Gray hair is part of wisdom.
now how about tackling the problem of receding hairlines
lol
I’m blonde originally and used to get highlights twice a year. I transitioned to grey hair when I embraced my curly hair. Apparently bleaching is bad for curls, so I reluctantly gave up the highlights. I dreaded having grey hair but it hasn’t been that bad. My hair is more of silverish and honestly almost looks blonde still, so I’ve been pretty happy with it and have no plans to go back.

You know, with all the horrific diseases conditions out there associated with old age such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and dementia, it’s almost offensive to me that great scientific minds are burning the midnight oil hoping to “cure” gray hair.

I’m 80....If that’s my biggest problem...
I earned every gray hair I’ve got. I want to keep ‘em
Why would anybody want to have hair that looked different than what is natural for his age?
My late husband used to say, “It’s okay for my hair to turn gray, as long as it doesn’t turn LOOSE.”
With the blood, sweat and tears it took me to gain these silver strands I will wear them proudly.
A recent study by NYU Grossman School of Medicine has revealed that melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) lose their ability to move between growth compartments in hair follicles as people age, ultimately leading to hair graying. The study focused on cells present in the skin of mice and humans and found that McSCs exhibit remarkable plasticity, which means they can transition between different states of maturity as they move through the various compartments of a hair follicle. However, as hair ages, an increasing number of McSCs become trapped in a stem cell compartment called the hair follicle bulge, where they remain immobile and unable to mature into the transit-amplifying state, leading to hair graying. The study provides a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying hair pigmentation and opens up the possibility of developing treatments to reverse or prevent graying in humans.
So there is someone out there whose job description is mouseplucker?
I like my salt&pepper hair. Well, what there is of it. Mostly bald now, whatever is left is salt&pepper.
I believe it has a lot to do with genetics also. Both my mother and grandmother had brown/red hair and they both died without a gray hair on their heads. I have very little gray and they’re hard to see. I’m 68. I get asked all of the time where I get my hair done. I inherited the hair from my mom, my wrinkles from my dad.
Vanity: Pride is excessive belief in one’s own abilities, that interferes with the individual’s recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

There is a direct correlation between grey hair and cataracts. Cataracts are caused by oxidation and bleaching.
