My experience going gray has been very positive so far (and I hear that from a lot of other women).

I’m pretty dang good about setting personal boundaries, and I’m addicted to advice columns, so I think that makes me qualified to give you my two cents on how to respond to a gray hair insult.

With people who don't have anything good to say, I just smile brightly and say, “Well, I like it!” and then change the subject.

If you must, get up and leave the room (or get off the phone call, or whatever).  Repeat as necessary until they get the picture.

Anyway, I still hold to the idea that if YOU like your hair, that’s what matters.

Well, you can be nice about it.  Some topics that are off limits with other people are allowed between a couple.  You can have a discussion about it but just remember – it’s your hair, and you get to decide what to do with it.

All of these comments can be said in a nice way.  No need to be aggressive!
