Ricki Lake Embraces Gray Hair at 54 & Fans Praise Her 'Natural' & 'Younger' Looking Beauty

Ricki Lake revealed that she has aged like fine wine and looked the part in a recent picture where she flaunted her silver hair. However, the actress has undergone a long journey to self-love after years of suffering from hair loss and revealed the key to her good looks has been self-love.

In a recent Instagram post, Lake looked stunning in a knitted polo-neck sweater, but it was her silver hair that stole the show. "The hair!!! So pretty and silver!!! And healthy," one fan commented on the picture of Lake softly smiling into the camera.

"You look like younger than when you started on TV?!!!! HAPPY AND AT PEACE. Natural beauty (sic)," another fan shared, and a third wrote, "Looking fabulous as always." Lake has often turned to Instagram to document her hair journey, including her multiple-year-long battle with androgenetic alopecia, a type of hair loss.

At the start of the year, Lake shared an emotional and "raw" video of her friends helping her shave off her thinning hair, and the actress revealed that she had come to a place of "peace, liberation, and most importantly, self-love and self-acceptance."

Lake becomes visibly emotional in the clip as she holds strands of her fallen hair to her chest. However, the voice of her supportive friends can be heard cheering on the actress in the background. "I chose to make the drastic decision to shave my head after years and years of struggling in secret w/ my androgenic hair loss (sic)," the caption reads in part.

Ricki Lake Believes She's Getting Better With Age

Alongside candidly speaking about her hair loss and promoting self-love and acceptance, Lake has also embraced aging. "I'm getting better with age. I've always embraced the fact that I'm getting older," she shared. Like a fine wine, the "Hairspray" star revealed that she has gained more experience and "flavor" as the years have passed.

Lake also encouraged more women to embrace aging instead of hating it. "If we don't cheerlead and support ourselves, who will?" the mother of two said. During an interview, Lake revealed that she had arrived at a place of self-love that she wished she had experienced sooner.

Since entering her 50s, the actress has been her happiest and has maintained her timeless beauty and great shape by eating to live and not living to eat, exercising, taking good care of herself, and living in the moment. Since entering her 50s, Ricki Lake has also been more proactive about preventative health. As a result, she partnered with Prenuvo, a full-body scan facility that detects hundreds of diseases in their early stages.
