Out-of-the-box it seems like most are closer to Gandalf the White straight than not from what I’ve seen, mine included (which I guess is understandable since that was their starting point with the updated offering). There was a lot of stiff product holding it in that straight down position at the roots on mine, likely made worse in transit as it is all packed down tight in a plastic sleeve. Similar to @Sassafras, some water and futzing to break up the product got it looking closer to the more disheveled Grey look I prefer.
Progression - First pic upon arrival:
After first water futz:
Current state after additional futzing and a very light, cautious test attempt at adding some darker layers to the hair, which probably doesn’t even come through looking at the photo now haha. I may try to do more later:
