Cassie’s story
I started going silver in my 20s… and I covered it for years.
My dad had the most beautiful silver/ white hair my entire life, and he always encouraged me to let mine shine too. But I never listened. He passed away in 2008, and for so long I kept coloring my hair, trying to hide what made me uniquely me.
When I turned 50 in 2023, I finally decided I was done coloring my hair for good. The grow out took almost three years, and there were moments of doubt along the way… but now? I can honestly say I’ve never felt more free.
My dad had the most beautiful silver/ white hair my entire life, and he always encouraged me to let mine shine too.
There is something so empowering about embracing yourself exactly as you are.
If I could give any advice to someone thinking about going silver, it would simply be this: just go for it. Enjoy the process. Give yourself grace. And find the Silver Sisters… because they will encourage you every step of the way.
And I know my dad would be so proud of me for finally doing this. He would be my biggest cheerleader, reminding me every single day how beautiful I am.

Grey Doesn’t Scare Me My silver story is really just beginning. I only have a few grey hairs right now, not enough to blend or do much with, so yes, I still dye my hair for the time being. But I’m not afraid of the grey coming in. It doesn’t make me nervous, and it certainly doesn’t…

My mum had silver hair, although she hated it. I remember her colouring it the moment a sparkle showed through at her hairline. I don’t think either of us could have imagined that one day her silver hair would change the course of my life. I noticed my first silver hairs in my mid-twenties. Like…

In 2018, I was watching younger women pay big dollars to get the hair I was paying big dollars to cover! I’d known for a while I was ready to stop coloring, but it was when I asked my daughter if she’d prefer I wait to stop coloring until after her wedding and she was…
