The men do not, and are either grey or salt-and-pepper.
As for the women, they all still have black hair - no comment on whether it's natural or dyed!
I never really thought about this stuff before - but where I live now, nobody dyes their hair. So you see lots of people in their 20s and 30s with salt-and-pepper hair! So dyeing hair is definitely unusual here.
Do your parents (and in-laws) dye their hair?

The only one that does is my mom...but she does hair for a living so she does it herself!

Both my mom and MIL do. They don't want visible white hairs.

My mom used to but stopped maybe five or so years ago. Her hair is a very nice color of grey 
I remember my grandma (her mother) had the most beautiful snow-white hair. My MIL does dye. I might need to myself, I'm seeing more grey hairs lately

Yes, my mom and mother in law both dye their hair. My mom went completely gray before 30, so she's been dying hers for 20+ years. She was a hair stylist for years and does it herself. My grandma and my grandpa's wife both dye theirs as well. No men dye theirs.

My mom does, and my MIL used to. She recently decided to embrace the grey and I think she looks great. Neither men dye!

My mom does but it's natural looking and incorporates some of her blonde white. MIL does not and let herself go gray from a young age. It really ages her I think.
Neither of the dads do.

Neither of my parents do. My dad is only just starting to get some grays in his dark hair recently and he is 65. My mom definitely has some grays but not a ton- good genetics in that respect!
FIL is gray. MIL has been dying it for years and it's exactly the same shade of blond as my 2 year old.

My mom does but only a few times a year when she gets around to it. My MIL and I recently discovered that the same stylist cuts/dyes our hair. I hadn't even known she went to the same salon as me haha.

My dad does, he's been grey since he was 30 and started dying his hair sometime while I was in high school, LOL! I'm pretty sure my mil does and my step mom does. Fil does not!

My MIL used to and recently stopped. My mom hasn't but still has a lot of brown hair. My grandma had mainly black hair until she got sick in her 80s. I'm hoping for that hair. FIL and my dad never dyed theirs. My dad has been grey since 30.

My MIL has never dyed her hair. She has long white/faded blonde hair. Very hippy, flower child, although she now pins it up. My Mom has been dying her hair since her early 30s, same as her sisters. I have for years, too, but only started "needing" it 2 yrs ago. The men in my family don't dye their hair.

My mom dyes her hair because she has really dark hair, so her grays stand out. My dad does nothing about it but keeps his hair short and it blends in.
When I was a kid, I asked my mom why my grandma had gray hair and my grandpa didn't, despite being the same age. My mom told me it was the kind of shampoo my Grandma used..... I totally accepted that explanation until I was like 14 or 15, when I went to ask my Grandma which shampoo it was, and then I finally realized that wasn't it....

My mom covered her gray until about 55 and then let it go grey. My MIL is 60 and colors hers. Both father and FIL are grey.

My mom went gray really early (like 25-30) and left it natural for years, but in her 40s she started dying it brown. My dad doesn't dye his hair, but it's barely gray at all.
My MIL doesn't dye her hair, which has been gray and is now turning white.

Mil does but my mom doesn't. I am definitely graying but I am letting it be. It's definitely become much more noticeable!

My mom has never dyed her hair and went gray super early. But it looks nice on her - a soft silver almost. My MIL does, my dad is just getting more grays mixed into his dark hair now.

My mum stopped dying her hair a couple of years before she turned 60. Its mostly white now. She also wears it very short.
My MIL has hers coloured and has her roots done regularly. She also gets her nails done regularly. My FIL doesn't have much hair but what there is is grey.

The moms do, the dads do not. My mom has been dying her hair since I was in middle school; my sister since high school. My dad has a beautiful thick head of black hair that is just starting to gray at 63. I'm leaving mine alone for now. I dyed my hair once or twice in college and that's it since then.
My MIL dyes her hair and my FIL is bald.

My mil and sil do. My mom just started highlighting her brown hair (sorta covers up/blends in the grays)
I live in metro NYC and they live in the midatlantic.
The dads don't. Both have grey hair. Actually my dads is white.

@mrbee: I would love to walk around there. Maybe I would stop dying my hair!

My mom is in her 60s and she does. I have no surviving grandparents.

I think my dad did but just stopped. I believe my mom still does.
