6 Celebrities Who’ve Shown Off Their Gray Hair Journeys

Here’s the thing that nobody will tell you about going gray: You don’t need to pick how you react right away. You might pluck the silver strand out and pretend it never existed (it’ll just grow back, by the way). Or, you might think you need to swear off hair color for the rest of your life to embrace the new grays. The third option? You’re more than welcome to go back and forth, a path that’s been well worn by the many celebrities going gray currently. One month, you might love the salt-and-pepper look, or how light roots contrast your natural color. The next, you could be all in on bleach and hair dye.
