katie goes platinum
Before I decided to transition, I really worried about how my pale skin would look with gray hair.
I have lost a lot of color in my face as I’ve gotten older, and I pictured myself melting away into nothingness if I had white hair, white skin, white lips…all that would be left would be dark eyebrows floating in mid-air, like an even weirder version of the Cheshire Cat!
I should have known better. Mother Nature is one smart cookie and she knew what she was doing when she blessed people with silver hair. The silvers have brightened up my complexion considerably!
When I wear them, it’s like the life has gone out of my face – all the color is gone. I start fading away, as I had feared. But when I wear bright colors like hot pink or red, I look vibrant!
There is a general consensus that bright, “jewel-like” colors are best with gray hair and that silver sisters should avoid warm (autumn-like) tones.
