My greys are slowly showing. I’m slowly getting to the point where I don’t give a shit about...

Don’t think of them as grey, their wisdom streaks. Things do change and it takes an adjustment but I have begun to think if they don’t like me it’s because they don’t like themselves.

During the pandemic, I made the monumental decision to stop dyeing my hair, which I’d been doing since I first started seeing the grey, in my early 30s. I’d already stopped straightening it, so this was the last chemical treatment to stop.

It felt weird at first, but it grew out silver-white like Pop’s hair, rather than steel grey the way my mother’s was. I get compliments from strangers and friends, family who haven’t seen me in awhile are surprised.
