I have been working on an elderly couple for some time now. I have the guy done, but I have ran into a stump for a hair style that is suitable for an elderly woman. I just can't seem to find anything for her. I'm using Genesis 1, but hair for V4 will work. Perhaps even V3 might work.

Trixy Hair might work. http://www.daz3d.com/trixy-hair-for-genesis
Portia Hair, maybe: http://www.daz3d.com/portia-hair-2
Or Deeta Hair: http://www.daz3d.com/deeta-hair-2
There are two different hairs at Rendo with curlers that have grey hair textures that might work. They are for V4 but autofit nicely to Genesis 1 and Genesis 2.
Here Wren Hair might work http://www.daz3d.com/wren-hair
Classic Rolled Hair http://www.daz3d.com/classic-rolled-hair-for-genesis
You don't mention if you want everyday, casual hair or something more formal. I personally find History hair works great with a more mature morph. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/history-hair/36209
For more casual looks these seem appropriate. http://www.daz3d.com/xanadu-hair and http://www.daz3d.com/gloria-short-hairstyle

With elegant clothes, Sultry Hair is nice:

Thank you everyone for your wonderful suggestions! I should have mentioned that I am looking for a hair style that is casual. Something that she would wear everyday. I looked at all of them and will eventually will have to get every one of them. For now I have decided on getting the Trixie hair and the Gloria hair. I think that the Trixie hair kind of looks like Lucille Ball's do in "I Love Lucy". I liked how it looked on her. The Gloria hair looks like the hair style of a woman I frequently see at work (I work outside at a Big Box store).
Apart from what the others have already mentioned, I'd suggest one of my favourite semi-formal hairstyles, Harlow Hair 2: http://www.daz3d.com/harlow-hair-2. It has good grey textures, although for my needs, I adjusted them all in PowerPoint. For a modern elderly lady, Loyle Hair may work: http://www.daz3d.com/loyce-hair. Or Pyrit Hair: http://www.daz3d.com/pyrit-hair. It has both Genesis and Generation 4 versions, the latter makes it fall into the sale - it costs $2 now, it's a bargain! It also works for males. Finger Wave Bob Hair looks okay: http://www.daz3d.com/finger-wave-bob-for-genesis. Or even Sandy Hair: http://www.daz3d.com/sandy-hair-for-genesis.
By the way, Actual Hair has lots of styles, it is a great investment: http://www.daz3d.com/actual-hair. Audrina Hair is quite versatile: http://www.daz3d.com/audrina-hair. Plus 3Dream has hairstyles with a multitude of morphs, so I'd definitely get at least one of those long ones like Gregoria Hair: http://www.daz3d.com/3dream. They have Genesis, Generation 4 and Generation 3 fits. Valea's shop is worth checking, some of her hairstyles were made DAZ Originals if I'm correct: http://www.daz3d.com/valea.
