I think it is a bit different for women than it is for men. Women see a man's greying hair as distinguished and rather attractive and it seems men tend to go grey earlier than women. With most women it just makes them look older, partly because the hair looses its shine.. I love my RATTER's greying hair, but although I am 9 years older than he is, I myself don't yet feel ready for grey hair. I do have patches of grey hair, which annoy me. If I were going grey evenly I would probably feel OK about it. My Mum went grey in patches too and so hated it. So, at the moment I do dye my hair about every two to three months. My natural hair colour is very dark, but I am dyeing it lighter now as this looks softer and it won't be such a huge change when I am an even grey and no longer want to dye my hair.
