Soon people were commenting on my hair (seemingly) constantly and it was starting to get in the way of my lifelong goal of being less visible, so I had to do something! I researched and found what seemed like a great diy dye-alternative, henna. At first it was great, though time consuming, because it gave me the red hair I'd always wanted and covered the gray, but eventually I grew tired of the process and the uncertainty of what color my hair would be, because the sometimes resulting orangey color didn't do it for me. Around the same time, I'd moved to New York on a whim and had no access to my hair inventory, so I stopped with the henna. I didn't hate the white hair at first, but as time went on and it became clear that I had a lot more than I'd thought, I started itching to cover it up again. Thus entering the world of at-home-box dyes. At first, it seemed harmless, but I now realize that's because of what we've been made to believe about dye and so much else that we put on and in our bodies and hair, but I degrees. About a year later, after coming to grips with the effects, I dyed my hair for the last time, reasoning that I'd rather have gray hair than thinner (than what genetics has already given me) hair. It has been a long and difficult journey of acceptance which I'm still on, but I've accepted my gradient and "ombre" hair as a part of who I am. And though it has effectively made me a walking invitation for commentary, including when a man once called me my 1.5 years younger sister's mother 🙄, most of what people have to say is complementary and affirming. I've since added going or "rocking" gray to my list of ways to challenge current standards of beauty, and to live authentically. It's a journey that I encourage the initiated to take. It's not easy but it's worth it. Peace on your journey!" @loevnotes #grombre #gogrombreUna publicación compartida de Going grey with (grohm)(bray) (@grombre) el 3 Sep, 2018 a las 2:59 PDT

Tendemos a pensar que las canas aparecen en la vejez. Y efectivamente puede ser una señal de envejecimiento, pero lo cierto es que en la mayoría de las europeas las primeras aparecen en torno a la veintena.

Son también otro buen ejemplo de doble rasero: mientras en los hombres han estado tradicionalmente bien vistas (quedan hasta distinguidas), entre las mujeres son consideradas signo de dejadez. Aunque gracias a iniciativas como esta o a celebrities como Rashida Jones o Carolina Labouchere, que las lucen orgullosas, el movimiento procana coge fuerza.
