As a Stylist and Colour Analyst I have helped many of my clients \u201cgo grey\u201d successfully and with confidence. Now it is my turn…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started this process 9 months ago (thanks Covid for the push!) I really didn\u2019t know what to expect (neither did many of my clients it seemed). Therefore, when so many of my client\u2019s started to take interest in my \u201cgrey progression\u201d I started an Instagram page called \u201cGoGreyTheStylistWay\u201d to document my journey and hopefully inspire others who were wanting to do the same but not sure how. The most wonderful thing from doing this is, I have found my page is not just helping others embrace going grey but it has become a place of inspiration for all things \u201cage positive\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article I am sharing exerts from my Instagram page that include; colour and style tips, realisations and personal experiences from my \u201cgoing grey the stylists way!\u201d journey so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me start with saying it is taking determination, savvy styling and guts to go grey! There, how is that for honesty? Well read on…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A personal experience<\/strong>
A client came to our studio in the early days of my \u201cregrowth\u201d and when I told her I was not colouring my regrowth on purpose, in the nicest possible way (not meaning to offend me at all) she commented, \u201cyou know it will make you look older\u201d. I so respected her honesty and we had a lovely discussion around the choices women should feel free to make around ageing. It was a confronting experience and if I wasn\u2019t a Stylist by profession I am sure this comment would have really knocked my confidence and made me doubt my decision to let Mother Nature do her thing. However, I looked at it like this…just as I respect some people\u2019s decision to want to use Botox and fillers where I have never wanted to, I also respect \u201cgoing grey\u201d may not be how other\u2019s wish to present themselves. Therefore, it could be confusing to someone as to why I would choose to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, me being the determined and nurturing personality I am, this \u201cgoing grey\u201d journey I am taking has made me even more passionate to be a role model and a support person for women who want to to stop dyeing their hair too. In addition I am also passionate to do my bit in helping to remove any negative stigmas and pressure around ageing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attitude is everything!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
