When I was a teenager, my friends colored their hair wild, neon colors. That was one of the main reasons I longed to attend a public school. I wanted to be free to express myself in loud, colorful ways.
In my early 30s, I noticed that hair dye was becoming less effective as far as full coverage and accurate color brilliance. My stylists informed me that my stubborn grey hair was the issue.
I documented the entire process on YouTube. In the beginning, it was just me, talking to a camera. A little over two years later, I’ve got an entire following of silver sisters who have inspired me to continue sharing my journey in order to motivate others to embrace their lovely silver lock
The first women I discovered during my quest for women who went grey at a young age were Sara Sophia Eisenman and Nikol Johnson. They blew me away, since grey hair didn’t age them. They proved to me that grey hair can be beautiful regardless of age.
These days, the products I’m using are:
Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Leave-In Conditioner
Cantu Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream
I top it all off with ECO Style Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil Gel.
Every time someone reaches out to me for an interview, my first internal reaction is always, “Wow. Grey hair is a big deal.”
I’m still in disbelief, but I am so grateful to Katie and all of the other ladies who are encouraging all of us to share our stories and our journeys with the world.
