Grey Hair at 12? Embracing Grey Hair Young
Who do you know who had gray hair at 12 years old? For me, that was my story. Partnering with Manhattan Grey today feels like coming full circle—a reminder of the liberty it is to be young and gray.
Back in high school, people didn’t understand. They wanted me to hate my hair. I was constantly asked if I planned to dye it, cut it, or if something was “wrong” with me. Some even suggested there had to be a deficiency behind it. But I never saw it that way. For me, gray hair was a crown—something deeper, something spiritual. I believed it symbolized my relationship with God. That extra crown of glory.
Hair tells a story, whether we realize it or not. Each strand is a chapter, every new growth a reflection of life’s journey. That’s why I’m so excited about Manhattan Grey. Their hydrating oil nourishes every strand, and their pomade keeps my crown in place, honoring the story my hair tells. It’s not just about styling—it’s about protection, pride, and presence.
From every challenge I’ve faced since childhood, I’ve gained new gray strands. To me, they represent accumulated experiences, wisdom gained, and growth earned—even if I try not to blame my exes too much! Each silver thread is a reminder that resilience has beauty, and that our crowns elevate not just our look, but our spirit.
Partnering with Manhattan Grey isn’t just about hair care—it’s about embracing your identity, your journey, and your crown. Because when you honor your story, you honor yourself.
So here’s to being young, gray, and unapologetically crowned in glory.

View allI purchased the hoodie and T-Shirt and love both items. I have one request - I would love to get a hoodie with your company’s name on it so I could advertise this fantastic product. Thanks!
I love the Grey Hair Vegan Moisture Pomade (petroleum free). The scent, the feel and the moisturizing properties of this product. It makes my beard feel and look great. I receive compliments from multiple people on the healthiness and shine of my beard. It is not too heavy and really enhances my grey hairs on my salt & pepper beard.
The vegan pomade does manic to my scalp and hair. The pomade is lightweight and non greasy. A little goes a long way. This is my go to scalp and hair product.
I recently ordered to support my folks and from the reviews. At 55 yrs old my grey is just beginning to sprout and I am happy about that. However, they have a mind of their own and in just a few days this product has allowed my grey’s to marry my texture and trainable for my future growth after cutting my locs. The owner sent me a welcome and that means everything you got a customer/supporter for life thank you sis 🙏🏽
I have very sensitive skin, so I don't try new products very often. But, because my hair was so dry and dull, I decided to give Manhattan Grey a try and I'm glad I did. I'm really pleased with the product. I haven't developed any skin problems at all, and my hair looks much better. I plan to place another order when get low on what I have because this is a good product for me.
