Hair ageing

Hair ageing, Everyone knows when you get to a certain age the hair follicles of our once brunette or whatever shade we were of hair begins to turn into a spectrum of shades from grey to white. Of course many people carry on dying their hair but I must say I'm a fan of the salt and pepper look.

Everyone is different, but the ageing of hair can also effect the texture and how much hair is left on your head; just look at many men with bald spots. Of course a bald older lady is more unusual because women have a less likely chance to thin.

For me now if it didn't ruin my hair I'd happily turn it grey, it looks lovely.

This model still looks amazing, the article in the link is really factual and helpful

Of course Miss Havisham is older in the book she is described as having white hair, not only have the twenty years of a repressed existence have caused some mental issues but Miss Havisham would of aged, from the abuse her body has been given we can presume she hasn't aged that gracefully. All the television and film versions of Miss Havisham are of an ageing women, her hair is either white much like the Great Expectations 2011 version with Gillian Anderson or with a mixture of salt and pepper style like Helen Bonham Carter in the 2012 version

Now with my Model I have looked at how to age her hair, even if subtle the hair would look best most with its full colour, in Ky's case this means ageing her very dark brown afro hair which will be curled tightly. 

In class we used our Supra Color by Kryolan using white and black shades with a mascara want through the hair, this exercise was fun because its always fun making your class mates look older; the colour itself being a creamy texture took easily to the hair and was easy to blend on the website the colours are also said to be metallic pigment free which obviously is good for me ageing the hair as then it will look more realistic. For the hair ageing I also looked into powdering the hair with just white powder as the entire project at uni is about continuity it would be easier to achieve the second assessment around as it is easier to evenly dispense upon the hair.
