O svůj příběh se na Instagramu podělila i tato žena, kterou ve 37 letech přestalo bavit se barvit. Na své vlasy dokonce slýchává komplimenty.
“It wasn’t a well-thought out decision. I was just sick of dying my hair. So I stopped. I admit I did give it a few moments thought each month, but then by not really addressing it, it just happened. My hair was grey. tbh, only streaked with grey. But I was surprised at how much attention it got. Cashiers at Walgreens, who normally just blur through, ‘Are you a rewards member?’, were closing out interactions with an unexpected, ‘I really like your hair.’ Everywhere I went people were telling me how amazing my hair was. I was proud. I felt empowered. I felt I could be one small piece in updating beauty standards for women. And then I was grabbing a coffee with my friend who casually mentioned, ‘I like your hair.’ ‘A few women have told me I’m brave,’ I loftily replied. (They have.) ‘What?! That’s crazy. You’re not brave.’
My face fell.
‘It’s true. You work in the arts. You’re 37. And you have a serious boyfriend. In what way are you brave?’
After being initially crestfallen, I realized she was right. I can only rock my silver hair because I live in a rare bubble that allows me to.
Could you imagine a woman running for president with grey hair? I want to say yes, but currently I believe the answer is no. But I think by women embracing their grey, we can start to change the conversation. I’m hopeful that women in the near future will be able to wear their hair grey, pink, brown, or whatever they choose!” @brklynflora #grombre #gogrombre #grombabe
Třicetiletá Emiriana začala šedivět už v jedenácti letech. Od teenage let se barvila, aby ve třiceti přestala a zjistila, že vlastně své šedé vlasy miluje. Vnímá je jako součást osobnosti.

Jess je 37 a i ona se přestala barvit. Založila si na důkaz toho speciální instagramový účet, kde primárně sdílí jen své prošedivělé vlasy. Má úspěch a laiky sbírá po stovkách. Zdá se, že je na světě spousta žen, které právě takové influencerky potřebují.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommas out there
MD2020 was simple, but still lovely
This Mother’s Day, I get to celebrate being a 37yr. old mom who is unapologetically growing out her grey hair
P.S. I was taking pics for my Insta and my daughter had to get in on one with me #SilverFox #silversistersinternational #cottonhairedwomen #grombre #grombabe #goinggrey #goingsilver #freethesilver #silverandfree #embracethegrey #youngandgrey #sparklingsilvers
Čerstvá maminka Nicole nevede svůj instagramový účet za účelem popularizace šedin. Ale i jí se toto téma týká a šediny se rozhodla neskrývat. První stříbrné vlasy začala pozorovat ve třinácti a jsou důležitým tématem v průběhu celého jejího života. Na jejích těhotenských fotografiích vynikají a nutno podotknout, že jí sluší.
I wasn't going to get bump photos but glad we did at the last minute; at 38 weeks, little did we know I'd go into labour the very next day! I loved being pregnant and giving our little guy his first cozy home to grow. : @deedee_design_photography
První stříbrné vlasy potkaly tuto ženu už ve dvaceti. Byla od přírody blondýna a nechtěla se své vize sexy blondýnky s dokonale lesklými loknami vzdát. Přesto se tak stalo. Přijala svůj přirozený vzhled a je ráda, že už nemusí vrážet horentní sumy za úpravy svých vlasů.
“Growing up I naturally had dirty blonde hair, but then at the young age of 20 I spotted my first silver.
I was disgusted at the sight and plucked it out. I was always striving to be this blonde bombshell with perfect highlights to cover the many random silver strands. After years of covering and fighting with my hair dresser about the tones of blonde, I realized I wanted a tone I already owned genetically.
Today I no longer have any processed bleached strands. The silver is coming through as natural highlights and most can’t even tell. I can though. My confidence is much higher knowing that I can be just as beautiful without bleaching and having to spend hundreds of dollars on my hair. I anticipate after this quarantine a lot of women thinking about throwing away the box! Don’t question it! Just do it.
I’m working as a funeral director and mortician during this weird time and making a hair appointment is not on my list of things to do when it’s over! PS. Stay home and go grey!” @mortuary_sisters #grombre #gogrombre #grombabe
Jessica se s šedivými vlasy potýkala už od deseti, ale nikdy se nerozhodla je obarvit. Dnes je jí 24 a spokojila se už i s tím, že její vlasy jsou přirozeně kudrnaté.
"I'm 24 years old. I started to grey when I was around 10 years old. Though I battled the insecurities of having grey hair at such a young age, I never dyed it. At 24, I love it and am curious what it will be like down the line. I also had to learn to love my curly hair, and now I'm proud to have both." @jessmcarey #grombre #gogrombre #grombabe
Becky bere svůj vzhled s nadsázkou. Pracuje jako učitelka a studenti její stříbrné vlasy milují. Připomíná jim postavu z pohádky Frozen. I ona začala šedivět ve dvaceti, ale barvení odmítla.
“I got yelled at by a man in a deli for supposedly dying my hair gray. He said it looked so unnatural. I just laughed. I went gray in my 20s and kept it. My young students really love it. They think I’m a character from Frozen.” @themeditationfactory #grombre #gogrombre #grombabe
Už jako dítě si Heather obarvila vlasy na netradiční odstín. Byla rebelka. Dnes přiznává, že největší rebelství vidí v tom nechat vlasy šedivé. Ale nebrání se občasnému úletu – s oblibou použije fialový nebo růžový přeliv.
“When I was 12 I dyed my hair from my natural light brown to blue black as a way to rebel and have been playing with colors on my hair ever since. When I started looking in the mirror and thinking: oh, time to make an appointment - you can see the gray, I realized I was done. The rebel in me now is rebelling against the beauty standard saying women have to remain impossibly young to be attractive while men with gray are distinguished and handsome. It wasn't easy or instantaneous though - seeing all the gorgeous women going #grombre empowered me immensely. Now I can only hope women who see me feel like it is okay to opt out of the double-standard-beauty-hustle if they want too. Also, the color play doesn't have to end here - as you can see, I am not against throwing in a wash of temporary purple for fun at times too!”
