Is this An April Fool's Joke?
Is the New York Times messing with our heads? (pun intended) Are young, trendy fashionistas really dying their hair gray? Discuss.
Dang...I had been letting my hair grow in gray for about 18 months, then about three months ago, I went back to brunette. I guess what I SHOULD have done is gone all the way gray instead! Oh, well, it's just like me to completely miss the trends!
I spend a lot of money going from gray to red. Maybe young people can get away with gray hair? I can't imagine what it looks like on a young face. No thanks!
Well good then, since my head is already liberally sprinkled with gray. Since I've never yearned to be trendy it just fits that I'm way ahead of the crowd!

If gray is in, I'll be saving big bucks in the haircolor budget. LOL!

I, too, thought it was an April Fools' joke. But, I am in NYC now and I saw some hip young things with dyed gray hair!
Seems silly..... But I must admit I am pleased. Now I look at my sprinkling of grays in a whole new way!
