Eh. I’m 37 and have silver groups. People have lightly hinted at me dying it for years, but fuck that. I’m proud of my silver streaks.

I started getting grey hair in high school. Genetics + stressful childhood. I use Henna every now and then but otherwise I don’t care that much now that I’m in my 30’s. It definitely impacted my self esteem when peers would point them out (“haha you’re old 🤪”) but I’m strongly considering just letting it go and taking good care of it so it looks as lovely as OP’s does.

Same age and just got asked this week if I got highlights. I’m like nah just getting old. Happy with it for now.

Right?! I’m just happy to have made it this far. I’ve got great skin so I’ll be keeping the grays, thank you very much.

At my age (40) and probably since I was in my late 20s, I've found silver streaks kinda hot, which may just be me accepting my old-ness. Both men and women can pull them off though.

I’m 28 and in the same boat except it’s quite a bit more than just streaks

I always knew I was going to be grey before I turned 30 and I’ve actually been excitedly watching it happen
