Society has always accepted a woman\u2019s choice to cover up her gray hair as a method to maintain a youthful appearance. From the time we were little, we struggled with what gray hair represented because that\u2019s what we were taught. A woman couldn\u2019t be young and powerful and ambitious with gray hair.<\/p>\n
By the time we were teenagers, we plucked everyone we saw. When the grays became more noticeable, our struggle transitioned into the salon and under the guidance of a beauty professional. As we aged, salon visits became more frequent as we fought a battle that always resulted in a loss, never truly covering the gray as fast as it grew in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When Covid pressed pause on the world, we were forced back inside our homes. Nothing to do and nowhere to go meant our beauty routines changed. Things like makeup and hair color quickly became afterthoughts, and women began unexpected transformations. Hair grew longer. Grays followed with gusto. And when salons re-opened, many of us didn\u2019t go back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Something changed within us. We emerged different and transformed and way more accepting of the things we learned in the silence. Being in lockdown forced women to be comfortable with themselves. Self-care became a priority, and the focus on external beauty turned inward. No longer concerned with what was fashionable or falling in line with social norms, many women decided to forgo color permanently and began embracing their natural roots\u2026grays and all. Celebrities such as Kelly Ripa, Salma Hayek and Hillarie Burton were vocal on social media about their gray roots growing in, posting selfies to let their followers know that they too knew the struggle and had accepted it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Going back to your roots is as empowering as it is liberating. It frees you from frequent trips to the salon anytime those stubborn gray hairs peek through. Hair becomes healthier when it isn\u2019t subjected to the damage caused from bleach and chemical dyes. And think of all the money you\u2019ll save instead of spending it on highlights and balayage and base color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The transition isn\u2019t always easy. Depending on your hair length, it can take a while. But once you commit, there are products like Go Gray<\/b> to ensure you maintain the integrity of your hair as you embark on the journey.
