I always wondered why people choose to dye their hair gray, but people with gray hair are shunned when they don't color their hair. So why is there a recent gray hair dye fad? Millennials are also often dying pink and purple into their gray hair . The science behind this fad begins with "a non-toxic chemical: 20Methoxymethyl-p-Phenylenediamine, otherwise referred to as ME+, which tricks the immune system into not thinking hair dye is an allergen and attacking it. This means that gray hair dye -- the harshest possible color a person can maintain -- is more accessible, less harsh, and possibly safer to handle, all thanks to a laboratory-induced molecular change." This relates back to the skin whitening in Ancient Greece , when people would push beauty standards to the next level where it is possibly dangerous.

Angelique Flores 9th- i actually liked the gray hair before it even became a "fad". I actually did the gray back in 2014 for the summer and it was a great color that truly stood out. I was planning on doing it again but it has been so hyped up that i am having some doubts.
ReplyDeletePeople still skin whiten today, a lot of darker people still do it because they have been brainwashed by the white standards of beauty so badly that they try to change their genes.
ReplyDeleteThe gray hair fad is actually kinda cute. I was suprised when everyone started dying their hair gray. I personally wish I could pull it off.
