Ξεχάστε το Ombre, η μόδα θέλει Grombre: Αφήστε τη ρίζα σας γκρι

Γκρι μαλλιά στις γυναίκες. Ένα από τα πιο έντονα ταμπού σχετικά με το πώς πρέπει να είναι οι γυναίκες μεγαλώνοντας, αναγκάζοντάς τες να βάφουν διαρκώς τα μαλλιά τους, τη ρίζα κυρίως, προκειμένου να μη δείχνουν «μεγάλες» ή «σπασμένες» ή «γριές».

Κι όμως, αυτή η οπισθοδρομική τάση που βεβαίως αφορά μόνο τις γυναίκες, φαίνεται ότι σπάει με πολύ πολύ μικρά βήματα. Και αυτά τα βήματα ονομάζονται «grombre», ο συνδυασμός δηλαδή του grey και του ombre, της τάσης δηλαδή να είναι διαφορετικό χρώμα η ρίζα από το υπόλοιπο μαλλί.

«Σκεφτείτε τις ώρες και τα χρήματα που σπαταλάτε

στα κομμωτήρια αποδεχόμενες το ταμπού που περιβάλλει κάτι απόλυτα φυσιολογικό και φυσικό. Γιατί πρέπει να είναι έτσι τα πράγματα;» αναφέρει η 26χρονη Μάρθα Τρούσλοου Σμιθ που αποφάσισε να δημιουργήσει μία σελίδα στο Instagram, με το όνομα gromble ως ένα μέρος στήριξης και θετικότητας για εκείνες τις γυναίκες που επιλέγουν να πουν όχι στη βαφή μαλλιών.

“I got married last year. I had people saying ‘you should dye your hair for your wedding. You’ll regret it. You’re going to look so old!’. I could not be happier about the fact that I was MYSELF on my wedding day!” @julmarie16 #grombre #gogrombre

“Four years ago I lost all of my hair while going through chemotherapy for breast cancer. When it came back, I decided to embrace my grey. I never received as many compliments when I colored my hair as I do now!” @loumel6 #grombre #gogrombre

“My natural gray hair journey started In my early twenties when I began to notice gray hairs popping up right above my eyes in the front. Like everyone else, I saw them, panicked and quickly started dyeing my hair to match the rest. I hated everything about dye – the chemicals, the smell, the stinging and that horrid demarcation – the whole process awful! I began to ask myself why I couldn’t just leave them and wondered why no one did – I mean George Clooney didn’t count. I thought of myself as that fearless girl that could go against the grain buy still took almost ten years to get up the courage. By 35 I was finally sporting my natural brown hair with a thick gray streak in the front. The reaction from others was not exactly what i expected. I heard everything from ‘you should dye your hair or you’ll lose your husband’ to heartfelt sympathies about how sad it was that I had gray at such a young age. I confess I could not take the comments and soon caved. I went back to dying it – this time a JLO blonde to help blend and hide them longer. I told myself I would let myself go gray at a more socially acceptable time like retirement. It wasn’t until I started to see pictures of other woman proudly showing off their gray hair, that I realized that I actually really loved the way it looked. The woman in the pictures were proud, there was no shame and I began to feel inspired to follow the same path and show others that gray hair is beautiful and vibrant. I took the plunge, stopped dying, cut it to a short bob and started the transition. Now, dye almost completely gone, I feel great and free. No looking back and truly happy to be showing off this part of me. My hair is a symbol of my own growth and self acceptance. It reminds me that it’s important to love yourself; bare, vulnerable and strong. Beauty comes in so many wonderful and unique ways. Your posts helped me realize that.” @caro_ximenita #grombre #gogrombre

“I want to a Rexall drugstore looking for a specific leave in curl conditioner, the salesperson misunderstood and took me to the hair color isle? He automatically assumed I was looking for hair colour to cover my “glitter”. Rocking grey hair at times can be amazing because so many are in awe that I don’t color. Others times it can be disheartening when someone has the audacity to tell me I should colour. Social media tells us, especially women that we are only beautiful if we look a certain way, and that’s YOUNG. JusT this week a well known 50 years old French author, Yang Moix, claimed that women over 50 were “invisible” and “too old” to date, he may have received received furious criticism over his statement, but this kind of talk makes women want to do everything in their power to keep up the fight against aging. There’s no reason that a man’s natural aging process should make him look distinguished, while we women look like we’ve given up! Embrace every strand, as a power towards aging gracefully and owing your crown of glorious wisdom. Happy 2019!” @angierehal #grombre #gogrombre

“I feel more confident since I decided to let my grey shine. I dyed my hair a while ago and immediately regretted doing so; like I’d washed my identity away. While I’m still learning to deal with the new texture, I love seeing my tinsel tresses in the mirror!” @bananakb #grombre #gogrombre

“Going into the new year with saying goodbye to dying my hair. It’s been 8 months since my last color job and I am embracing the change with hope and grace. Since my first grey hairs in middle school to my now 36th year of life I felt it was time to live beyond black hair dye and let it shine. Looking forward to what the year may bring.” @hidingplaces #gogrombre #grombre

“I found my first gray hair at age 16 (actually – my sister found it). I would try and pull them out when I was in college, but I couldn’t keep up there was always another two or three that would pop up. I saw how my mom had to have regular appointments to color her gray, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford doing that. I had always responded to people’s comments about my gray hair that “I will color it when I can keep it up.” But now, it is just who I am, and I have no desire to cover that up. My hair gets noticed by people of all ages and races and do you know what they say? In the words of the pharmacy tech tonight, “You know your hair is beautiful, right? Don’t change it. It is gorgeous.” And unlike other compliments I might get, I completely agree with them.” @britbritster #grombre #gogrombre
