Gray Hair Wisdom

Sticking out horizontally, wiry, stubborn, never taking no for an answer, never taking a backseat, refusing to be quieted, or shunned. That gray hair that pops it’s way out of any gel, pins, clips, refuses to stay dyed or tucked underneath is what we need to learn from.

Those gray hairs that sometimes get celebrated with titles such as “salt and pepper,” “blue hair” and snow white, while others try to cover them up with toxic dye, henna washes or plucked out hoping to defy logic and transcend them back to their original color.

Guess what? White/gray is the new “original color.” As our hair changes, we should as well. We should dare to be the type of ladies that are wiry to injustice, never take no for an answer when it comes to what our years on this planet have taught us to be right and wrong. We should refuse to be quieted, shunned or stay tucked in an intellectual corner. Celebrate those grays, lady friend! They are honor badges only granted and sported by those willing to live according to their rules. Not the fashion industry, not the media, not that judgy-judgy neighbor next door or at the office. To them, I say kiss my gray! My grays will not be tamed and neither will I.
