It can look dignified and pretty on those that have hair that is naturally grey and are older... but this fashion trend looks way too fickle to me and hair takes way to long to grow out of this trend.</p> <p>I once accidentally dies my hair pink/orange. Semi permanent my butt it lasted for more than 5 months. I don't dye my hair at all now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young/page/2#post-207358 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 05:14:23 +0000 Maya 207358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness Mary. You look like you shed about 20 years! That is like night and day. </p> <p>I think it makes more sense to go really light, platinum blonde than gray, if you're young. It's still edgy but not as draining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young/page/2#post-207357 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 05:08:19 +0000 MsMary 207357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, here are some blurry photos of me at Christmas 2007 with my gray hair, and a year later with it blonde (password is YLF): <a href="http://s368.photobucket.com/albums/oo129/mlk1958/You%20Look%20Fab/" rel="nofollow">http://s368.photobucket.com/al.....ook%20Fab/</a> . I'm never going back!

I thought it looked fierce on her. And Bella sums it up best for me. I think it can be edgy and cool when very young women do it in a manner that is clearly deliberate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young/page/2#post-206973 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 04:36:42 +0000 taylor 206973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK</p> <p>I loved your response because it came from experience, someone who has been there. That is by far the most telling and truthfull..not what someone may do someday if when they turn 40.. if they are grey by then...but someone who has lived this!!</p> <p>I also agree with you on Emmylou Harris, who is a beautiful women...with gorgeous grey hair, but CUT that witchy looking hair!!...Not doing you any favors.</p> <p>I also LOVE Pink I think she is FAB and looks beautiful with the shortest of short white hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206858 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:52:52 +0000 MsMary 206858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the pic of Pink in BlondAmbition's link. Other than that, I am not a fan of gray hair on almost anybody. I started going gray in my 20s, and let it go natural when I was 48 or so. It was pretty, in a way, but there is no. question. at. all. that it made me look older. Plus I was heavier then and all I heard was that my celeb lookalike was Paula Deen. Uh... no, thanks.</p> <p>I decided to go back to blond one day when I was sitting in the dentist's waiting room, reading an article in a magazine about a woman who'd gone gray and written a book about it. There were photos in the article of women who dye and don't dye, and they'd all been photoshopped to show what they'd look like if they were gray (for the dyers) or if the dyed (for the ones who were sporting their natural gray). To my eye, every single one of them (including Emmylou Harris, who does indeed look stunning with her natural gray hair) looked younger and prettier with the gray covered. I made an appointment with my colorist the minute I left the dentist's office, and I've never looked back!</p> <p>But, you know, Pink. I love her in anything and she is definitely rocking the silver hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206751 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:21:19 +0000 RoseandJoan 206751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some fantastic responses, I have to say I preferred Demi's hair its natural dark glossy brown colour, perhaps her warm colouring was too mismatched with the silver tones? But it really did look funky and subversive on her. I am starting to notice the first white hairs (no greys here) but fortunately they do not show against my blondish hair. I will be heading for the dye soon.</p> <p>Debora I love your unique attitude to styling your streaks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206714 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:48:53 +0000 Barbara 206714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These gals REALLY rock the gray:</p> <p><a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Beauty_Tips_For_Women__Gray_Hair_Is_Sexy_" rel="nofollow">http://hubpages.com/hub/Beauty.....r_Is_Sexy_</a></p> <p>I definitely plan to keep coloring MY gray, which appears like an uninvited guest at my temples. BlondeAmbition, I almost fell off my chair: a 57 year old in mom jeans and teddy bear sweater. Yikes! I'm 50-something and have NEVER worn the aforementioned items. Perish the thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206581 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:12:52 +0000 Debora 206581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started going gray in my late 20's and it manifested itsely in a striking streak at the crown of my head. I loved it and wore it this way until I started getting more gray all over. I think I started covering it up in my mid thirties when the gray started to make me look older than I was. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206517 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:37:01 +0000 BlondeAmbition 206517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some pics where I think gray hair is fabulous. In order to pull it off you ,must be young, trendy, and have a modern cut. This won't work if you're 57 and wearing mom jeans and a sweater with a teddy bear on it. I really don't like gray hair and would never sport it myself and I think it's tragic when someone doesn't cover their gray. I know a girl who's 40 who has stopped coloring her hair and she looks older than her mother who is beautifully coiffed.</p> <p><a href="http://bauergriffinonline.com/bfm_gallery/2008/09/PinkGoesGrayGoose/post_image/post_image-80928J6_PINK_B_GR_02.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://bauergriffinonline.com/....._GR_02.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/feb2009/7/6/Pixie_Geldorf_Pic_Getty_799664928.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl.....664928.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/01/28/article-1246577-080E2F0C000005DC-367_468x568.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix.....68x568.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://style.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gaga.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://style.mtv.com/wp-conten.....7/gaga.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-OC0zUJdyiI/S7Z_9bfOXoI/AAAAAAAAATg/QQ8ADZHHaBo/s400/cd111a32e1ae2e1d_pixie-g.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-OC0.....ixie-g.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206477 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:39:43 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 206477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only one who thinks naturally gray or silver hair can look fab? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206462 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:36:34 +0000 taylor 206462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Long grey hair is my very least favorite look for women...of any age. It just doesn't do a woman any favors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206457 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:28:22 +0000 Jenava 206457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMHO, grey is a color, too. So is silver. If it doesn't suit you, it doesn't look good. If it looks good, it looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206452 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:11:48 +0000 Angie 206452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw the Italian Vogue. I'm going to be the odd one out. I don't fancy Kate McMenamy's long grey hair She does indeed look very dramatic, but witch-like too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206444 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 03:55:12 +0000 judy 206444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly O. looks adorable in that shade. It looked stunning on Kate McMenamy in the couple of pictures from Vogue that I saw...very dramatic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206405 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:54:36 +0000 Angie 206405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Julie and Bella. That comes closest to how I feel about young people dying their hair grey </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206375 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:17:27 +0000 puffenstuff 206375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah not a fan of this either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206313 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:05:07 +0000 Theresa 206313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm I'm not a fan... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206311 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:03:36 +0000 NK 206311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Steph said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206307 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:00:51 +0000 bella 206307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Julie hit the nail on the head. It is a gorgeous look but only if the person is young enough that there is no way their natural hair could be like that. It must look deliberate, otherwise it doesn't work, imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206241 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:38:13 +0000 Steph 206241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The way I see it, you have such a short period of time in your life where you don't have to deal with grey hair, it seems sad to waste it by dying your hair grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206232 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:16:03 +0000 Beth 206232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Maya. Gray is so cool and flat that it seems to pull all the color and life out of a young face. </p> <p>Nay, a thousand times over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206231 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:14:37 +0000 Sharon 206231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I wrestled with this for a long time and grew out my hair to it's natural colour, which is now about 50% grey. The conclusion I came to was that I love the "pure grey" looks as pictured above, but salt-and-pepper just washes me out. I'm having it coloured on Thursday! Wish me luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206230 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:12:20 +0000 Steffie 206230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. Super fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206227 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:01:54 +0000 Kim 206227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm finally ahead of the style curve! I've been going grey since I was in my 30's! LOL</p> <p>I do however cover it up with my "natural color" as I'm only about 10 percent grey which doesn't really look all that great with my dark hair... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206221 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:46:54 +0000 Maya 206221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have had this discussion a few times in the past. I really don't like gray hair. I'm sorry I'm not more openminded, but I just don't think it looks good. It makes most complexions look ashen and dull compared to the warmth and shine that colored hair brings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206204 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:22:38 +0000 Debbie 206204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's taking so much effort to cover mine up. I cannot imagine doing it on purpose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206199 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:20:24 +0000 Louise 206199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sparky I'm joining you in not cancelling my colouring appointments. This probably looks great on those who aren't old enough to be grey. I did rather like Kelly Osbourne's lavender colour though x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206197 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:17:21 +0000 Sparky 206197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw Kate McMenamy with the gray hair worn loose in the August Vogue issue at the kids' hair salon today, and did a double-take. First time I'd seen that! I think it's a rather cool look. Not that I'm about to cancel my appointment to touch up my roots tomorrow . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-grey-hair-on-the-young#post-206189 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:09:06 +0000 RoseandJoan 206189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I do remember the grey streaks but she appeared to run off to her stylist the next day to have her hair redone. Maybe it only looks good if it is beyond all reasonable doubt that you don't have grey hair.<br /> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1246577/Hair-dye-disaster-Kate-Moss-reveals-greying-locks-handbag-launch.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvs.....aunch.html</a> </p>
