I have a fascination for gray hair especially on men. I wonder if I'm going to like it so much when it happens to me!

Very refreshing to see acceptance of age, and what comes with it.

I don't know how I feel about gray. It looks really good on some but super weird on others. I have a feeling I would look crazy with it lol. I have some time before that happens I guess :P

I will wait to go gray when the majority of it is gray. I only have a few random grays so I don't have to dye it yet thankfully but probably will soon.

I am allergic to hair color so I have no choice but to go gray. I hope I can rock it like these ladies do!

It's refreshing to see celebrities that embrace their age instead of trying (too hard) to stay young forever. When I grow older I want hair like Helen Mirren's!
