When I first started to have a sprinkle of gray here and there, it was right after my son was born; I was 19. Then, when I had my daughter at 22, all of a sudden I found more gray hairs.
I went the long route. I cut off ends as my hair grew. By the time 60% had grown out, the ombre look was in. Older and younger gals thought I had it done.
On the other hand, my kids, a pesky brother-in-law, and a jerky boss gave me unsolicited advice, jokes, or comments, such as “Why are you letting yourself go, you’ll look old!”
I joined some of the Facebook groups, then I graduated to Instagram, where I found even more support! I’ve gotten such positive feedback from my silver sisters on these groups.
