there’s no rule that says greys must be battled; a glossy, nicely maintained head of silver is just as fabulous as any expensive dye job, and you’ll love what ditching the dye does for your condition. “to make the transition, i would recommend embracing grey partially at first – mixing in other shades that complement the skin tone will keep the look youthful,” says Sibi. “At home, opt for a semi-permanent colour, which is less opaque than permanent so feels less blocky and easier to grow out.” if you’ve already embraced grey, a healthy shine is your numberone goal to counteract pigmentless strands’ lack of light reflection. Foamy Rita Hazan True Colour Ultimate Shine Gloss in Clear, £21, goes on between your shampoo and conditioner to add a reflective coating, then create “blow dry” style tension with the indispensable BaByliss Sheer Volume Ionic Rotating Brush,

£80, for a sleek surface. Finish with a few drops of Charlotte Mensah Manketti Hair Oil, £42, a new find that smells utterly delicious, is spot-on for Afro and natural texture but, used sparingly, gives sparkling shine to any hair type. w&h
