Ex glamour model Melinda Messenger won great compliments from Loose Women viewers after she appeared on the show with her natural hair. The 52-year-old told the show she had decided to embrace her greying locks - and watchers said that she still looks fabulous.
On the ITV show today she explained why she’d decided to ditch the dye: “Why not? Why not? I might dye my hair pink, blue, green. It doesn’t matter, does it? It’s just hair.” Presenter Kaye Adams said: “Melinda says she is happier than ever after giving herself permission to be free and says others should do the same.”
“I feel kind of embarrassed that we make such a fuss about someone’s hair colour but it is a thing in this world, isn’t it?” Melinda replied: “I can’t get my head around it quite frankly. I think it doesn’t even look that much different, probably because it’s all still so blonde and white and blends in, but also why the big deal? That’s the thing that surprised me the most.”
She said some people had been horrible: “A few people were like ‘it looks disgusting, you look so old, why would you do that?’ and I thought, ‘I am getting older but what’s wrong with that?’ I’m not 27, I dont want to be 27, I love being my age.”
Viewers were impressed. Sammirobinson said: “Melinda Messenger looks fabulous with her natural grey hair, still stunning. More women need to embrace the grey.”
Kevws said: “Melinda Messenger is one of the nicest people in the media and she still looks absolutely incredible #LooseWomen.”
