katie goes platinum
If I remember well, I was 16 when I discovered my first gray hair. There it stood, the one and only, a bit frizzy, right in the middle of my bangs… I was a bit upset because my grandfather turned completely white at 30 and so did my mum. I had a cousin who was salt and pepper at 20… so I cut it off… regularly.
I started dyeing at 16 with shampoos I could do at home. It was light and fashionable in the 1980s!
I drastically cut my hair in a GI-Jane style in Fall 2013 to let the gray out. I thought my husband would divorce me! My sons were upset: “You are too young to be gray”. I was upset as well – maybe not by the gray but by the haircut.
My hair grows fast and every two weeks, a male friend of mine kept saying “Time to do your roots!”… I suppose I must have been fed up with that too!
