Guys are going gray — on purpose.

The newest hair trend for young guys has them looking a lot more like their older peers, with completely dyed fake gray heads, according to The New York Times.

Celebrities from YouTube star Tyler Oakley to Olympic freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy and former One Direction star Zayn Malik have been sporting the look.

A rep from Amazon told The Times that searches for gray hair dye are up, and a Google trends report from last year also noted that there was an increase of 234% in searches for gray hair.

Salon workers that talked to The Times agree. "Men are embracing color," according to the colorist in Denver who worked on Kenworthy's hair.

Or, lack of color, as the case may be.

So why are men doing it? Turns out it's not about trying to look older.

"It’s kind of an ironic statement, especially when the wearer is noticeably young and probably years away from natural graying," Michael Fisher, the creative director of menswear at a trend-forecasting agency, told The Times. "It's just another bold way to stand out from the crowd."

For men looking into the lifestyle change, beware: It's a serious commitment.

A dye job, which usually consists of a bleach and two coloring treatments, can run between $350 and $600, not including salon touch-ups and the cost of special color-safe conditioners.
