I used to colour my hair pretty consistently before, and one day I just decided to go back to my natural colour. I didn\u2019t realise I had quite so much grey in my hair at the time, but I was tired of colouring it every two weeks to touch up the roots. It became an annoyance, sapped the pleasure from having my hair done and was a real chore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy natural colour used to be quite dark, almost black, so the lighter grey I have at the front became visible really quickly. That\u2019s when I started experimenting with lighter shades and playing with some crazier, more vibrant colours. But then, every inch that grew out, I was just feeling more and more like: \u2018Actually, <strong><em>yes<\/em><\/strong>! This is what I want!\u2019 At the time, I thought that if I didn\u2019t like it, I could always go back to covering it up\u2026 but I like to challenge myself and this felt like a big chance. A big, positive turning point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a few months, I liked what I saw more and more. People on the street were looking, and I was thinking: \u2018Okay, do they like it or do they hate it?\u2019 But it doesn\u2019t matter \u2013 they were looking anyway\u2026 And I like that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely feel more like myself now I\u2019ve embraced my grey hair. And I can truly say that as I\u2019ve tried almost every colour along the way \u2013 black, blonde, red, you name it! None of them felt right. This really does; it feels good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-242280 aligncenter entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexQuote.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexQuote.jpg 500w, https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexQuote-480x240.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexQuote.jpg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\">\n<div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-242955 aligncenter entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexsignoffNEW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"98\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexsignoffNEW.jpg 350w, https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexsignoffNEW-300x84.jpg 300w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexsignoffNEW.jpg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-242697 size-full entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexBEFOREMONTAGE.jpeg\" alt=\"Panel of four images of grey-haired model on set for Wella Professionals True Grey cover shoot\" width=\"1000\" height=\"350\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexBEFOREMONTAGE.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexBEFOREMONTAGE-980x343.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexBEFOREMONTAGE-480x168.jpeg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexBEFOREMONTAGE.jpeg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-242268 aligncenter entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexFORMULAHEADER.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"112\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexFORMULAHEADER.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexFORMULAHEADER-980x110.jpg 980w, https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexFORMULAHEADER-480x54.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/creativeheadmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AlexFORMULAHEADER.jpg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\">\n<div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"gallery_60ba1de3641391439b5c50327ee4f921\" class=\"nextgen_pro_sidescroll nextgen_pro_sidescroll_open\">\n<div class=\"nextgen_pro_sidescroll_wrapper\">\n<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"image-wrapper\">\n<p>The new appreciation of all things grey is indicative of just how fascinating the colour can be. Just like all the other shades on the colour chart, grey is never one note. Natural grey hair represents a beautiful play of light and shadows, a subtle world of dimensions and textures, of nuances and reflections. These shifting shades are especially evident on clients like Alex, who have an abundance of hair to work with.<\/p>\n<p>For each individual, placement is key when it comes to accentuating the natural beauty of their personal grey, and here shimmering silver allows the face to glow, while the introduction of depth behind a face frame makes a paler tone pop all the more brilliantly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAlex is somebody who\u2019s exited the colour market some years ago, but the current stage of her journey also matches someone who\u2019s maybe always wanted to do something with their hair, but actually has been a bit nervous about the longevity of colour results,\u201d explains Robert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs her hair is so beautifully long, if you think about the lengths and ends of the hair, some of those may be 6 or 7 years old so anything we do to it we\u2019re going to have to respect the integrity and condition of the hair as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn-salon expertise paired with the True Grey treatment has helped to create shine and improve the condition of the hair,\u201d he adds, \u201cand the approach to shade placement was very much about understanding the tonal pattern of her grey and how it was falling.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row\">\n<div
