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.
That’s why I decided to go gray – because I wasn’t going to risk my life and have my throat close up just so that I could be vain and have dark hair (even though that was initially my preference).
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.
