My name is Niamh (age 32). I am a PA for an executive and I live just outside Dublin, Ireland. I am engaged to a lovely man and am getting married in September. He is my biggest supporter and always there to make me laugh and smile through everything.

My shock of white hair remained uncovered until I was 23 years old:

And not a single person had anything negative to say about the abundance of white hair sprouting out of my head!

Looking back I think a lot of people assumed I was dyeing it. People still assume that about my hair… which is funny considering the amount of time and money I spent between 23 and 30 on hair dye.

At 23, I began dyeing my hair for fun. My hair grows super fast and I kept it in a pixie cut so I could cut all the dye out every 4 weeks and start from scratch with a new color. I loved it.

But over the years it became tiring to cover up my natural hair color. Eventually, I ended up dyeing my hair to match my pre-grey hair colour.

I always went to my stylist to dye my hair and she always did a great job but it was expensive and by the time I reached 29, I had to dye my hair every 4 weeks and use touch up sprays every two weeks just to keep on top of it.
