On the Wednesday, September 19th edition of Katie Couric’s new nationally syndicated talk show, “Katie,” Katie kicks off a full hour dedicated to all things hair by walking the streets of New York City wearing a gray wig asking pedestrians their thoughts on her “new look.” Katie notes, “More and more women these days are going gray and I decided I wanted to know what it felt like at least on a temporary basis.”
From going gray to the natural hair movement, Katie is joined by a slew of beauty and hair experts including, Allure magazine’s editor in-chief, Linda Wells and TV personality Wendy Williams who shares her famous wig collection including her “Gayle King” wig. Williams notes, “My ‘Gale King’ wig is the one that I wear to the gym.”
Celebrity hair stylist, Tippi Shorter whose celebrity clientele includes Beyonce, Rihanna and Jennifer Hudson, provides tips on hair extensions, telling Katie, “Women just want to have options. So, extensions are a really great way to change your look or try something new without the major commitment…they are an accessory. You can really change your personality by trying these hair pieces.” Plus Anne Kreamer, author of Going Gray shares the story behind her book and her decision to embrace her natural gray after diligently dyeing it from age 25 and Eva Scrivo, celebrity hair stylist and author of Eva Scrivo on Beauty gives 3 lucky “Katie” viewers brand new looks.
