<Oh sigh> I just can't go gray. Coloring my hair is my one concession to vanity. But I haven't felt well lately and just haven't had the energy, and it will cost $150 to have it done professionally. Serious roots going on now...
My very dark brown hair started greying when I was around 14, I dyed it for years and years, went bleach blonde from aged 27-28, which was kinda lower maintenance in some ways as I didn’t need to touch up my roots as much, but very expensive to maintain. During Covid, aged 29, I shaved it all off and have since grown it out without dying it. I’m fully white/grey now at 35. I still get self conscious sometimes, especially when my husband is the same age as me but looks very young!! I sometimes worry that people will think I’m my son’s gran BUT it is also so so so freeing. It’s so nice not having to stress about my roots coming through, and I think overall it has given me a lot more confidence. And I love it when people ask me whether it’s natural hahah. I get lots of compliments on it!
I’m one of the lucky ones that went gray early (20s) but it’s always been this beautiful bright gray/white combo. It’s thick, and curly, I imagine it’s close to how you describe your mom’s hair. I have a youthfulness in how I move, think, and speak and feel like the gray elevates any message I share.
