How to explain that Gabriel Attal has gained so many gray hairs since he became Prime Minister ?

Bruno Attal le 30 novembre 2023 et le Premier ministre le 14 janvier… MAXPPP

A detail attracted attention during the transfer of power to the post of Prime Minister between Elisabeth Borne and Gabriel Attal: the graying hair of the new head of government who also appeared with drawn features. &amp ;nbsp;

Many viewers had the same thought when listening to the brand new Prime Minister Gabriel Attal take office on the steps of Matignon: the head of government's hair had turned white. The youngest Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic has appeared for several days with white hair that appeared very suddenly.

It was enough to ignite social networks. Some even suspect that Gabriel Attal dyes his hair gray “to look older”. With her hair, Internet users also noticed some dark circles. It must be said that Gabriel Attal worked hard at the Ministry of National Education and has not slept more than 4 hours a night since he became Prime Minister. "The French who met him in recent days… were struck by his tired appearance, and the appearance of a few white hairs despite his age", underlines the great reporter by Parisian Olivier Beaumont. 

A phenomenon of "sudden canities"

In any case, hairdresser David Lucas believes that the wear and tear of “life in government can accelerate the graying process”, like other political figures. , such as Obama or Sarkozy.

The same hairdresser quoted this time in Gala calls the phenomenon “sudden canities”. Recalling different cases in history: “Legend has it, for example, that Marie-Antoinette saw her hair turn completely white the night before her death by guillotine. Here, it is perhaps the stress of his new status which caused him to have early bleaching, analyzes the specialist

When Wauquiez got into the habit of dyeing his hair

The hair color of political figures is very often commented on. The very serious daily Le Monde reported in 2017 how Laurent Wauquiez, president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional council, had gotten into the habit, in his early days, of dyeing his hair salt and pepper. nbsp; However, "the Wauquiez case has been very criticized so I doubt that Gabriel Attal doesn’have fun dyeing his hair gray", explains Jamil Dakhlia, media sociologist in Le Figaro madame.& nbsp; 

The most credible theory therefore remains that the exercise of power got the better of the whitening of his hair and that the Prime Minister chose to do nothing to hide it. Especially since the trend is now for "no make-up" or the fact that women accept appearing without makeup or without color. Édouard Philippe, suffering from alopecia, ended up attracting the sympathy of the general public by revealing his illness which caused him to lose his hair…
