Grey hair

Gray hair

It is the symbol of a life lived with its joys and sorrows, sometimes impoverishing the quality of the hair but not systematically.

Some proudly wear this new shade, while others hide it with dyes that are close to their original color.

This phenomenon of capillary aging is called canities. It is due to the decrease of melanin production and the keratinization process. It is almost inevitable even if it can be hidden thanks to the techniques of hairdressers.

Aside from heredity, certain events such as a great stress, illness, fatigue, can cause premature aging of the hair, which can occur overnight.

The Marie Antoinette syndrome thus refers to the unexpected whitening of the hair, in reference to that of the queen, the day before its execution on the scaffold in October 1793.

The history of the world is thus filled with these graying and dazzling events, just as certain sacred books predict them in the event of betrayal. The gray hair was thus associated for a long time with difficulty, decay, human misery, sordid representation of certain lifestyles, that the richest hastened to stalk and hide at the best hairdressers.

Fortunately, it is now fashionable to accept and assume it.

Accepting gray hair and even better "white" hair, means also to live his age fully, without complex, on the contrary displaying all the magnificence of this new hair that had to dare without necessarily looking like a grandfather or a grandmother.

Youthism is no longer appropriate, it is more important to feel good about yourself, to be healthy, play sports, regardless of one’s age.

There are, however, many products to revive this gray, knowing for example, that a blonde hair at the beginning may have a tendency to turn to an unsightly yellow. Pay attention also to the haircut, thickness and care to offer the best to hair which have been more or less damaged by time.

A trend that continues to emulate and seduce those who accept themselves.
