Bored Panda reached out to Jack Martin once more to delve deeper into his perspective on the evolving trends of gray hair, his approach to transformations, and how he navigates the different preferences of various generations.
The celebrity hair colorist shared that he sees embracing gray hair as part of a larger cultural shift. "More people are redefining beauty standards and rejecting outdated notions about aging. It’s empowering to see individuals embracing their natural beauty, and I believe this shift is here to stay."
When asked about the most challenging transformation he's ever done, Jack Martin mentioned that one of the most difficult was on Sharon Osbourne. "She had been coloring her hair dark red for years, and she wanted to go to a beautiful white silver—just a day before appearing live on her daily TV show, The Talk. I had only seven hours to achieve this dramatic change, and the pressure was immense because the entire world would see the results the next day. It was a high-stakes transformation—either I did it flawlessly, or my career could have been on the line. Thankfully, it turned out amazing, and the world was talking about it. That moment was both exhilarating and incredibly rewarding."
Where'd all that hair come from? Sure it's blown out, but I still don't believe that she had all that hair on her head at the beginning. He'd have had to cut off at least an inch, minimum, to get that scraggle off the ends.
Jack Martin said that millennials see gray hair as a bold fashion choice and sometimes choose silver colors on purpose, no matter their natural hair color. "Baby Boomers, however, tend to embrace their natural gray as a symbol of authenticity and self-acceptance. Both approaches reflect a growing movement toward individuality and confidence."
Jack's favorite part of the creative process is always the reveal. "There’s nothing like the joy and excitement on a client’s face when they see their new look. That moment of connection and seeing their confidence shine is why I love what I do."
She's smiling because she's thinking about the 45 minutes she's going to have to get up earlier in the morning to blow all this out.
Her "before" look reminds me of Bonnie Raitt. It's kind of a cool look on it's own.
Not a huge difference, I'm leaning towards the before. But she's gorgeous in both, I suspect it will depend on how much she wants to put into upkeep
Another disingenious 'beauty' article. The 'improved' looks has nothing to do with the grey hair. Notice how every before picture is taken unsmiling, in unflattering poses and lighting? Then the after pictures they have full makeup, broad smiles, professional modelling poses. Its all designed to make it seem like changing their hair color 'magically' made them more attractive. And then they wonder why body image complexes run rampant.
Not to mention, the "after" pic shows larger volume of hair. Yeah, blow-drying and adding volume makes the hairdo look better, what a surprise. (Before anyone accuses me, I have short, naturally graying hair, and I like my gray.)
Load More Replies...I can only speak for myself but I think they look lovely! I love my silver “highlights”! :)
All in all I approve of these posts, because when I was growing up, grey hair was a matter of shame. It was considered preferable to dye your hair badly than 'give up'. I'm glad that is changing.
