Women dying their hair grey

Or ‘silver’

What’s this about? Most probably didn’t get the look they wanted. Why dye hair to colour which would be your natural colour in your 40s and above?

I'm guessing it's because they want to? Maybe they didn't get your memo about what you think looks nice?

I don't get the whole 'grey ages you' thing. What's wrong with looking your age? Why be desperate for people to think you're younger than you are?

I can understand people doing it when their hair is going grey and they don’t want to dye it and don’t want the badger look.

I really don’t understand the trend that was around a year or so ago where some young women were dyeing their hair grey. Why would anyone want to be grey when young?

Because it can be a stunning colour. It's just a colour. There is no good or bad about it

Not a follower of the going natural route as I think grey hair really ages you

Completely disagree

Nothing more aging than overly dyed hair

Surely the reason people think grey looks bad and aging is because it is a natural thing tha happens to older people and we associate aging with all things bad - from evil pensioners stealing our houses to death

If aging was seen more positive I strongly suspect that dying your hair grey would be seen as attractive

So do I, but that woman who always posts a picture of herself with long grey hair will be along in a minute to tell us we're wrong.

Why is dying your hair grey any different to dying it another colour? You either accept your natural colour or you choose to dye it - it's no more natural to have brown hair with highlights in than to dye it grey.
