However, when it comes to managing our grey hairs we don’t seem wise enough. Coming into my early forties I was confronted with my first silver stripes, and realising that by the age of 50, my head will be full of grey hairs, I sat and thought to myself, will I become a regular hair dye customer? or will I just keep looking old. I guess it’s not easy for anyone to age gracefully. When I consider the maintenance cost involved in covering up my grey hair, I think going fully grey is my best option, but will I lose all my glow?
