Wedding Hair Tips for Mature Brides: The Best Ways to Soften Greys and Boost Shine

Pesky greys getting you down? Discover how to seamlessly blend them in and bring back that shine with celebrity hairstylist Jason Collier, founder of Studio 23 and Jerome Russell Bblonde key opinion leader. 

“When grey hairs start appearing, it’s all about working with them rather than against them. For brides who love their highlights but want a softer, golden finish, the key is creating a multi-dimensional blend rather than one flat tone. Opting for a warmer, honey or golden blonde helps to soften regrowth lines and camouflage greys more naturally.”

“Balayage or micro-highlighting techniques are perfect for this. By weaving in lighter pieces around the face and through the mids and ends, you create that luminous, sun-kissed finish without overprocessing the hair. If your natural base is darker, ask your colourist to include a few lowlights for depth — this stops the overall tone from looking too pale or harsh. If you’re looking to DIY, try Jerome Russell’s Balayage Kit.”

“Maintain your tone with a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and a weekly toning mask. These will keep your colour bright, silky and reflective — the perfect prep for that wedding-day glow.”
