Happier Grey Podcast Episode 108 - With Sue Whitaker

In this episode I'm chatting to Sue Whitaker who originally started dyeing her hair whilst working in a corporate environment, after senior managers suggested she would be taken more seriously if she wore more make-up, switched her trousers for dresses, and had neater hair. Sue grew her colour out in Lockdown, and found them middle stages of her grow out the most challenging. Whilst her family were very supportive, her work colleagues had plenty to say.

Happier Grey Podcast Episode 106 - With Minal Patel

In this episode I'm chatting with Minal Patel who is almost 5 months into her grow out. She considered grey blending, but decided it wasn't for her. Instead she's chosen to let her colour grow out naturally. So far, she's much more comfortable with the grow out than she expected to be. It took Minal quite a while to decide to go grey. Initially she had it it pencilled in for when she was 60. But last year, she decided that waiting another three years just didn't make sense, so she had the final colour in December.

There are lots of different reasons why women choose to embrace their natural silvering hair, but this week's guest Jo Brianti's grow out was triggered by the realisation that she was trying to spin too many plates. When a dramatic incident brought things to a head. Initially, her new salt and pepper shade took some getting used to, and she wasn't sure she liked it. The colour has continued to change over time, and Jo now loves the much whiter shade she has now.

Happier Grey Podcast Episode 104 - With Alexis Eizinas

In this episode I'm chatting with Alexis Eizinas, who used the insights from her career in beauty industry to launch make-up and haircare lines designed for Silver Sisters, under her Silvering brand. Alexis chose to ditch they dye during her pregnancy, and has never been tempted to colour again, because she thinks grey hair is amazing. At the time of recording, Alexis and her co-founder were in the process of developing an App, the Silvering Sage, to help women through their grey hair grow out. There's a waitlist you can join, that'll let you know when the App goes live.
