Just as well because covering up is hard work.
Wherever you look these days, you stumble across that message; " Grey is beautiful ". It's alright for some, but when it hits you personally...
Oh, you get the select / anointed / lucky few who look amazing with the " short & grey " do. But for the rest of us, it can be a bit of a gamble to follow that crowd. What if the " short & grey " actually makes you look it ?
The few that somehow, grey prematurely have an excuse. They can even wave their birth certificates in front of doubters. For the rest of us, sadly I have to acknowledge that grey puts a stamp on us.
Nature is mostly kind and gives us a lot of time to get used to it. Usually it sends little forerunners ( a grey streak here or there ). Those can either be cleverly disguised ( oh, Salons need to make a living too ), ruthlessly pulled out or explained away " look, a sign of maturity "...
At times the " grey-coverage " on TV is rather funny. Spotting men who cover up is sadly, quite obvious. Bad colour jobs bear fruit of this. Even some politicians are lured by the stroke of this supposedly " brush of youth "...
Those in the trade ( in my past ) know the golden rule : As you get older, your hair colour should go lighter ! Staying a youthful dark brown or blue black in your seventies, can at times be kind of " iffy "...
On the whole, I don't mind seeing those little reminders of my maturity. But when you see it in a bad ( bright ) light, it takes some getting used too.
Never mind nature's revenge: Have you also noticed that most men look even better once they start cultivating the grey-do ?
