Oxford circus

As you get older and your hair changes colour, you can either choose to embrace the grey, engage in a long-term project of dying it back to the original shade or experiment with something completely new - like Rita who I spotted on Oxford Street.

With her natural white on top, she chose to get a dark brown added underneath -  a daring contrast, but one that works really well!

I think this a great example of how mature ladies can be as inventive and fun with their hair as the bright, young things who were next door in Topshop - it's all about finding a look that suits.
