Should I just let my hair go grey?
I’m a 48 year old woman. My natural hair colour is (was!) very dark brown, almost black. I never had a grey hair until around about forty when they started appearing at my hairline. I never ever used hair colour in my life as I don’t generally like the look of ‘fake’ colour. Then when I was 43, I had my first highlights, a sort of honey colour with the roots of course coloured my natural colour as a base. It looked really well. I am now considering letting the grey grow out to see how it would look and to give my hair a break from chemical treatments. I would say I am almost white around the hairline but the rest of my hair is still very brown. Normally I look about 33. Yes I’m lucky! I have very young skin and am slim and youthful. I just wonder would this greyness look dreadful. Any advice please?
Grow old gracefully, enjoy it for what it is a new chapter in an ever changing cycle that will bring it’s own rewards with your new mature look.
In my personal opinion You should let yourself go naturally Gray it’s the natural process of a human, but if you feel very unstable dye your hair.

Hair color is the pigmentation of hair follicles due to two types of melanin, eumelanin and pheomelanin. Generally, if more melanin is present, the color of the hair is darker; if less melanin is present, the hair is lighter. Levels of melanin can vary over time causing a person’s hair color to change, and it is possible to have hair follicles of more than one color.
Two types of pigment give hair its color: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Pheomelanin colors hair red. Eumelanin, which has two subtypes of black or brown, determines the darkness of the hair color. A low concentration of brown eumelanin results in blond hair, whereas a higher concentration of brown eumelanin will color the hair brown. High amounts of black eumelanin result in black hair, while low concentrations give gray hair. All humans have some pheomelanin in their hair.
