Yeah, I was fine with the greys. It's the balding I don't like. I finally gave up on it and started shaving. I'm not really into it but I'll take bald over balding any day.

My husband had such beautiful thick wavy blonde hair. It looked like gold. I am rather hyperbolic and obsessive with him so I was comparing him to the god Apollo. We've been married 25 years and the last 5 years he has been slowly losing his hair. Before that the bright blonde slowly changed to light brown. I encouraged him to grow a beard and it came in salt and peppery and I have to admit it's very sexy. He is not interested in any artificial coloring and I find the salt and pepper on the sides sexy as well. The base color is still getting darker as time goes on. I don't understand why this happens

I love my tinsel!

I have 3 older brothers. All of them went bald years ago comparatively to me.

I let mine go during Covid and love it. I had been coloring every 3-4 weeks for 20 years. I put some work in initially , bleaching and toning because the ends were so drastically dark but after that I just tone it, or play with fun colors.

I've started doing the powdered collagen in my coffee, and it's helped with the thinning. It's still a little thinner right in front, but it's getting better.

I find a gloss you can apply to your hair at Sally's. It comes in a bottle, and you reapply every 4-6 weeks. If I can remember the name of it, I'll come back and respond to you again, or message you. But when I told the lady at Sally's that I just wanted a gloss coating, no color, she knew exactly what to grab for me. It made it shinier and helped control the frizz.

Talk with your hairdresser, if you don't have one? Ask someone whose hair you love who theirs. Also, make sure you are getting enough proteins in your diet. Good luck, and I wish the hair fairy to bless you.

[-]

yerederetaliria@reddit

I just want the shine in my hair to come back. There's some more pronounced gray at the sides and I've seen my husband play with them smiling. I think the lack of shine is because there are hidden grays elsewhere. That's why I color my hair. I've always had black hair and my husband loves it.

[-]

solstice105@reddit

I found a clear gloss at Sally's. If I can figure out what the name of it is, I'll message you. But I just went to Sally's and explained what I wanted. No color, just a gloss for shine. The lady knew exactly what to grab for me.

[-]

Dog_is_my_co-pilot1@reddit

I’ve never tried a diffuser. I’ve got some curly hair lol it’s moody.

I had been dyeing my hair for about 30 years, thanks to premature grays. Spending lots of money for it to look good for about 2 weeks, then the roots would show and back to the salon I went. My husband kept telling me to let it go, but I wasn’t ready. Then I lost my hair during chemo and it was so nice not to do anything! No cutting, dyeing, styling…nothing except put on a hat. When it came back, I decided that I was done with the coloring and continued with the gray.

IKnowAllSeven@reddit

Omg this is my eternal struggle!

I don’t want the gray, makes me feel old.

But also the six week hair appointments are a slog, and expensive (the at home coloring kits never go well for me, and my hair is black so grays come in fast and obvious)

I look great with bed head, thankfully.

I’m in Colorado so I totally get the fleece thing.

Being blonde I’ve never had noticeable eyebrows.

Yes! My (47f) hair is skipping over gray and going right from dark brown to white, so I have been leaning into it with long white box braids, while adding in some gray / brown / black streaks. I want to look like a wizard someday. I’ve always loved gray / silver hair and have been looking forward to this part of aging for a while.

It took two painful years to grow out - and so glad I did it.

I embraced my strands of grey hair three years ago. Dying my hair is a commitment that I do not accept.

hippieinthehills@reddit

My hair is about 75% grey and 25% red-brown. No plans to dye it, ever.

I am not intending to fool anyone. Everyone knows my fingernails aren't naturally pink. I assume they know a mid 50s woman with full brown hair is dying it.

I also remove Random hairs that pop out from my upper lip and chin. I assume no one leaves those there because it's a normal part of aging. I see covering the gray exactly the same as plucking the 1"white hair which is suddenly popping out of my chin.

[-]

PicklesAndCoorslight@reddit (OP)

True, not trying to insult folks that dye their hair, it's just that I never was one to go to the salon and don't think I'd have the energy to upkeep it.

Yup. I do the same. I hate how my hair looks when my roots begin to show. But I also know a lot of people who gray looks great on, including my almost 90 year old mom! She had dark brown hair, and was salt and pepper for a while, but now is mostly gray. She has never colored her hair, and its suits her.

I accepted my greys a long time ago. Have friends who dye their hair. I tell people it is my badge of honor. The greys in my hair and beard show I survived a sh!t storm to get where I am today.

If you can pull it off, actually dying your whole hair white is a thing that the kids do now. It actually looks really good. Rather than having a patch that says "getting old", having a deliberate whole head of healthy white hair says "statement". And it sort of looks the opposite of old.

Google "people with dyed white hair" and see how good it can look!

Mine come in silver.

When I was a teenager I read a poem about the difference between the color grey and the color silver. It waxed poetic about grey being the color of battle ships, ominous storm clouds, and various other things, and silver being the color of beautiful exquisite jewelry and money, among other pretty things. And the closing line said "grey is the color of old ladies hair, silver's the color of mine." I loved that poem, I wish I could find it or remember who wrote it. I've always wished I'd get silver instead of grey and luckily for me I did. I'll never cover my silver strands.

I grew mine out years ago when someone thought I was much younger than I was, and enjoyed the whole 'young person with some gray hair' look for a while, then I cut my hair short and a few years ago realized I looked like my grandmother and started to grow my hair out - it looked horrible so I panicked again and dyed it, but my hair is blindingly white and very dye resistant at my temples so then I looked like an old person trying to look younger which is the worst so I have grown it out.

My wife accepted hers and she’s never looked more beautiful.

To each his own though! I don't judge others who dye, it's just not for me. I think it's because my grandmas dyed their hair until they died, and it did not look great. My mom chose not to dye, and I always thought she looked beautiful and elegant.

I'm just happy i still have most of my hair! Both my dad and I started balding slightly at like 36, and then STOPPED. For the last 15 years I've had a bit of a monk's spot, and the front of my head is slightly thin but it just keeps growing that way.

I’ve been salt/pepper on and off for the past 6-7 years. Some times I go platinum blonde, sometimes I go white with a sling blue or purple tint.

I’m currently growing out platinum - have hard water so it goes yellowy so fast, even with the purple shampoos.

I hate my natural salt/pepper mix as it’s more salt on top and pepper on the bottom.

Going to get some highland see if it helps me stomach it.

I’d love to back to brown, but having to color the roots every four weeks sucks.

Nope fighting grays until the end. My aunt used to say.... "As long as there is dye at the dime store..."

Yes, but I wish mine blended with my natural color as nicely as yours. Mine is so damn dark that the grays out like sore thumbs.

You are beautiful no matter what color your hair is

Dang. How cute.... I had that much gray before 30.

This is me right now. My appointment is today. It doesn't usually get this grown out between appointments! I don't know if I counted the weeks wrong or it started growing in even faster!

NO, I am not going to wear it fully gray. To each their own, but it's a hard no for me.

(It's still wet in the picture. Hopefully people weren't seeing this throughout the day)

Lucky to have any hair at my age

My beautiful wife is just letting her hair do its thing.

Yes, I’m a redhead, we go grey pretty gracefully, I’m not wasting money and time on maintaining my hair colour.

Absolutely love the grey streaks in my hair. People ask me if it cost a lot to have it done, like balayage. Totally free and 100% natural. Just turned 48 (husband is 46) and we look pretty good, I think.

I'm56 and the hair on my head is still black, but my beard has gone mostly white, with patches of some gray. I grew my beard out during COVID and I really liked having it. However, having a white beard immediately made me look like I'm in my 70s. When I would go out to eat with my mom, waiters would think I was her husband. So I shaved my beard off out of vanity (after having it for 2 years). I've decided against growing out my beard again until I actually am the age that my white beard makes me look like.

I have medium/dark brown hair and am slowly getting clear/silvery hairs popping up in the mix. I call it my hair tinsel. Starting to get what I think are streaks at my temples, and my bangs are getting more silver threads.

I used to think, when I was younger, that I'd "dye till I die", but I'm too broke to afford a regular routine at a salon, and too chickenshit to do anything myself. I'd want vibrant colors, like blues and purples and greens.

I'd sooner accept the probe than the gray 😆

When I was 18, my hairline seemed pretty high and I kind of assumed it was going to go early.

When I saw Bruce Willis go from his David Addison and John McClane hair to his shaved look I decided that I would do the same. I told my friends that as soon as it got thin I would shave it off.

Then it still looked about the same at 30, and was still okay at 40. And Minoxodil and other things came out and I didn't go for it, I didn't want to be that vain that I couldn't just accept my hair, or lack.

Just two days ago was the day I decided it was time and I shaved it all off. I wish I had done it sooner. I feel more myself.

I have embraced the bald. Better deserters than turncoats.

I've still only got a few grays, but I have no plan to do anything about them, ever.

Although like someone else said, I've pulled a few because they were sticking out weirdly.

I find I have to pull a number of my greys, not because they're grey, but because they're a completely different texture and they literally stick out. Once enough of them come in together I'll let them be. I don't mind going salt and pepper, since I'm not balding (unlike my brothers 😈).
