Going Gray: Embrace Your Inner Silver Fox in Your 20s

What could be more iconic than activist and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda striding out onto the Oscars stage to present the Best Pictures award in a perfectly styled silvery-gray pixie? Not much else can compete with her, but we can certainly try!

Grey hair emerged about five years ago as a trend innovated by top designers Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Gareth Pugh. Not only did it give younger women a new look to try; it also helped older women find acceptability in mainstream fashion for their graying locks. However, there’s no harm in bringing some silver fox fierceness for women in their twenties.

Here’s what we think about how to make the transition:

Ask the Experts

First, you should get a consultation with your cosmetologist to see if your hair needs any maintenance before you bleach and dye them. It’s possible that your current hair might not be in the best shape. A trim or conditioning treatment may be in order.

You can also ask your salon for a hair restoration program, which you can get regularly over the course of a year after your hair color treatment. This will help with the damage that bleach can do to fine hair.

Make a Change — Not the Cut

You don’t have to sacrifice your sleek length in order to work silver hair. In fact, we think that longer is better. Indulge in gray hair extensions that will fill out the body of your hair. Gray hair looks great in updos and braids — pixies and bobs aren’t the only options. However, make sure that you get the copper loc extension system because it causes the least amount of damage.

You can even ask your cosmetologist to do some basic styling in your hair; a simple braid or a small bun. This will really give you a feel for long locks of silvery-gray.

Go All-Natural

Products matter immensely when it comes to treating hair with chemicals. The general understanding in the industry is that sulfates and silicones are bad for your hair. You should check in with your salon to make sure that they use product lines that are made using natural herbal ingredients.

An organic all-natural product line will make sure that any hair treatment you get will not cause undue stress on your hair. Your hair should never feel like it’s about to split after getting it colored.
