Gray hair becoming hallmark of coolness
In this article, Reimer discusses the new societal trend: gray hair. While this is nothing new, the fashion scene has been progressively moving towards accepting gray hair as a statement, citing many young and old celebrities such as Lady Gaga who have dabbled in the field of gray hair.
This trend caught on quickly, allowing younger generations to try something new, as well as allow older generations to skip the salon and feel comfortable with their natural hair color.
Reimer appeals to ethos throughout her article by proving to be a credible source on the science behind graying hair. According to reimer, "Gray hair is the result of follicles at the base of the hair shaft losing melanin". This shows her vast knowledge in the field of hair follicles. Another example of Reimer appealing to ethos is when she discusses the boundary of graying:
"Forty seems to be the boundary between prematurely and naturally gray. Genes play into that".
Audience: Young and older men and women
Tone: The tone of this article is informative, as the topic is meant to empower older men and women
Purpose: To empower older men and women to be proud of their graying hair and to open the younger generation to the reality of graying.
