The “silver fox” narrative has made greying hair an asset for older men. So is hair dye always a bad idea?

Stoked to have chatted to @GeraetsNell about cosmetic surgery & motherhood 💉The misogyny and stigma embedded in cosmetic surgery discourse is particularly horrific for mothers, who are told they should "rise above vanity" now that they're mums.

More mothers are choosing the procedure to mark the end of their breastfeeding years. Some experts warn the trend fuels unrealistic expectations about body image.
