Granny Hair is a Thing Now

Are you ready for  another questionable fashion statement.?  "Granny Hair" is now in vogue.

While gray hair certainly fits on us older ladies, Now some of the young ones are dying their hair gray. Fashion designers started it with their runway models, and celebrities followed suit.

Lady Gaga, Pink, Rihanna, Nicole Ritchie and Kelly Osborne, are sporting the gray, white or lavender locks.  Now there are thousands of women around the world turning gray and posting pictures on social media sites under "#grannyhair". Here are a couple from the "grannyhair" Facebook.

According to New York hair stylist Jan-Marie Arteca, "granny hair" is basically any tone of gray in your hair: steel gray, silvery gray, really, really white, platinum-ish with either violet or silver undertones," "That's the trend."

Many fashion blogs and magazines say the look is the "hottest" hair color trend for 2015.

Going gray can take a long time, at least two hours to bleach the natural hair and then longer still to add the new color. As long as seven hours for some, that would be three bleaches and two color applications.

"Granny hair" can cost from  $200 up to $700, depending on hair color and condition. Touch-ups are required about every four weeks.

Wouldn't it be cool if every woman in the world had gray hair?

Until then, this will remain my faithful friend for a while!
