Thanks

Salt and pepper hair is very sexy, in my opinion. I can understand the desire to color it though. To each their own. I've never been one to think a heavily made-up look is attractive though or that Botox should even be considered. Some of those filler/surgical procedures scare me and they seem to make the person who got them look worse, not better.

Definitely!
I love long grey hair. I also like aged faces with smile wrinkles and crow's-feet! So beautiful, a life story written on skin.
I'm looking forward to growing old.

And natural is pretty as well. I'm not wearing make up everyday.

The older I have gotten the more secure and confident in myself I have become, and my "go fuck yourselves if you don't like it" attitude has won out over what society thinks I should look like.

I come from a long line of women whose mantra was "you don't go out in public unless you're made-up and dressed properly" which can really mess with a young girls head.

When I go grey (52 and still mostly brown), I will go grey...I am not going to do my roots, and worry about looking younger than I am. **my personal style, not judging anyone else**

As far as make-up goes, I wear what I wear because I FEEL good in a bit of eye make-up...my Kasey would rather I didn't wear any, but it's my face and I'll do as I please.

I think everyone should do what makes them feel good, because therein is the key to feeling your confident best. IMO lol

I agree that it depends in your skin tone and how it plays against the gray. I personally don't have the coloring for it, it washes me out. Others look better with gray. I think there is a huge difference between buying into social standards for beauty and truly shinning your most beautiful self. Taking care of our bodies and expressing our vision of beauty is fun and speaks of self love and self respect. In my mind buying into social norms about beauty comes form a place inside ourselves where we believe we are not good enough being who we are. That we must make ourselves easier to like or love. The motivation comes from a sense of lacking. Owning our own style and vision of beauty comes from a place of self empowerment.

There are natural ways to color your hair, that improve your hairs health. You can get blond with Cassia, brunette and black mixing Henna and Indigo and beautiful shades of red and Auburn with Henna. There is an art and procedure to mixing the herbs to get the color you want, this website is full of info and sells really good quality products. www.mehandi.com

Natural dyes don't lighten hair so going over gray give you lots of choices. I love the Raven black you can get with mixing Indigo with Henna, it's stunning and there is no chemical yucky-ness to deal with.

I have naturally brown hair (i don't like it) and I dye it red every... 2 weeks. I can't stand the brown sneaking in, so i can't imagine what i'm gonna do when my hair goes gray.

Reading here reminded me of something I wish to share ... just a lil info tidbit

If one does not have the money to buy CoCo Mademoiselle, I know some places give free samples at perfume counters. You have to ask for them. They come in little tin packets and contain enough to use several times.

I don't wear it but have an ex who does.
