Question:
I suddenly have a whole head of grey hair! What’s the best way to look after it?

Answer:
Grey hair happens when the hair follicles stop producing melanin, the substance that gives colour to our hair. As we age, melanin production decreases, hence the increase in the appearance of grey hairs.
Grey hair has no pigment, so it can have a very tough, coarse texture that makes it drier and particularly resistant to dyes.
You can disguise the grey with permanent hair colours or try blending them with highlights. If you decide to stay with your natural grey, silver or white hair, keep it looking shiny and healthy with shampoos and conditioners which contains a violet tone to counteract any yellow or green tinge that commonly occurs with grey hair.
