“I chopped off more. I think I give it solid to Jamie Lee Curtis. Husband says I give it full to Anne Hegerty…. Correct.

Even more dramatically, in the second picture, Dawn lifted her tresses to reveal her brand new undercut — with the silver coloring to match her approach to hugging gray.
Captioning her two new photos, Dawn wrote: “Lightening bit by bit to happily welcome the grey…with an undercut surprise…! Hello woman in her 60s….’
