All too soon it's blonde highlights to disguise the fact that the greys seem to be breeding like rabbits. Almost before you know it, it's a full head of colour.
Pray you have a good hairdresser who understands colour; the wrong shade can look strange with your changing skin tone - just look at Paul McCartney and you'll see what i mean.

There's no going back ....But there is another way...go grey!
