It was not long ago that finding the first grey or white hair was a cause for hysteria. Frantic attempts to pull it out followed by a trip the hair salon was the norm for many. However, in the past few years, white and grey hair have become increasingly popular shades to dye natural hair. You heard that right. People are voluntarily dying their hair grey. Instead of dying over white hair, women are lining up at the salons to embrace grey hair.<\/p>\n

Changing Attitudes<\/h3>\n

The unfavorable attitude towards grey hair goes back a long way.<\/p>\n

Ancient Times:<\/h5>\n

Ancient Egyptians would cover grey hair with henna dyes or wigs. Greeks and Romans used plant extracts to cover greys.<\/p>\n

1600’s:<\/h5>\n

Jumping to the 1600’s, women and men would darken grey hair with a lead comb. As assumed, many suffered in the name of beauty, succumbing to lead poisoning and even death. On the other side, saffron was a popular choice to lighten hair and pastel powders were used on white hair.<\/p>\n

1700’s:<\/h5>\n

In the 1700’s grey and white hair became popular in the form of powdered wigs. These wigs were very heavy and could be infested with insects or mice. They were also really expensive. In fact, the trend fell out of fashion when a tax on hair powder made it out of most people’s price range.<\/p>\n

1900’s:<\/h5>\n

In the past century or so, white hair meant two different things depending on your gender. For men, it added a layer of nobility and distinction. For women, it represented deterioration, the end of fertility, and thus usefulness.<\/p>\n

In the 1940’s and 50’s, hair dye companies preyed on women’s insecurities about getting older. advertisements from Clairol claimed grey hair could leave women buried beneath the dull color. They also said grey hair would ruin their romantic lives. However, the worst came when Clairol claimed grey hair was a “Heartless Dictator,” a phrase that would strike fear in the hearts of many women.<\/p>\n

\n

Present Attitudes Towards Grey<\/h3>\n

Over the next few decades, the number of women dying over their grey hair increased, making it feel like a requirement. However, this attitude started to change. Women like the beautiful and vibrant Helen Mirren, the youthful Jamie Lee Curtis, and the talented Diane Keaton, have embraced their natural silver locks with such confidence, it has encouraged others to do the same. The fashion world began embracing grey and white hair with many models over the age of 60 landing high profile campaigns.<\/p>\n

A Fashion Color<\/h5>\n

Recently the color has popped up on the other side of 30. Television and movie characters, like Daenerys from “Game of Thrones” and Elsa from “Frozen” brought white hair into our homes.\u00a0Celebrities like Cara Delevingne, Kylie Jenner,\u00a0and singer Lily Allen, have all traded their natural color for grey and white hair. And we don’t blame them. Grey hair actually suits most skin tones and can make you appear more youthful than dark or blonde hair dyes.<\/p>\n
