Me.
I was going grey, but dyed it in a moment of folly/boredom when I came across a packet of henna during lockdown in 2020. Carried on, because you kind of have to once your roots start showing too much. Got balayage in June 2021 and since then, nothing. I have decided to consider the grey/white streaks just as streaks.
Going to get a few inches chopped off next Friday, which will get rid of some of the red, so I'll look less like the secret lovechild of a badger and a fox. It's the contrast between the dyed and the rest that bugs me the most.
I wear it tied up all the time and can't see most of the silver streaks, so they don't bother me. But I'm very low maintenance, have never worn make up, and this follows on from that. Dyeing it is a faff, most dyes are pretty toxic, and I don't want to spend time/money on disguising my hair colour.
I find it deeply annoying, although I understand the evolutionary reasons for it, that men can go grey, white, bald or whatever while women are under such pressure to "look young".
However, rejecting social diktats is sometimes hard, so none of that stops me wondering now and then how other people see it or sometimes mourning the lovely reddish/blondish/chestnut curls I had when I was younger.
I am the age I am, though, with scars, wrinkles and grey hairs from what life has flung at me; my skin tone has changed, faking my hair colour isn't working for me - and so for now I'm going with the grey.
