- Shania Twain shared the “really good surprise” about her experience with going gray.
- The singer is taking advantage of her hair getting “lighter and lighter” by experimenting with new colors.
- Pink was an unexpected favorite. “When I’m entirely gray, if I ever do want to just hue my hair pink, I know I’m gonna look great,” she said.
Shania Twain chooses to see the good in everything. Believe it or not, the singer even found a positive side to menopause, and now, she’s sharing the “really good surprise” she discovered about going gray.
“I’m embracing aging. I’m fine with it. I don’t have a choice, I can’t change it. So I decided that whatever I can’t change, I need to have fun with. Going gray is one of those things,” she recently told Extra. “Of course, I can color my hair,” she added, but she would prefer to get used to the appearance of her hair getting “lighter and lighter,” she explained.
And experimenting with hair color via wigs has helped her do just that. In fact, she shared that wearing a light pink one, as displayed in her “Waking Up Dreaming” music video, among other appearances, helped her lean into letting gray fly.
“The pink surprisingly made me feel younger, or look younger, somehow,” she said. “And it’s so light, it’s practically gray. So that was a really good surprise. And when I’m entirely gray, if I ever do want to just hue my hair pink, I know I’m gonna look great.”

The 58-year-old previously shared a similar sentiment with E! News when she began stepping out in all kinds of hair colors—including all-white and bright red. “As I go gray, I’m like, ‘I might as well toy around with different colors,’” she told the outlet in April 2023. “It’s almost an excuse to play with color and embrace it. I just enjoy playing around with it, like fashion.”
She continued: “I might change my hair color every week. Why not? I’ll have an empty palette. I’m experimenting with that.”
As always, we are in full support of Twain’s creative approach to aging, and can’t wait to see what boundaries she pushes next. She told Extra that she’s “letting go of [her] vulnerabilities more and more” as time passes, and “taking more joy in leaping, trusting, and taking chances.”
Because you only live once, right? “Fear is just in your way,” she said. “Some things are worth worrying about. I’m not afraid of aging. What a waste of my energy to worry about that, to fear that.”
