I agree with everyone here that your color is beautiful! But I understand completely about having to spend time styling it to make it look its best. That's where I'm at too. I'm only about 10% gray right now, and I'm sort of wishing it would come in more dramatically. My grandma had a gorgeous silver streak right in front that framed her face.

Right now I'm just focusing on keeping it healthy and trying out different styles. I of course like it best when blown out straight and sleek or curled into soft waves. But that doesn't happen every day, so I'm trying to find some pretty, casual styles that don't require too much work or heat styling.

Good luck on your journey. There's quite a few of us here who can relate and hopefully provide some support and ideas!

Re comments of others who say someone looks older, would it be too rude to say, "I'd rather look older than dead!"

Bella, you are a beautiful woman. I think that you are strong enough to do what you want. Just a story: A neighbor went completely grey very young with young children and another on the way. She kept her grey color but was unhappy when taken for her children's grandmother rather than their mother even though her face and body were young. You may run into the same thing. Know that you are supported here and will probably also be supported by your family and friends when they get used to it.

Agree 100% with Gaylene. You are beautiful

Yes to
- you look sophisticated
- you will be perceived as being older than your age
- that is just fine
