MODEL AND STYLIST

At 60, I started desiring my natural grey hair. It was grey-haired model Yazemeenah Rossi who inspired me to go grey. From the age of 39, I started to go grey in the front. It happened overnight because of a trauma in my personal life. I gradually started blonde highlights just in the front, but as I got older, every couple of weeks I’d look in the mirror and see the white line across my hairline. I liked highlighting my hair, but I didn’t like feeling that I had to. I couldn’t believe the confidence it gave me once I took the journey. It felt very authentic. Grey hair no longer means old. When I finally embraced it, it felt like being free. It’s an inner confidence it’s given me, without me realising it through the months. This is absolutely me and who I am, inside and out. I feel more confident now than I ever was, without a doubt.
