Sarah Jessica Parker: Please Stop Saying Gray Hair Makes Me 'Brave'

Sarah Jessica Parker has just been informed that she has "herringbone highlights" and tens of thousands of Allure readers have read a story all about them. "Oh wow! That's… what are they?" I explain that they are highlights woven in and around natural grays. Her description of this hair-color trend for which she is unwittingly a face is far less catchy: "I can't spend time getting base color every two weeks. Can't do it. Nope. Too much."

This choice, many have said, is not a reflection of laziness or indifference or a crazy work schedule. It is bravery. Maybe you remember, last summer, when Parker was photographed dining al fresco in Manhattan. She was bare-faced, hair scraped back, and the headlines blared: "Sarah Jessica Parker goes gray!!" The images went viral. "It became months and months of conversation about how brave I am for having gray hair," she recalls. "I was like, please please applaud someone else's courage on something!" Especially since, as Parker points out, she hadn't even stopped coloring her hair.

To see what the And Just Like That star told Allure when asked about the confoundingly ardent conversation surrounding her hair, read executive beauty director Jenny Bailly's new interview with SJP.
