I remember getting my first gray hair. I ripped it out as fast as I could and hoped no one had noticed before I did. Then I remember the second…and the third. And then all the ones after that became a secret between me and my hairdresser.
Of course, the older I get, the less I care about my gray hairs. After all, it's my natural color, so why be ashamed?
Rachel Hollis, a mother of three, recently posted a photo of herself in a bikini on Facebook and the picture went viral. Rachel's photo reveals some stretch marks on her stomach as well as some extra weight — the obvious result of motherhood. Instead of being ashamed, however, Rachel said, "These marks prove that I was blessed enough to carry my babies…They aren't scars, ladies, they're stripes and you've earned them. Flaunt that body with pride!"
I am trying to carry that same feeling of pride to the subject of my hair. After all, I've experienced a lot in life. My wrinkles and gray hair are just beautiful symbols of all I have accomplished.
Even younger women are seeing the beauty of gray and white hair. They're choosing to dye their hair gray years before nature does it for them.
Imagine being in your twenties and thirties and thinking, "I have to have gray hair!" Yet, gray is now officially in style. Just look at the photos below. Some of the subjects are younger women, and some are women who have gone gray the natural way.
I absolutely think gray is gorgeous. Please SHARE if you agree!
