Ladies!!! Put the fan away and sit down…No Sis, you are not having hot flashes!! You are getting a glimpse of our counterparts: Behold The Silver Men.
So, move over Silver Sisters and make way for these Silver Brothers to stand alongside us in the burgeoning Positive Aging movement as we light the path in the Silver Spotlight together. Gray haired salt and pepper men, celebrities, and high powered business men alike have long been deemed sexy and mature merely getting better with age while traipsing around with much younger arm candy. Silver Sisters have finally caught up, owning their glorious tresses and making a big splash on social media. And while the world is finally taking notice that aging and gray hair can indeed be beautiful, this is a new breed of silver haired foxes; men confident in style and swagger for the whole world to see. They are kicking it up a notch or two.
“The clinical research tells us that by the age of 50, most men will develop grey hair (Genetics Home Reference, 2017). Your hair color is determined by a pigment called melanin; a substance that hair follicles produce. Hair follicles are dynamic structures that reside in the dermal layer of your skin and made up of 20 unique cells. As you age, these follicles produce less melanin, thereby reducing color pigmentation. Some men will start to notice grey hair atop their head in their 20’s. More will spot whitish patches in their 30’s. And by the time you are 40, you will likely see (some) salt and pepper set in”. (From guycounseling.com)
Either that, or they start going bald. Not that baldness is a bad thing, but with the popularity of beards today, it adds a nice counterbalance to the baldness while showcasing their silver tinsel.
These brothers have defined their individual style, and not only are they looking Fly, but they are notably health conscious and fit.
So, I hereby give you permission to behold God’s magnificent creations without guilt!
Looking is free!
Whether bald or bearded, dread locked or tatted, each Silver Brother depicted here is making his unique silver splash in a big way:
Some are professional models like @orlandosilverfox who is as close to perfection as one can get. The word “Adonis” comes to mind with his chiseled body and face to match. (He also gives me a Prince vibe in some photos)(photo credit: Gunnar Gabrielsen)
@mrericcedeno, a silver model, sports gorgeous silver locs along with that enviable flawless skin AND smile.
I have been following @city.lord as he makes his way around colorful spots in Germany to capture great vibrant pics.
@alisudani just looks great with that silver crown and beard, and sports a modern twist to his classic style.
@franky_silverman is a model who wears a longer beard and sports rugged manliness with street style cool, and I am not mad at all those tatts!
@mrmoodydresser has impeccable swag and style as he bounces effortlessly between cool dapper looks and ultra-chic street style.
@biggrip69 has a unique and glorious snow white beard, keeps fit, and is a Deputy Sheriff…I feel safer already!!
@aldgoldie is a model who can sport clean classic handsome looks as well as rough and rugged ones
@tonsorialist_mrdexx is a NYC based Grand Master Barber and you can tell by his beard game and debonaire air. (Yeah, I had to look up “tonsorialist” too!)
@therealwinstonwarrior – apparently bald heads and beards are a thing, and Mr. Winston: multi-talented musician, artist, and more, knows how to work it all very well…
Just like Silver Sisters ditching the dye, men can put away their boxed dye and be confident that the gray doesn’t make them look old, they look Grayt!
It is truly all about mindset, attitude, self-awareness, and style. It can make all the difference between old and bold.
So go ahead and scoot over Silver Queen, and let that Silver King take his rightful place on the throne.
I know you will give your Silver Brothers a follow…
Like Silver Sisters, there are so many Silver Brothers to choose from it was hard to select them so I will most likely feature more Silver Brother in upcoming posts.
What do you think…do you want more???
Post your comments below, and submit your favorite silver brothers for my next post.
Smoochez!!!

Back when I was living in Brooklyn a few years ago, I found myself in an unexpected situation that left me reflecting on the perceptions of age and vitality. As I strolled down the street behind a group of high school students, I couldn't help but notice their slower...
It’s easy to get on here and praise God when things are going well and the blessings abound. When the prayers are answered. When the campaigns come through. When your money is right. When your health is good. When everything is going right.
Remember, he is there through the storms, even though it may not feel like it. In the sunshine and through the storms, on the mountaintops and in the valleys, God is always there. His presence doesn’t change with our circumstances. His love never leaves us.
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.” Isaiah 43:2.
Not only is Arizona literally the desert, but it’s a food desert, a natural hair desert, a diversity desert, and a little bit of a cultural desert. Not bad mouthing it, I love it here but I’m just just being real. Of course I come from New York City, so my bar for these things is pretty high. So I was delighted to find my people, and Ms. Cherry did my hair last week at the Radiant Community Collective Salon in Prescott. Feels like home🙌🏽
#ad #HaleonPartner I know what’s in my closet. My shoes? Absolutely. Beauty products? Don’t even ask.
But knowing what benefits are included in your Medicare Advantage plan? That’s worth checking too.
Some Medicare Advantage plans include OTC benefits for eligible everyday health products, including brands you may already know and use.
So girlfriend, check your plan, know your benefits and see what eligible trusted, #1 doctor-recommended products are available to you, like @voltarengel and @tumsofficial.

MAOTC benefits and eligible products vary by plan. Check your plan for specific details.
After perming, straightening, and pressing my hair for decades, when I was pregnant with my youngest son Kris, I decided to stop all of that and go Natural. I mean, I stopped putting perm my hair. I used to go to an old-time beauty salon where they would still use a hot comb to straighten your hair and as my perm was growing out, she would put vinegar in my hair and wash it. I can still smell it thinking about it. IYKYK. Ms. Frances made my hair grow out so long, thick,and healthy in that little shop on Fulton St. in Brooklyn. After he was born, I used to bring Kris along in his little carrier, and set him down beside me. He was such a good baby. I never put those chemicals in my hair again. I do still switch between straight and Curly, but I usually blow it out and flat iron. After 30 years, I have perfected my twist out game. Anyway, thanks for walking with me down memory lane in the days before my grays… Throw Back Thursday. #naturalhair#curlygirl#blasian#brooklyngirl #tbt
So this is what we look like now… Just staying Fly!
hey y’all, we found love at 60 this is proof that love is possible at any age! Follow me and sign up for my newsletter. Link is in my bio. Stay tuned for my e-Book about finding love over 50… #over60#maturecouple#babyboomers#fyp
I may be late for Grandparents Day, but loving these beautiful souls is an everyday celebration.
They are my raison d’être—my reason for being—and the reason FlyGrannyBK exists. They’ve filled my years with laughter, pride, purpose, and more love than these 20 photos could ever hold.
The truth is, I’m only a Fly Granny because they made me one—and it will forever be one of my greatest blessings. They are growing up so fast… The last photo is them now and I’m sure they’ll be taller next photo I capture-Lord willing🙏🏽.
Fall is here. Was not a big fan of barrel pants because I’m on the shorter side, and I thought I might look a little squatty- but I’m loving these pants and sweater by @scoop from @walmart believe it or not.
Similar silhouettes were popular in the 80s and 90s.
Are you rocking the trendy barrel pants? Trying it with my animal print belt, and a belt bag that happens to match perfectly. Which do you like better???

The choice to embrace your natural silver strands is nothing short of revolutionary. It’s like telling the world, “I am comfortable in my own skin, and I’m here to slay.”
