Halloween is one of America’s most beloved holidays. This fall, Americans are predicted to spend more than $11 billion on Halloween costumes, decorations, and candy. But why do we love Halloween so much?  

Regardless of age, wearing a costume may help us temporarily escape our sense of self. For better or worse, we enjoy the freedom and secrecy granted by trying on another identity, even if only for one evening.  

If you ever wondered how you would look if you were to go completely gray, Halloween is a great time to be daring with wigs and/or temporary hair color to see how you feel without committing long-term. Gray hair can enhance a wide range of costumes, from witches to wizards, adding a unique twist while helping you stand out in a crowd. There are countless characters to draw inspiration from, including Freya the Ice Queen, Elsa from Frozen, Marie Antoinette, or Cruella de Vil.  

Halloween encourages bold choices, so you might feel more confident trying something new to help you determine how you might feel about it in your everyday life. No doubt you’ll get plenty of feedback from friends and family, which can help you decide if you really want to ditch the dye. 

Embracing your gray hair makes a powerful statement of self-acceptance and confidence. Whether you are a newbie exploring the early stages of regrowth or have been in this game for a while, the Go Gray system works in stages to fade and remove hair color, to ensure you maintain the integrity of your hair as you embark on your gray journey. 

Be bold and play gray this Halloween to help you decide if you really want to ditch the dye for a fabulous new look!
