Yep, I'm embracing the #grannyhair trend! Check out grey hair on Pinterest to see the gorgeous inspiration pics I've been dying to imitate. Unfortunately, I underestimated just how difficult grey would be to get, and when there are so many people that don't want it. We had to bleach all of my hair until it turned an almost white blonde, tone it to reduce any brassiness, then apply the grey. My BFF (Vicky) warned me that it may not take if the hair isn't light enough and the blonde could be tricky to cover and turns out she was right.

I'll discuss that more in a minute, but here was the final result:

As much as I love it and it's so wonderful not to have 5 inch roots, I think it's more of an ash blonde/silver than grey and there's still alot of blonde showing through, so I've been recommended a few products to try to darken and enhance the grey/silver and I'll be using blue shampoo's to keep it fresh.

If you're thinking of going silver/grey, bear in mind that it can be really difficult to get the perfect shade, and even then, it fades really fast! I'll update after I've tried out a few products (to hopefully take me a more prominent grey), and if anyone has any recommendations, let me know in the comments!
