I am a woman of 36 years. I have never dyed my hair before. I have a lock of white hair on the sides of both temples and quite a few separate white hairs on the front. In general, the color of my hair is light chestnut and it does not look so striking. I have been dyeing my mother at home for years and I do not want to put such rubbish on my hair. I wonder what such a woman would look like in people's eyes - like a witch, an old woman? Is it ugly and repulsive? Whitening is a completely natural process, but nowadays the natural does not work. People are becoming more artificial - fake breasts, lips, muscles. I also thought about henna, but the colors are quite saturated and obvious. Otherwise, I'm in no hurry to paint myself with anything, I accept myself as such, it's not a problem for me, but I don't want people on the streets to look at me with wonder or disgust, for example. Many relatives and acquaintances suggest to me that it is time to do something. Are you for or against white hair?

So far I have not heard of anyone liking gray women's hair.
are you serious I don't believe anyone will tell you it's for white hair, except for a village grandmother who doesn't care what she looks like. And what colors did you paint your mother with, that you call them garbage?
I will soon turn 33 and I, like you, have never dyed my hair. I have a lot of white hair not in locks, but scattered on the hair. When my hair is clean they don't show much. For the last two years I have been thinking about painting, but two hairdressers advise me not to do it, I could have waited longer. I bet on my natural look, in terms of body, hair, makeup / rarely very light /. Compared to my two close friends at my age, I look younger, and they are at least 10 years older - dyed hair, makeup, manicures, not to mention wrinkles. I am completely natural, different, more interesting, white hair does not bother me in any way. The men who pay attention to me don't stop either. Known around 40, it has a large white lock of bangs and looks charming.
Grandmothers are not yet in fashion.
I thought so too, but since I started painting / at a hairdresser /, I haven't missed a month and I haven't regretted it for a moment. With age, hair loses color, even if it is not gray. You just have to hit a decent hairdresser who will paint you competently and with quality paint.
I am not a "village grandmother", but a woman who is up to date. And yet I will say that gray hair can look extremely stylish if the hairstyle itself is well maintained. Fashion icon Babe Paley was the first to stop dyeing her hair (the wife of a billionaire and she herself - an editor in "Vogue"). This happened in the middle of the last century and is a real sensation - gray hair is beginning to be associated with style, wealth and power. Abroad, I have met impeccably elegant ladies from the higher social strata who maintain but do not dye their hair, and this really looks aristocratic. But in order for a woman to afford such a vision, she must generally maintain an ideal appearance. Torn jeans and white hair - is a disaster. But silver hair plus an expensive suit or dress - is class. I personally use paint,
There is no point in dyeing a few white hairs. Hair turns white mostly from stress.
I sew abroad and there are a lot of women who leave their hair gray. And those who are already gray-white and debt look very cool. Usually women are quite wealthy. In my case I am blond and when my white hair came out I made very light blond hair in thin locks and I touch it about once a year.
Yes, she would look like a witch to me. It's like going outside with a short skirt and hairy legs. It's your choice, but it's ugly.
There is nothing more repulsive in a young woman than white hair, as if she were a grandmother. After all, the choice is yours, but in the eyes of men ... they will not find anything attractive!
"Are you for or against white hair?" - I'm for henna, act :-)
First, it depends on exactly how much white hair you have. If there are a few hairs - well, there is no point in dyeing, secondly, it depends on the complexion. There are women whose white hair suits them and it is even interesting, there are also those who look awful! Gray hair is like any other color. Just as one goes blond and the other doesn't, so does gray hair. Third, a lot depends on where and what you work, is if you work with people, but it's good to have a well-maintained appearance. I'm your age and I started dyeing my hair. I work with clients and I just can't afford to look neglected and distracted. However, if you work from home or you do not meet clients, you can afford to have a slightly less maintained look, but for your colleagues it is not so important whether you have or do not have white hair. And last but not least, it's a matter of self-esteem. Yes, even if I didn't work with clients, I wouldn't allow myself to look like an unmaintained nanny with indeterminate hair color. Believe me, painting, especially with quality paint and with a good hairdresser is not so scary, and the results are worth it. It is not said to drastically change the color, just to slightly refresh yours.
I absolutely support opinion № 7! How come most people never realized that the whole look is important, and not something determined by appearance ?! J. 43
For me, unevenly white hair is equal to an unmaintained woman.
If you are perceived with gray hair, I do not see why you ask for an opinion. I'm painting from a teenager, now I'll turn 35. Until recently I did it for variety - I'm brown, but I change red, purple to black and so I turn them. Recently, however, I noticed that I have a lot of white hair. It is true that I have been under terrible stress for the last 2-3 years. I will not stop painting. My thought is that there will always be someone who doesn't like the way we look, but whatever we do must be for ourselves.
A lot depends on your complexion. Some women like it, but others look awful with white hair. And one is well-groomed white hair, another is unevenly white hair, tousled without a hairstyle, ie. to look neglected. I am 37 and I paint, I have chosen a brown color close to my natural one, there is nothing scary, as long as you buy quality paints and go to the hairdresser, instead of risking it to become uneven. I don't know what paint your mother uses, but quality paints are certainly not rubbish.
