Jennifer's SILVR Story

Oakville, CanadaShared August 15, 2026

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 make me feel old. With five kids, I don’t have time to feel old. They keep me young, moving, laughing and very much alive. What I love most is watching younger women completely embrace silver hair. They’re not hiding it, they’re deliberately dyeing their hair grey because it’s fashionable, beautiful and unapologetically cool. I admire that confidence.

    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…

    For years, coloring my hair was just part of the routine, the appointments, the upkeep, the damage, and the endless cycle of chasing roots. After years of maintenance, I was tired. Then turning 50 shifted something in me. I found myself asking, for what? For whom? My husband, Mike, encouraged me to let my hair go…
