Graying hair at 22.

I'm the only woman in my family who does not color her hair, but after locating several gray hairs on my head this semester I might have to resort to the bottle (of dye that is).  My dark brown curly hair has been a trademark of mine since I was a little girl.  My sisters are both blonds.  One has perfectly straight hair while the other has nice wavely hair that can easily be straightened or left as is.  I on the other hand have a crazy jungle of thick curly hair that is brown.  For a better portion of my adolescent life, I lamented my dark curly hair.  I wanted to look like all of the "pretty blond girls" at school, but my mother told me my hair was too dark for natural looking chemical highlights. 

Now as a 22 year old woman, I am comfortable with my hair... except when it's really humid and no product on earth can tame the beast, but now I feel that I am being catapulted into the graying stage!  I once told someone I would never dye my hair to hide grays, because I think older women with gray hair are beautiful.  It's a sign of a life well lived, but this premature graying has me eating my words.  If I'm going to dye my hair, I might as well go big or go home right?   Below are pictures of two options I am considering.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.

How about dyeing my hair like Tonks from Harry Potter?

Or shaving my head completely and working the baldness like Natalie Portman?
