Ditching the dye and accepting your gray hair usually results in a lot of introspection and hand-wringing. “Have I made the right choice? Will I look older?”, etc.
For years, when I was asked to provide a photo of myself, I never could find one that didn’t have either a family member or a friend in the photo with me. I never took selfies where I was the ONLY person in the frame. Now, I am the Queen of Selfies!
If you are on Instagram, you’ve most likely experienced this – you start posting pix of yourself with gray hair and you get a FLOOD of male followers! I didn’t realize that there is a large subset of men who find gray hair very attractive.
Let’s face it – in our culture, people still equate gray hair with age. If nobody dyed their hair, people would soon see that people of all ages have gray hair.
A lot of people will talk about your hair. Even if you are an extrovert, like me, it can be a little surprising to get so much attention focused on your appearance.
