I've gotten noticeably more in the past three years. But my hair is light, and it doesn't stand out. I don't much care. I think grey hair looks pretty cool. That said, I used to dye my hair all sorts of colors, and I resent that it isn't widely acceptable to do so outside of youth. I don't have much problem dressing or appearing outside of people's expectations, but the friction that it causes is a hassle. If I didn't work in a 'professional' environment, my fashion would probably would drift much more, including hair color. I feel most comfortable when I can.

Most of the woman I know that have gray hair color it. I wonder how many of them feel trapped in the cycle.
