12 Celebrities Who've Gone Gray on Purpose

Ryan Lochte

Ryan posted a photo showing him sporting some bleached "#lightblue" hair according to him, which is blueish grey hair according to us. In an Instagram shared by Jenn Jones, the hairstylist responsible for the dye job, Ryan is photographed with his new hair alongside another Olympic swimmer, James Feigen, which is really solidifying our boy band theory. We're not sure if this will give the men any scientific competitive advantage, but at least they look really stylish.

Dascha Polanco

Though Polanco's gray-to-lilac ombré hair color certainly made a statement, the star revealed it wasn't the real deal. "My hairstylist, Cynthia [Alvarez], wore wigs, and she got this really great gray one," she told InStyle during a recent visit. "I wanted to try gray, but I wanted a different color at the ends, and she did it for me." Could've fooled us!
