Anderson Cooper--Making Gray Sexy

Anderson Cooper--Making Gray Sexy

If you've seen Anderson Cooper's show 360, you know that this 40-year-old lacks nothing in the charisma department. One thing he has lost, however, is the pigment from his hair. Though Cooper has gone prematurely gray, it has done nothing to detract from his looks. As a matter of fact, he has been praised for not going the "Hollywood route" and coloring it. Indeed, in his early career, Anderson was young for such a hard hitting journalist; and letting his gray show may have even added to his credibility.

For many people, such a young face clashes with silver locks, but if you, like Anderson have the face of a 20-something and the hair of a 60-something, maybe you should take a hint from Taylor Hicks and follow Mr. Cooper down this little traveled road.

The trick to making this look work is keeping the hair trimmed into a no-nonsense business style. Keeping the hair short keeps the focus on your face and off of your scalp. Keep in mind also, silver hair requires special treatment to keep it that way. Chlorine from swimming, reaction to the temples of your glasses, and even products not made for gray hair can all cause discoloration. Use products designed especially for your hair. American Crew's Classic Gray is one of the many lines made to keep the color and condition of gray hair in top notch shape.
