In this episode, I'm chatting to Alex Hughes, who went through her grey hair transition nine years ago. Rather than ditching the dye and going cold turkey, Alex just had her hair dyed in gradually lighter shades over 12 - 15 months. Until she was ready to stop colouring all together.

She's finding more and more of her friends are getting curious, and starting to ask how she made the transition. Although most of them don't yet feel brave enough to go on their own grey hair journey.

In this episode, I'm chatting to Catherine Chapman, who chose to go grey after a health scare with her liver. Her research into what caused the problem, suggested that colouring your hair is one of the worst things for your liver, which struggles to detox the hair dye from your body.

Catherine was living in New Zealand during her grow out, where there is a much more relaxed approach towards life, which includes attitudes towards going grey.

In this episode I'm chatting to Angie Newson, who has almost completed her grey hair grow out. She took a phased approach to ditching the dye, starting with the sides, followed by the back. She initially continued to dye the hair at her crown and along her parting. When she stopped dyeing that, she had her brunette shade lightened a couple of times to make the demarcation line look less obvious.

Angie stresses the important of being ready before you go grey. She tested whether it would work for her ten years before she took the plunge, by trying on grey wigs, which told she wasn't yet ready.
