And maybe every man as well. I\u2019ve been a fan of Andie MacDowell since the 1980s, when I carried a magazine picture of her in my wallet to show hair stylists how I wanted my hair to look. (True story.) Now I pull out my phone and do the same. My goal is for my hair to look like hers. Alas, my gray is slow to come in. My stylist tells me it\u2019s because I\u2019m a natural-born red head and we gray at a slower pace. It\u2019s been <a href=\"https:\/\/notstrictlyspiritual.com\/life-in-my-50s\/going-gray-showing-true-colors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10+ years without putting a drop of color in my hair<\/a> and I\u2019m finally getting a significant amount of gray, but I want more.
