GRANT BETTJEMAN TALKS ABOUT GREY HAIR STRATEGIES THAT
ARE COMPATIBLE WITH A STRONG SENSE OF PERSONAL STYLE.
GREY IS
THE NEW
BLACK
“How do I wear my grey hair without feeling like ‘Nana’? As part of my ongoing discussion
BEF OR E
about what to do with grey hair, in Paula Style I’ve chosen to talk about how to wear grey
hair successfully. In other words, letting the natural grey take over.”
“In a world where ‘down-ageing’ is the catchphrase and women are staying in the workforce
longer, there is a feeling that to stay relevant we need to look younger. Colouring over grey
hair is simply too time-consuming or too expensive for some women and we are being
asked more than ever to offer a grey alternative that still looks edgy and young.
The two key factors about making grey hair look young are GROOMING and a FUNKY
haircut. Coloured hair looks groomed by definition. We need to up the anti when wearing
grey hair. Short funky cuts that have a strong modern edge help dispel the age stigma that
grey hair inevitably has. A chic, sharp, shoulder-length bob can look stunning, however
shorter, product-driven shapes with a choppy texture and a fun, youthful feel work best.
Exaggerated shapes with short undercuts and longer fringes ensure that no matter how
the hair is styled, the shape remains strong. Modern fashionable clothes, coupled with
immaculate makeup and stunning accessories are an important part of the groomed
woman who wants to ‘rock out’ the grey hair. This magazine has a huge selection of
beautiful, stylish clothes for the groomed, funky woman.
Come in and talk to one of our talented stylists before you commit. At Bettjemans a
15-minute makeover consultation with a senior stylist costs $50. However if you decide to
have the work carried out at our salon, this amount will be deducted from your final bill. It’s
a great way to get expert advice about your cut and style before you commit.” BEF OR E
