Hitting the big 4-0! For many women, it’s a big moment filled with a mix of feelings—excitement, nostalgia, and maybe a touch of anxiety. People often say hitting 40 means the best years are in the rearview mirror. Out of nowhere, grey hairs start showing up, and everyone around us seems to think we should battle it, cover it up, or keep it a secret. A lot of us find the idea of getting older a bit uncomfortable. But what if we could flip that story and recognize it for what it truly is—empowerment, beauty, and freedom? Meet Go Gray Be Chic, a movement started by Sharron Miles, an experienced hairstylist, and Style Coach™. She’s here to show us that grey hair isn’t something to hide away; it’s something to celebrate!
Why Going Grey is Chic and Resonates with Me (And Every Woman Over 40)
I can still picture the moment I spotted my very first grey hair. It was just a little bit, a strand here and there, but it felt like a big deal. I just wasn’t ready for that. I wasn’t prepared to face the fact that I was getting older, so I grabbed some dye, hoping to keep that youthful vibe going for a bit longer. As time passed, I started to feel increasingly worn out by the never-ending maintenance, the obligation to look a certain way, and the stress of trying to keep up an image that didn’t match who I was turning into.
So, one day, I came across Go Gray Be Chic, and it all just made sense. I got to explore a completely different perspective on aging. This wasn’t just about letting my hair go grey—it was about embracing it, seeing it as a sign of all the years I’ve lived, the experiences I’ve had, and the wisdom I’ve gained. It wasn’t about hiding or covering up; it was about embracing who I am in all my beautiful, authentic, and natural glory.
Sharron Miles, the creative mind behind Go Gray Be Chic, is changing the game when it comes to aging with grace, confidence, and style. Sharron has spent more than thirty years as a hairstylist and Style Coach™, focusing on helping women over 40 celebrate their natural beauty, and embrace their natural grey hair. She’s not just giving us a “new hairstyle”—she’s starting a revolution that invites us to rethink beauty, self-worth, and aging.
Moving from Fear to Freedom
For a lot of us, going grey can feel pretty intimidating. People often say that our hair should look young and lively, that our faces should be free of wrinkles, and that we should do everything we can to avoid aging. But you know what? We all age—it’s just part of life. Rather than resisting it, Go Gray Be Chic encourages us to embrace it.
Sharron’s take on aging is refreshing! She emphasizes the importance of self-love, wellness, and confidence. Her message is straightforward but meaningful: Aging isn’t a barrier. It’s like a strength, a badge of honor that shows everyone we’ve lived, learned, and grown. Each silver strand tells a story of a life-well-lived—our jobs, our loved ones, our friendships, our victories, and yes, even the tough times.
When I began to embrace my grey hair, I discovered a sense of freedom I never saw coming. I didn’t have to cover up with dye and extensions anymore. I can be myself, be genuine, and be out there in the world as the woman I am—beautiful in my natural way, no apologies needed. But for many of us, that’s easier to say than to do. That’s where Go Gray Be Chic steps in.
