This hairdresser is helping people to embrace their grays - here are his 12 best transformations
Aging is a natural thing that we’ll all experience eventually, so it’s a mystery to us why more people don’t choose to embrace it like an old friend. From slapping on the anti-aging products to covering up grey roots and considering surgery to hide our wrinkles, too many of us take extreme measures to attempt to deceive people of our real age.
After a while, making the time and effort to look younger can get quite tedious. And women who are utterly fed up with the chore of dying their hair to cover their greys have decided it’s time for a change – and they’ve enlisted Californian hairstylist Jack Martin for the job.
Here are 12 of Martin’s most impressive grey hair transformations.
1. Glamour chic
This lady was clearly a glamour queen anyway, but we personally think that grey hair suits her more. Just look how pretty! Martin has even included streaks like you would on a balayage.
2. Silver goddess
There’s something majestic about tight silver curls. While we were already fans of this woman’s dip-dye ombre-effect hair, we do prefer the all-over silver that Martin has created. Her hair makes a beautiful statement.
3. A touch of blue
Who said there was only one shade of grey? Martin clearly knows how to color hair based on the original color. In this case, he’s added a touch of blue to this client’s originally black dyed hair.
4. Elegant and understated
Grey hair is usually understated for bad reasons – it can look dull and lifeless without the right treatment. Martin has dyed this client’s hair to give it a touch of elegance, without being too standout. It looks much better than the original color.
5. From blonde to grey
Blonde hair is the easiest type to transition to a light grey color. Martin has styled this client’s hair straight, and the grey really does look a lot better without the frizz. The color is much prettier than the before, too.
6. Beautiful pixie
This client’s hair didn’t quite have the right shape to it, so as well as dying it a stunning silver, Martin styled it into a fresh pixie cut. Just look at the confidence radiating from her smile on the after picture!
7. Anti-aging
We’re surprised that the before and after images are showing even the same woman in this case. Her grey hair knocks years off her age. Who said grey hair was a sign of aging?
8. Fresh waves
Some people, like this client, have the sort of skin tone that suits grey far better than brunette. She looks much younger on the second image, and her hair is beautiful.
9. Rapunzel hair
Anyone who’s grown their hair long will know how challenging it is to have even a bit of it cut off. Martin managed to save this client’s long locks and transform them into a hairstyle Rapunzel would be jealous of.
10. Bouncy bob
Martin is certainly an expert in giving shape to hair. Not only did he produce a beautiful silver-grey color for this client’s hair, but he also created a bouncy bob that suits her face shape perfectly. That’s it: we’re convinced to dye our own hair grey.
11. Adding life
When your hair starts to look tired, there’s nothing like a treatment at the hair salon to sort it out. Martin proves that adding grey can literally give life to dull, uninteresting hair. This client is a great example.
12. Redhead to grey
This might be one of Martin’s most impressive colors to date: red to silver, seamlessly. It’s ironic how many women who have been fighting aging actually look so much younger with grey hair.
