Any grey hair inspiration? Women in their 30s or 40s

My hair has been greying since I was about 35. It isn’t that grey - mostly just around my face. But since it’s around my face, the demarcation line is tough to live with! As the rest of my hair is very dark brown.

I have box dyed it, highlighted it, all the things over the last five or six years and I have now decided to grow it out and see what it looks like. It’s not frizzy and it’s white, which I quite like.

But I hate the in between stage! And also my friends think it’s ageing and can’t understand why I’m growing it out.

I wonder if anyone can send me any influencers or just photos of real women in their 30s or 40s that look great with grey / white hair. Or even that in between stage (only around the face).

I don’t know what else to do. Blonde highlights didn’t suit me at all, they made me miserable and I constantly wore a hat.

It’s either dye it every 10 days, or give up I think…

Help!
