suits you too, so go with what you prefer and are happy with.

They both look lovely
but I’m all for embracing the grey

I think embracing the grey is great, but what makes the difference is the haircut.

For example my MIL has white hair but has had the same hair style for 40+ years.

I prefer the dyed one but either is OK.

Much the same with any colour hair

Your hair is a beautiful shade of grey. I say embrace it!

Stay grey! You seem to have a good grey colour and you’ll only have to do it at some point!

Embrace the grey! Get some purple shampoo to really enhance the silver. It looks fab.

I enlarged the image and slid it from side to side on my screen to see one colour at a time. The grey/white gives you more contrast so I'd stick with that. But agree to think about hair styles and make-up, if you wear any. You can always colour it again if you change your mind. I'd find the faff of growing it out again enough to make me stick with the natural grey though.

Embrace the grey! It's very freeing... and you can spend the money you save on more really good haircuts.
