I have always loved the look of gray hair due to my family heritage...just about everyone has salt and pepper, silver gray, light silver, or in the case of my grandmother, white so white it looks bleached.
I have always wanted hair like my grandmother, but my mother won't let me bleach it. Because of society, she thinks having gray hair too soon would keep men from being interested in me, thus causing me to be single unnecessarily.
Ironically, she has no problem with me dying it purple...
