“I decided to stop coloring my hair because I am a visual artist and it always bothered me the way dye color didn’t work harmoniously with my eyebrows and skin… I had the feeling I would be more pleased with nature’s palette. I am more satisfied with the appearance, but it also surprised me to be rewarded with the learning process of growing out the gray…patience, self acceptance… questioning why I would ever feel that I should be ashamed of my natural self or my aging. It was a struggle at times for my vanity, but we’ll worth it. I stopped coloring my hair just over 2 years ago; I’m not a big social media person, but thought I’d throw my hat in the ring to be part of Grombre because these pictures of strong, confident women with beautiful natural hair served as a great inspiration to me during a grow out phase that was very challenging for me. I appreciate the people who put themselves out there to show people it’s ok to let your hair be gray!”

“I have been growing it for 4 months and am really starting to enjoy it now. I started to go grey at about 16 and have been dying it for over 2 decades. I’m not sure what it was exactly that urged me to let the grey grow in but earlier this year I just went for it. I had a bit of a wobble last month but stuck with it and am glad I did. This shot is the very first headshot of me with the new natural colour . I am an actress and I’m curious to see if my casting opportunities will change as a result of the new hair colour.”
