Just about 10 days in on Instagram and Zeenat Aman, no introductions necessary we hope, already has a way with captions. We can say they’re conversational and insightful whether she’s talking about Bollywood, her fur baby Lily or her day. But honesty is what best captures these short write-ups. Particularly one where the actor talks about donning silver hair. She writes, “As women we are told that our social worth lies in youth and physical beauty.... It was only once I contemplated my own hesitations [about not dyeing her grey hair] that I realised I really don’t care to buttress our society’s idolisation of youth.” Photographs of Aman’s long bob haircut in soft sunlight, taken by her son or photographer Tanya Agarwal, complementing the caption are all the reassurance you need to dispel any uncertainty about not dyeing grey hair. Hair and fashion experts share ways you can style and embrace your new look.

Keep it natural or add lowlights to blend the greys with pigmented hair
