Silver hair

[Chris S]

A pair of adolescent girls were standing in front of me in a queue yesterday - they'd both dyed their hair grey. Apparently its the latest trend. I wonder how it took off? I thought the whole idea of the beauty industry was to make women look younger.

My hair grows out of my head silver. Has done since I have been 16. Sometimes I like it, at the moment, I don't have have dyed it a mucky blonde colour.

I cannot see what this 'trend' is all about. Why would anyone want 'pensioner hair' when they are in their 20s.

I have blonde hair, but I've been going grey slowly since I was about 54. Im not bothered by it. I have no Intention of dyeing it. I don't see why people would deliberately want grey hair though. Seems a bit like the pink or blue brigade.

Arguably 3, if one counts 'Emmylou' as a ridiculously fabricated compound name.

I started to get silver highlights in my early twenties, never thought about dying it.

A bloke at work was really silvery and aged about fifty, he was persuaded to dye it black for some charity event and looked hilarious as the colour didn't match the age of his face. After a few days he shaved the lot off.

On a lady though silver hair can be very nice when it's cut well and in good condition, I quite like it.

I don't blame you, it would've cost a fortune in dye by now.

Ahem Mr stephec, but you have more grey hair than I do...

I didn't used to mind the silver until someone asked if I was a pensioner, like her. Woman was at least 70. Then she asked if I'd had a hard life. I ran a blonde rinse through the next day and my hair has been between arctic blonde (silver) or a pale dirty blonde and tones in between ever since.
Recently it was natural but everyone and their dog has hair that colour at the moment.

Fashion eh?

 

[tyred]

Hair? I remember that. I would settle for grey

 

[vernon]

I've been teaching grey haired sixth form girls for the past ten years. Hair dyed grey is a far from new fashion trend.

I think that it's a great look.

I've threatened to have my hair and beard dyed grey.

Mrs Vernon has threatened divorce.

I have silver highlights, and I have it dyed in for the more mature look.
