O svůj příběh se na Instagramu podělila i tato žena, kterou ve 37 letech přestalo bavit se barvit. Na své vlasy dokonce slýchává komplimenty.
“It wasn’t a well-thought out decision. I was just sick of dying my hair. So I stopped. I admit I did give it a few moments thought each month, but then by not really addressing it, it just happened. My hair was grey. tbh, only streaked with grey. But I was surprised at how much attention it got. Cashiers at Walgreens, who normally just blur through, ‘Are you a rewards member?’, were closing out interactions with an unexpected, ‘I really like your hair.’ Everywhere I went people were telling me how amazing my hair was. I was proud. I felt empowered. I felt I could be one small piece in updating beauty standards for women. And then I was grabbing a coffee with my friend who casually mentioned, ‘I like your hair.’ ‘A few women have told me I’m brave,’ I loftily replied. (They have.) ‘What?! That’s crazy. You’re not brave.’
My face fell.
‘It’s true. You work in the arts. You’re 37. And you have a serious boyfriend. In what way are you brave?’
After being initially crestfallen, I realized she was right. I can only rock my silver hair because I live in a rare bubble that allows me to.
Could you imagine a woman running for president with grey hair? I want to say yes, but currently I believe the answer is no. But I think by women embracing their grey, we can start to change the conversation. I’m hopeful that women in the near future will be able to wear their hair grey, pink, brown, or whatever they choose!” @brklynflora #grombre #gogrombre #grombabe
