Warding off silver strands has been a measure many women have felt they've had to take to protect themselves from ageism in the workplace.

From models and Instagram stars like the notorious Baddie Winkle to Hollywood's leading ladies like Meryl Streep, embracing the grey has become an increasingly popular choice for women everywhere.
