It was only a couple of years ago when the cult of youth was at its peak in mass media. Celebrities were supposed to have perfectly smooth skin, white smiles, and thick manes without a single gray hair. Such standards were often imposed on women, but men were also hit by this wave. That’s when many actors and singers started to dye their hair, but luckily trends for natural looks brought everything back to its place.
