Gray hair, don't care!

That rings true for Hilarie Burton Morgan.

The actress and author, 42, who has been rocking her natural gray hair for years, shared an Instagram Reel created by @styledbyfrancescacairns.

The Reel was titled, "How to style grey hair," and Burton Morgan shared it to her Instagram Stories, writing, "In the BEST company here and proud to be the youngest woman in the Grey Club."

The mom of two, who is married to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, has been open about her hair going gray at young age. In October last year, she appeared on an episode of The View and candidly told co-host Joy Behar that she's embracing the color and letting it come in naturally.

“It’s a weird thing when you were a teen drama actress, and the expectation to be 17 forever is out there,” she said of where she is in her life and embracing aging. "And I didn’t necessarily like my younger years. I dealt with some dark stuff in my younger years. So this idea that you can level up and get to the place where you’re the salty one in the room was exciting to me.”

“And my heroes were Bea Arthur and Ruth Gordon and Betty White,” she added. “That’s who I wanted to be. So going gray early had been a relief.”
