My family and friends never, ever said a thing about my having grey hair. Never said, “it looks awful”, “it looks good”, “you should colour it over”, “why don’t you leave it?”
I’m pretty sure I made my first professional colour appointment a couple of weeks later. Oh, and I won a good prize because he had to guess within three years of my age!
I decided to stop dyeing, not because of any earth-shattering event, but simply because I was tired of trekking to my appointments and paying over $100 every time.
You could call it going cold turkey when I stopped. But my artificial colour is blonde and it’s actually transitioning quite nicely, not too stark and I get lots of compliments on how pretty the tones are.
All my silver hair inspiration comes from YouTube (Monique Parent, Elisa in Montreal, Erica Johnston) and all the amazing Instagram women and men I follow who are also doing the grey transition.
