Afternoon beauty fix: To grey, or not to grey?
I used to have dark hair but it’s turning grey—should I invest the time and money to dye it regularly, or embrace the change and go grey with grace?
Keep it! Grey hair is totally on trend—Kristen McMenamy recently wore it on the cover of Italian Vogue. Besides, we’re calling bluff on the common complaint that grey hair is more coarse and brittle than its pigmented cousin—softness and manageability comes with proper care, and that begins in the shower. Clarifying shampoos cleanse and coat your hair with purple pigment to keep brassy tinges at bay—Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo ($10, sallybeauty.com), John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Correcting Shampoo ($12 at drugstores) and Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo ($32, aveda.com) all have a slight blue tinge that washes down the drain, but not before brightening your grey into a lustrous, shining silver. Keep your hair cut to perfection and wear pretty pastel makeup; you’ll be the hottest babe on the street, we swear.
