00:00 You completely own it, but of course you're not all grey all over.

00:04 Technically I am, I just dye the rest black.

00:06 Is this natural, the grey here, or do you get it?

00:09 Look, I'm a woman of a certain age and I think many women in their 50s

00:13 wonder if it is time to embrace a silver fox look.

00:17 Seems to work for men, doesn't it? No judgement.

00:21 Do you get comments on the grey streak? I think it's funny.

00:24 A lot. Thank you very much.

00:26 I feel like a woman should do... I'm 55, proudly,

00:29 and I feel like a woman should do what makes her happy.

00:32 I think men are able to age gracefully and we are held to this

00:36 thing that we have to abide to.

00:38 And to be honest, I'm 55, I'm not 25, so why would I try to look 25?

00:44 So I embraced the grey streak during lockdown and it became a thing,

00:48 so I'm sticking with it. Did you have to think about it?

00:51 Or did you have that opinion straight away, as soon as you started to go grey?

00:54 I started to go grey at 19 and I wasn't ready then.

00:58 But at this point... 19?

01:01 19. I started very, very young. Both my parents were snow white in their 20s.

01:05 Oh really? That's in the genes.

01:06 It is in the genetics. But you should do what makes you happy.

01:10 Nobody gets to judge what you do for you.
