For my Miss Havisham character I obviously want her hair to be grey and dusty, as she rarely/never washes it and the environment she lives in is dirty and dusty causing her hair to get dusty. I wanted to look into why and how hair actually starts to go grey from age and then be able to chose the most suitable way to recreate this.
Whilst looking at my research I found that whilst we age our hair folicles die and then that certain strand of hair looses it colour - so rather than hair greying at the roots, each strand of hair will slowly start to go grey. To create this as realistically as possible I would have to apply supra colour using a masacra wand, shown below:

In regards to dirtying up the hair, I could either go for the greasy approach or dusty. Depending on how either look (which is what I am going to test) I would have to use dry shampoo or talcum powder both of which I am going to try. As for the greasiness I will most likely use water depending how it turns out on camera and whether aesthetically it looks good.
