From Brunette to Gray: How Eva Made a Striking Transition
katie goes platinum
I think I was around twenty years old when I noticed my first gray hairs.
I wasn’t really surprised since my father went gray prematurely and had the most beautiful head of white hair.
My friends and family never had an opinion about it when I was younger. Later in life my friends all covered their gray, so it was normal for me to color mine.
I’m ashamed to say I looked at my gray as a personal defect. Society had long told me that I was overweight for my height; my features were offset; I had no ability to tan, and my skin was sensitive to everything.
I started researching pictures online. Watching YouTube videos. My inspirations on YouTube were Deb Arndt, Monique Parent, Elisa in Montreal, Beauty101byLisa, and especially Nikol Johnson Sanchez from Beauty Reinvented.
I used root spray and powder touch-up for work until one day the spray and the powder stained my new white growth. I panicked, thinking I had ruined what I just had the courage to start!
After all the questioning I carried on and found a super supportive group of silver sisters on Facebook and Instagram. On Facebook I joined groups for inspiration like Beauty Reinvented, Silver Revolution, and The Silver Circle.
