Great grey hair...

I hope this link will work but saw a photo in a magazine of a youngish looking woman with fantastic GREY hair

here

If I thought I would look that great when grey I would abandon all attempts at dying!

Bother, just previewed and link doesn't take you to the right page but flick though to P103...

It does look nice.

I think part of the trick is getting it to look silky rather than old lady frizzy But there are treatments you can have aren't there - Brazilian something or other isn't it? (not waxing obv)

Have been examining my roots - I reckon my percentage of grey would be similar to hers.

Sadly in order to get the full effect I'd also need to lose 3 stone and have a total fashion and house makeover in shades to match my new hair. But I'd be saving on hair dye, so could justify the cost!

decorhate There is a US site called going grey looking great, check it out full of people young and old chucking the dye,I wish I had the confidence some of the pics and stories are so interestin too.

That's why I don't dye my greying but still blond hair - I want that look!

I love the look of Carmen delOrifice, she had grey hair even when working as a model in the 60's 70's.I think it is more to do with facial colouring wether you suit being grey or not.

DEcorhate tbh check out the site because most people on it do look better with their gry tb.Sorry, don't know how to lik tho,am a bit techno challenged.

Agree about skin colouring - the woman in that article looks like she tans easily - as does someone I know in RL with great grey hair. Tbh I think it is easy to look fab & grey if you are good looking. I'm not sure I would look fab with my pale skin!

I tried to look at this before, but can only get to page 20 for some reason?

hippipotamiHasLost92lbs · 10/05/2010 18:52

I can't get past page 20 either....

CiderIUpAndSetIFree · 10/05/2010 19:03

It's actually on the spread p16-17 (just the tiny page no at the bottom is 103)

hippipotamiHasLost92lbs · 10/05/2010 19:06

Ah, found it now, thanks

She does indeed look fab! But she has nice tanned skin. I am very pale. With a few freckles. And am going grey. The end result is that I look very very washed out. If I could look that good I would never ever contemplate dying my hair again...

Yeah, she suits it. But she's pretty anyway and it's flattering haircut. Pasty and frizzy/fluffy grey is not a good look for most.
