(FASHION) Don't Be Surprised if More Young Guys Start Choosing to Go Gray!

 

Zayn Malik's newly gray hair isn't the beginning of a trend so much as it is the confirmation of one existing.
When the former One Direction star introduced the world to his freshly dyed crop of gray hair on Tuesday night, he was co-signing a theory that The Telegraph highlighted in early May: that young guys are choosing to go gray early instead of anticipating the inevitable tonsorial shift from color to lack thereof.

Earlier this summer, the British paper reported that Amazon's sales of gray hair dye had increased some 80 percent, and speculated that young men buying the stuff wanted to look more like George Clooney or Anderson Cooper.

But the guys who are flocking to Amazon, or to the hair-care aisle at their local drugstores, for the dye aren't in danger of being mistaken as eligible for AARP membership. Instead, it's more likely that these very young guys—Malik is only 22—are going gray because it's a shocking departure from their natural color. Even if the results don't often look that great (one only need check the #grayhair hashtag on Instagram for evidence of this), making such a radical change is a daring move that's hard not to notice. And you don't have to face off with the paparazzi to know it.
