19th century historian and statesman George Bancroft said, "By common consent, gray hairs are a crown of glory; the only object of respect that can never excite envy."

But these women prove otherwise.

Last year Kate Moss made an impact with her version of gray streaks.

Diana Lewis Jewell, author of Going Gray, Looking Great! and the guru of gray hair, says young girls dying their hair gray is "simply the trend du jour. It will pass. What I like about it is, these gals are perceiving gray as an actual color, a 'cool' color. And they are refusing to accept society's dictates that gray automatically means old. Maybe it does take a trend like this to make people realize that any shade of silver can be viable, beautiful, and fun."
