When you turn grey, will you colour your hair?

I was having a conversation with one of my best friends who now lives in London (England) about what had changed in our lives. The subject quickly turned to the few grey hairs she spotted while pulling her hair back to cleanse her face before going to bed.

While wrinkles may not be a major concern for either of us right now because of our skin types and ethnic background (she’s Chinese-Canadian), we both expressed the desire to colour our hair as more greys appeared until we got tired of colouring.

While growing up, I don’t remember seeing any stylish women sporting their grey hair. It’s only in my early twenties that I saw a friend of the family sporting her salt and pepper hair with a killer hair cut that I realized grey hair could be very stylish.

It’s more and more common today to spot a number of gorgeous Baby Boomers on Toronto’s Bloor Street sporting their stylish salt and pepper mane with much pride.
In fact, in many cases they have kept the length and broken away from the “short hair after a certain age” stereotypes.

It’s quite reassuring to see some incredible role models who are breaking new grounds when it comes to aging.
