Whether they started greying in their teens or are at the cusp of the middle years, many Black women are choosing to rock their greys.Does grey hair make you feel old for your age?
Do you think it makes a Black woman look more distinguished (think Donna Brazile)?
While you may not obsess about it, most of us need practical advice whether we choose to dye our greys or keep them untouched.
In general, black hair can be vulnerable to over-processing. If you are like most of us, you are processing your hair in some way (either straighteners, hot combs, or a combination). If you have a weave, you'll find yourself watching out for new growth AND greys.
What can a Black woman do to keep her grey hair untouched beautiful and healthy?
- Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Make sure that you use natural oils such as olive oil and coconut oil in addition to your store-bought moisturizers.
- Get a great hair cut or style! Just because your hair is grey doesn't mean that you should have a dowdy cut.
- Keep your trims up to date! Grey hair can be dry and break easily.
- Accessorize! Get fabulous with a beautiful scarf or ethnically-inspired jewelery.
