I think she looks wonderful with the gray. I tell everyone that I would kick Miss Clairol to the curb if I could wake up tomorrow morning with a head full of beautiful gray/silver hair but mine is coming in spotty and I really hate the way it looks on me so, I'll continue to color.
Amen sister. I tried to go gray and stay that way but the gray didn't match my personality and energy and friends and family encouraged me to keep coloring….I envy Dana looking so good, and her courage to go gray in her line of work.
Hi! im 23 years old but i think you're website is great. I don't know when I'll go gray, although both my parents did in their early 30's but I feel like gray is gorgeous. My mom's not brave enough to do it but I think I'll have it in me. Although I agree with the ladies above if its spotty it doesn't look good but that would be true of any color.
The gray hair is yummy on Dana but I think she would be sexier with longer hair!
She is absolutely beautiful! What an inspiration! Lovely, lovely, lovely!
jcz1234, we agree!
What we are missing is that we still live in a culture where it is considered OK to discriminate against people who bear the visible signs of aging (read: continued life). I'm Black and would never consider plastic surgery on my face or treatments to kill the melanin that colors my skin–Michael Jackson did and we know how badly it ended for him. I wouldn't do it because that would be cowtowing to bigotry.
Discrimination against people based on skin color–or hair color–is ignorant, mean-spirited, small and stupid. The discriminators seem to forget that–as long as they keep breathing–they're going to end up in their 40's, 50's, 60's and beyond. I'm sure they'll hope, when they are at the tender mercies of younger age-bigots, they'll go a little easier on them than they went on us.
Discrimination against anybody about anything is just plain old fear. It is never, ever about the targeted individual. Thanks for your comments, Lalita.
This trend will probably gather strength as the Baby Boomers age while still staying in the workforce and in the public eye. Great, I say! I am 43, going gray rapidly, intending to stay dye-free, and happy to be the age I am. Just my opinion: for many women, it seems that it isn't the gray but the short hairstyles that age us. I recently tried a pixie cut and I look ten years older. Whoops! But Dana looks lovely short, gray or not. What a great story.
Dana is no longer the news anchor at CBS-KPIX 5. Did she retire? Get laid off because of her stunning gray hair? Fired? Anyone? She's only 52. A bummer there is no longer a gray-be on the air anymore.
