Dawn French is embracing her natural grey locks as she patiently waits for her hair to grow out.

The Vicar of Dibley and French and Saunders actress, 64, took to her Instagram on Wednesday to show off her twisted braids and incredible colour with fans.

The star's followers were impressed with her "chic and modern" hairstyle as they flocked to the comments section to compliment her.

Dawn, however, doesn't seem to be a fan of her hair as she captioned the image: "Today I am mostly twisting the heck out of this grey explosion while I wait for it to grow. COME ON!!!"

"Love your hair short and natural shows off your lovely complexion," one person gushed.

Another penned: "Nooo, don't grow it, keep the short do it really suits you !!!"

A third shared: "Ooooo I am liking your styling!!"

"Looking good. Great idea," a fourth added.

"Don't grow it u suit it like that it's very chic and modern," a fifth commented.

Dawn has been sporting short grey hair for a little while, and she looks incredible.

She ditched her iconic brown bob for her natural grey hair - which really suits her.

The actress previously revealed her husband Mark Bignell has compared her to The Chase star Anne Hegerty with her new hairdo.

On Instagram, she wrote: "Hair update. 3 shades of grey (working up to the 50).

"I’ve chopped even more off. I’m thinking I’m giving it solid Jamie Lee Curtis. Husband says I’m giving it full Anne Hegerty…. Righto.

"In your face husband, coz BOTH are Ishtar…"

Dawn told in June last year how she ditched her trademark style to embrace the fact that she's going grey.

In the first picture Dawn shared she showed off her natural colour transformation.

In another snap Dawn pulled up her locks to reveal an undercut underneath with silver colouring that blended into her grey hair.

Dawn wrote alongside the photos: "Going lighter bit by bit to happily welcome the grey… with an undercut surprise..! Hello there woman in her 60s…."

Dawn has previously dubbed her current age the 'Autumn' of her life.

She told Fearne Cotton she had found peace after relocating to Cornwall and doesn't feel she is best suited to her old home London.

Dawn told the podcast host: “I find the clutter of it overwhelming. I think I’m not meant for a city… that isn’t the real me. The real me is quiet.

She then discussed how settled she is now she lives by the coast.

“There is, without a doubt, the beauty here. I can do nothing but connect with that.

"It makes me calm, it makes me happier and it sort of enthuses my mind with better ways of thinking," she confessed on the Happy Place podcast."
