I’d let my silvers shine, dye it again on a whim, then grow the silvers out again then, you guessed it, dyed again. My journey actually started back in 2009 and has been a yo-yo like an experience since then. Honestly, I think my biggest fear was that people would gawk at me and pass judgment. What was your biggest fear before setting on a silver journey? Instead of shying away from compliments, I smile and say, “thank you!” It is absolutely worth it. I cannot express how amazing my hair is now. Tired of hours at the salon, big $$, and my hair was dry and frizzy. I was asked numerous times if I was the grandma rather than the mother. Living in a military community, most of the moms were at least 10 years younger than me.ĭuring the transition, I used hair color sprays and hats. When I decided to let my silvers shine, my biggest worry was looking like my daughter’s grandmother. Today I only have positive feedback and I am proud of my hair! What was your biggest fear before setting on a silver journey? It's hard to resist social pressure but not coloring your hair anymore is real liberation, saving time and money.Īs a result, I gained more self-confidence and it allowed me to assert myself with my natural hair.
What advice would you give to women who are on the fence about ditching the dye?įor women who are doubting whether to ditch dye, I advise them to listen to themselves and not to take into account the negative opinions of others. My well-being and my health were a priority. However, I was not afraid that it would make me look old. My biggest fear was enduring the transition period and how others would look at me. I couldn't bear the itching anymore! So I stopped to dye my hair on February 1, 2018, after discovering several silver sisters that had taken the plunge. In 2017, I started having more and more allergies to hair coloring products. Here you will find 11 amazing women share their stories and inspiration with us. It is OK to feel insecure when you set on a new journey. The truth is, most of us asked ourselves these questions. They all look awesome! Their grey hair is amazing, but what about me? Can I pull it off? What if it makes me look older? What if I will look as if I let myself go? What if I look less attractive? What if everybody takes me for my son’s grandmother? And I was amazed to find the sisterhood of amazing women who support and cheer up each other.Īnd yet, even after finding thousands of brave women embracing their grey, I was still hesitant. Will be the Blue and Gray.When I started my silver journey, I searched Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration. We'll win the fray, and the victor of the day
