I’ve obviously got hair on the brain this week, after looking at Rachael’s new hair tumblr, then watching ‘Good Hair’, the srsllement brilliant Chris Rock docu and now Kirsten McMenamy’s long and lustrous locks in Vogue. I have a bit of a thing for grey hair, completely grey hair is so cool. There used to be two local women who caught my eye when I lived in Brighton, one had the a pasty sweaty complexion and greasy, lanky grey hair but it somehow looked amazing and I always wanted to take a whole roll of film of her. The other had short, bobbed grey hair, a small but sporty body and the kind of tan you get when you spend a lot of time on boats. Such beautiful fashion conundrums just going about their business in the street, I’ll never forget you!
Err, anyway where was I… Grey hair and a tan is a no brainer, the silver against warm olive skin, but Kirsten makes it work with a millky complexion. It’s such a dramatic look, and so much more elegant than dodgy dye jobs. Apparently the earlier you go grey the less likely you are to go bald, which is an even bigger reason to love grey. I hope I go full on grey and not that salt and pepper shit, then I think I can get a youthful asymmetric haircut.
