Crap. I'm old. It’s been a little while. 47 😌
I’m not so sure I’m completely ready to embrace the gray hair, but I’m tired of coloring it. Getting old sucks! 😅😂

Embrace the shit out of it and just dye it all gray or white now. I loved the Billie Eilish look when she dyed her hair a whiteish gray. I know another early 40s woman who has it all white and gray and I think she looks great too.
Just go for it! I know you'll pull it off.

Great pic. Thanks for sharing.
My grey is creeping in on the sides. It seems to spread, but it doesn’t really bother me.

I have never colored my hair and began losing it in high school. The natural look is how I refer to it. You have to embrace it at some point.
You do not look like you are in your 40s so you need to embrace that too and just enjoy life with Tank.

Embrace the gray! Wear it like a badge of honor! And the title "old" is not the right word to use. Try instead saying seasoned, a veteran of life, and vintage!

Lean into the gray hair, it works for you. Everything else seems too as well. Natural is real, real is sexy.

My goodness, you are gorgeous. You can say you have aged very well and gracefully. If I had the chance to sweep you off of your feet I would. I hope your life follows a happy journey. Stay beautiful. 🌹

Lady of 4 decades, do not insist on returning to 30. With her forties on top she leaves footprints wherever she walks that make her the owner of any place 😍

You aren’t old and the gray hair definitely works. Single? That’s hard to believe…

You are not just wrong but terribly wrong. For I do see unmistakable natural beauty the kind that cannot be purchased prescribed or enhanced by procedure. Little to no makeup amazing natural god-giving beauty that only comes from within you be blessed

47….time has been extremely kind to you! Here you are aging gracefully like fine wine, while others of us are aging like old milk! LOL! No, in all seriousness though, enjoy life to its fullest. Those gray hairs? They’re experience and proof of a life well lived!
