For so many years, having gray hair meant that you were old. The times are changing. Less and less women are dyeing their hair and embracing their natural gray or white hair. Guess what? It looks fabulous! There are even accounts popping up on social media to share photos in celebration of going gray, no matter what age you are.
It is normal for people to start getting gray hairs as early as adolescence. Many don’t get grays until their twenties or thirties and often dye their hair until they are “old.” Check out some of the amazing photos of gorgeous women going gray on the Instagram account @grombre. Their account is described as “a radical celebration of the natural phenomenon of gray hair.”

Another gray-haired gal had been coloring her hair for fun since she was 16. When she was only covering grays, it was no longer fun anymore. She decided to go all gray about five years ago and never looked back. She said it feels good to just be herself.

One woman was inspired by the Instagram account so much so that she decided to stop dyeing her hair. She said she has made it over a year without dye thanks to the other ladies who share their photos and stories.

So awesome! My Mom never dyed her hair, my wife never did or does, I never do. I suppose this is at the root of my mocking men whose color is so far off and older women who go rainbow.
Tamara Volbrecht says
this is not a trend its what MILLIONS of people have done who do not want to spend a fortune at a salon sheesh

Breaking new ground… Just like all of their ancestors before them (I don’t think grey hair is a new thing).
Tim Haight says
I even noticed a trend where young women are dying their hair silver. I coworker said she was jealous of my natural grey hair.
Rebekah says
I receive more compliments on my silver and dark brown hair than I did when I was young, surprisingly enough.
My hair is almost white around my hairline around my face, but dark brown in the back.
Sheryl Bryant says
Nope nope nope nope……beautiful but nope
Brooke says
People used to think I was at least 10 years younger than I am. When I decided to let my grey come in, people assumed my aunts and uncles were my siblings. Hence, I am dying my hair again. The upside is that I don’t have to bleach it to use fun colors. With VERY dark, stripping my hair enough to get it to take vibrant colors practically turned it to straw. Now, I can just put the color directly on my hair, as-is, and the grey turns purple, blood red, or whatever other color I put in it.

There is no way for gray. I do not believe “aging gracefully” in this manner to be a virtue but more like resignation. If you can do something to enhance, then do it.
Mimi Milan says
I love it! In many cultures, aging is associated with wisdom. Personally, I celebrate every gray as an example of one more day I’ve made it.
Eileen O'Leary says
I have been calling my gray hair “wisdom white ” for many years now. I couldn’t keep up with coloring it so I let it go and I’m have become empowered by not worrying about what others think.
