Silver-Haired Beauties: Gray Can Be Beautiful

What do Vanessa Redgrave, Jamie Lee Curtis, Catherine Loewe, Dame Helen Mirren, and Maya Angelou have in common? Well, I’ll tell you… they’re all silver-haired beauties. From Hollywood actresses like Diane Keaton and Glenn Close to models like Kate Moss and singer-musicians like Emmy Lou Harris, women around the world are embracing their gray hair and showing everyone that gray can be beautiful and sexy.

Although I color my hair {because my gray hair is really a mousy brownish-black wire-y mess of curls and frizz}, I love how some women embrace their gray hair and make it part of their signature look. For example, take a look at Stacy London with her silver streak! Or what about Jamie Lee Curtis? She actually stopped coloring her hair and made her gray-haired pixie cut her signature look.

“When I was approaching 60, I got sick of being blonde, so I decided to stop coloring my hair. I grew out the gray and I cut it short. People said, “You’ll never work again with short gray hair,” but it came out white and everybody loved it. I got a billboard in Times Square for Target and a billboard in Madison Square Garden for Verizon and my career took off.” – Model Maye Musk
