Grey Reducer or Hair Lightener?
I'm Male, and just turned 50. My blonde hair is starting to go grey in patches. I may just let it go naturally grey, but what are the alternatives?

Orthodontics via NHS referral or private
I have wanted for some years to get my teeth straightened but only now can afford to do so. My dentist is keen for me to try Invisalign, which she is qualified to do.
