I don’t know if you have seen the actress Helen Mirren on TV recently. What I noticed was her hair color. Her natural hair color is gray/white, but her hair is no longer that color. There was a subtle change in tone. Although I have seen it with blonde highlights, most recently it had an overall, beautiful very light blonde color. This blonde hair color made her look even more attractive.
I think this is a great example and inspiration for anyone who has gray/white hair. Not only did it make her look younger, it made her look better. And when you look good, that is all that matters.
This type of transformation is best suited for three color types, the soft cool (Summer) the strong cool (Winter) and the soft warm (Spring) color types. However, the light blonde needs to be a light gold blonde.
If you have been wanting to do something about your gray hair then you might consider a hair color like Helen Mirreneas. It’s low risk and as it is not a huge transformation and easy to keep up. Your face will be framed by a hair color that has pigments which will make a difference to the color of your face rather than a gray hair color that can makes your skin tone lifeless. Even though silver/gray/white hair is a striking hair color it will dull your skin tone because there are no pigments in gray hair.

Hi Pam,
Helen Mirren very likely has had highlights added to her gray/white hair which is a great idea if you want to soften this type of hair color. It is flattering for your face and skin while gray/white hair unfortunately is not. This is the big disadvantage of white/gray hair even if the color by itself is beautiful. The color/highlights could have been done with either a permanent hair color in the shade of Very Light Blonde – or it was done with a powder highlighting bleach mixed with 20-or 30 volume peroxide. Helen Mirren is an attractive woman but in my opinion has become even more attractive with her blonde highlights.
What color does Helen put on her hair. I am 61 and love the
Lighter color on her. I think it does have a youthful look.
I wear my short hair blonde. What is your opinion on her lighter blond?
