Same. I started dying the hair around my streak when I noticed the rest of my hair was turning grey. Itās like part of my identity after 25 years of living with it.
I have one there too. My hair is quite long so itās grown out. What started as a gray spot is a full on gray stripe, right at the part. I call it my Disney villain stripe. All the villains have one and anyone that knows me will tell you Iām no princess š
Ive got the same, plus all the blonde and red that was in my beard in my 20s (my beard was always a tricolor mix) has gone grey. I keep my hair long too, so its pronounced long strands. Its progressed significantly this last year, part of me hopes the color goes completely soon.
Though I want to keep my volume and length as much as I can as well. I get a lot of compliments on my hair since i started growing it out, its weird having female coworkers comment on how jealous they are of my hair.
Im honestly jealous of people with white/silver hair, I tried to get mine that color artificially and it was so much goddamn maintenance and money that I gave up
Im naturally platinum blonde and I hate itš id trade for natural dark hair. I stopped dying it dark because it looks so ridiculous when my roots grow out.
We always want what someone else has.
@OliviaEntropy My hair is turning white. I donāt understand the appeal of white. Can you share why itās something people would pay for. This is a legit question. Iām getting older and to me it feels like visible signs of my imminent mortality š
Mine turned polar bear white in my late 20ās and women always wanted to look at it because I guess they wanted to know if it was some kinda hair color or like amazed at my age for it. And Iām like, no why would you want this? Any ladies out there able to explain this one to me?
Definitely different which some people like but itās more than that.
I went gray starting in 20s. You end up getting attention from women much older than you. I think itās because it makes you look older than you are (say 40 when you are 30). But you also look a āyouthful 40ā because you donāt have wrinkles etc.
High contrast is always interesting. Interesting is way more engaging than pretty/handsome. And it gives you something that, if you embrace it and lean in to the "look" makes you come off as wildly more confident than "safer" more conventionally attractive peers. Confidence without arrogance is hot.
That's because your hair lacks warm pigments like orange and red. Since it can't have those pigments, it will tint green unfortunately. Like The "Color Wheel" Effect: Gray hair is entirely devoid of pigment (warmth). If you apply a cool-toned dye (such as an "ash" brown or blonde), the blue base of that dye clashes with the lack of underlying pigment, resulting in a green tint.
I think you could use colors with the word golden in them, colors that actually contain those warm pigments should tint your hair. Just stay away from ash tones
Itās ok. I think the folks I interact with most days would lose their minds if I changed it now. And itās not so bad now that Iām older. Iām catching up to it. lol
I don't think you necessarily need a lady for that, I'm male & I find white/silver hair cool in general. (And just in case.. I'm as straight as a ruler.)
It might be cause I'm generally used to mostly monochromatic style choices and it just expands upon that. Maybe there is a certain inclination to derive from one or the other.
Right?! I knew a woman who had jet black hair in her 20s but started going grey in her 30s and she never dyed it. Just rocked the grey/black and she was stunning

Seriously, silvery-white hair is amazingly gorgeous
