Over the last couple years my eyebrows have started to gray. The also have gotten longer individual hairs. I’m beginning to look like Andy Rooney. I’ve had them dyed, but since they can only use temporary color, it just wasn’t really worth it. I have the mascara stuff for them and that works well. ---

My stylist always colored my brows for me when she did my hair. Now I do it myself. It works well and matches my hair. My first gray pubic hair made me cry. I can’t decide when to go natural. I’m so sick of coloring. ---

I am 53 and decided, sort of abruptly earlier this year that 39 years of coloring my hair was enough. So I let it grow out a bit, then had it cut super-spikey short to get rid of the color. I am honestly cool with this, (although my regular stylist wasn’t) but I am definitely thinking that escalating the eyebrow maintenance isn’t a bad idea. ---

I’m 55. My husband would like it if I color until I’m ninety, I think. I don’t have the energy. My grandfather had beautiful silver hair, but I seem to have the duller salt and pepper stuff. I think I’m going to start wearing more hats. ---

I am close to turning 35 in a couple of weeks. I have had grey hair on the side of my head for a year or two, and in the last few months, I have noticed a few in my chest hair and 3 in beard hair…none yet in the eyebrows or pubes…can’t be far behind, however. Whatever. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omfg-a-grey-eyebrow-hair/603176.md?page=1)
