When I was about 31. Okay, but seriously, I am one of the only women I know in my age group with as much grey hair as I have, and I did let it go for about 2 years. I liked it. I have nice-ish hair and people tend to compliment me on my hair anyhow, but I got a surprising lot of compliments on the color when it was natural. I enjoyed having zero maintenance hair color after dying my hair since the age of 13 and I was surprised to see how dark and full of red it is, I never really knew that. I color my hair again now, but I look forward to letting it go grey once it’s more than 50%.

My wife started coloring her hair when she was near 33.
I convinced he to stop when she was 50. When her hair grew without artificial coloring, everyone complimented her on how beautiful it was. (Several shades of grey and white.) And the bonus: her uncolored hair is much softer.

Where I live an incredible amount of women let their hair go grey. I really think if a lot of women around you are doing it, it makes it easier. It’s like a snowball.

Most places I’ve lived most women dye their hair into their 70’s.

I think, if you’re inclined to try it, go ahead. Why not? You can always dye your hair again. You can dye your hair to match your roots and speed the process.

I’ve colored my hair for about five years now, dyeing my natural dishwater blonde with henna to make it a deep auburn.

I’m thirty now, and earlier this year I it grow a bit to check for greys.

Nothing so far. I’ll look again in another five years or so.

I didn’t really answer about myself. I’m 48, and although I’m still brunette from a not too far distance, the greys are creeping in more and more. I dye my hair, but can get away with quite a bit of grow out, so it isn’t very demanding or tedious if I keep the color close to my own. I can’t imagine letting my hair go grey before age 60. It would age me for sure, and my husband still has black, wavy, thick hair. Just two days ago we were sitting on a bench and a woman next to me said, “look how gorgeous his hair is.” My grandmother used to reach out and touch his hair. It’s not only because of him, it’s partly my own vanity even without him, and how I believe I will be perceived. Plus, in my opinion having young hair means I can be lazier about how I dress and if I wear make-up.

@Seek In my early-mid 30’s I stopped changing my hair color thinking that I would take advantage of not having greys yet.

Meh. I already have chronic young-face. When I’m blonde I look like a child.

I have very grey hair. I’m in my late 40s. I used to have dark brown hair. I dye the greys blonde so it looks like highlights against the darker hair which doesn’t take the blonde dye. I will continue doing this – have no plans to stop. I will have less and less brown and more blonde as I get greyer and greyer…

I’ve never dyed my hair, and never will. It’s been going grey since I was 19. My hair is the colour it is, and I have never been comfortable with the idea that I should want to hide that.

I love it when women are not afraid to leave a little grey especially when they have taken care of themselves and still have young features. I’m starting to get a little myself and find it odd that ladies are paying closer attention seemingly because if it.

The gray started to make an appearance ~10 years ago and has never been covered up. Spending the time and money to do so just doesn’t hold any interest.

Ahh-ah, we fade to 50 shades of grey…one man on a lonely platform, doo-do diddy-do-doo…

My hair has naturally turned from red to blond with age. I like it, it softens my features. I tried dying my hair red, but it looked fake, I could not get my natural colour back.

When I realized healthy looking white hair would look just as good on me as black hair. It takes a little more work to get it to healthy status because as we age the hair isn’t as smooth, but with good care and taking vitamins, your hair can get its luster back.
