I started, maybe three years ago, really thinking about all the money and time that I was spending on dyeing my hair. It was my husband, Garrett, who encouraged me not to be pouring all those toxins on my head.
I thought that I could go gray in a day, no matter how much I read on blogs and videos where they said that dark brunette hair was the hardest shade to go gray.
After that, I thought, “Okay, no more anything. I’m going to just go cold turkey,” but I had this orange-y color where the brown was, so I worked with my colorist about three or four times.
Some of my best friends, not so much. Some friends my age and older were horrified and just knew I would cave in and dye it! But my younger friends were HUGE supporters.
Anyway, once I made the decision, I was so inspired by all the beautiful silver-haired models that I just thought, “That’s my color. I’m going for it. Silver is in. It’s my time. Let’s do it.”
