Candace's SILVR Story

Toronto, CanadaShared August 21, 2026

I teased myself with my family saying that I should stop dying my hair. I spoke about posting it and we all laughed knowing I was too private and not willing to show my roots. After about a year of this I finally randomly before Christmas 2024 without telling anyone created an Instagram name and posted publicly. My family was just as shocked with me as I was, but so proud. I felt like it was easier going through the beginning stage in the winter time. I thought everyone was staring at me, but my confidence grew so much. The best thing about my experience has honestly been the friends I have made. The name of our Community Silver Sisters has been something I talk about a lot. I love the support and inspiration we all give each other. I have finally reached the grombre stage where its more of a blended look. It has been the healthiest hair I have ever had and the best natural highlights to compliment me. I am current 21 months now, close to completing my journey. Best decision ever!

I was exhausted by the constant hyper-fixation of wondering whether my gray roots were showing, planning my next time I would…

    I used to dye my roots every 2 weeks, religiously. Yet secretly, I admired women with their beautiful gray hair. I looked at pictures online wishing/hoping that I had the “courage” to do it too. One day, after dyeing my hair, I said- this is the last time I’ll do it and that was it.…

    I have hated aging for the longest time. Now that I am 58 I choose to embrace it! I see lots of silver goddesses out there and they look amazing! That’s why I decided to embrace my gray. You can look put together, beautiful and distinguished with silver hair.
