A woman who started going grey aged NINE has ditched the hair dye and embraced her silver locks - and says her boyfriend is “in awe”.

Zoë Miolla, 25, says she was 10 per cent grey by the time she was 12.

She felt insecure about her unique hair colour and wanted to “blend in” after being teased and called a “grandma”.

The senior designer box dyed her hair for the next six years with the help of her mum, April, 51, but decided to ditch the dye at age 18 after she started art college.

By the age of 21, her grey hair had grown out to shoulder length so she could cut off her remaining dark hair below - so she was 100% grey.

01:10 This stuff is really pigmented, and it smells delicious.
01:14 That is one thing about purple shampoo,
01:16 is you don't want one that smells like gray.
