Women dying their hair grey

Or ‘silver’

What’s this about? Most probably didn’t get the look they wanted. Why dye hair to colour which would be your natural colour in your 40s and above?

I can understand people doing it when their hair is going grey and they don’t want to dye it and don’t want the badger look.

I really don’t understand the trend that was around a year or so ago where some young women were dyeing their hair grey. Why would anyone want to be grey when young?

It looks amazing on young skin! I did it. Not grey: white. It was super high maintenance and very expensive. But I loved it.

With the right skin tone it’s very striking and quite hard to achieve.

I'm going 'bronde' from bleached blonde, feels brilliant to move closer to my own colour.

Because if you don't bite the bullet and go grey in one go, you'll have to either dye it forever or grow out a harsh line where previous dye has been.

What is wrong with the hair colour of people over 40?

You don’t just wake up one day and your hair is grey/silver though do you? If it’s anything like mine you’ve got years of white/silvery bits poking through at random. I can see the appeal of just getting it to be grey all at once.
