I'll be 50 this year and don't have a whole lot of gray, yet. My mother has this beautiful white hair, of course that grew in after her Chemo 25 years ago.
I have naturally blond hair, but it has gotten a darker the past few years so a good friend of mine weave's it for me, to "lighten" my life up a little!! With my blond, I don't think the gray shows up a whole lot.

I'm 39 and I tried growing my hair out last year. I started graying at 25 and I'm about 60% gray now, I guess but this did NOT go over well. My mom's friends told her they thought it made me look old! (My DH wisely didn't say a word! ;-) Also, I have light skin and I think all gray can look stunning on a darker skinned person but it just washed me out so I'm back to brown!

Let's see...been coloring my hair for so long, that thankfully I have pictures that tell me what my "real" hair color ought to be :) :).
I have white gray hair over about 80% of my head, but for some reason I feel the need to color about once a month. DH has often told me to let it go, I just haven't come to terms with it. I just turned 51 so who knows...maybe when I'm 55, or 60--see I'm already hedging :)

I use to color my hair. Nine years ago I retired, My company
went to another country, but was very good to me, and let me stay until I was of retirement age. Since then I had some
health problems. When I worry about something, I don't get
ulcer, my hair falls out. I have dark hair, mingle with
gray. and a spot of white in the back of my head. I tried to
keep it all covered, It was to much of a hassle, so I just
let all the gray show. I'm okay with that. My hair is a lot healthier. BTW, I'm 64.
