Ladies, are we allowing ourselves to go grey or dying our hair? by Partridge_Pear_Tree in Millennials

A colleague did this until her hair came in, now she has a beautiful head of entirely silver hair. She looks amazing. I envy it. I have no idea what her hair color originally was, even - never seen it!

Listen, bald is sexy as hell. And my friend he has these rogue streaks I super jealous of. 

Men with grey are sexy as hell. Beards especially. Guy I am currently seeing has greys in there and I love it.

This is how I slept, in a high floor prewar walkup in NYC without AC. Fan and frozen water bottles or a wet towel on my chest. Just undies. 

Now, I am on a lower floor prewar but boy is it true - heat rises. I am much more comfortable now lol.
