Whenever I see a woman who is grey, silver, pewter, whatever word you like, with a modern, edgy cut, I am always stunned by how gorgeous it is. The combo of those things seems almost ageless, and so chic. I imagine if I got to see you IRL I would think that for sure!
Your hair looks amazing, Una. I don't think it's aging at all, probably because you have such a chic style.
I am not ready to stop coloring yet but several months ago I talked to my stylist about going more ash blonde. So he added a lot more platinum highlights so that they would be closer to the whites/greys that are becoming more plentiful.
Just this morning, someone I haven't seen in a long time said "oh, you've highlighted your hair! It looks great!" No highlights other than my greys, which are growing in in nice streaks. I use a purple shampoo from John Frieda and once a month I use the John Frieda purplish glaze (intended for light blonde hair) and it's shiny and smooth. It took me a long time to get used to how it looks, maybe four years since I last colored it all over (I used a brunette glaze for awhile because I felt washed out until I got used to it). I think your hair looks great. I'd love to see your cut when you aren't dipping your chin.
Absolutely gorgeous hair. Both cut and color. It suits you very well and does not look aging in my book. But I may be biased because I started the same journey about 3 years ago. My experience was very positive. Lot of compliments and encouraging comments. Well, except one colleague who openly told me that he liked my hair better before and when will I start coloring again.But I can not imagine going back, it is so freeing and my hair is much healthier now.

It's coming along really nicely Una! I wonder where the red is from? Perhaps a remnant of color stripping for the blue, if that was necessary. I kind of love the dip-dyed look with the black ends
It looks great on you! My stylist is always trying to talk me into covering my grays(which have really been multiplying quickly!) But I just love the freedom of not going to the salon. I like to think it's my little rebellion. What's funny is my mom isn't gray (because she colors), but I have lots of gray "highlights!" I truly believe that gray doesn't age you if your haircut and personal style are current, and you have such great style!
Anchie, your hair is lovely too. You ladies are great inspiration for me!
I think you look fantastic! Good for you for letting your hair evolve. It takes courage but I think it's the essence of staying current. Gray does not equal frumpy and you prove that!
