Embracing the Silver Strands Thanks to Anne Kreamer and TIME for the article on whether women should color their hair [Sept. 10]. I'm 57 and started dyeing my hair in my mid-30s. When I turned 50, I decided that since I'd been a grandma from age 39, it was time I looked like one. Coloring your hair is a pain in the arse, as the Irish say. Your roots grow out in a week or two, and you have to touch them up or look like a skunk. Surely women have become liberated enough to do what...
...years old, and I don't understand what the big deal is over going gray. I've been getting steadily balder since I hit 30, and my remaining hair is turning gray. When I was growing up, my father made and serviced toupees. I thought they were ugly and reflected the wearer's incredible insecurity. I feel the same way about hair dye for men and women.

I had it hacked off, and that was the end of the bottle for me. Today I am 51, long divorced, gray-haired and chunky, but I'm still very sexually active. I work out, ride a motorcycle and travel extensively. My life is good because I make it good. Boomers need to realize that if we fulfill our life expectancy, we will...
Like most of the women in my family, I grayed very young - the white hairs at my temples appeared in my early 20s. Horrified, I rushed for the dye bottle and dutifully touched up my roots for the next 20 years. Three years ago, at the age of 40, I simply got tired of it and stopped. I hadn't seen my real color for two decades and wondered what I was in for. I was delighted to see an interesting salt-and-pepper mix with a few pure white streaks around my face, which I call nature's highlights...
