I have salt and pepper hair with a blend of pure white and silver combined. I love the color. Most folks I know are either just gray. Now I had an aunt who had pure white hair in her mid 30's on. It was so shiny and all. Now my mom, who was her sister, ended up with mostly gray hair mixed in with her dark brown hair. All of my sisters have gray hair. I'm the only one bless with salt and pepper hair.
