Is a short haircut the best way to embrace your grey hair color?

When an actress wants to make a bold statement, she cuts off all of her hair to create a dramatic new look, but should you do the same to show off your grey hair color? Some celebs have made the boy-cut look absolutely fantastic (think Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina), but are you ready for such a bold move? One blogger wrote about her own personal story, when she decided that for her 47th birthday she was going to give herself the gift of being bold: she cut off all her hair and let the natural grey hair color shine.

When her husband saw it and she asked him what he thought, she heard two heart-stopping words: Barbara Bush.

Has any woman ever been less like Audrey Hepburn?

Grey hair color

Grey hair color is a bane to many women. Studies show that premature grey hair is on the rise, and more and more women have to face grey before they celebrate their thirtieth birthdays. By the time you get to age 50, chances are very high that you’ve got at least a few grey hairs – but you’ve also got a good chance of being totally grey underneath all that grey hair dye.

There’s a stigma that comes with having grey hair color. Many women immediately think of themselves as old when they find their first grey hair. Having an entire head full of grey hair color can be very traumatic indeed. Should you shock your sense (and your spouse) by embracing a short-short ‘do that will boldly change up your style?

If you do, you’re going to have to deal with your grey hair color. The grey will be a lot easier to see if your hair is very short, and you could wear yourself out with salon appointments and grey hair treatments to keep those roots covered.

Hair inspiration

Going very short can be a liberating hair experience. Styling time is minimized, and with a little mouse you can go from a wild, fun style to a sleek, elegant look in a matter of moments. It takes only moments to add a few curls, and with barrettes and other hair accessories you can add color and interest. If you opt for a modern, jagged cut, you can avoid the Barbara Bush look. There are lots of beautiful women who have gone super short and who would never be considered to be little old ladies.

Feeling bold? Look to famously short-sheared beauties for hair inspiration, and think about what a super-short haircut might do for your look. Mia Farrow, Emma Watson and Halle Berry are known for being gorgeous and glamorous, and they have all famously sported super-short locks on the red carpet and everywhere else. Jamie Lee Curtis has gone grey beautifully, letting her grey hair color shine proudly in a super-short look to become an icon for vibrant women everywhere. And if you want a truly timeless look, you need go no further than Diana, Princess of Wales, a short-sheared beauty who personified glamor, grace and hair glory.
