ahead of her time, a trailblazer cutting
a path through new territory. "Some 20
years ago while on a vacation in Mex-
ico, I was having my hair done in a hotel
beauty shop. A crowd of Mexican
women gathered around me as the hair-
dresser was combing my hair out. They
were murmuring 'naturella, naturella.'
Mexican women rarely let their gray
show through; they almost exclusively
choose to color their hair. I was a real
tourist attraction back then, but now,
it isn't unique. I know a lot of well
groomed, fastidious women who are
choosing to live with their gray."
But for every woman who is keeping
her gray — there seems to be an equal
number of men who are experimenting
with tints and dyes to cover it. Daniel
J. Soller, owner of Daniel J's Salon in
Farmington Hills, notes that many more
men are becoming regular tint
customers, especially those who are in
the public eye. "In the work force, youth
is still it!" he says. "I see men who get
a new sense of vitality from having their
hair tinted. Many of them experiment
with spot tinting, coloring the back and
the roots, leaving the gray show
through at the temples.
A lot of men seem to experiment
with hair color, but most do not feel the
same determination to stick with it.
John Kelly, local television personality
and co-host of "Kelly & Company,"
noticed his first gray hairs at age 25,
combing his dark blonde hair under
flourescent lighting on a train. "I
thought I had a fleck of something in
there, but in retrospect I probably
started graying at age 17."
For a time, Kelly experimented with
hair coloring, at the suggestion of the
show's hairdresser, tinting the back and
letting the sideburns remain gray, but
was unhappy with the look. "The
physical process is uncomfortable and
it had a false feel to it," he says.
"Besides, I feel that gray hair is very
distinguished — on men and women —
though it does develop a coarser, more
wiry texture," he says.
No one knows exactly why hair turns
gray, or why the texture changes.
Genetics, heredity, and diet all have a
part. Some famous mystery cases in-
volving aresnic poisoning have been
solved by doing an analysis of the pig-
ment of the hair, and there are the
romanticized stories of Marie Antoinette
going to the guillotine, turning snowy
white haired from her travails, at the ripe
old age of 35.
