How Demi Moore Really Feels About Embracing Her Gray Hair Someday

As more women in Hollywood debut gray hair, the trend continues to garner admiration, especially among stars who once cringed at the idea of fully embracing their silver locks. A handful of celebs who have embraced their graying natural hair color have, in fact, proven that mature hair transformations can look both elegant and classy. Meanwhile, Demi Moore, who has long been recognized for her long, lustrous dark mane — now in her 60s — hasn't shown any signs of silvering. Naturally, many would assume she's not interested in a gray hair transformation and would rather continue looking like the age-defying beauty that she is.

Surprisingly, that assumption couldn't be further from the truth. Speaking exclusively with People, the "Landman" star was asked whether she could see herself embracing gray later in life. "Oh, 100 percent," Moore replied. "I look at women who have that incredible gray, especially long, and I think it's striking. I would definitely do it." As for what her hair actually looks like beneath what appears to be years of consistent color upkeep, the "Ghost" actor admitted, "Mine's like a smattering of gray that makes my hair look murky. I didn't really even start coloring it until I was, like, 55," she said.

Moore was even spotted rocking salt-and-pepper strands back in June 2016, during a casual lunch outing with a friend in West Hollywood. ET Online captured the moment of the then 53-year-old, hailing her for 'letting that gray hair grow,' and looking happy about it.

Demi Moore may go gray, but she's keeping her long hair

Over the decades, Demi Moore has shown just how versatile her hair can be — from her pixie cut in "Ghost" and her shaved head for "G.I. Jane" to the long beach waves she wore in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." Besides dramatic cuts and styles, Moore also experimented with color, dyeing her hair blonde for "The Butcher's Wife" in 1991. "It was a very fun time to have blond hair," she told People. "I think on that path of trying to figure out who you are, what works, what doesn't work, it's this great time of experimenting and discovery."

Now past the 'been there, done that' phase, Moore says she won't conform to traditional beauty standards or follow the short-hair rule for older women. "I remember hearing, 'Oh, you get to a certain age, and it's not appropriate to have long hair.' It really should be more [about] what feels comfortable on you," she explained. "I looked around and saw women of a certain age cutting their hair, almost neutralizing themselves, and it didn't make sense for me."

The star admitted she likely won't chop her hair again. "I feel fairly connected to my hair in a different kind of way," she said. "There's energy in hair, you know? But I never like to say never." Moore also revealed that her great-grandmother 'never cut her hair,' hinting that she may embrace her signature long locks for years to come.
