Dear Hillary,
I have a small problem. I am noticing that I am getting a few grey hairs at the temples and one of my friends suggested I use some preparation to bring the color back again. As I am almost 50 years old, I can see this will start to get worse. Like most people I really do not want to start looking old before my time, but I am just a little hesitant. As a woman of the world, Hillary, do you think I should do it?

Dear greying English Brian,
Here’s the news and it’s all bad, Petal. The preparation doesn’t bring the color back, it just paints the hair. As soon as you’ve done that the hair continues to grow so you get grey roots and it is a battle you can’t win. After a few weeks the hair goes that strange orange color that you see round town too. You can either let it go grey naturally or shave the lot off. It’s up to you as they say in the classics. Anyway, grey hair gets respect in this country, it’s not like jolly old England, old chap.
