Show off your gray hair with pride: tips for following a celebrity fashion trend
Gray hair has always been associated with the elderly and consequently, is feared by most adults. Yet a trend in recent years has seen gray hair coming back into fashion: on the back of #greyhairdontcare, celebrities such as Helen Mirren, Andie McDowell, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, and others, have begun to show off their gray hair without fear of its past stigma.
Instead, it seems that gray rejuvenates some, softening facial features that tend to harden with age. But how can we enhance our gray hair? The current trend is towards lavender gray, a combination of gray and lavender, to be styled in a thousand different ways. Let's find out together what this is all about!
Popular among the young, as well as the older women, lavender gray is a tone that many like and is the current trend to camouflage gray hair or to enhance bleached hair. Hair can be dyed in a thousand shades and intensities, adapting perfectly to the personality of those who wear it. The shades of purple help to give more light to one's face and goes well with the gray of the hair, enhancing it when used lightly.
Whether your hair is gray by choice or by age, purple will give you the chance to play with your style even more. You can put it throughout your hair or only in certain areas (for example on only some strands and using the shade of purple you prefer). The only limit is your imagination.
You can also choose to dye only the tips in purple, playing with the color tones: more intense and tending to blue, or more delicate and lilac. Dusty, pastel or almost invisible. Choose what you like best, and experiment with different possibilities!
For an even greater impactful, you can also dye just the roots, leaving the lengths and ends natural if you have light gray or white hair (or have bleached them). The important thing is that the colors are purple and gray in all its fifty shades!
Have you made peace with your gray hair? Would you use lavender colors to give it more prominence?
