I am in my early 40's and my hair is going gray. It has been for probably at least 8 years. I have a stripe of hair in one spot at the crown of my head that's pretty solidly gray. I've always liked that, but now more hairs are starting to grow in gray. I am pretty set on going gray naturally, mostly because I am lazy and cheap and can't imagine coloring my hair every month or so. And I don't mind the color changing. The issue though is the texture. I have curly hair, and it's super thick. There are always a million little hairs growing in, which in and of itself doesn't look great. But the gray ones are so wiry and they tend to stick straight up or stick out at weird angles. I am so compelled to just pull them out because they make me feel like an old witch!. My hairdresser says not to pull them out because they just need to get longer and then they'll lay down.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone is going gray naturally and dealing with this. Is this just the texture of gray hair, and I'll just look like a mess as I age? Any must have products or hints for gray hair? My hair is long but I've worn it short and straightened it in the past, so I'm considering that as well once I decide it's time for a change. It's too much work to straighten it when it's as long as it is now.
