Celebrity Colorist Helps Women To Stop Covering Their Grey Roots And Embrace Their Natural Hair (35 New Pics)
It seems contradictory that we, as human beings, spend a lifetime imagining what we can do to live long, while avoiding as much as possible the physical signs of aging. Wrinkles, expression marks and the ever-remembered white hair are often pursued by a society that aims at old age, but not its implications.
American hairstylist Jack Martin is someone who doesn't think so. As a celebrity colorist, he believes he has a mission to show men, and especially women, the power and beauty of beautiful gray hair. They are the biggest victims of the dictatorship of beauty: how many men have been praised for being gray and how many women have heard that they got older with white hair? Complex, isn't it? Jack believes that embracing one's natural hair color is a way to break free from societal expectations and to celebrate aging gracefully.

I think that is a lot of these instances these women just lack someone reminding them of how beautiful they really are... They will have it now.

She looks like she's in her late 20's to early 30's (in both pix actually!) but with the gray she looks amazing!

Very pretty. So many women feel that they have to sacrifice their self and personal sexiness to be a mommy, and this is not the case. But I can imagine that it all does require a vast amount of energy...

Mav mav, these are all people who had been covering up their NATURAL grey hair, and decided they wanted to embrace that, not people who wanted to dye their hair grey

Most of these pictures are very misleading. Notice how the 'before' pics are usually taken in unflattering poses, unsmiling, without makeup. Then the 'after' pics are taken with full makeup, smiling, deliberate poses to minimize camera distortions, and possibly even photoshopped. All of which is to ensure that the 'after' picture looks better than the before regardless.

I’ve been transitioning to grey for a year now. These photos are all well and good, but if your natural colour is darker, as mine is, colouring grey ie lightening hair is very damaging. I think I’ll stick with the natural process and end up with grey, healthy hair.

yes they are mostly just bad dye job to good dye job. It would be different if they were going to 'natural' color.

I don't really like my natural hair color ( dark ash blonde ) so I don't cover my gray hair anymore. It's there, I'm almost 45, so: Gray hair, don't care.... Plus I've had some compliments that it's kind of sexy like it is :)

Same, I shaved my head right before the pandemic to start over with my grey. Love it!
