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:

by commenting that TBH, am a bit disappointed in InArt's seeming fabric choices - as much as I can tell from images, not having any InArt in hand. Specifically, I don't know why they didn't go with thin wool felt for the hat (which isn't that expensive, even real wool felt) and I'm feeling a bit dubious about Aragorn's cloak and jacket material.
