Not elder law: Gray is beautiful
Once upon a time, women would curse their gray hair and reach for the dye to cover it up. Orthey’d eventually cave in and drench themselves in that ghastlypurplish-blue rinse – the one that turns the shade of the RockyMountains at dusk. It was like the mark of the old-age beast. But with salt falling on their heads like a blizzard, baby boomers are,as usual, opting to do it their way. So long, stigma, hello gray. It’s a fashion statement showing up more and more, even in Hollywood(think of a classy-looking Meryl Streep in “The Devil Wears Prada” orthe radiant Helen Mirren at the Oscars). “Baby boomers aren’t afraid. They led the way in coloring hair and nowthat they are older, they don’t hesitate not to color their haireither,” says Greg Chavez, owner of J. Gregory Salon, an upscale spotin Colorado Springs, Colo.
