Audrina Patridge is the latest celeb sporting the gray hair-do. I remember the first time I saw Kelly Osbourne with gray hair on Fashion Police…I had to do a double take. Usually women are trying to dye their hair to hide their gray! The Huffington Post stated in a recent article, “gray hair is beautiful at any age.” This trend is clearly trying to support that statement.
Personally, I’m not sure if I am for or against this trend. I believe gray hair is beautiful but it’s a part of aging, which is a beautiful thing. I’m just not sure if I want to wait until I have gray hair naturally rather than prematurely induce it. Although when I started googling the gray hair trend I came across thousands of photos. I liked about 50% of the trendy dyed hair but when I saw the attached photo, I actually considered dying my hair gray. At least until I realized, that my employer would probably have a heart attack if I did.
I consulted with one of my best friends who is a hair stylist in San Diego, CA and have some recommendations if you are thinking to go gray.
Here are some helpful tips to find the right shade for your skin tone:
- Lighter skin tones: Need to stick with creamy paler colors like a pale yellow or pure white, both hues will highlight your natural coloring.
- Medium skin tones: Can play around a bit more of a steel gray or a creamy white. Bright silver tones can also be used as a highlight or low light.
- Dark skin tones: Stay away from colors with a yellow hue this will wash you out but steel looking grays and the salt and pepper look will looking amazing.
What are your thoughts? Would you be willing to take the plunge?
