5 reasons to embrace going grey
Whether you’ve gone completely silver, erring on the edge or just considering allowing your natural grey shade to shine, we’ve got good news: Silver locks have never been more popular. From Hollywood starlets to screen veterans like Judy Dench, it seems everyone is embracing the shift to grey. Here are five reasons we think silver is smokin’.
- It’s a silver medal – Cindy Joseph, 60-something model for brands like Olay, Aveda and Dolce & Gabbana, has said that her modelling career only took off once she embraced her silver locks. Since then she’s been an outspoken advocate of “celebrating silver” stating that as a precious metal, silver is highly prized and valuable. Why should hair shade be any different?
- It saves time and money – Monthly or even three-monthly visits to the hairdresser can really add up. Not to mention the amount of time spent in the chair. Forgoing the need for colour means a trim every few months with no need for lengthy and expensive visit. Think about what you could do with the money saved!
- It’s empowering – There’s something to be said about feeling comfortable in the skin your in and embracing the wisdom and experience that comes with ‘going grey.’
- You can still play around – While it may seem that choosing to go grey means a lifetime of the same colour, there’s no reason why you can’t have fun with your new hue. Helen Mirren and her lilac tinted locks are the perfect example of this.
- It can help you stand out from the crowd – In a sea of highlights, lowlights and bleached ‘do’s, a head of lustrous silver is truly a beautiful sight.
