Yes, it's a must! I've been graying since I'm 16 years old. But more so now in my 40's. I some times take a break but when the top of my head is full with gray then I know it's time! lol

I don't think there is any wrong with coloring your hair. You need to feel your best at all times.

I actually like the grays I'm getting. I thought it would be coming faster since I've been getting gray hairs since I was a teenager but it seems to have been transforming very slowly. It's just amusing to watch.

Stereotype, but this is usually more of an issue with the fairer gender.  My wife has her hair colored every 6 to 8 weeks. As a man, I just let things run their course.  I actually welcome the gray hairs, but despise the balding!  Oh well, I got my Poppa's genes!

I'm only 25 and my hair has been steadily being infiltrated with grey over the last year or two.
At first, I dyed my hair bright red because I loved the color, but then I had to change it to a more natural color because of my career. Now, I dye my hair deep red, partially because I just love the color, and partially to hide my greys! I hate that I have so many when I am still so young.

When I was a little girl, coloring your hair seemed to be a no-no.  You could spot dyed hair a mile away, and it was not attractive.  When my kids got grown, they talked me into coloring my grey, and I liked what I saw.  Times have changed and coloring hair is no longer frowned upon.  You see it everywhere, blue, green, pink, all colors of the rainbow.  I will probably keep coloring my hair, but I only do it twice a year.  By the time I go for my appointment, I have a nice grey "headband" around my face!

No!  I've never colored my hair, either.  I'll be 60 this year and I actually don't have very many grays.  A little bit more at the hairline above my ears, but not a whole lot for the rest of my hair.  My sister is totally white and I really wish my hair would do that, too!  I think the pure white looks striking and really love it!

I have never colored my hair and it started getting silver streaks in it at an early age. My hair at that time was a very dark brown almost black. I liked it . Now I am 72 and it is all silver and white. think I will just leave it. I earned every one of those silver and white strands. I keep it cut short. Partly because after being sick I lost a lot of hair to having a high fever and the meds. so now I am just a regular wash and go.

I have been coloring my hair for several years.  If I didn't it would be completely gray.  I'm not sure I want gray hair.  I do not put perms in my hair.
