Gray Hair, Do Care – 2018 Body Positivity Photo Shoot

Picture of Women with visible Gray Hairs

With one day to spare, we squeezed in our 2018 Body Positivity Photo Shoot on Sunday, 12/30/18. Instead of focusing on a policed item of clothing (like bathing suits, shorts, and sleeveless tops), we went a different direction this year.

Gray hair is something women are taught to fear (much like anything deemed to be a sign of aging) and to pluck or cover as soon as it appears, sometimes masking it for the rest of their lives. The women in this year’s photo have made the choice to let their gray hair grow. 

Over the course of the year, you’ll get to meet each woman, hear about their choice, and learn about how their hair color impacts their lives. We welcome your comments, and pictures, along the way.
