Andie MacDowell Swears By Affordable Drugstore Shampoo For Gray Hair

The COVID-19 lockdown was an opportunity for Andie MacDowell’s salt and pepper hair to shine, as the actress could not visit the hairstylist. Andie’s natural locks made headlines, and she has recently shared the secret to her gorgeous gray hair, which is L’Oreal Paris’ Ever Pure Purple Shampoo and Conditioner. “It’s back in my apartment in Canada. It takes the yellow out, it makes it shinier,” she gushed.

Andie told Prevention that aside from having little to no choice, her daughters, Rainey and Margaret, encouraged her to keep her silver fox hair. “I could see it looked good on me. My girls told me, because we saw each other a lot during COVID, they said ‘you need to do this you look badass,’” she recalled. “They never tell me I look badass, so I was like alright I think we should do this.”

Andie urges women to go gray

Andie encouraged women to embrace the changes in their hair as they age via British Vogue in 2021. “I was looking at real women out there who were transitioning to gray, as well as younger women in their 50s who were choosing to go natural,” she said. “You could see the before and afters, and I like the afters. But everybody has their own personal taste!”

She also recommended L’Oreal products for thinning eyebrows which is a common occurrence among the aging. “As you get older your eyebrows thin. And I think— I feel like a face is not complete without a good eyebrow shape. I think that’s where all of your emotions and expressions come from…the movement under your eyebrows,” she advised.

Andie’s favorite beauty brand

Andie has worked with L’Oreal and is currently the brand ambassador for L’Oreal Paris’ Women Of Worth. She expressed her happiness about aging with the brand, which she has watched “grow and embrace all kinds of women.”

Another favorite product of Andie’s is their lash product, specifically the “telescopic mascara,” which doesn’t clump. “I love their mascara…I don’t like it when eyelashes stick together. It’s very individual. It almost looks like you have on fake eyelashes if you do it just right. You’re going to have the longest eyelashes you’d ever imagine,” she added.
