I appreciate that you included a cultural perspective on this. I decided to go gray during quarantine. I did not intend to AT ALL...In fact, I had an appointment to color my hair all scheduled the day salons reopened. Then, a few weeks before I realized that my hair looked healthier than it had in a very long time. My natural curls came back and my hair was soft. As it grew, I realized I liked the silver highlights. Don't get me wrong, I HATE the transition process where I still have dyed ends but I am not seeing too many people right now other than through zoom.
