Watch this video if you watch nothing else. A woman answers a critic of her looks.

1. Strong beautiful woman

Thank you for posting.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

2. First off, you can barely see her gray hairs.

Second, even if she were totally gray she wouldn't look 70. Whoever wrote that note to her is a complete asshole.

[Bettie]

3. Even if she looked 70

why is that wrong or bad?

Women age.

Women are not always thin and "attractive" in the way society demands.

But, they are still people. Even if they are not "beautiful".

8. That freaking simple

Of all the gifts my parents and grandparents, family and friends gave us, the best one was self esteem.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. Yeah. I'm 68, a woman despite my screen name.

My hair is totally gray and I just love it. If anyone were to suggest I dye it, I'd laugh at them, then ask if they'd pay for it to be done every week. I stopped coloring my hair nearly ten years ago because I needed to do it every other week, and was looking at every week since I don't happen to think obvious gray roots are a good look. But that's just me.

4. Lovely except for who made her

I started graying early and this older woman who lived a few streets away stopped me one day as I was heading to the community football field. She asked me why I didn't dye my hair so I'd look younger. My response was simple - you don't look younger.
She never said another word to me.

5. Great comeback! n/t

[peggysue2]

6. You go, girl

This woman doesn't owe anyone an apology or explanation. For perceived or nonexistent flaws. Methinks, most women have agonized, been criticized and wasted a whole lot of time wanting to be . . . that someone else, perfect.

Not going to happen for any of us. Congrats to this young woman to have realized this sooner than most.

Be That Person. Sounds like a motto to live by. That and Rock Our Bodies. Love it!

Thanks for posting.

7. She is awesome!

Powerful and beautiful message from a powerful and beautiful woman!

[malaise]

9. She also has an awesome

supportive husband

[mcar]

10. Beautiful woman

Inside and out.

12. +1000...and besides gray hairs come at different times for different. I worked with a guy who was..

...fully gray by age 30. What an asswipe for spewing the man is for making such a comment. Obvious he has some major INSECURITIES and taking them out on her.

[mcar]

17. People can be horrid in anonymity

[Guilded Lilly]

11. Four years ago I embraced my full thick head of long silver...

white hair. I walked away from expensive salon treatments and interim skunk-stripe touch-ups from my natural dark brunette locks and embraced the flawed but honest, come by it naturally genetically passed down hair AND chubby thighs that ten years on a any treadmill wouldn't cure.

And I am plenty cute at 63.

Anyone doesn't like it?
Tough. Look elsewhere. I like me just fine. In fact, I love the look. It is totally me. It's freedom.

If anyone around me has the classless oafishness to play any kind of ageism crap on anyone, they will feel the instant withering wrath of "the LOOK" (that still scares my grown children) and a pointed reminder to critique their own reflections about perfection.

There is beauty everywhere, every age, every shape.
Celebrate it!

[iluvtennis]

24. You go girl :-)

[TxDemChem]

13. Such a beautiful person

We need more people like her

[DK504]

14. And I love all of you.

And I am so disappointed in some one so vain, shallow and insecure for lashing out.

[demmiblue]

15. Very touching...

[OldRedneck]

16. Grey hair?!?!?!?!?

GREY hair???

Grey HAIR????

GREY HAIR????

She's hot!!!!!

[phylny]

18. There are several Facebook groups for women who have decided

not to dye their hair (or not to dye their hair anymore).

I stopped dyeing my hair in July. It's growing out slowly, but surely. I'm 58 and I'm happy with the way it's coming in.

This woman is lovely. Good for her for speaking up.

[Ilsa]

28. The "ombre" look you probably have now will be gone before you know it.

I stopped dyeing years ago. So glad I'm not wasting that time every month.

Yes, I miss the body that dyeing gave my hair, but it's been a good decision for me.

[smirkymonkey]

19. She's lovely just as she is.

Inside and out. You go girl!

[LakeArenal]

20. Why do haters have to hate...?

[warmfeet]

21. She is a beautiful human being.

Who cares what she looks like.

[BittyJenkins]

22. My sweet girl

is probably the same age as this amazing person. Her hair started turning white when she was 14. She is a great good soul and tried for years to make her hair "look like it should look". She is 38 now with thick beautiful white hair that is actually a thousand colors of white. She has her doctorate in Human Development and works for the county. A new person was just hired and she looked at my Kate and said "You look like the Mother of all Dragons." She does and she is beautiful. I love my girl, and I just want to say, keep an open heart and it always helps.

[NastyRiffraff]

23. Wow. I wish I had her hair

AND her body. She's beautiful, outwardly and more important, inside.

[Ms. Toad]

25. I never understood the hair dye thing. n/t

[lunasun]

26. She is gorgeous . Wth is wrong with creepy people like the person who left her that comment?

Even if she was an ugly hag so what is it to have to say it to the person that turns on sickos?

[burrowowl]

27. BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!!

[raven mad]

30. I had a cousin who went gray at 31.

A LOT of premature gray hair, is living your life, having fun, helping others, and paying it forward.

LOL! AND being a redhead of Irish descent, I've got some but I had an aunt who got mad at her first.......... and then laughed. She was 80. I'm 63.
