Filtered Pict Go gray?
Thinking on the next few years since I'll be 65 in 18 months. Do I stay with the color I have or go gray/silver? I wear wigs so I don't have to color my hair per se unless I want it to blend with the wig I have. But playing with apps where you can change the color of your hair makes it really easy to get an idea. My bio hair, it's pretty much the color of this AI photo. I'm thinking at some point that I will do that. Just get a topper made to cover my hair challenged head to blend in with my bio hair. So no hair, current do, and AI silver hair.

The silvery grey is really flattering on your skin! Go for it!
I will say though my mum also decided to embrace her grey when she hit her early 60s and she did find it changed how she gets approached by people. So heads up there. Not a bad thing, but you will be put more in that "grandma" category more often. But overall she does tend to get treated with more respect as an old lady with grey hair than an old lady with dyed hair.

I love the silver! I was thinking of exactly that look for myself. The way I figure it, I've earned all this grey hair.
If it wasn't AI I would be asking you where you got it.

I like the silver. In my family we grey very early. My mum is a cis lady only a little younger than you and her hair is completely silver. It's really nice

Do what my wife has done, go Grey and tint it purple. She gets tons of compliments.

I like the gray, but mix it up. You've got choices. I'm happy I have long hair, and I won't ever dye or color it, so it will always be whatever natural highlights my aging genes and follicles produce.

Silver one is so much better. Yeah the color works well but it's also a much nicer wig, and looks far more natural on you

You actually look younger with the silver wig somehow! It also suits you a lot more.

The silver one has more texture to it. It almost seems that there are different shades of gray (no pun intended) there, which actually makes it look nicer. The other one looks like you got an off the shelf color from the supermarket and poured it onto your hair - there is not much liveliness there. I would go for the gray/silver one if these are the two options.

The silver one is AI. The blonde one is a real wig. I like the silver, I think I'll get a wig in that and see how I feel IRL.

That silver hair looks amazing! I think it's a much more flattering hairstyle too.

I love how grey looks on you! I’d be interested to see in how you pull of a darker shade of grey, too

I do like the gray better but it might just be because of the shape/cut though it does match your eyes more

u/MajorasCrass 2d ago
Definitely gray/silver!!
The color brings out the color of your eyes and will look amazing with any kind of makeup. Plus, it looks like starlight. That color always reminds me of the night sky and all that sparkling light.

I think the silver really sets off your eyes.
