when she's "going brassy"And it's actually misleading for the article to state she's 'going grey'
I saw that and as a fellow autistic woman I felt for her.I feel really angry that Sali bullied an autistic woman into apologising for being autistic on the GTL thread.
saying someone’s hair looks brassy blonde on a thread about GREY hair, isn’t super rude. It’s an observation.
Sali has made far, far ruder comments!
the world is hard enough to navigate if you are autistic without being hounded for not realising it was an ego stroking thread.
Hi Sali!I've not looked at Mumsnet for years but couldn't resisit a quick peep, one poster said:
I love her hair. I think the process was explained beautifully and the upkeep issues were acknowledged. And, as someone with the same allergy issue, I was really intrigued to read and watch this. Also, she is not an influencer, she is a journalist with a portfolio going back decades.

This reminds me of a story Joan Rivers used to tell. Rivers was well known for her jokes about Elizabeth Taylor being fat, but she became concerned that it could upset Taylor so she asked mutual friend Roddy McDowall to intervene and ask Taylor if she wanted Rivers to stop. Taylor told her to carry on with the fat jokes as she really didn't give a fuck what anyone said about her.Also I thought Sali always asked herself: what would Madonna do? (Or was it Liz Taylor?) Could you imagine either of those asking a friend to sign up to a niche gossip site to set the record straight on how posh they were or weren't growing up
Brassy is what every blonde is trying to avoid.
It's also a become something of a cultural stereotype, a brassy blonde is a lower class, hard-faced, tarty Bet Lynch type of figure.Is brassy an insult in relation to hair? It's a colour. It's like saying there's red tones in hair that has been dyed
Indeed - her double standards are triple standards, it's like trying to work out the double triple agents in a John Le Carré spy novel.But I thought Sali was all about the leopard print so in that case Bet Lynch should be her style icon
Like other posters, I don't think it's brave either, but different strokes. Welcome to Tattle.I think it's quite brave of her to do it, I'm battling the greys as much as I possibly can and kudos to anyone who can handle the ageing process better than me!
Not sure why we need to know about it in so much detail though...
That’s not just worth an emoji , that’s laugh out loud funnyLovely colour, what foundation are you wearing there? Moobelline?
She only wants to cosplay working class. Not actually be it. And here she isn't in control of the narrative. If she were smart about it she'd own it and start her own brassy trend.But I thought Sali was all about the leopard print so in that case Bet Lynch should be her style icon
