how do you feel about going gray?

how do you feel about going gray? August 11, 2009

I love that Jamie Lee Curtis is often gray, doesn't get "work" done & tries to pose unairbrushed is often as possible.

I realized last time I pressed my hair that instead of the one gray hair I thought was a lonely singleton has now spread out all over my head to about 30.

Who woulda thunk it it’d be such an ordeal, but honestly it made me feel kinda old.  I’m 32, a reasonable age for sporadic graying.  I’m also not thinking it’s all going to pot with most people still confusing me for a 23 year old.

Yet in still my first thought was that I would keep dye-ing my hair until I’m like 60 & then I’ll let it all go gray.  It feels like there’s some sort of stigma about a gal my age being gray –or even allowing a few gray hairs to show.

How about you? Are you planning to let your gray hairs hang out?  Cover them over?  When are you going to let yourself go all gray & how do you feel about it?

There’s an interesting article over at Slate Magazine about this issue here.
