What do you think of the trend of Young people intentionally dying their hair gray, silver and white?

Usually when people reach the age of mid 30's, gray, silver and white hair starts showing up. Many people hated these ashy hair colors because it is a sign of aging. So they either pluck it or dye it to more youthful colors. Recently though I notice the hair color that many older people despise is now becoming a trend. People as young as 15 to mid twenties are intentionally dying their hair the color of aging. I hate my grays, When I have budget dye them and if I have no budget I pluck them. This trend though makes me keep my grays. People wont think I am getting older, they will think I just follow this silly trend. This trend seemed to inspire some older people to embrace their grays, whites and silvers since young people are now desiring these colors.

I've seen this on many people, and all that I have seen look beautiful. It depends on the individual's skin tone. I do think it looks a lot better then those gaudy amber and maroon colours that some tried to pull off a few years ago. A lot of people want what nature failed to deliver, and this is no different.

The Ombre and Unicorn hair colors made me cringe. Especially the Unicorn onces because it looks like wig made of cotton candy.

Isnt it funny that kids now wanted to have them. If I can only exchange my grays to youthful Dark brows and jet blacks.

I am in favour of Nature taking its course. I have a few grey hairs at the temples but most of my hair still has colour at the age of 66. It has receded to give me a high forehead but there is still plenty on top - unlike my 25-year-old son who is going distinctly thin! I wonder what happened there? I know absolutely nothing about my natural father, so maybe a gene has jumped a generation! Personally I have absolutely no objection to people colouring their hair any way they like. I think properly silver hair on a young person can look stupendous!

I use to dye abuse my hair because I fear having the grays but I realize that I am blessed with thick healthy hair. So I do not need to fry it with chemicals. This trend made me stop dying my mane for a while. I hope this trend continues.

It looks good on some youngsters. I haven't used hair dye of any colour at all. I am reluctant to do so. Its all chemical. But I might some day

It's a funny trend because so many young people practice ageism.

@CaptAlbertWhisker i have a single strand of white hair. But it disappears. 26 is still too young for white hair right?

I used to be like you about making sure to cover my gray hair. The older I got the more grayer it got, so I was always having to dye it. One day I said the heck with it and let it grow out to the point that I could have all the dyed hair cut off and I no longer dye it. My hair is now more gray then black, but I don't care, I think dying your hair all the time damages it in the long run.

@CaptAlbertWhisker That was my problem, I was having to put dye in my hair about every other week, after years and years of doing this I just got tired of it.

@sweetashoney I heard there is now a stemcell technology being developed to cure the grays but I dont think I will afford it.

I heard there is now a shampoo in the market that puts melanin on the grays but I am not sure it works, I saw a commercial of it on tv. dying is nice at first but after few days the roots exposes the grays. I look like a 19 year old without my grays, that's why I wanna keep them away for now.

I find it funny. I don't dye my hair at all . . . but hey, with this cool hair cut I have now, my REAL grays do look super trendy cool .

@CaptAlbertWhisker The thing is with the young'uns who do it, it looks so unnatural on them. Mine is the real deal - and I am lucky that it looks kinda like stripes (Pepe le Pew is an extreme example - mine isn't like his - but it's clustered similarly though I'm not that gray yet).

Seriously I wish all whippersnappers dye their hair gray so it wont be a symbol of aging anymore.

It's one of the reasons I shave my head. I figure, 'I'm going to lose it all & be bald anyway (although I can't think of any of my forefathers who went bald), might-as-well gent rid of it & let people get used to "bald Jay" early '

I don't have the balding problem because I am genetically hairy. I have issues with grays though because I got them in a young age. I only shave my head during summer.

I think it works to some people who have a more youthful bone structure.

Mine began to turn white in the front in my thirties but I am not gonna pull my hair out . About 5 years ago I went with the blonde, but I am a light brown naturally, so its not to bad. But I now have this mixture of light brown, gray and while, with the blonde hair dye. Its not what I want but what I have. I do the roots about every other month. OH I like the trend.

Months I am plucking my grays and whites to have all black hair because dying them annoys me because the roots have different colors. Now I am so sick and tired of it.

@andriaperry My hair is an aggressive grower, If I shave my head today, I will have early 2000's Prince Harry look by 2 months. So yeah I have to dye the roots every week.

I just think it is a waste for the young people to dye their hair the color of aging. They already have beautiful hair and it is natural.

Well, I did not know it is trendy, but I am glad to know that my silver hair are trendy. As I do not show my age, people always ask me if I dyed my hair because they love the color so much.

On a recent celebrity red carpet, Almost every single celebrity on the party have this hair color. I actually wanted this trend to continue because it gives older people a favor.

I just see it as any other color. Like if they would dye it green , purple, whatever, all same to me. I dont conect it to aging coz its looking different when its natural gray, you can tell which is which.

Natural grays usually have a salt and pepper effect since they are a minority but very visible
