From a sunlit first coffee to a quiet rooftop dinner, six Dubai restaurants matched to six different moods, because how we eat depends on how we feel. 6 Dubai Restaurants, 6 Different Moods From a sunlit first coffee to a quiet rooftop dinner, six Dubai restaurants matched to six different moods, because how we eat depends on how we feel. by Rave Staff 28 Jul 2025 Not every meal is about the food. Sometimes it’s the lighting, the crowd, the silence, or the noise. Sometimes it’s the first coffee of the day in a sunlit space. Other times, it’s a quiet rooftop dinner where you just want to be left alone for a while. Because let’s be honest, how we eat isn’t always about what’s on the plate. It’s about how we’re feeling that day. You might want a place where no one expects small talk. Or maybe you need somewhere that lets you dress up and feel like you’re part of something. Sometimes you want comfort. Other times, you want to feel like you’re in a different city altogether. Dubai’s dining scene has grown past the “new opening” rush. It’s not just about who’s posting from where. It’s about matching your pace. The version of you that steps out the door, tired, excited, burnt out, in need of company, or craving solitude. This list isn’t about food trends or popular picks. It’s about mood. About places that fit how you feel. So the next time you’re choosing where to go, skip the top 10 lists. Start with your mood. Normal Day Mood: Slow mornings, clean aesthetics, no pressure Tucked into Dubai’s quieter corners, Normal Day isn’t trying to be loud. It’s minimal, sun-washed, and designed to ease you into your day. The menu is simple, think eggs, toast, and coffee that doesn’t need syrup. It’s the kind of place you go alone with a book, or with a friend who won’t talk too much. Neutral interiors, soft wood, no forced energy. Just a place to breathe. Bisou Mood: French elegance, velvet seats, and date-night subtlety Bisou doesn’t scream “romantic”, it whispers it. Low lighting, plush textures, and a menu that leans French without being fussy. It’s a solid pick for when you want to dress up without trying too hard. The kind of place where conversations linger, and dessert is never optional. Perfect for an unhurried dinner with the right person, or even better, a solo evening with your phone on airplane mode. Jardin Des Arts Mood: Afternoon charm, garden escapes, refined taste Jardin Des Arts feels like a reset. Everything is styled, from the foliage to the flatware, but nothing feels artificial. It’s polished, yes, but not overdone. Ideal for long lunches, soft conversations, and maybe a meeting that doesn’t feel like one. There’s a stillness here that makes you slow down. It’s not the place you go to be seen. It’s the place you go to feel present. Reform Social & Grill Mood: Comfort-first, no judgment, just good food Some days, you just want something familiar. Reform doesn’t care about your outfit, and you won’t care about theirs. It’s British pub energy without the grime, family-friendly, open-air, and ideal for late breakfasts that become early lunches. You’ll find dogs, kids, football on screens, and a crowd that didn’t come to be curated. It’s honest, hearty, and refreshingly unbothered. Folly Brasserie Mood: Quiet corners, glass ceilings, and the feeling of elsewhere Folly Brasserie is calm by design. Set in a glasshouse with high ceilings and soft lighting, it feels removed from the rest of the city. There’s the sound of water, open space, and enough privacy to settle in. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need to talk much, and no one’s in a hurry. Come here when you want dinner to feel like a break, not a scene. Gerbou Mood: Rooted, thoughtful, and quietly revolutionary Gerbou is for when you want meaning with your meal. Tucked inside Alserkal Avenue, this Emirati fine dining spot doesn’t rely on flash it leans into intention. The ingredients are local, the storytelling is layered, and the space is as restrained as it is elegant. It’s where you go when you want to think, reflect, or just be around something that feels considered . Food as identity, space as message.

Our review of Alara at Jumeirah Emirates Towers: an alfresco modern majlis serving Levantine hospitality with views of the Museum of the Future. RAVE REVIEWS: Under the Stars at Alara, Jumeirah Emirates Towers Our review of Alara at Jumeirah Emirates Towers: an alfresco modern majlis serving Levantine hospitality with views of the Museum of the Future. by Khadija Husain 14 Dec 2024 On a breezy evening, we found ourselves stepping into Alara, the latest alfresco dining gem in Dubai, nestled at Jumeirah Emirates Towers. As we settled into our seats, the iconic Museum of the Future shimmered in the backdrop, setting the tone for an evening that promised to be as vibrant as the city itself. Alara isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. A modern reinterpretation of the traditional majlis, it’s where the familiar warmth of Levantine hospitality meets contemporary Dubai chic. Plush seating, intimate lighting, and the inviting aroma of fresh spices created an ambience that immediately drew us in. Adding to the atmosphere, the soulful melodies of live oud music floated through the air, blending seamlessly with the serene setting. This traditional touch, combined with the venue's modern elegance, made the evening feel truly magical. The Spread That Had Us Savoring Every Bite Our evening began with a mezzeh selection that set the bar high. The Greek Salad was a crisp medley of freshness, the Fattoush delivered the perfect tangy crunch, and the Beetroot Hummus—with its silky texture and earthy sweetness—was a table favorite. But the stars of the show were undoubtedly Alara’s “Only at Alara” specials. The Pollo a la Brasa Burger had us swooning with its juicy, vertical-grilled chicken layered with avocado, Jack cheese, and a tangy green sauce, all nestled in a soft potato bun. Paired with Cajun-spiced fries, it was indulgence done right. Next up, the Turkish Lamb Lachmachun. This thin-crust delight was topped with spiced lamb, onions, sumac, and a dollop of tangy yoghurt sauce—a bite that was as bold as it was comforting. Sweet Endings with a Hint of Gold No review would be complete without dessert, and Alara didn’t disappoint. The assorted baklava was a delightful medley of flaky layers, pistachios, and syrupy sweetness. But the pièce de résistance? The Baklava Cheesecake Cone. This signature dessert combined creamy cheesecake infused with date extract, a sprinkle of pistachios, and a touch of gold dust. It was almost too beautiful to eat—almost. Pair your meal with one of their crafted drinks, and you're in for a treat. The Zero Colada, their standout mocktail, was a tropical blend of coconut and pineapple, offering a refreshing twist. It was the perfect accompaniment to a night under the stars The evening ended with a round of Moroccan mint tea, a soothing and fragrant finish to a meal that left us deeply satisfied. Why Alara Deserves a Spot on Your Must-Visit List Open daily from 4:00 PM to midnight, Alara is more than a restaurant; it’s a haven for those looking to unwind, reconnect, and soak in Dubai’s dynamic energy. Whether you’re catching up with friends, relaxing after a long day, or simply enjoying board games under the stars, Alara offers a space that feels both indulgent and welcoming. With its stunning location, impeccable menu, and a setting that celebrates both tradition and modernity, Alara is the perfect spot to enjoy Dubai’s cool evenings. Insider Tip : Book your table early ( jumeirah.com/alara or +971 4 330 0000) to secure the best views. And whatever you do, don’t skip the Baklava Cheesecake Cone—it’s a dessert that dreams are made of. We left Alara with full hearts, satisfied palates, and a promise to return soon. Because at Alara, it’s not just about dining—it’s about creating moments worth savoring. Image Courtesy of Alara

Global Village Season 31 VIP Packs explained: all six packs, prices, perks, what's changed since last season and how to buy before they sell out. Global Village VIP Packs Season 31: Prices, Perks and What to Know Global Village Season 31 VIP Packs explained: all six packs, prices, perks, what's changed since last season and how to buy before they sell out. by Layla Hassan 26 Sep 2026 Global Village’s Season 31 VIP Packs went on sale on 26 September, exclusively on the Coca-Cola Arena website. If you’re planning to buy one, it’s worth deciding quickly: stock is limited, each Emirates ID can buy only one pack, and packs have sold out fast before – in Season 27, back in 2022, they were gone in under an hour. The park reopens on Wednesday 14 October, and the season runs until May 2027. This guide explains what a VIP Pack actually gets you, covers all six, and walks you through choosing the right one. First, what is a VIP Pack? A VIP Pack is a season bundle for regular visitors. Instead of buying a ticket at the gate each time, you get a set number of entry tickets for the whole season, VIP parking just 100 metres from the Cultural Gate, and credit for Carnaval’s rides and games, along with show entries and discounts at other Dubai attractions. There are six packs this season. Four are Global Village-only: Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Two are ‘Mega’ packs that add Dubai Parks and Resorts passes on top. What’s new this season A new box. The packs come in a ‘Global Village Story Book’ box designed as a keepsake, with seven Season 31 pins honouring the UAE inside. A bigger prize. One pack contains a cheque for AED 31,000, up from AED 30,000 last season. Higher prices. Every pack costs more than in Season 30, by between AED 40 (Gold) and AED 350 (Diamond). Reworked Mega packs. Last season they included a Dubai Parks and Resorts annual pass. This season, that has been replaced with bundles of three-month passes or day tickets. What every pack includes VIP entry tickets. Each ticket admits one person once, so a family of four uses four tickets per visit. VIP parking. A parking voucher and car sticker for the VIP zone, 100 metres from the Cultural Gate. Two Wonder Pass cards. Preloaded with points for Carnaval’s rides and games, which average 25 points each. VIP cards also get up to 50% bonus points when you top up. Shows and attractions. Star Seating at the Stunt Show, plus entry to Neon Galaxy X and Exo Planet City. Partner offers. Free Dubai Parks and Resorts, Real Madrid World tickets and Riverland packages; 50% off at The Green Planet and on Roxy Cinemas Platinum tickets; 40% off T-Rex Glamping; and 20% off food and drink at Dubai Parks and Ain Dubai. How to choose: three questions 1. How often will you go, and with how many people? Start with the entry tickets. Multiply the number of people in your group by the number of visits you expect to make. A couple going once a week for the whole season will use around 50 entries, so Silver may be enough. A family of four going most weekends could use 100 to 140, which puts you in Gold territory. For comparison, a standard ticket cost AED 25–30 at the gate last season. At those prices, Silver’s 100 entries would be worth AED 2,500–3,000, so the pack only pays off if you use most of them. Season 31 gate prices haven’t been announced yet. 2. How many cars will you bring? Silver, Gold and the Mega packs include one parking voucher. Platinum includes two, and Diamond three, along with a remote-controlled dedicated space. If your household often arrives in two cars, that is the main reason to step up to Platinum. 3. Do you also go to Dubai Parks and Resorts? If you do, look at the Mega packs. Mega Silver costs the same as Platinum (AED 3,490), so you’re choosing between more Global Village entries and a second parking space (Platinum) and a bundle of Dubai Parks passes (Mega Silver). The packs, one by one Silver The entry-level pack. You get 100 entry tickets, one parking voucher and sticker, 840 Wonder Pass points (around 33 rides), and two entries each to the Stunt Show, Neon Galaxy X and Exo Planet City. The partner offers include four free Dubai Parks and Resorts tickets, two Real Madrid World tickets and two Riverland Plus packages. Best for: couples and occasional visitors. Price: AED 1,890 Available at: Coca-Cola Arena Buy: coca-cola-arena.com Gold Everything in Silver, but with 140 entries and 1,250 points (around 50 rides). The extra AED 600 gets you 40 more entries and around 17 more rides. It also had the smallest price rise this season, just AED 40. Best for: families who go most weekends. Price: AED 2,490 Available at: Coca-Cola Arena Buy: coca-cola-arena.com Platinum 160 entries, 1,640 points (around 65 rides) and a second parking voucher. The partner offers double: eight free Dubai Parks and Resorts tickets, four Real Madrid World tickets and four Riverland Premium packages, plus four Neon Galaxy X entries. Best for: households arriving in two cars. Price: AED 3,490 Available at: Coca-Cola Arena Buy: coca-cola-arena.com Diamond The top tier. You get 200 entries, 3,050 points (around 120 rides), three parking vouchers, two stickers and a remote for your own dedicated parking space. It also adds four in-park taxi rides, four car washes and four porter services, plus four entries to each show and attraction. This pack had the biggest price rise, AED 350. Best for: visitors who put convenience first, especially on busy weekends. Price: AED 7,900 Available at: Coca-Cola Arena Buy: coca-cola-arena.com Mega Silver Everything in Silver, plus a choice of five three-month Dubai Parks and Resorts multi-park passes (to be activated by 31 May 2027) or seven one-day, two-park tickets (to be used by 31 August 2027). Last season this pack came with an annual pass, so it now suits families who want several people covered for a few months rather than one person covered all year. Best for: Families who split their time between Global Village and Dubai Parks. Price: AED 3,490 Available at: Coca-Cola Arena Buy: coca-cola-arena.com Mega Gold Everything in Gold, plus eight three-month passes or twelve day tickets, with the same deadlines as Mega Silver. Best for: larger families who are regulars at both. Price: AED 4,990 Available at: Coca-Cola Arena Buy: coca-cola-arena.com Not a regular? If you’ll only visit a handful of times, a VIP Pack is probably more than you need. Global Village’s Family Fun Pass, listed at AED 399 on its website, includes four entry tickets, a Wonder Pass with 400 points and a free Carnaval ride. Season 31 tickets, including the Family Fun Pass, go on sale later this year. How to buy, step by step Check you’re eligible. You must be 18 or over with a valid Emirates ID.

Our Rave Dines review of Bushman's at Anantara The Palm: a rustic dining room and al fresco surf shack on the East Crescent with Dubai skyline views. Rave Dines: Bushman’s Restaurant, Anantara The Palm Our Rave Dines review of Bushman's at Anantara The Palm: a rustic dining room and al fresco surf shack on the East Crescent with Dubai skyline views. by Khadija Husain 5 Jan 2026 Looking for a new and exciting haunt for a precious date night or an evening out with your friends? Bushman’s is the restaurant to go to. Set along the Palm’s East Crescent at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort, the restaurant combines its lush rustic interior perfectly with its al fresco ‘surf shack’ area overlooking the Arabian Gulf. The uninterrupted views stretching towards the Dubai skyline alone make the journey worthwhile. Upon entering the eatery, the décor immediately captivates with a well-thought-out interior. Dark leather chairs, wood panelling, and brick accents add depth and character. The walls are adorned with unique art pieces, while the bar features interesting currency displays. Cork-lined ceilings and creatively designed lamps contribute to a visually engaging yet tasteful setting. The menu at Bushman’s takes diners on a culinary journey across continents, offering an impressive selection of premium cuts that are sure to delight steak enthusiasts. Guests can choose from the prized Japanese Hokkaido Wagyu A5 Sirloin, richly marbled Australian Wagyu, heritage Argentinian breeds, and distinctive cuts from New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. Each cut, including tenderloin, ribeye, striploin, and tomahawk, is expertly grilled to individual preference, showcasing a hand-selected collection of the finest beef from around the world. What truly sets Bushman’s apart, though, is its in-house dry ager. where select cuts mature for 30 days in a climate-controlled cabinet. This natural process softens the fibres, concentrates flavour, and results in tender, flavour-packed steaks with rich umami notes and that irresistible nutty depth only dry ageing can create. A tableside preparation of steak tartare is an ideal start to the evening of indulgence, while a seasonal plate of heirloom tomatoes with compressed persimmon offers a a lighter alternative. For a more generous appetite, the 1.2 kg 300-day grain-fed USA Black Angus Onyx Tomahawk is presented whole, accompanied by a tasting of sauces and two classic sides. To conclude, the deconstructed Pavlova is prepared in front of guests, its meringue delicately balanced with cream and fresh fruit to provide a sinful ending to an elegant evening. This sharing platter concept was certainly the climax of a delightful evening as the chef crafted a visual and culinary masterpiece tableside. What more could one ask for?

We spent a month with Yasmina, Yango's bilingual Arabic-English AI assistant. Here's how the Khaleeji-speaking smart speaker performs at home. Meet Yasmina: Yango's AI Speaker That Knows Your Language, Culture and Mood We spent a month with Yasmina, Yango's bilingual Arabic-English AI assistant. Here's how the Khaleeji-speaking smart speaker performs at home. by Aziz Mansoor 4 Oct 2025 There’s a new voice echoing through Middle Eastern homes, warm, bilingual, and surprisingly human. Her name is Yasmina. Yango Group’s homegrown AI assistant that speaks both Arabic and English fluently, switching between them as easily as we do in daily life. I spent the past month living with the Yasmina Lite, the smallest and most affordable version in the lineup, to see if this smart speaker could actually make life simpler, not just for adults juggling work and home, but also for children growing up in an increasingly digital world. Let’s start with the obvious: Yasmina doesn’t sound like a stranger. She understands Khaleeji Arabic, switches between Arabic and English with ease, and adjusts her tone accordingly depending on the question. Ask her for prayer times, a quick recipe for machboos, or the latest headlines, and she replies naturally, with a voice that feels warm, conversational, even friendly. When she says “Sabah el khair,” it actually sounds like it’s coming from someone who knows what that means. That’s something Alexa and Google Assistant never quite nailed here. Yasmina feels like she belongs. Her local intelligence extends to the small details, too. She knows when the next public holiday is, can tell you the Hijri date, and even plays Quran recitations on command. It’s clear Yango built this for the region, not just translated it. Setting Up Yasmina Lite Setting up the Yasmina Lite took less than five minutes through the Yango Play app. Once connected, she instantly recognised my voice and asked if I’d like to link other family members. She can learn up to four distinct voice profiles. which is brilliant for families. She knows when it’s me asking for news versus when a child asks for a bedtime story. The Lite version is compact, about the size of a small candle, and fits easily on a nightstand or kitchen counter. It connects through the Yango Play app, which doubles as a hub for entertainment, music, and smart home controls. The speaker’s sound quality is balanced. its not designed to fill a massive room with bass, but it’s clean and crisp enough for podcasts, casual music, or kids’ audiobooks or quick chats without distortion. There’s also a “whisper mode” that lowers her voice for nighttime conversations— an unexpectedly thoughtful touch. How Yasmina Fits Into Daily Life After a few days, Yasmina quietly became part of the routine. In the mornings, she reads out the day’s news while I’m making coffee.She can remind you about meetings, switch off the living room lamp (if connected to a smart plug), and even remind you of your workout routine if you ask. She’s also emotionally intuitive in a way I didn’t expect. Ask, “Yasmina, I’m tired,” and she doesn’t just tell you to sleep; she offers a few soft words, a gentle quote, or a lullaby. It sounds small, but it makes the interaction feel less robotic and more like a companion. For Families and Kids Here’s where Yasmina truly shines: she’s a digital babysitter without the guilt. Children can ask her for riddles, math help, or Arabic /English vocabulary. She can tell stories and also answer geography questions, or play word games, and she responds patiently. I asked my niece, who’s nine, to test it, and she was hooked in minutes. She was laughing, learning about planets, and asking how to say “thank you” in Japanese. It’s rare to find tech that entertains and educates without overstimulating. Yasmina walks that line beautifully. She can also play bedtime stories, set prayer reminders for kids, and even help with Quran memorization features that feel thoughtfully tailored for the region’s families. How It Saves Time The real benefit of Yasmina is time. Instead of checking three apps for weather, news, and calendar, I just ask her. When I’m cooking, she converts measurements instantly. If I forget an appointment, she reminds me in a calm, almost human tone — never abrupt. Pros Deep cultural fluency – understands regional Arabic and English dialects naturally. Personalisation – up to four users, each with tailored responses. Educational and family-friendly – no inappropriate content, highly interactive for kids. Compact and beautifully designed – the Lite model is minimal yet functional. Emotionally aware – tone and responses feel human, not mechanical. Affordable – at AED 199, it undercuts most smart speakers. Cons Audio power – not designed for big-room playback or party-level music. Limited third-party integrations – fewer smart device connections than Alexa or Google (for now). Requires the Yango Play app for most advanced features — without it, you lose half the experience. Final Thoughts After testing Yasmina Lite, I found myself talking to her more often than I expected. Not because she’s flashy, but because she’s useful . She saves a few minutes here, a few clicks there, and occasionally makes you smile — which, in today’s world, is no small thing. For families, especially those raising bilingual children, Yasmina bridges cultures in a way that feels natural. For adults, she’s a small but clever time-saver who brings structure, warmth, and a local touch to daily routines.

Olivia Colman’s Miu Miu runway appearance has put grey hair back in the conversation. Dubai colourist Irina Ulezko explains how to transition, blend and care for silver hair without committing to constant root touch-ups. What Olivia Colman’s Miu Miu Moment Says About Grey Hair Now Olivia Colman’s Miu Miu runway appearance has put grey hair back in the conversation. Dubai colourist Irina Ulezko explains how to transition, blend and care for silver hair without committing to constant root touch-ups. by Khadija Husain 19 Oct 2026 When Olivia Colman walked the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2027 runway in Paris on 4 October, her silver-grey hair, swept into a low ponytail, was as striking as her sleek black leather tailoring. The look was carefully constructed, too. Her hairstylist, Inanch Emir, told Elle he used extensions in four shades of grey to match Colman’s own hair and add depth and dimension. It was a reminder that grey can be a considered beauty choice, not something to conceal. For Irina Ulezko, Technical Director and Grey Blending Specialist at Dubai’s Salon 971, that ease is exactly why the moment resonated. “I think it was powerful because she wasn’t trying to disguise her age or make a statement about it. She simply looked beautiful, confident and completely comfortable in herself,” she says. “What I particularly love is that her grey hair wasn’t the story of her beauty. It was simply part of it.” In Dubai’s salons, the conversation is shifting too. “A few years ago, most clients would ask how we could completely cover their grey. Now, more women are asking how we can work with it,” says Ulezko. “They’re interested in grey blending, softer regrowth and colour that doesn’t require them to return to the salon every three or four weeks.” That doesn’t necessarily mean going fully grey. For many, the aim is simply to soften the contrast between natural regrowth and coloured lengths, making colour easier to live with. As Ulezko puts it, “It’s becoming less about hiding grey and more about creating a colour that evolves beautifully with them.” There is no particular age at which you should stop colouring. For Ulezko, the better question is whether your current colour still works for you. “I think you’re ready when colouring your hair starts to feel like an obligation rather than something you enjoy,” she says. “I meet women who have been colouring their roots every three weeks for years. They love the result for the first week, but then spend the next two weeks worrying about their regrowth.” Nor does the change have to be abrupt. “The biggest mistake is thinking you have to stop colouring overnight and live with a harsh line of regrowth,” says Ulezko. This is where grey blending comes in. Rather than a single service, it is an overall approach, built from a handful of techniques chosen according to your existing colour and natural grey pattern. At its heart, she explains, “we use carefully placed highlights and sometimes lowlights to soften the contrast between the natural grey and previously coloured hair.” Other techniques can include: • Lowlights: “These reintroduce depth and dimension, particularly when the hair has become predominantly white or silver.” • Toners: “These help refine the overall shade, neutralise unwanted warmth and create a softer, more harmonious finish.” Patience matters, particularly for anyone with a long history of dark colour. “For clients with years of dark permanent colour, the transition may require several appointments. We have to respect the condition of the hair rather than trying to achieve everything in one session,” she notes. “My goal is always to create a transition that looks intentional and beautiful at every stage, not just at the end.” One of the most persistent misconceptions is that grey hair is a single, flat shade. “Grey hair is rarely just grey!” says Ulezko. “When you look closely, you’ll see combinations of white, silver, charcoal, pearl and sometimes warmer tones.” It’s the same principle behind the four blended greys of Colman’s runway look: dimension. “If we make everything one flat silver shade, we can actually lose the movement and softness in the hair,” Ulezko explains. “By strategically placing lighter and darker tones, we can enhance the haircut, frame the face and create the appearance of fuller, more textured hair.” That individuality is also why Colman’s look is best treated as inspiration rather than a blueprint. “Your natural grey pattern, skin tone, eye colour, haircut and even your lifestyle all influence what will suit you,” says Ulezko. “Some women look incredible with bright, cool silver tones, while others are much more flattered by soft champagne, beige or warmer greys.” Her advice: “A beautiful result should feel like an extension of your own personality, not somebody else’s.” Wearing grey well in the UAE comes with its own set of challenges. “Grey hair often has a different texture from pigmented hair. Some clients find it becomes coarser, drier or more wiry, although this varies from person to person,” says Ulezko. “Combine that with strong UV exposure, heat styling, humidity and swimming pools, and the hair can quickly lose its softness and shine.” Silver and white hair are also prone to yellowing from environmental exposure, product build-up and heat. Her prescription is simple: UV protection, good hydration, regular conditioning treatments and a lighter hand with the hot tools. That care matters most when moving away from permanent colour, when, as she puts it, “protecting the integrity of the hair is absolutely essential.” As a K18 Ambassador, Ulezko counts the bond-repair treatment among her favourites for clients undergoing colour transformations, alongside professional conditioning treatments and carefully selected toning products. “Beautiful grey hair should look healthy and glossy, not dry or overprocessed.” One common habit she would rethink: “Purple shampoo isn’t necessarily your best friend! Used too frequently, it can leave grey hair looking dull or violet.” Used appropriately, it can help counter unwanted yellow tones, but how often to reach for it depends on your hair and the product. Perhaps the biggest myth of all, Ulezko says, is “that going grey means you’re giving up on your appearance. I actually think it can be quite the opposite.” The right haircut, tone, placement and condition all play their part, and embracing grey doesn’t close the door on colour. “You can be naturally grey, partially blended, beautifully silver or still enjoy highlights. For me, modern beauty is about having that choice.” Colman’s runway look shows that grey hair need not be explained or disguised. As Ulezko puts it, “Grey hair shouldn’t define your age. It should simply be another beautiful way to express yourself.” Hero image credits Giovanni Giannoni / Getty
