Olivia Colman’s newly grown long grey hair

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 really dislike grey hair in general. I know it's trendy to say it looks great but it's so incredibly aging. I couldn't believe she's only 52...she looks much older

Agree

I know she's often scrubbed right down on screen but she scrubs up incredibly well! 😁 She's got lovely dark eyes, beautiful skin and perfect teeth, and out of character her face looks joyful and lit from within. I could look at her all day 😍

That's what thick, textured hair looks like! It doesn't mean it isn't well looked after. Heated styling to make it straight and shiny might make it look good in the short term but long term causes damage.

I think it looks amazing on her but I can't see how anyone can grow that much in a year. Unless OP is wrong about the timing of the pixie cut.

It’s extensions, it says that somewhere

I don’t heat style mine for shiny goodness just look after it really well

I just think it looks unkempt

I’m not being mean here…. She’s a fantastic actress and very successful yadda yadda yadda … and I’m fully aware she won’t give a hoot what I think or likely even read this - but her teeth are clearly not her best feature. They’re just not. Sorry to be pedantic.
I like the long hair though - extensions or otherwise.
