I really don't remember when I found my first one - somewhere in my 20's. And now at 65 I have a whole lot. I don't dye my hair, since I like the way it looks as it is. It's not an all over silver - mainly the top and sides, and it looks like it's been frosted or highlighted - not completely silver. Some women pay to get the look that Mother Nature gave me free of charge, and some people don't believe me when I tell them it's natural.
