Former Isibaya actress Ayanda Borotho expressed some interest in dyeing her hair to temporarily get rid of the grey strands.

Famous for her role as Phumelele Zungu in the popular Mzansi Magic telenovela, the 45-year-old actress and author shared photos showcasing her makeup and neatly done ponytail, with visible grey strands near the front edges of her hair.

"Let's talk about the grey hairs; to dye or not to dye? Sizani bo."

The mother of three, who previously emphasised the importance of self-care, rarely shares photos of her natural hair, often wearing wigs and protective hairstyles.
