Over the last few weeks, I have constantly been asked about my hair.  Several times a day.  I guess it's not much of a secret any more that for the last three years, I've been coloring my hair.  My hair was always jet black as a kid, but it turned to dark brown as I grew older.  But now it's changing again... to gray.

I first started noticing the grays creeping in around my temples in my late-20's.  I always felt I wasn't ready for it, so I started coloring my hair black... just like when I was a kid.  A month or so ago, however, I decided I wanted to see what it looked like natural.  To say the least, there's a lot more there now than when I first started covering it.

I looked in the mirror after getting a haircut yesterday and, for the first time in my life, I embraced the fact that I'm approaching middle-age, if not there already.  But I still don't know if I'm ready to embrace the gray.

So... I'll leave it up to you.  You tell me what you think in the comments below.  Should I embrace the gray?  Or should I go back to black?
