On November 27th of this year (2019) I will turn 37 years old. This is exactly 20 years from the age of which I found my first silver hair.

Not too long after finding that first gray hair, however, I started dyeing my hair.

When my roots came in, it never really occurred to me to simply do a root touch-up. Instead, I put the same color over all of my hair which resulted in an even darker shade. In turn, this made my roots stand out even more.

Many, many home dyes and a few color strips later I have come to the conclusion that embracing my natural silver hair is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

The first color I added was pink. This temporary color (One and Only Argan Oil Perfect Intensity) was supposed to only last 6-8 shampoos. (For me, it lasted much longer).

Now, I happily embrace my whites, silvers, and greys and look forward to seeing them spread. I use Matrix Total Results So Silver at least once a week to keep my silvers shiny and bright.

Over time, I began to find kindred spirits in all these incredible people. We’re all here to support one another while our journey and self-revelations come to fruition. I’ll be forever grateful for all the support I’ve received.

The single most important person through all of this, I must say, is my mom. I can literally say “I got it from my mama” regarding my hair and if I’m lucky I’ll grow up to be just like her (in more than one way)!
