[EyelinerQueen]

I shaved my head and started my grey journey.

I was originally darkest brown but had bleached it and dyed it pillarbox red in an attempt to hide my greys. The bleach destroyed my hair so I decided to go big or go home and reached for DP's Wahl clippers.

This is my totally natural hair now and I bloody love it .

To anyone dithering about going grey I say a heartfelt DO IT!!

Wow ! You look great... I wish I was brave enough to do it :)

If I had your bone structure I would do it

However, I would more resemble Nanny McPhee as it's really ageing on me.

Oh my word! I have never been so jealous in my life! I would love to have the balls to do that! Well done for being so brave!

It looks lovely

I had mine cut short and grew mine out years ago.
It looked NOTHING like yours.
It didn't suit at all and I've been blonde ever since.
That's looks fab.
But not everyone's hair looks that good when they let the grey appear!

Wow it actually suits you. I love that cut but wouldn't be able to carry it off

Your hair looks amazing!!

That looks beautiful. Sadly my hair would be a frizzy puffball of doom if I had that cut. Although it would be at least as grey...

you look really great

wow looks fab

Wow it looks fantastic! Looks like you have done a cool dye effect on purpose.

When did you start to go grey OP? I found my first grey hair at age 22. I keep my hair highlighted and lowlighted now but I would say I was about 10% grey now, 15 years on.

Thanks everyone .

Spy I think I got my first white hairs at about 23/24. I'm 34 now and as you can see about 75%? grey. I had to do a full dye every 4 weeks and a root touch up in between just to stay on top of it. It was so expensive and a total PITA.

Now I use a purple shampoo and a toning conditioner. Much easier .

Gorgeous! You have definitely done the right thing.

Wow, so you went grey quick. Well it looks lovely and those purple shampoos and conditioners get a good result.

I remember your thread a while ago. Jeez it's beautiful!! I love it! I wish I had more grey and I'd do the full thing.

I love it, I'm so jealous!

I have been going grey since my twenties and am now 41. My parting is completely white, as is my hairline. I have been so tempted to get it cut really short and grow it out but I'm scared of looking awful and much older.

I have a professional, client facing job and just daren't!

You look beautiful OP.

I have a professional, client facing job and (shock, horror) a curly grey/white bob. I'm often asked about it in a very admiring way. Go for it Megan.

EyelinerQueen you look amazing. Brilliant hair.

It's not the grey that scares me so much soup, it's the going too short first. It really doesn't suit me.

Your hair looks amazing and it really suits you. I had mine cut recently to try and go grey gracefully but the back is still very dark, the front is white and there's lots of dye lurking around the sides!! Looks a real mess.... Oh well, it'll grow

EQ, it helps that you have great bone structure and what looks like (from that angle) a fab face. Your hair looks ace.

Megan I started my grey journey with a French crop. Not as scary as shaving it all off!

You look beautiful. How amazing is your natural hair? It really isn't ageing in the slightest.

Right that's it I'm fed up of touching my roots every two weeks- I'm going for it too.

Thanks for the inspiration x

Looks amazing op. I have 5cm if grey roots at the moment, longest I,ve gone without dying my hair. Am naturally curly, prob less than 50% grey with naturally dark brown to black hair but want my hair to look like St Vincent. I expect hers is dyed to get a more even look.
