Lily Allen has never been one for putting a filter on things, which is why everyone should follow her on Instagram immediately.

She's been open about many things in the past, from embarrassing first-date stories to battles with her mental health, and now she's become the latest celebrity to get real about her lockdown hair.

We've seen celebrities experiment with bright colours and DIY hair cuts during their time in quarantine. But, rather than reach for the dye, Lily has decided to keep up tradition and tell it (or rather, show it) how it is.

What to read next

She posted a selfie on Instagram showing her usually jet-black hair streaked with greys. She was also make-up free and smiling happily into the camera.

Lily kept her caption short but sweet (a granny emoji and nothing else, "👵🏻").

Well, the singer's picture sparked joy among her friends and fans, with people filling her comments section with compliments.

Fashion stylist Grace Woodward wrote: "This is so cool. You look great and also made me feel better about myself. Win win đź–¤."

Other fans commented, "Snap!" and, "Lovely photo, shows your true beauty."

One follower simply commented: "You make me SMILE."
