I bought this book almost two years ago when I decided to go grey, but still wanted to look fashionable and not like I had given up on my appearance. Amazon sells several books about going grey, but this one I liked best because it was the most fashion focused. Other going grey books I previewed were either a little bit too political/sociological or more "you go girl" esteem building for my taste.This is actually a memoir of Kreamer's own going grey experience, but she includes many interesting asides from her research on fashion, celebrities and dating. Ms. Kreamer has a magazine writing background, in fashion as well as my favorite magazine of all time, Spy. She makes good use of her experience and access to the fashion world in giving advice on how to go grey with style.Kreamer chose the option of getting platinum blonde highlights in or to camouflage her growing ow her grey roots, and she details some of problems with this method. Since I look horrible with blonde hair, I chose the less expensive option of just growing out my hair, but using Aveda Blue Malva shampoo and conditioner to make the colored part of my hair less brassy.The most important thing I learned from this book is that going grey will almost always make you look older, but it can easily make you look better and much more interesting. In the author's before and after pictures, she looks like a pretty but blah woman in her forties with dyed brown hair, but a gorgeous, chic and interesting woman in her fifties with her grey hair.It's also nice to have hair that always goes with your complexion. Even if you get the best hair colorist in the world, and you use all of the special for-colored-hair products, your hair color is only going to look perfect for a week at most. After that, your color will gradually become warmer than your complexion until it is colored again.Kreamer discusses some silver haired celebrities. Of course, she discusses model Carmen, and also Steve Martin and Emmy Lou Harris. If I may add my 2 cents worth about Emmy Lou Harris's grey tresses: yes, her hair looks glorious on stage and in photos, but I used to go to the same gym as Harris, and when her long grey hair isn't meticulously styled, she just looks like your typical Wiccan herb gardener who sells amulets at Renaissance festivals (not that there's anything wrong with that). If you want to look beautiful and stylish with super long grey hair, be willing to put in a whole lot of work. One celebrity who I wish Kreame had mentioned is Heloise of the Hints From Heloise column in Good Housekeeping magazine. Her hair was white in her thirties, and I always thought she looked stunning.One celebrity that never went grey but should have and is not mentioned in the book is Jackie O. I believe that there must be some unwritten rule among style writers (or perhaps any writers) that one can never describe Jackie O's style as anything less than absolutely always perfect. But since I'm not a style writer I will: Jackie looked great in those early '60's styles that suited her figure and personality perfectly. But in old age she continued to color her hair black. Almost any style guide will say that this is a huge no-no for self-evident reasons, yet fashionistas continue to tout Jackie as perhaps the most elegant and stylish woman that ever lived. I would have loved to have seen Jackie go grey. I bet she would have done it beautifully.
