When I was 30 my mother found a grey hair on my head (actually, her sister did), and she told me that “you now have to color your hair”. I told her that I didn’t “have” to do anything, and quoted Proverbs 16:31 to her. Almost 20 years later and I still don’t color my hair.
That’s the advantage of being blond. We go silver (not gray) so gradually and so subtly that it’s years before anyone notices. At nearly 52, I myself have just a bit of gray at the sideburns, but that’s about it — and my salt-and-pepper boyfriend hates me for it!
a slight change in hairstyle forestalled colouring for about 25 years. …. genetics, sigh. sometimes they’re great and sometimes…. the white hair starts to show in the early twenties.

There is nothing graceful about getting old.

And BC, the salt-and-pepper look is considered very hot for mature men these days, so tell Curls to shut his syntax chasm!

So THAT explains all my gray hair! Camouflage for winter! Wonderful, I love it! But what will my excuse be come Spring? :-(
