Several reasons, my husband had been suggesting it for many years, the timing felt right, and I was becoming more health conscious and wanted to age in a natural way.
My transition journey started on July 1st 2016, and I was complete with my final trim on the 30th of June 18… so 2 years… it could have been sooner, but I liked the length I was gaining.
Giovanni 50/50 Hydrating & Clarifying Shampoo, it’s the one I have stuck with for the past year or so and I love it. I like that it’s natural and how it makes my hair feel.
Pinterest and YouTube were great right at the beginning before I realized there were Facebook groups. They gave me the visuals I needed to step away from the box grey hair had been put in.
The Facebook groups are amazing, there are so many of us, all aiming for the same goal in so many ways, and it’s fun being part of everyone’s journey. You really meet some very special people along the way.
You never know what you have until you’re done, so it’s worth sticking it out until the end. It could be the best decision ever, or if it’s not, then you have a blank canvas to re-colour if you wish.
Have fun with it, don’t take yourself too seriously and a sense of humour will come in handy. Remember: it’s your way and your rules. Everyone has a different method – go with whatever you want.
