Foreign getting to the root of why it seems like everyone's got, an opinion about yours, mine and everyone else's Beauty, writer, Blake Newby and Dr okera K are still here with us, now be honest, show of hands. How many of you felt a little panic when you found your first grade now? I saw one woman in the back. She was like I'm embracing it now, but she was a little. She said first grade, you will never see my gray and let's be clear about that. I have seen it. It has disappeared, it comes back and we Vanquish it again and again so there you have it. My confessions are, I dye my hair, I color my hair and I relax my hair. I am prepared for all the tweets and judgment, but this is who I am and I'm not going to change it. We'Ve all heard for men, gray, hair, looks distinguished. They say you know you look, so you look Sean connery-esque when you're a man and you have gray hair. But when my next guest tried to embrace their gray, they said that they received less than positive reactions and they're part of a growing wave of women who are saying enough. It is time to ditch the die and embrace natural, salt and pepper attracted, but that's not always easy. We know that joining us from Madison New Jersey, Carly Riordan. She was featured in The Wall Street Journal saying that she has gray days over her gray, hair and negative comments can leave her feeling very alone and Aaron Mercedes from Westchester New York who's built a following on Instagram for celebrating her silver curls. Despite being told that she is quote letting herself go, you want to see them here. They are come on out Carly and hear it wow. Oh my God, hello, no Carly nice to you, I'm getting all up in here gorgeous all right see. I would keep my gray if it looked like that Harley yours has come in so silky and like a streak, it's true. How old are you I'm? 33 33? When did you notice your first gray, I remember finding a couple in my late teens around like 19, but I didn't really did your parents gray early, because I hear that that the doctors here is is gray hereditary. How early you gray it can be. It can be so you're 19. You got your first book, I think the one or two, maybe it's just because I'm Type A and highly stressed. Maybe I cause the greatest to come in nice and early, but I didn't really fully embrace them until I was in my mid-20s when it got to the point where I thought I can't keep plucking them there's. No, so you would pluck them out yeah. It was like a couple here or there, but then it turned into this, and I thought if I keep plucking, I'm gon na have a hole. Okay, so that's I loved, you know, myths and truth. So doctor so gray can be hereditary. Distress calls Gray, so stress can cause a lot of things yeah. It can. You know, cause gray hair as well for some folks, but again I think it's really depending it depends. What about if we pluck them does more come because I was always told if you pull a gray out more comes. Is that true? No, that's not true! Well, don't know, that's enough! So um, how old were you when you said? Okay, I'm not going to even try to color this, I'm embrace it. So for a while I was parting, my hair on the side, so the streak was covered and then the streak got Bolder and Bolder and as I was blow drying my hair one day, I thought maybe I'll try a middle part, yeah kind of inspired by Stacy. London, I was like, I think it can be a streak yeah, and so I just went with it and kind of never looked back. That'S amazing, Karen, of course. I I I'm sitting here looking at the things that people have said and uh by no means is this look anything other than greatness. I mean it's being amazing. You dyed your hair, but you start to go gray at 39.. Was it about 39? I started going gray when I was 30. 30 and then I decided like okay, I stopped relaxing it and then I I oh wow. So that's your is that, were you coloring it that I was coloring, you were coloring, it then yeah and then so. This is with color. This is without did your hair gray gently, or did you just like hey girl, I'm here it used. It started growing from the roots and that's when I decided like okay, I'm gon na start, coloring it and then, when I actually decided to let go of the dye and embrace the gray um. I didn't want to do the demarcation line like I was afraid to look like with the black and the white right, and so I was like. Oh, let me find a colorist because my stylist said no, no, you don't do that. Don'T do it! It'S going to damage your hair. I found myself a colorist and um during the consultation she told me like. Oh it's going to take a couple of steps, but then the first time I went in I left with my hair damaged. Really it was breaking um like spaghetti, felt like spaghetti, so the the coloring of the hair damaged your hair. She bleached it and put it the process, the processing, so whatever it was, oh wow. So so because of the day - oh my God, two days after yeah, that was two days in your hair and then I went to my stylist and she just cut it, and then I kept cutting it because it kept breaking wow. So you went from this to this all: abandoning processing your hair, okay, I may not process my hair anymore. Well, no you're going to stick around Carly and Aaron are going to share how they shut down their shamers and the gray-haired gals. As that says, there talk about um how they've embraced it and really supporting other women who have gone great, we'll be right back if you never colored your hair again, if you never got your nails done, if you never wore eyelash extensions, if you never got fillers Or Botox you never wore compression clothing. You never try to accentuate things or hide the parts that were considered flaws. You never covered a sunspot. Do you believe you are worthy of love? If not, where did you learn that welcome guys? That was Dr Amanda Hansen? Also known as the men Embrace their natural beauty, I am back with beauty, writer, Blake Newby and Dr akara K also still with us, is Carly Riordan and she was featured in The Wall Street Journal and Aaron Mercedes, who has a social media following of more than 17 000 people celebrating her silver curls. Thank you all for sticking around for this hour. This is really good. Um Carly in the Wall Street Journal, you called your hair, your gray hair, the differentiator. What does that mean? So I mean I'm kind of your typical cookie cutter. I'M a brunette boring there's like not that much interesting about me and there's I'm a dime a dozen on Instagram and I honestly feel, like my silver hair kind of makes me stand out and it is one of the first things people say to me: maybe negative Or positive of like oh, you don't dye your hair, yeah and it to me I'm like. Oh, this is like finally yeah, they won't forget you yeah and you won't forget. You met me yeah, and I also I just like love it. I don't feel, like you see a lot of people in their like early 30s, who aren't coloring their hair yeah. You see people like purposely dying their hair gray. That was like a big, that's a huge Trend. Yeah! Absolutely I feel like there's just not a lot of examples. Of of what naturally gray hair looks like looks like 33 year old woman, you know Aaron you're, a Latina growing up um your hair was long dark straight and, and you are still some as confident as you are - it still kind of bugs you obviously um. Some of these comments, and even within the family within the culture. So one of the first comments I received when I decided to go gray was like oh, but your husband is younger than you like, you're, not afraid that he's not going to love you because of you know you decided to embrace the gray, and so I was At the point where my hair was short - and I like my confidence, was on the floor because I thought that all that black hair was my superpower, so, like you know, like my hair, was short or embracing gray, and then this type of comments just like I Understand what you're saying I remember when I started uh MSNBC in 2008, I lived in Chicago for 10 years and my hair was always celebrated. People love my short hair. I got to network news and the comments that I received about having short hair people. Um said I was gay, I remember reading it. I read your comments, um, and they said I was lazy. All of these things like this, because Twitter was just starting to take off and suddenly everything about me was identified by my short hair. If you look me up Tamron Hall 2008, I started to grow my hair out to this tragic, looking Bob and there was not me - and I said after a year I was like this. Isn'T me, I love my short short hair and if it makes you feel away, then that's you and I I called Johnny and I was like go back to my short hair, um Harley. I know you got married. What year was it 2020? We had a little backyard. I love that black wedding and you made a big decision not to color your hair for the wedding. You look so beautiful there. Thank you. I did my own hair and makeup like to me. It wasn't a big decision because it that is who I am and like you know hopefully - and I love that, because that's your biggest beauty day and you kept it authentic to who you wanted to do. I love that everyone was like pressuring me to dye my hair and I thought well. I hope my husband knows what he's getting into, because this is who I am like, I'm not showing up on our wedding day as someone else right, I hope he's ready.
Comments
Choconet Hotcoco: I stopped coloring my hair in my early 40s because when my grey came in it's thick and course. The dye dries it out and causes it to break. I also stopped relaxing my hair when I was in my early 50s and went natural and now my hair is streaked with grey and I love it!
MISS FRANCES 137: I grew tired of the coloring process just for it to show up the very next day. So I decided to embrace my natural grey. It's salt and pepper but I am excited about being all grey.
Joanna Wofford: I started seeing gray at 45 and tried to let it come out gray but it only was in the roots and I didn't like how it was coming in ,but now I am proud of my life and I will deal with the gray. Never not a shame of my age. Just hard to get it styled thatnI like while it is graying. Gray is absolutely beautiful.
Jackie: Both ladies hair is BEAUTIFUL. GOD don't make mistakes. I started graying in 8th grade. It's definitely hereditary. I use to get a rinse and also relaxed but now I embrace my 4c natural salt & pepper hair and I couldn't feel more Beautiful.

Carolyn J: I stopped coloring my hair about 3 yrs ago i just got tired of it. I would dye my roots by weeks end i would see new growth, i dont perm completely natural its a relief , dont care what anybody thinks im free
Gerald: They're both beautiful women and their hair matches their personalities. I wish more people, not just women, would embrace their gray hair, but society still frowns upon it; especially for women in the workforce.
Veronica M Warren: I love my grey hair.I was nervous at first but during the pandemic I stop coloring and yes it was a process but I felt I was embracing me. I did get some family members that were not encouraging but I tuned them out. I've been natural for 7yrs. God created.
Michele Hawkins: I stopped coloring my hair in 2022! Embracing the gray and loving it!!!
brooklynforever1990: I know I’m fighting a losing battle against my grey but like Tamron I’m holding on for the meantime.
BeautyInspiredByLove: My silver hair is absolutely beautiful. It's about confidence!!! I'm in my 60s and cut 4 year old locs 4 weeks ago to begin embracing my silver hair. I have a Teeny Weeny afro and love it as my hair grows out. I also change it up with a nice wig every now and again as my silver hair grows out.
Jaquanda Martin: I decided to embrace my hair when my honey said how beautiful my gray hair looks. Im 47 and have more gray than my Mom...lol...I recently got my sisterlocks established and I couldn't be happier ❤️
B Mccoy: I have gotten nothing but compliments for my gray hair and styling
Thea Cartwright: Gray is beautiful...there's a whole movement behind it
The Sooffle: I think gray hair is beautiful❣️I’m glad they embraced it.
Monica Nicole Cable: Gotta love the silvery grey glory & it's so beautiful Glad to see others are embracing and not forsaking or despising. Whether the embrace of grey or not, be bold brave & beautiful Queens
Rainbow Love: At 23 I had a large white patch on the front left side and my hair was jet black. Everytime I dyed it, it would come right back 1-2 days later. It just wouldn't dye. My dad said it was wisdom. Never dyed it again and now my whole head is silver and been this way since 40, I'm 64 and people think I'm in my 40's.
Carolyn williams: When I retired to a new state at 64 yrs old I decided to stop dyeing my hair. My best friend a few yrs older had already stopped and her hair was beautiful. But she warned me that you have to be ready for the way people treat you. I'm African America and have worn my hair natural most of my life( that's a whole other story), with different natural cuts and style. It's more pepper than salt, has always been healthy, and I love the way it looks. I do get a lot of compliments from older women who say they are tired of the perms, but don't have the nerve to go natural. The funny thing is the younger people who compliment my hair but think I'm wearing their styles. Two other things I also notice is that you automatically get treated like you are ancient and the increase in gray hair in your eyebrows, lashes and chin
Marvellous M: I’ve been embracing my greys in the front of my head from my 40s and it’s hereditary in that area of our head. Not dyeing Love Heren’s hair
priya: Why is it that women who color their hair are emboldened to ask those naturally gray why we don’t color your hair? It’s not because I’m lazy and not because I can’t afford it; it’s my choice to be authentically me and be comfortable in my own skin. In the words of my illustrious cousin, you do you, Boo!
Queen Bee: I have no choice in embracing my grey hair. I used to color my hair until I got an allergic reaction. It’s still taking me a minute to love my hair, but I know I will over time. It’s who I am now.
Aziza Lehman: I love your shows they are positive and full of women empowerment
Conscious Anfesia Shapsnikoff: Erin's hair is beautiful. I know two people who started greying in their teens. Their grey hair is a beautiful true steel color just like Erin's.
Irrie Hicks: I got my 1st gray hair in my early 20's I stop relaxing it in my 50's but I dyed my gray & wore a lot of wigs & weaves. I am not ready to show my gray yet. I admire men & women who do because it's beautiful & distinquished..
YesI SaidIt: I ❤ seeing grey and even pure white hair!! I think it’s wonderful ❤ revlon colorsilk even carries a grey boxed dye now. I don’t have grey roots yet, but the few random white hairs I have, I’ve named them Harriet. I say hello to Harriet whenever she appears
Flower Child: I started to love my gray hair a few years ago (before the pandemic started). It was the best thing I’ve ever done regarding my hair. My baby sister and I have matching gray spots. Mine kept growing in one spots, where it’s now very concentrated. Then it started to grow on my hairline. I think mine is so pretty. When it’s curly it looks like I have a lot, but when I straighten my hair I don’t look like I have much. My brother-in-law asked me about why I have gray hair. I was like dude, for one it looks awesome, two you act like women don’t know you have gray just because you’re bald doesn’t mean we don’t’ know. I’m embracing my beautiful curly gray hair, and you should embrace your semi-bald head of gray hair. Be fierce ladies, no matter what you do with the color of your hair.
Manar Cabrera: I love my gray hair. Negative remarks are about the person making them. I love and have extremely short hair.
Alicisa Perkins: I was coloring my hair prior to my cancer diagnosis. Lost all my hair and now it’s growing back very very gray! I sent a picture to a friend so excited to show off my growth and she says it’s cute you just need to dye it! That hurt a little BUT I will not color it ever again!
Peace Freedom: I absolutely love grey hair. I think it’s gorgeous. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll get a beautiful head of grey. It’s crazy how some people never get the things they really love.
LissetteLissie: I love gray hair!! I can't wait! Got some grays...so excited! Yes...I'm a Woman...Hear me roar!!!
Chicopee Girl: It has been at least 2 years since I stopped coloring my hair my twin had been doing it longer than I and she does not relax hers. I had been relaxing and coloring for I don't know how long. But my hair needed a break so I chose to lose the coloring. I didn't realize how assuming people are when they don't know, for example, my younger sister's husband passed unexpectedly and I needed to go and help her. The first assumption was from one of the people that we went to see about the services for my sister's husband now she dyes her hair and she gets it braided. So the guy in talking to us asked me was I my sister's mother. It caught me off guard I know I had a strange look on my face and I said no, she's my sister and of course, the situation turned awkward everyone that day we ran into "assumed" that I was her mother... we are 6 years apart. To say the least the constant assumption got on my nerves. But it didn't change my mind to begin coloring again because my hair doesn't need to be colored anymore. It is silver/gray and looks fine and that is that. You sometimes do run into people that in one way or another show ignorance, we all get there eventually.
stephanie joy: I transitioned six years ago and my natural color grew in calico (very grey on top, silver streak in the front, very brown underneath with blonde streaks throughout). I have long, wavy curls and the various colors define them so much more than any one flat color ever did! (and I don't miss my scalp being red and flaky, and losing hair wherever I rubbed the dye in, not to mention being a slave to that dye bottle every 2 1/2 weeks!). I now get compliments from women every time I wear it down (I swear I'm not exaggerating) and my husband thinks it's hot! Society made grey hair about aging...but it appears to be normal and natural for women to start getting grey hair in their 20s and 30s (I belong to several fb groups and the majority of posts start out saying this was their age). We're the generation that's breaking the taboo for younger women to embrace their natural color no matter what age they are, and to feel beautiful about it...not apologetic! BTW: the global dye industry in 2022 is roughly $34 million...think of all that money in our pockets!
Dianne Dixon - TeXXic: I stopped relaxing my hair at 19. The drama was too much and I was not sure how the chemicals would affect my body. People can say/assume/think whatever. 20+ years later, we are going through the same thing, but amplified by social media. Heren is letting herself go? More like she's giving herself permission to go her own way and be who she is. It takes too much time to live up to other people's expectations. Drop that weight, ladies. We have too much to do and accomplish to be dragged down.
Jean Vance: Love my grey hair!! Just found out tam's blond was a wig!! Bravo so glad you kept it real!!
Lady Willow: I developed a gray patch on my left temple. It came when I started watching my husband pass away. It was almost 20 months of nothing but stress.
S L: I used to follow Carly’s blog. She’s always been down to earth and honest about things. I like that she embraces her gray hair
Shervyse Smiles: I'm learning to embrace my silver hair and let it sparkle in all its glory ☺
Nicole E.: It’s so great to see this.
Dana Sainte: I stopped dyeing my grays this June before turning 47 and it wasn't a big deal because I didn't talk about it. I did my research and decided for myself that it was time. I've noticed my colleagues looking at them but they haven't said anything & neither have I. This is what 47 looks like now ♀️
Jeff Venables: I quit coloring my hair in 2010, the year my mother died of a glioblastoma brain tumor. Think about it-all of those harsh chemicals so close to your brain! She dyed her hair for years, and died at age 70. ~Cathy
Bernadine Reid: I love coloring my hai. I started getting gray hair in High School. My Mom, had salt and pepper hair. After she went through Chemo her hair came back white like snow. My feelings about color is that God created color just for me and colorist for me. My favorite color was Honey Blonde . I've had my hair colored in many shades at different times in my life . I am not ready to embrace gray hair. Maybe when I am 120 Personally for me gray makes me look old.
Evelyn Marte: Omggggg! That my sister from another mom, friend and coworker partner. Go Heren I am so proud of youuuuuuuuuu! I love how you looks….. You are so special and lovely person. You all looks great, beautiful ladies
IMBLESsed2018: Bothe ladies are beautiful! I have one gray hair in my eyebrows .. so I stopped getting it plucked… I embraced that but my gray hair is not as defined as those ladies!! I love it
sonya dakers: I have never dyed my hair in my 57 years of life. I have always loved the look of gray and will never put dye on it
Jackie Benjamin: Grey in my family is hereditary, I use to colour but have stopped 40 plus years now, same time I started cutting it right down. Since the pandemic I have grown my hair, so it's shoulder length and grey.
JamesB02: I stopped ✋ coloring my hair after my dad passed Feb 2021. I was just tired of coloring it and realized it was a very temporary fix. A week after coloring my gray hairs were peeping out again.
E rA: Never say never. My mom rocks her gray hair
Rachel Derenoncourt: My teenage son told me to embrace my gray!!! Hahahaha!!!
Dorothy Adams: Gray hair is absolutely beautiful.
Sharon Whyte: You go girls sport that gray hair like aging like fine wine .
Veronica Thurman: You ladies have beautiful hair! ❤
E. R.: They are so gorgeous. Their gray hair make them more feminine, more mysterious. Now I am lucky because of my father's genes. He had a full black hair up to his mid 50s. I have Chosen to believe it can happen for me too :). At 42 y.o., my entire hair is black except 3 visible gray hair, and usually people think I am 34-36. As a black woman I don't know if going 100% natural/nappy, 80% grandma hair-care products, no relaxing, no unnecessary chemical products for 10 years now has helped. I think that what we eat and our inner life ( peace, joy, gratitude instead of stress and anxiety) also impact our hair and how we age. But if my hair become grey I will keep it like it. Dye is losing money for me. Since I am young I have always seen my hair and my head like a sanctuary.
Omega Thornton: I’m a woman of a particular age and I have a great spot on the right side of my hair it just makes me look so much older for now I going to use a temporary color or permanent dye.
D C: I have never had a desire to color my hair ♀️. I'm 59 & most of my grey is around my edges.
elaine smith: If my hair looked as thick and GORGEOUS as the lady on the left on the front seat, I wouldn't color my hair, either! She looks FANTASTIC!
HRH Jid'dah: Tamron... is... stunning. For some reason I saw Toya Harris from Married to Medicine in her during this clip. Gorgeous women with their grey. I'm inspired.
Tameka Swan: She's like a Lioness with all her beautiful hair just gorgeous I'm 47 I don't have any serious grey hair just a few strings but I won't be dying my hair it's not that serious to me
Linda Tohara: I stopped dying at 50 now 61 my hair is healthy, thick and silver. I see young people dying to look like me………crazy your time will come naturally
Tracy Stokes: Just a question - What would happen if dye of all kinds was confirmed to be 100% cancerous?
Me and My Coworker : Im 33 and my beard is fully committed
Lakisha Arrington: I’m 46 and I put the dye bottle down 13 months ago.. Growing old gracefully..
Katherine Yokers: I’ve had my hair short and long as well as many lengths in between. Short hair is a lot more work than long…imho. 10:05
Deborah Blackshear: Do you Tamron Hall. I am loving ❤ my grey hair and I will not be dying it anymore.
Teresa Calladine: The doctor encouraging us to embrace our natural beauty, is good. But yes I continue to dye my hair. But she went on about Eye lashes extensions Nails , And Botox Fillers ect. Well I don't do any of them and never have and never will. So that's just me.
Monica Ramirez: ….also I love it when others say, Ma’am instead of sexy thing. I AM a lovely lady with my natural mane.
Auntie Neen: Whew…I’m not there yet… I’m with you Tamron.
Sherry Wilcoxson: I enjoy rocking my TWA in gray.
Shantay White: Lol...I'm not going to lie. I don't dye, but I do perm my hair so it can lay down on the sides. But my hair is mine and I wear it with pride. Why would I let any other person decide? People should be free to wear their hair like they want to without other people's judgement and giving the side-eye. I never understood why my hair gave other people license to command or demand conformity so they could then place value on me or be comfortable in what they see. No matter the critique, we should all have the right to just BE in this so-called land of the FREE.
Sandra: Lol I too embraced my gray by coloring it multi colored honey blonde and I say GOOD MORNING GORGEOUS ! #MJB
Nydia R Serrano: My son’s each were born with at least two gray hair.
Hembafan Tilley-Gyado: I've never coloured my hair and started having it in my 20's
Vuyelwa Ncube: I started using henna and my hair loves it
ScallywagSmith: I get senior discounts and I'm not a senior
BrownSuga66: I love gray hair on other people. But can't seem to embrace it on me. I am 56 years old and colored my hair regularly from my mid 30s because I disliked my grays. A little over 2 years ago while battling weeks long bouts of hot flashes I got my hair braided because I couldn't keep a style with all the head sweating. I really liked the braids until the gray started to aggressively show again. I switched to crochet styles to cover my hair and stopped dying it. But this summer I tired of the heat, the hot flashes and the hot crochet hair on my head. Now during the course of nearly 2 years of not coloring my hair, I grew my hair to just past shoulder length all gray except few inches of colored ends. I decide to do braids again and was almost ready to go with the gray. But my gray hair hating hairdresser talked me into coloring again. I did let some time go between color sessions and braiding and try to embrace the gray, but then a coworker asked when did I plan to color again, and I lost my confidence. I really want to try letting go of the color, maybe even try gray braids or crochet. Not sure what to do. I will have to say that stopping the combination of relaxing and coloring my hair constantly has changed my texture from coarse and dry to soft and silky.
Malvora Crawford: Grey is beautiful and all natural we see you and God see you
SC W: I wish my hair would gray like that! Mine only does it around the edges..I hate that!
Nicola Ablett: Love my grey and my love lines I am regulalry asked where i get my hair coloured Be who u r not what western society especaily demands
MIZBJoy Good: When I see platinum white hair it's like seeing a Angel in person, I like salt and pepper some but when my hair went snow white, I was not ready, I have from root to 6in now of grey white and 4 of faded rose gold -leftover from pandemic boredom coloring....I'm not going to dye again (I'm a artist so creative expression is part of my life) or least have no plans but a big birthday is coming....new me, new hair style and color may have to be done. P.s. I've read many articles and health books and lack of Zinc and stress will cause you to grey and that must be true because stressful times my hair got more white
Fe Raynor: I'm not feeling grey at all I use a rinse and although I believe it creates more grey I'm not mentally or emotionally prepared to walk around with grey hair I'm in my 50s but look 30 so not for me my Mother didn't get grey hair until late 60s early 70s and after loosing one of her children. So no grey for now
Bartender: I love it on them but I’m scared I’d look like an old lady well maybe I am but having a new born at 41 I’m just not ready for this stage in life yet. But I’m happy to see that it can look good I’m just worried it would not look good on me at all
Brenda W Brown: I use henna to color my hair. No chemicals.
Nonprofit Utopia: Tamron would look great with grey. She would not look old at all. I picture her looking somewhat like Marvel Comics' Storm.
Teresa Calladine: I am with the presenter I am not willing to be grey , no way However it looks beautiful on the ladies And many others. So God bless them
AlleyKatt*61: I’ve always believed in aging GRAYcefully….. I’ve noticed that when people try to cover their gray, it draws more attention to the age of their faces and necks versus in contrast to the “young” look of your hair……. Just my observation. I’ve always received positive feedback regarding my hair and from young men!!
lovelytt: Im 31 i just got my first 2 gray hairs when i turn 40 im a just let it go gray i never dyed my hair before and plan to keep it that way
Katy Arnold: Heren gray hair is so beautiful!!!! Gray hair is beautiful!!! if you know how to take care of it.
li77: hair dye is bad for your health.I embrace my grey hair and get compliments regularly.
S Jackson: Gray or non-gray, they both are fine.
KurvedbyKade: Yes, you can tell someone that these chemicals will kill them..and they will respond YOLO ALL for vanity the Dr. doesn't seem to know much about gray hair. lol
Simone Wortham: I love my grey hair and I'm 60
Carolyn williams: Funny thing is more men in their 30's on up, have that jet black dye in their hair, eyebrows, and beard. Especially athletes and entertainers in general.
nakuro: People look at me like I'm depressed because I say I like my silvers...
Hgoing Celeb: Mercedes looks like Kim Fields.
Ms. Tameeka Brundidge: I love grey hair
Lorna McPherson: That big grey afro is awesome
Asuncion Llequis: I will shampoo color to cover gray because I am too vulnerable looking so old.
