“[My hairdresser] told me that she wouldn’t let me go gray because I was too young and I needed to wait until I was at least 40.”
So let's dive right into it! Recently we talked to
My hairdresser talked me out of it for two years. She told me that she wouldn't let me go gray because I was too young and I needed to wait until I was at least 40. So I started researching young women with gray hair on the internet because I didn't know any in person. And I found women on Pinterest and on Instagram who looked my age but just had silver hair and they looked beautiful.

So why do you think humans have been waging a war against gray hair for basically three millennia?I think that we as a society are so obsessed with being youthful for forever and for women specifically, we've kind of been conditioned in a way, whether by media or whatever the case might be.
BuzzFeed Daily: What do you think has been the most unexpected thing you've learned throughout this whole process?Honestly, for me — and I think the consensus goes among a lot of the friends that I've made on Instagram — the process of simply stopping the dying of your hair has changed so much more than just my hair.
