I first met Tarla in my favorite Facebook Group Silver Revolution, where she mentioned in passing that she used wigs to help her transition to silver hair.

Like many women, I always wanted to dye my hair. Everyone was like, “Oh, don’t go gray. It’s going to make you look old”…and I never had any intention of doing that, so I would never have guessed that I’d be sitting here talking to you about this situation.

I went from dyeing every four weeks to every three weeks, then every two weeks, until I ended up finally having to dye it myself every Saturday doing my roots. Eventually, my body reacted to the toxicity of the dye.

I had reactions to the dye (burning and itching) myself for about two years before I decided to stop dyeing. I often ask myself why I didn’t just STOP right then and there!

So I stopped that, and the next step was that I tried henna. And to go brown (henna is orange) you have to use indigo. And I started itching with the indigo, too!

I went silver cold turkey, and it took about 1 1/2 to 2 years. I’m an online entrepreneur and I have to do Facebook Live videos frequently, and I personally didn’t feel comfortable having that demarcation line.

How long did it take you to go fully silver, and what method did you use?

WHAT SHADE OF EYEBROW LOOKS BEST ON YOU?

I went to a wig shop in Hollywood to look for wigs and I felt really uncomfortable even trying on the wigs. I thought, “Oh my God, this is going to look like a wig. People are going to know I’m wearing a wig.”

I spent $2,000 on my first wig, so it was a huge investment (it’s real hair). There are different levels of wigs. I think Eastern European is supposed to be known as the nicest hair, and those are between $3000-$5000.
