Olivia Colman’s newly grown long grey hair

[Madamefroufrou]

This time last year she sported her usual brunette wavy pixie cut showing
all of her face.
This week she has long crinkly shades of grey hair we are led to believe
she has grown in twelve months, embracing the grey/natural ageing.
Does anyone have an opinion on this phenomenon or believe this heavy
hanging hank of hair looks attractive, or is it perhaps a Statement.

I think she always looks good, she doesn't typify the 'normal' standard of Hollywood glamour or leading actor looks and that's what's refreshing.

Also I love it when people rock and embrace their grey hair (if it is all her hair), the only thing I would say which probably puts me in the 'being bitchy' category is that it is a little 'thirsty' looking!!!

Actors change their hair a lot. It suits her more than the pixie cut AFAIC.

No women in their 50s doesn’t have grey hair.

Mine is hardly grey at all at 51. Not significantly greyer than fifteen years ago anyway, it's very gradual.

I think her hair looks lovely, whether it’s natural or extensions. it’s really refreshing to see someone accepting that they are getting older and not trying to disguise it by dying their hair. I don’t think grey hair is ageing at all if it’s well cared for

I don’t think it’s lazy for a poster to request a photo, if a post is about something like a specific hairstyle doesn’t include said photo.

The reason I dye my hair is the very few greys there near my parting are are dry and the texture of pubes. Fuck that.

I think it looks great and really suits her. I don't care if it is extensions or not. In fact, if it is extensions I think it's really cool!

I’m 65 and not grey. My mother didn’t go grey either and she was nearly 90! Shame really as I quite fancy having long silver locks. 😁

Yes, my MIL is 82 and she has only gone grey in the last few years. Still quite brown really and she doesn't dye her hair.

Never mind her grey extensions look at the smile on the red carpet pics. Her trademark very gummy smile has vanished!

I have an opinion on the phenomenon of insecure / attention seeking arseholes starting threads with the sole purpose of attacking women for committing the sin of aging whether that be through ‘looking older’ or having grey hair, if it interests you @Madamefroufrou.

I also have an opinion on the usual self-hating disguised as bucking the ‘trend’ crew who turn up like clockwork to crow about their own slavery to beauty trends as if it’s a badge of honour.

Beauty trends set by men who value women only for how youthful they can appear. Set by men who devalue them once they age regardless. The Epstein files are full of these men who through media and power have contributed to the beauty ideal for women being eternal youth. Men who are also known to be predators and/or peadophiles.

It’s quite a feat of brainwashing to see women calling having grey or short hair a ‘trend’ and not attractive as aging is a recent invention. Dye your hair or don’t, have Botox or don’t. But don’t attack the women who are happy to age without performing youth at all costs because you deem your only value to be youth.

WTF is a gummy smile?

👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

You sound really cross about Olivia Colman's hair OP.

No she probably didn't grow her hair that long in a year but thousands of women have hair extensions, why do you think she's somehow defrauding the public by having them?

I think it really suits her, she looks great.

Her hair in that picture reminds me of a badger.

I don't know if it's trendy to say, but the women I know rock the hell out of a pixie, as well as greys.

To quote the OP, is it that you think this is 'perhaps a Statement'?

For a long while I dreamt of having long silver hair but it just refuses to comply. I think brown hair can look quite severe on older people so it annoys me no end my hair is a rather flat brown still at 65. I am thinking of having it lightened a couple of shades to soften it up.

She looks so much younger

It is stunning!!! But yes I’d be shocked if she grew that naturally!!

That would probably look nice. My grey hair has come in streaks, which I quite like, so there are streaks of dark brown and white. I like it!

no requirement, you all having so much fun without me and I won’t be bullied, so fill your boots 🥾 👢

What a snarky thread!

You won't be bullied? Expressing an opinion isn't bullying.

‘believe this heavy hanging hank of hair looks attractive’

I do think that she looks very attractive both with her ‘heavy hanging hank of hair’ or her usual style.

I presume it is a smile that shows your gums? Some people smile like that. Some people don't.
