Grey hair, whatever!
This is true of Hilarie Burton Morgan.
The 42-year-old actress and author, who has been sporting her natural grey hair for years, shared an Instagram reel by @styledbyfrancescacairns. In the video, creator Francesca features celebrities with grey hair, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Fonda and Burton Morgan himself.
The reel was captioned “How to style grey hair” and Burton Morgan shared it on her Instagram stories, writing, “In the BEST company here and proud to be the youngest woman in the Grey Club.”

The mother of two, who is married to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, has spoken openly about her hair turning grey at a young age. In October last year, she appeared in an episode of The view and openly told co-host Joy Behar that she embraces the color and lets it flow naturally within her.
“It’s weird when, as an actress in a teen drama, you always expect to be 17 forever,” she said of her current stage of life and embracing aging. “And I didn’t necessarily like my younger years. I had to deal with some dark things in my younger years. That idea that you can rise up and get to the point where you’re the one who has the grudges in the room, I found exciting.”
“And my heroes were Bea Arthur, Ruth Gordon and Betty White,” she added. “That’s who I wanted to be. So it was a relief to get grey hair so early.”

“It takes all kinds,” replied Burton Morgan.
