When I was in elementary school, the secretary had the most beautiful premature gray hair. She was absolutely gorgeous...inside and out. Loved her! After knowing her, I always hoped that I would have premature gray hair. Guess what...my BROTHER got the premature gray in his 20's. He tried dying his hair once after he overheard one of his elementary aged son's friends asking if that was his grandfather. He didn't like it dyed, so he let it go back gray and just tells people he was 10 years older than he actually is so they think he looks really good for his age. LOL
I am 46 and starting to get a few gray hairs. FINALLY!!! Since I have blonde hair, I just call those platinum blonde. My hair is also long (near my knees). I think gray, silver or white hair is beautiful and will be very happy to let mine go natural. At least the gray has a little more body to it than my blonde does which is straight and fine.
