Gray hair has become a tonal trend for millennials yet continues to be many a baby boomers worst hair nightmare. This finds generation X searching for their place between the shades.

The take over starts slowly. Gray hairs spring up one by one as they invade the natural pigment until suddenly they spread rapidly... in the temples, around the hairline and in the dreaded top part line. With no where left to hide those stubborn often wiry pigmentless hairs, one will pluck, (a big no no!), color, or force hair to part unnaturally in order to sweep them under the carpet. Battle won, gray in favor.
The color, especially for brunettes, is not the hair they were born with. low lights can add depth when dimension has disappeared.
Blondes can use a blending technique so maintenance is minimal. Time for platinum is now.
Redheads loose luster but can go from auburn to strawberry for a more natural, soft grow out.
The Gen X'ers, always the rebels at heart, aren't going to fight the same way as the generation before them, and are are creatively finding ways to enhance and glorify their grey, a retaliation all their own.
Give in but don't give up.
