For some people, it becomes an obsession by the time they're in college. For most, it's a reality by the time they hit their 40s. While going gray isn't even close to the worst thing that can happen to us as we age, we still worry about perceptions. Even if heredity tells you otherwise, doctors say there is a way to help keep the gray away. But it does come with some health risks. What you eat does have an impact on your hair. The question is, is it worth the risk? For many, the answer is a resounding yes...

Curious About Gray Hair? Hair turns gray when the melanocyte cells stop being able to produce pigment called melanin. Interestingly the hair doesn’t actually turn gray - it’s white because it has no pigment. It just looks gray next to the hairs with color. Men get more gray hair than women and Caucasians get more than people of Asian and African descent. Stress probably could make you go gray faster due to inflammation and free-radicals which affect the level of melanin. Smoking has been linked to premature graying because it also affects the melanin levels. Lastly, supplements aren’t of any value at this point to stop the graying of your hair. For next week's show I'll have an interview with a health coach to talk about diet and healthy eating. Be sure to tune in and pick up some "healthy tips".

The Subject, The Object and The Artist

Going Gray in Tinsel Town: The Subject, The Object and The Artist People keep sending me messages telling me to Be Positive. One message I got today was a link to an article about how difficult it is to be disciplined with your optimism.  I didn’t read it. I am starting to feel disdain for people who tell me to think positive and look on the bright side. It feels manipulative. Like something they want me to do so they can feel more comfortable. There are a few people who reach out to me with their messages of positivity. Some are practical, but mostly they feel weighted in judgement and fear. Their happiness feels aggressive and judgemental, and I resent it, because, ultimately it doesn’t feel like they are really listening to what I’m saying or writing.  Although I am expressing my emotions in a public space — I’m not asking to be fixed. I am exploring this experience of shedding my self-objectification and self-surveillance through social media as I grow out my naturally grey hair. I have turned aging into an experimental art exhibition, happening in real-time so you can experience it through me, and I can go back and watch what happened with curiosity to my days-younger self. I am deep diving into this experience because it is my experience that I can not change my behaviour or attitude just by focusing on a new behaviour or attitude, I need to bring that unwanted behaviour or attitude into the light where I can look at it and see it for what it really is. In most cases, it is just F-E-A-R (False Evidence Appearing Real). In this case it is fear coated in the icing of a societal idea of who and what I am and who and what my value is to the world. This has caked (pun intended) my thinking with ideas and philosophies which are not mine. I can’t just wish them away, or turn toward something else that is more positive, I have to call that shit out for what it is first, figure out if it even belonged to me in the first place, stand up to it, and then, like the Jabberwocky in Alice in Wonderland, and every other well developed bully in literature, it will disappear. But I definitely can’t try to manage the fear or keep it in check it while I’m expressing it, or I won’t get a clear shot at it, and, based on this weird feedback on Instagram, I’m assuming that what people are seeing looks like someone who needs encouraging messages, a great deal of external validation and lots of emojis. The thing is — that external validation is what I am trying to cure myself of. For me, the thing that makes me feel better is just posting. Well. Not posting. Posting feels gross. But it feels less gross than feeling lonely, and the external validation makes me feel temporarily connected, and provides a sense of intimacy that I don’t get so often in my everyday life.  I’m definitely triggering people.  The biggest thing I’ve realized through all of this self surveilling and self objectifying and posting and looking at likes and messages and detaching and taking breaks and taking 600 selfies to get one and then feeling depressed cause it’s not a selfie taking day because my hair looks like shit, is that, it is just all fucking predicated on how lonely I am most of the time. My father once said that one of his favourite lines in a country song was ‘at the times I felt the most alone, someone was sitting right next to me.’  The person sitting right next to me now — is me; the instagram version.  The process of exploring my aging as an art experiment has me as The Subject, The Object and The Artist. In this case — the subject is my body, the object is the selfie, and the artist is the one asking all the questions. Part of this exploration means toggling back and forth between these three positions, working on not judging any of them, figuring out where they intersect, and then, taking a step out of them and determining how each is growing and changing through all of this.  I’m trying to draw a diagram of this, and having trouble drawing the subject, because maybe the subject isn’t my body at all. Maybe the subject is that thing which can not be defined, maybe I’m just fruitlessly trying to capture an image that defines my existence, that proves that I was, and that shows me in all forms and feelings that I present in the course of a day, and that is why this process is so thought-provoking and dynamic. The selfie is just a moment in the existence of my life. As soon as I see that image I immediately feel disconnected from it. I know it is not me. It’s just some version of me that’s now gone, and I tell myself — particularly when the selfie is not so attractive — that the unattractive version is really me — that’s the one people who know me IRL see. The one that slips out when they catch a glimpse without me being aware, or holding tension in my face and body to maintain the image I’m trying to uphold.  But neither the attractive or the unattractive image is a true representation of me. And, if the other theory that I keep exploring is true; that if I focus on the positive external affirmations of my beauty then I also will be susceptible to being ruled by the negative judgements that other people shit or spew in my direction about how I look, then the positive shit has just as much as an opportunity to be toxic as the negative.  I had a guy on the subway approach me yesterday. Tell my I was beautiful, ask me to marry him, and then proceed to talk about Vietnam, conspiracy theories and name-drop JFK and each of his relatives for 7 stops before it actually occurred to him to ask me my name. He was super offended BTW that I didn’t remember his after he told me seven times. But I digress — the fact that I even listened to him in the first place is because I am addicted to external validation and I have been generously allowing people to suck my time and energy in order to get their need for attention met by buttering me up with a really well-phrased compliment for almost my entire life.  I imagine it has a lot to do with the loneliness.  What’s interesting to me about my relationship with being alone is that it has changed so drastically in the past year. It was actually a non-issue before. If I wanted male attention I would call someone to come over and give me some. If I wanted to hang with a friend I would pick up the phone or invite myself over to their place. Suddenly, amongst all this metamorphosis with my hair, I am feeling outside of my tribe. I am questioning my worth as a friend, a lover, and a creative partner, because I am questioning what my worth is. Side Bar: Just in case it’s not clear at this point in the essay…Please don’t mistake this as a call for help. I am calling out these thoughts as a way to replace them with others, or to examine them so they can be called out as bullshit, not because I’m hoping you will send me messages telling me I’m beautiful. Thanks. When I first started posting photos of my grey hair journey online I was soooo moved by the comments people made on said photos. When people told me I looked beautiful or told me to keep going I felt like it was such a profound act of love. Now I don’t. Now I feel like they have an agenda. Of course they don’t. I mean, maybe some of them do, but a lot of it is just unconscious. Nothing has changed except the fact that I now have an agenda. My new agenda is to get people to listen to my podcast and maybe buy a ‘grey curious’ mug from my artsy fartsy website or a book, when I write it. Pretty vague I know, but underlying that agenda (that commodification of the art) is a very tidy excuse to NEED external response. Here is my pain for the purposes of getting you to listen to more podcasts so I can eventually get advertisers to help support the time and expense of running the thing, and I need to use instagram to promote and support it so I must take selfies and they must be the kind that people like so they click my profile and my hair doesn’t look good today and and and… This always happens with me. I start to do something out of passion and then I commodify it, and then I resent it and I don’t want to do it anymore. It’s a violent form of self sabotage that I point at my career to try to shut down anything I am doing because of passion and generosity by starving myself of the ability to make money doing it. I start keeping score.  Today I have been sitting online for several hours trying to buy burning man tickets. They are having some sort of technical difficulties and so it is taking forever. On the page I have been staring at there is a lot of info on not trying to make money off of the tickets by reselling them — it says ‘Don’t Exploit the Thing You Love.”  I cried when I read that.  What does exploit even mean? Especially to an artist. I once had a teacher that said the reason actors are paid so much is because we are willing to reveal the human experience in ways that regular people just aren’t. To reveal in ourselves the darkness, the ugly shit, the shit that we don’t admit to in polite company. It’s hard to put yourself out there, and, as an actor, I get to hide behind a script and unleash my inner demons and claim I was just using my imagination. Imagination is an important part of the work, but fundamentally I believe, like Stanislavski did, that it is just me in the given circumstances. Life experiencing itself.  A few days ago, during my morning meditation from A Course In Miracles that asked me to understand that this world I see is not real; I asked for answers from the depths as to what that means. I like this world, and it feels real to me, but the more I explore the idea and practice of being able to tap into an infinite source of possibilities I realize just how constructed the constructs of my life are.  One of my favourite things about the entertainment industry is that it is a bunch of people creating their own versions of paradise out of a flashing light show. We literally create worlds out of light that are visible and disappearing from moment to moment. During my meditation the idea that came to me was that the process of creating and filming a movie is the same thing I am doing as I create and experience my life.  I had a vision of myself on the set of a movie I had written and was directing and starring in. In the scene we were filming, I was crying. It was deeply moving, and everyone in the room was captivated, present and affected. I felt completely elated at what I had created, and, at the same time felt the deep sadness of the character, and the broader remembrance of the universal experience of life at its most painful. This is what I strive for — I am creating a life where I get to experience the fullness of being alive, and where I can also be the observer who watches myself, in my life having experiences. When I don’t judge the bad experiences I realize that underlying those experiences is a great deal of joy at just being alive to experience it in the first place. Just like there is a great deal of joy when I am on set getting to make a movie I wrote, am directing and starring in even when we’re over time, over budget, my feet hurt, and the caterer is stuck in traffic.  That is what I strive for — to be experiencing myself experiencing my life. It just so happens that social media gives me a real time way to do this. I can observe myself observing myself, and the beauty of this — the GREAT beauty of this — is that I can choose to be brave enough to experience myself in all my fullness, and that includes all of the emotions, as they are, in the moment I feel inspired to share them. Fear of and repression of my emotional life does not serve me or the world, and it’s kind of missing the point.  If you happen to be an emoji sender; know this: I feel your pain. I know you are not trying to shut me up, but I would ask you to explore if it is your pain you don’t want to feel, and I would urge you to allow it. It will feel big at first, but with practice, and a sense of humor as you step into the role of The Observer you may just start to see the joy underlying it all. The real joy, not the emoji kind.

Going Gray in Tinseltown: The Anti-Choice Mandy May Cheetham Apr 16   Month Three Sil-ver Sis-ter / ˈsilvər ˈsistər / noun A precious shiny woman in relation to other precious, shiny women who has been mined from a pit of darkness and called to shine her light upon the world. She has walked through the fire and harnessed the energy of the cosmos as evidenced by her flickering hair. Those who are privileged enough to look upon her with an open heart shall be forever changed, and those who look upon her with judgement shall be forever blinded by her light. A group of precious shiny women with open hearts whose magic may only be seen by those who believe. Last week I attended my first Silver Sisters meetup. It was at a restaurant in the valley that served rubbery, over-buttered eggs and was filled with screaming children. A good first step in my public going gray process since no one of any Hollywood stature was likely to be there. I was nervous to go, but not for the reason I expected to be. I realized on my way there, 20 minutes late, that I was delaying because I felt like going would be an admission of sorts. An admission that I was one of them — that I had joined some club that I hadn’t willfully wanted to be a part of — that nature had thrown me into without my permission, and that, despite the fact that I was protesting on instagram that this transformation is a radical act of self love, and a political one at that, the truth is, it is a group I have joined because I simply couldn’t hack the stamina required to remain a part of the other group — the one that was causing nerve damage to my scalp and rotting the skin off my head. It wasn’t a choice I made to champion being a natural woman, it was a choice I made away from the alternative. So why would this anti-choice be something I would want to celebrate? One of the most incredible parts of this journey for me has been the shock and awe of watching myself dive from one extreme to the next — literally feeling like a sex-pot superhero one day and the next feeling like a frumpy grandmother in slide-on cardboard slippers holding a broom and twirling my braidable chin hair. Sometimes I feel like I’m at war with myself, and am deeply concerned that this is not a radical act of self love, but a radical act of self sabotage — a way to bow out of my career as an actress with a giant plate of fuck-you-to-the-man, and a side of it’s-all-the-industry’s-fault on the way down. Needless to say I’ve been feeling a little conflicted. I would have bailed on the breakfast — especially since it was at 10AM… on a Sunday …in the valley — I don’t need to tell anyone who lives in LA why all of those things are problematic, but I was curious to meet Karen, one of the women running the Silver Sisters 2020 conference, and Katie, a woman with a popular blog and amazon site for silver sister products. I have a background in running events and am very excited to help Karen and her partner Marina run the 2020 conference. At least I was until I got to this brunch. I scurried down the street toward the restaurant feeling very self conscious for being late and acutely aware that I would be joining a tableful of women whom everyone in the restaurant would know were there together because of the collective head-glare. I tried to imagine we were like a group of people who like to wear stuffed animal outfits out in public and pretend it’s no big deal cause we are all there together, and just sit and laugh amongst ourselves. Yet it was still a big deal, and even more so because we were all there together. Glaringly. I cringed when I walked past the window and all these women whom I don’t know saw me and waved — they knew it was me cause my gray hair is that obvious now, and there’s no other reason why a gray haired woman would be out in public in daylight so I must be with them. A sign to me that I’m not flying under the radar anymore. I actually walked by another woman who was feeding her meter on the street who was fully gray and I thought of saying hello, but I am ashamed to admit that IGNORED her. I hate when people do that! Like, I know we are going to the same place, soooo are you going to pretend-you-don’t-see-me until we get in there and then give me a smiley face and a nice-to-meet-you and an ‘oh, did we pass each other in the parking lot?’ kind of shit. I did that. She was quite a few years older than me, and, how do I say this without sounding like an arsehole, not dressed very cool. Now I’m aware that this is some Hollywood garbage, but I’m just going to admit this — I was embarrassed to be seen with the table of gray haired ladies. I never felt this way about grey haired ladies before, and I would have felt so privileged to have been sitting at that table four months ago with my formerly dyed-red hair, but now I felt like I had crossed over into Northern Reflections territory (see below). Like I was admitting that I had given up on my fashion and style and am now actually admitting that I am old.   (No one was dressed like this. My ego and I were in an alternate Universe.) I’m admitting to this so I can stop feeling this way. I am making this admission because I feel I need to face my own judgements about women, aging and gray hair in order to make peace with how I am judging myself. It is a slippery slope if I start to try to distinguish myself from other women by COMPARING myself to them. (As Karen keeps reminding me ‘comparison is the thief of joy.’) If I am the one at the table with the youngest looking face today that does not make me superior because I’m more fuckable to the waiter (who I think was into men anyway). And Lord knows I won’t have the youngest face forever! So I walked through the front door of the restaurant and passed by two non-gray women in their 50s who were having brunch and I experienced what was my so-far second middle-aged-rage death stare scenario. No other way to really describe it beyond pure, open-mouthed disgust. Like, why-are-YOU-gray? You’re too young, and why are you disturbing my brunch by letting it hang out like that!? There’s this weird resentment I feel from some older women, even those within the budding #sliversister community, who maybe regret not going gray when they were younger because they could have dealt with the signs of aging one bit at a time ?— hair first, then face? I certainly didn’t plan to go gray now so I could have the ‘face advantage’. It’s so exhausting to be now transfering my old neurosis about comparing myself to other women who aren’t grey with a new one of being compared to other women who are — so, even if I can’t control the comparisons coming at me from other women, I can, and will try to stop it in myself, and that’s why I am talking about it publically now. I always felt like I would dye my hair until my 50s or 60s. I’m not even sure I was cognisant of why — just as I believed as a younger woman that I wouldn’t dye my hair until I had to, which happened at 30, and that I wouldn’t stop dying until I was at a socially acceptable age to stop — which clearly is not my age now based on the death stares at brunch. Man, I haven’t heard that term in a long time. Socially acceptable. It used to be socially acceptable to say socially acceptable. I’m not sure it is anymore. Socially acceptable seems like a scary thing these days, what with the social media monster lurking like an angry mob waiting to demolish and publicly shame anyone who dare go against what the people with the blue checks beside their names want. I am digressing. Let’s get back to my discomfort at this powerful meeting of the minds at the restaurant with the rubbery eggs. I’m not sure what I expected when I sat down. A table full of deep-breathing power-goddesses all calling forth the natural elements and shining our light to help be the change we want to see in the valley, but, instead, it was a table full of open, sensitive women talking about hair care products and sharing candidly about divorce, dry hair and career changes. Life; happening. The Silver Sister group is such an incredible cross-section of humanity, and we are all doing this for different reasons. I realized I had been idealizing these women and their processes. Watching everyone go gray on instagram with their empowering and supportive statements and emojis made me think they all knew something I didn’t. Because from looking at them you think that they have fully transitioned from slimy caterpillars and are butterflies now and have thrown off the cocoon of aging fears with it. Not so caterpillar. That became apparent to me yesterday when I was in the locker room at the Athletic Club where I am a member. I saw a woman with beautiful fully grown-out, soft gray hair and I went galloping toward her (in a towel and flip flops) and said; ‘It’s like I am the caterpillar and you are the butterfly!” She looked at me dumbfounded. Bathing suit in hand — clearly about to strip down. I pointed at my hairline aggressively. ‘I’m growing out my hair!’ She kindly refrained from changing so we weren’t both standing there emotionally and physically naked. She looked embarrassed that I had noticed. I understand that embarrassment. I felt it myself at that brunch, and had seen it on the faces of the women who were part of the catalyst for my decision — a director I worked with in my early acting days, and an actress friend in Toronto that I saw over Christmas. They all sort of slough it off like it’s no big deal — like they just did it because they were allergic, or because of a role, or because they just didn’t want their lives to be about how the looked anymore, which I sensed to be the case with this woman too, but, yet, here we were talking about how how we look. They don’t always want to talk about it because they didn’t do it in order to talk about it — mostly they did it to get away from the dye, not to go toward the gray. I get it. I wish I could walk around and just feel normal, it seems to be mostly moments of extreme feelings, and since the aforementioned rock star moments are less frequent lately, I’m wondering if I’ll ever get to that normal feeling stage at all. As it seems as though this lovely woman is not there either yet. And I was making it worse for this her by fan-girling about it in the locker room in a towel and flip flops. To cover the awkwardness she launched into slightly-off-topic, but totally relevant story about how she and her husband were riding their bikes in Venice and someone had yelled at them out the window of a car… ‘Wow, two old people riding their bikes, that’s so West-side,’ and how she and her husband had felt strange being referred to as old and I imagined how she may have felt responsible for him being called old because she had gray hair too. Like, if he has gray hair and she dyes then they still aren’t old somehow, but as soon as she goes grey she’s ruined it for the both of them. It made me think of those old Clairol ads — ‘Your husband will love it too. It’ll make him feel younger just to look at you.’ Such fing garbage. No one would have yelled at a gray haired guy and called him old — why bother? He’s not threatening the fabric of society by going gray — he’s just allowed to follow the natural course of his life. I guess we can add gray-privilege to a man’s list of advantages. Goodie. So, back to the brunch. I felt a bit depressed afterward (getting dumped didn’t help, but that’s another blog, grrr). I was surprised by the lingering sadness after this supposed to be empowering meetup. Then today, when Karen came over to sit for an interview for my Going Gray in Tinseltown podcast I admitted to her that I had felt embarrassed at the brunch, not empowered as I had expected, and I was worried that women may not want to come to the conference because they wouldn’t want to be seen with us. I’d like to say it had something to do with the dirty looks I got when I went into the restaurant, but it wasn’t that — it was building up in me way before that went down. I take for granted that I have lived the life of a privileged hot chick, and that, if I turn heads in a restaurant, it’s because I’m with a bunch of other hot chicks. Man, I HAVE SO MANY HANG-UPS ABOUT AGING! My ego was having a freakin field day thinking that hanging out with women just because they have gray hair is like being invited into a club that I didn’t want to join, and there’s no barrier to entry; oh, save one: These women have walked through the f-ing fire of being a gray haired lady in a world that is ageist, antagonistic, dismissive, rude, prejudiced and downright aggressive toward women who decide to let their grey hair live free. It is a sacred decision each woman makes to go gray and I respect it. I am grateful to have been in the presence of these women and I hope they will invite me back so we can heal this shit together and maybe share a makeup and clothing tip or two along the way. I went to a stand-up comedy show tonight that was an all female lineup. At the show there was an ‘older’ woman with fully white hair. She gave me that knowing look — the one that Harley Davidson drivers give to each other when they pass on the highway — like I was part of the club. I gave her a shaky smile back. She was there supporting one of her still-dyeing friends who was doing stand-up for the first time at 50 (HELL YES!) — the one who got up and made jokes about getting Botox and fillers. When the grey lady stood next to her friend after her set- she looked older than her in my mind (my projection and my issue, not hers), and also, now that I think about it, more at ease. I was not conscious of that ease at the time and instead felt embarrassed for her and realized that I will soon be the woman in my friend group who looks older than everyone else. Will this preclude me from being invited to be the wing-woman when my girlfriends want to go to Coachella? Because if I look old, and they are trying to pick up, I will be the ultimate cock-block — and the eyes of the hot guys that are already glazed over will just pass right on by the group of old ladies — even if only one of us is gray. This shit is invading my mind because I believe that is what looking older is: having gray hair. It’s not, but it’s a stigma that has to change, and if I don’t change it — who will? I hope that by airing all of this ugly self-sabotaging, self-objectifying, self-surveilling crap I will free myself from its grip on me and find the Miracle. The Miracle with a capital M — the one referred to in A Course in Miracles as a Change in Perception, because perception is not knowledge. That’s what the grey haired woman at the stand up show knew, and that was the real reason why our brunch table was getting so much attention — they, we, were glowing, and sometimes, those who stand on the periphery of the light are blinded by it. I want to reiterate that I feel very privileged to have been invited to that brunch — rubbery eggs and all, and that the best part about this community is our acceptance of each other’s neurosis, and our willingness to tell each other the truth. I’ve had a few conversations with the women from the group now, and, along with writing this article, I am finding my way to eradicating my judgements. This is a group that I hope will continue to have me as a member. And even though I have been getting the occasional death stare; it’s never from younger women. I am actually starting to notice young women really taking it in that I am doing this and witnessing it with kindness and respect. I remember seeing a woman with a beautiful gray bob when I was about 7 or 8 and thinking it was glorious, and that I couldn’t wait for it to happen to me. I think I thought then that it would happen over-night, which it really is, and which is why it’s all up in my face like this, but it is not lost on me that there are younger women seeing what I am doing with my hair who may think twice about dumping chemicals on their head if they don’t want to. In moments when I’m not all up in my ego shit I feel a deep sense of responsibility to them to keep going with the grey grow out. Because as each day goes by and I decide anew to keep letting my hair grow dye-free, it is becoming an active choice instead of just a side effect of my anti-choice. When I saw the vulnerability on the faces of the silver sisters I met with I was triggered, yes, and my ego came out in full force and I am ashamed of my narcissistic response, and I am so fucking grateful to each one of them for showing up wearing whatever makes them feel beautiful and alive and I couldn’t do this without them and we are changing the world and we are doing it together and that is so freaking much cooler than the clothing you wear to brunch. This may not get easier, but this is my choice, and I am so grateful I have made it. Silver Sisters 4EVA.

Ditch The Dye

The premier episode of Going Gray in Tinseltown features a Medium article written by Actress, Writer, Producer Mandy May Cheetham about her public decision to stop dying her hair red and allow her silver hair to grow in.  75 percent of women dye their hair in America. The other 25 percent are infants. I wish I were kidding. Ok, it’s closer to 20 percent infants, 18.5 percent of women in America are aged 0 to 14, but do some math and that leaves only 6 percent of women over 14 who are not dying their hair. I mean, of course this is true. It doesn’t mean they dye it every month of course, and this study was done by Clairol in 2008 so let’s keep that in mind, and plenty of women do it for fun, and not to cover grey, but I think it’s safe to say that we all know 1, 2 or 377 secretly grey haired ladies. Why do we dye? I recently came to the decision that I would stop dying my hair, which is currently red, and allow my natural color to grow in, which, I think, is dark brown with at least 50 percent - 60 percent white. I have been thinking about it for years, and I don’t know what put me over the edge. Maybe the nausea I feel everytime I smell the dye, the THOUSANDS I have spent on color - was spending 2 hundred dollars a month for several years until I finally just started getting the professional tubes online and mixing at home myself- or the deep sadness I felt every time I considered the me that I have not allowed to be seen. The me who is aging. The me who is 43. I spent the holidays at my Mom’s home in a small town in rural Ontario where I could wear touques and pyjamas pretty much everywhere, slap on some lipstick and look like an eccentric up from the city for some R&R. Three weeks at her place and a semi-permanent two weeks before I left and I had a pretty significant amount of growth by the time I hit the tarmac back to LA in mid-Jan. I kept telling myself I would dye it when I got back here. Go to the fancy Melrose salon and pay 300 dollars for the assistant of my hair guru to accidentally use the scalp-burning, remove-a-layer-of-skin-every-time peroxide color instead of the ‘non-allergenic’ Inoa kind. But, as each merciful day of not dying passed something was happening. I was spending less and less time aggressively pawing and gawking at my roots every time I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and humming and hawing about how much longer I could go before I’d have to pull out the chemicals, and more time considering the big what if… This was the longest amount of time I had ever spent without covering my roots. I was starting to see shocks of white hair against my skin that brightened my eyes and that looked, dare I say it; beautiful. I’m sure no one would blame me if I had sent my uber straight from LAX to the salon, or even question why I dye. I am an actress. I live in LA. I look younger than I am. At times that feels like my only power here. That last line was meant as a joke. One of those jokes that’s funny because it’s true. I did not know I was submerged in a quicksand of fear over the possibility that physical signs of aging would overtake what little power I thought I had until I made the decision to go grey. I went into panic mode. Frantically trying to figure out how I would A. continue to have a ‘career’ in hollywood one which, let’s be honest has been moving in reverse since I hit 40, and B. continue to trap men into dating me without my fantasy-invoking red waterfall, and a white beacon of infertility above my brow. The protestations came fast and furious. You won’t work. You won’t date. People will know you will soon be infertile. You will look old. Old. There is that word. The one that made me cringe every time I saw my grey hairline peaking through during the weeks when I knew I didn’t have to leave the house — trying to give my scalp a break from the burning, flaking and peeling — looking at myself with sad eyes as I denied any knowledge of how deep I am into the progression of my life. If I faced the grey — I’d have to face everything that went with it; the dark circles starting to puff, the neck wrinkles, drooping breasts, having hit 30, and then 40, and maybe even hitting 50 without the house, the man, the career, the Louboutins. If I just kept covering it up I wouldn’t have to face the failure. I wouldn’t have to admit that there was supposed to be more. I was supposed to be more. So I dyed. And dyed. Died. Dyed-it. Dye-it. Diet. But I digress. For 13 years I’ve been dying away the grey. It was fun at first — particularly when I went red about ten years ago. With those first red tinged highlights I walked out of the salon and a man on the street said ‘WOW! A redhead!’ I had never had any stranger comment specifically on my hair like that before. I felt uneasy because he was slightly lecherous, but I flicked my head around and thanked him none-the-less. Power. For years after that I was known for my red hair. The complements were frequent and plenty. The colour went progressively from a strawberry blond to a hey look-at-me-muther-chucker-I’m-not-dead-yet RED. Headshots, videos, films, tv shows, performances, and uber profile photos all screamed my identity. I am red head: mysterious, cunning, sexy, charming, willful, passionate; and my scalp is flaking off in chunks as the glorious red tendrils rapidly thin and recceed — each hair making its escape from further rounds of torture by parachuting off my head any chance she gets. Oh yes, the hair thinning may have something to do with it. 43 seems a little young to be losing it. I have my suspicions that the dying has something to do with it. Hair dye has been a known allergen since the late 1800s, and several oft quieted or dismissed studies have shown higher rates of cancers in women who dye their hair and the sweet colorists who enable them* (In the EU, despite the banning of PPD or Paraphenylenediamine as a carcinogenic substance, it is still allowed to comprise up to 6% of hair dye). Most of the studies I’ve seen have been related to breast cancer, but one I just read today also cited increase incidents of cervical, and vulvar cancers. Of course cancer is the big, scary word used as the final blow in any chemical discussion, and perhaps having only 6 percent of the chemicals of hair dyes capable of causing cancer is a small amount when you consider how much other stuff is in there trying to make it soft and shiny, but also, perhaps not. Any woman who has sat in a hairdresser’s chair and had the goop applied to her head and felt the heat it gives off, sometimes for days, while it processes has I’m sure had the thought that it may not be ‘healthy’, but it’s much better than looking old, right? But it can’t be. If hair dye were really that bad for us we would know, right?! All of the governing bodies set out to protect us from big bad beauty, and big bad pharma would not have anything other than our best interests at heart. Surely some University would cough up millions of dollars to do extensive trials on patent-protected products responsible for an expected 6.5 Billion in sales in 2019 — which is a tiny amount considering the overall hair care market is worth 211 Billion. That’s about 325 Million tubes of color. I’m sure that keeps a few folks in their Louboutins. My thesis is that my insistence on poisoning myself has to do with my previously unexplored belief that grey hair means I am old. If I am old I am invisible, unviable and my time for dreaming and achieving is over. Does grey equal old? One statistic I found said that 32% of british women UNDER 30 are starting to go grey. Or is it a sign of something else? Are the very products we are using killing the hair we are trying to festoon? Causing us to dive deeper into the pool of self hatred connected to aging? If women are going grey earlier… Is grey even an indicator of age? I don’t think so, and I believe that this is the narrative that needs to be changed. I also know that I can’t expect anyone else to change that narrative for me until I change it for myself. I am only into the first week of leaving the house with my skunk streaks showing along the hairline — no matter where I part it, and I’ve no straight answer as to how it’s going. I just know there is a lot to unpack in the exploration of my relationship to aging, and the glaring indicator of such on my head. I have felt equal parts super hero, and complete self-sabotaging maniac. Trying to take it one day at a time because the thought of letting go of the red hair that has defined me is too much to do all at once. I just know I’m not going to dye it today.

Going Gray- with something to say! - Getting your words out  in the new world of Publishing. Wisdom is often associated with grey hair, especially among those with grey hair.  And yet, with the democratization of publishing, the people who write to publish run the entire spectrum of age, gender, race, and sexuality.  What they all have in common is the need to learn the business side of the art craft and business of writing. Those of us grey enough to remember the “ Who's on first” skit, perhaps the best remembered, best written comedic skit of all time, performed by the greats Bud Abbot and Lou Costello- is a great description to the confusion, misinformation and outright fraud that is now part and parcel of the newly democratized world of publishing. Now that you have joined the 80% of Americans who think they have a book in them, you had better learn the game before you get up to bat! Self- publishing and the internet surely did open the gate for you to get onto the field. But the tenfold increase in published books has also helped the crooks, so the publishing game just got bigger---not easier!

Grace & Grit Podcast:  Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives

There is no denying that the aging process poses some challenges to our physiology. I just turned 40 this year, and what my body needs at this stage of my life is a bit more complex than what it needed in my 20’s. Aging demands a new level of respect when it comes to how we care for our body so we can continue to engage with the things that light us up and make us feel fully alive. On today’s episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I have invited to the show, Betsy Ogden, who is a huge advocate of women’s health especially to the population of women 50+. She has an online business aptly named, “The Art of Going Gray”, where she shares her passion and knowledge of healthy living with her clients and fans. Betsy is a former dancer, physical therapist and movement enthusiast, who strongly believes that a “moving life is a healthy life”. And, of course, I agree, so I am thrilled to have her here today to share a bit of her wisdom with us and to help us reframe our expectations of aging.
