Take a Close Look at Your Tresses
Examine the colour and sheen of your hair. “When grey hair is not clean, silver and bright, then add some colour,” Allan advises.

Don’t Grow Out the Grey
Grey hair is often wiry when it grows longer. The solution: “Keep your hair short and tight, because it will always look more appropriate and more polished,” says hair exper Jennifer J.
Find a style you like, then stick to it.
