This is just a love letter to my colorist @ameliahairmakeup .
Since I was super little, I always wanted to be the kind of woman who had a gray streak. They seemed dangerous. Villains and naughty chicks had big wild hair with strips of white⚡️ ….evidence of hard livin and poor choices!
So when I started growing this mess out, it was no surprise that my natural hair had catalogued all my vices and misdeeds and was growing out as snowy white as the manes of my heroes.
I found Amelia because I’d seen a gray color job she’d posted on her Instagram page. Last Spring I met her for the first time, and over the course of several visits, she has meticulously gone through every hair on my head, placing light bits where they should go, and dark where it still insists on growing. She’s a perfectionist and a really talented artist. And a daggum riot!
I’ve been damn near every color - blonde, brunette, red, and every variation inbetween.
This is the first time I really feel like myself. No roots to cover. No feeling phony when I pass a mirror. Boys get all the adulation when it comes to being a “silver fox”. And women are expected to stay 22 forever.
**** it.
Thanks for the paint job @ameliahairmakeup . Here’s to breaking the rules. Xoxox
