What do you think of gray hair on a woman under 50?

I'm 46 years young & I've decided to let my hair go gray. I started getting gray hair in my late 30's so I started coloring it. I had fun with different shades but soon tired of it. Of course I let it go when I was pregnant with my two kiddos. About a year or so ago my husband mentioned that it would look neat if I let the gray grow in & stop coloring my hair. I was tired of my hair & wanted something different so I let it go. I now have quite a bit of gray in my otherwise brown hair. I haven't received too many comments good or bad about it but I live in a town where it seems all women dye their hair. I kind of stand out! I look younger than my age so the silver in my hair might look out of place. What do you think? Have any of you young gals out there decided enough is enough?

I don't really judge people most especially women with gray hairs...I mean, that's normal pal. According to them (news, scientific reasons etc.) there are some people who experiences growing gray hairs earlier than expected. So, it's not a big deal pal. Worry less okay?. That doesn't mean you're too old because you already have plenty of gray hairs...

I am 30 and for me personally I will dye my hair until the day I die! LOL My mom has has grey hair though for as long as I can remember, but it's ok for her because she got the real soft white type of grey hair.

Everybody is different! It's quite okay to color your hair - I just got tired of it. Who knows, maybe I'll go back to dying my hair someday. Some white/gray hair is absolutely stunning.

I don't like grey hair "downstairs" as it makes "it" look old. I asked my wife to shave it all off and now it feels lovely.
