Gray Hair – Fashion Trend, Rebellion or Natural Progression?
Posted By admin on January 15, 2012
That first gray hair…no matter what your age, can be devastating. Many women run for the tweezer to pull it out. Hint – don’t do that – you can damage the roots!
We are constantly bombarded with all kinds of advertising telling us how to get rid of the gray, cover up your gray…and of course – “wash that gray right out of your hair”. Is gray hair a sign of letting yourself go, or a sign of grace and elegance?
Is it Okay to go Gray?
Gray is becoming a new style option, not just the inevitable sign of aging. But don’t think that going gray is easy…it’s not as simple as you might think. Gray hair needs a good amount of maintenance and care from an arsenal of products specially formulated to keep it from looking dull and drab. And you need to keep it cut and styled…or you will run the risk of looking “old and gray”. A sharp, well-defined style makes gray hair look fresh, modern and chic.
All Gray is not Created Equal
What color gray do you want? There’s white, silver, pewter, platunum, ash gray, light gray, dark gray, slate gray and a spectrum of shades in between.
Many women flirt with the idea of going gray, but quickly change their mind. It’s definitely a big adjustment for someone who has been coloring their hair for a long time. Some women start the process of going gray, only to return to coloring their hair because they don’t like their appearance.
Other women embrace gray and view it as a form of “rebellion”.
Celebrities who love and are proud of their gray hair include:
- Jamie Lee Curtis
- Helen Mirren
- Paula Deen
- Diane Keaton
- Emmylou Harris
- Joan Baez
- Sharon Stone
- Judi Dench
- Ruby Dee
- Tyne Daly
- Toni Morrison
