Television presenter Carrie Bickmore is still getting used to her new brunette locks, and has discovered one frustrating downside.

After starting to go grey in her mid-20s, Bickmore says on her latest Instagram post “It’s now an all out assault!!”

Debuting honey coloured streaks in the ends of her chocolate hair yesterday, the mum-of-two added the lighter tones to help disguise the grey, as they are much more visible than when she had blonde hair.

“Colour freshen up today after holiday hair… added some highlights through the bottom and got rid of the greys! I started going grey in my mid-20s but it’s now an all out assault!! Or maybe it’s just that I can see them now with brown hair. Maybe I will just go with it one day and go fully grey. How liberating would that be ladies, anyone done it???”

The face of Garnier Nutrisse made the switch from blonde to brunette in August last year saying at the time: “Do you know, I have the same colour hair for 35 years and I was bored and I thought, ‘Why not? I’m giving it a whirl.”

This all-too-relatable grey hair problem sparked over 450 comments from women who loved Carrie’s honesty about a sometimes taboo topic. We can’t wait to see what colour she goes for next!
