If you think of guys with gray hair as uncles, think again. I think there is a certain je ne sais quoi about gray-haired men that I really dig. Perhaps it has to do with the liberal peppering of gray that my husband sports currently but I have come to regard gray as good! That pepper-salt hair seems to indicate a bit of wisdom, speaks of a life well-lived and a certain self-confidence that indicates a man who is at ease with himself and feels no need for artifice.
We all know that men take longer than women to mature. The arrival of gray hair indicates maturity and a certain mellowness; a welcome sign that this is no longer the gauche, awkward and socially inept young man you used to know.
Imagine that same Ben Affleck as Batman, but with completely black hair. Would Batman have looked half as cool! Where is the worldly sophistication, the high cool quotient in that! Now his grays are so perfectly placed that they probably owe themselves more to artifice than nature; but who cares!
Even James Bond can have gray hair – the suave, smooth, irresistible, Martini-slugging guy with the license to kill and the toys to die for! So when Daniel Craig sports some grays when playing James Bond, you just know that gray is the way to go!
The old Matt LeBlanc in Friends was cute and likeable. This older one, with the liberal sprinkling of gray is irresistible! Guys are like wine; they get better with age, and the gray is proof of this!
This Latin phrase means, the thing speaks for itself. Observe Mahendra Singh Dhoni in past avatars with long hair and the misguided Mohawk; then check out the bold grays that he didn’t bother to hide and you get this man who has gained confidence over the years.
Even the looks and image-obsessed world of fashion has now embraced gray as the new black. So if you're a guy looking to keep up with the current trends, go gray!
Going naturally gray looks sooo much better than artificial colour! Don’t you think! And that contrast between a youthful face and gray hair…say it with me: irresistible!
Gray hair speaks about a guy who is completely at ease with himself; who is effortlessly charming and attractive. He is not vain and he doesn’t care who knows what his age is. That kind of self confidence along with an unusual absence of vanity is rare – and very attractive! So, go gray guys - you have nothing to lose but your black (hair).
