  • Episode 91 - With Amanda Gillespie
    Dec 12 2025

    In this week's episode I'm chatting to Amanda Gillespie, who started to go grey in her 20s, and found that children are the most likely to comment and assume that you must be old if you have grey hair.

    Amanda's the only guest I've had who was tempted to send photo of her dog rather than herself for the episode graphic. Because she's so proud of him, listen in to find out why.

  • Episode 90 - With Susan Ritchie
    Dec 5 2025

    In this episode, I'm chatting to Susan Ritchie, who went grey during Lockdown, having dyed her hair for donkey's years before hand. Dyeing was such a habit, that growing the colour out wasn't something she'd ever considered.

    She'd always had her hair coloured at the hairdressers, and by the time she thought about buying a box dye to colour at home, they had all sold out.

    Susan stuck with the grow out, because she was curious to see the end result... which she no absolutely loves.

  • Episode 88 - With Jo Renshaw Tomlinson
    Nov 21 2025

    In this episode I'm chatting with Jo Renshaw Tomlinson, who is coach, based in Brighton.

    Jo had a change of career direction when she was 44, moving from being a freelance photographer to starting to build her coaching business. Her decision to ditch the dye was driven by a combination of looking to save money and being short on time and energy.

    She didn't enjoy the grow out phase, particularly when she had a Pixie Cut to get rid of the remaining colour.

  • Episode 87 - With Hulya Erbeyli
    Nov 14 2025

    In this episode I'm chatting to Hulya Erbeyli, who is 11 months into her grow out. Like many of us, Hulya spent many years colouring her hair on autopilot, never questioning why she was doing it.

    But all that changed when she was rushing to dye it one morning, and stopped for a moment to ask who she was dyeing it for.

  • Episode 86 - With Sandra Bird
    Nov 7 2025

    This week I'm chatting to Sandra Bird, a holistic practitioner from Suffolk, who first embraced her natural greys in her forties. But she found they made her look and feel dull.

    Over the years, she's flitted between first natural looking dyes, then vivid pinks and purples. Now her hair is white grey again, and she doesn't think she'll be dyeing it.... but never say never!

  • Episode 84 - With Michelle Smith
    Oct 24 2025

    In this week's episode I'm chatting to Michelle Smith, who coloured her hair for 40 years, before growing the colour out Lockdown. She'd always had long hair, but ended up with it very short as part of her grow out.

    And it was the change in length, rather than ditching the dye which had the most reaction from her family and friends.
