    1. I had an aunt who would claim the color of her hair was natural well into her sixties at gatherings, while critiquing everyone who was grey or had dyed their hair. 

      One year, one of her kids got mad and chewed her out for lying about it for decades in front of everyone. One of my favorite memories.

      We have biohackers icing their balls and doing coffee enemas for no reason, and then we have people like this, who might as well be smoking a pack a day. Life ain’t fair.

      My gramps was fully brown through his 80s and only salt and pepper at his temples in his 90s!

    4. Well some people turn gray early, makes sense some people might much later or never.

    5. It’s not just her beautiful color, it’s the coverage Grandma has too, so thick!

    6. My great aunt was the same way. Even in her late 80s she only had a few greys at the temples and otherwise fully dark hair. From that I realized the softening of hair going grey is actually a mercy as you age 😂

    7. The uniformity of hair color betrays her secret. Natural hair will have slightly different shades.

      “day 1452 of not cutting my hair until Manchester united win 5 games in a row”

    9. My grandma was like this, smoked and drank like a fish. Eventually died at age 92. Had a few people in her family make it to even older and her mom was 101. Genetics are wild.

    10. My father’s hair was still black as night, no grey, up to the day he passed when he was 72. The only genetics we want from him lol.

      My grandpa died in his 80s with his hair this color. Some people’s hair just keeps trucking

    12. My grandma at 90+ also still has naturally black hair. At 30 I already have few grey hairs.

      My grandma is 85 and is still a natural brunette too! She spent most of my youth and adolescence dying her hair blonde, so I just assumed it was at least somewhat grey naturally. She stopped dying it, and now it is a mousy brown. Meanwhile, my grandpa’s hair was grey by his early 30s

    14. I am 40 years old, no gray hairs in my head, no bald spots and just three white hairs on my beard

      Genetics are weird

      Ngl, for a brief second I thought that was just her hair not attached to the rest of her and was kinda freaked out

    16. My grandma was the same! She lived to be 94, and her hair really only began to turn gray the last couple of years! RIP Grandma 🪻

    17. My grandma was the same way at 86. She got really sick for 1 1/2 months before she passed, didn’t have her hair done, and it was beautiful brown and curly short style (like your grandmas) at her wake. My aunts a hairdresser and just gave her a trim at the funeral home.

      It’s funny to think about, she always dyed her hair a reddish color her entire life, that I forgot she’s naturally brunette even though my entire family is brunette with some blonde lol.

      And then you have my bff’s dad who turned all gray at 18 years. Genetics are crazy sometimes
