When my roots came in, it never really occurred to me to simply do a root touch-up. Instead, I put the same color over all of my hair which resulted in an even darker shade. In turn, this made my roots stand out even more.
By the end of 2015, I finally kicked the dye to the curb for good. Once I had all my dyed hair completely cut out, I felt so fresh and new. I felt like ME.
Eventually, I decided to order a bleaching product and, man oh man did it do the trick. In fact, it turned my lovely silvers an awful yellow: I was horrified.
Now, I happily embrace my whites, silvers, and greys and look forward to seeing them spread. I use Matrix Total Results So Silver at least once a week to keep my silvers shiny and bright.
I cannot recall any negative comments during my transitional time. In fact, most of the people who commented were colleagues who were very happy I was letting my silvers shine through!
It wasn’t until February of this year that I found the wonderful silver sisters on Instagram. This group of folks became a part of my life because I happened upon the Grombre Instagram page. Through that group, I branched out and found so many bold folks who decided to ditch the dye.
I truly hope that all who are starting this journey hold tight and find the cheerleaders they need. I for, one, will be happy to send a kind word of encouragement!
