Gray hair absolutely runs in my family at a young age. Both my parents went gray in their early twenties.

I knew the gray was coming. I started dyeing my hair with permanent dye at about the age of 28 and dyed it every four weeks from then.

I did have highlights, I guess, in college and I’ve played around with that, but it was really just red highlights.

I happened upon a video by Suzan Barnes on YouTube, and she didn’t call the technique a name, so I’ve named it myself: the Dye Strip Technique.

It ended up actually looking like peekaboo highlights, to be honest with you. The Dye Strip Method gave my hair so much dimension.

WHAT SHADE OF EYEBROW LOOKS BEST ON YOU?

I have changed hairdressers since then, but it was just because my whole family started going to a really incredible gentleman named Josh at Mint Salon, and he is phenomenal. I love what he does with my hair, and I’m very happy with him.
