Tara's SILVR Story

Cape Coral, USAShared May 26, 2026

My name is Tara, a 47 year old mom originally from New Hampshire and transplanted to Florida 10 years ago. Growing up throughout all of my childhood, teen and college years my hair was one of my biggest insecurities. I hated my natural curls and being the only one in the family who had them, nobody knew how to help me manage and style them. I was picked on so often that I felt like I had to hide the curls and got into a place where I was straightening my hair everyday. As I got older I realized I couldn’t handle the upkeep along with trying to dye my roots every 3-4 weeks to hide the gray that began coming in during my early 20’s. Both of my grandmother’s had white and salt & pepper hair when I was growing up and I remember thinking about how beautiful it was. One day I called my grandmother and asked her opinion on embracing the gray, she said ” well you won’t know unless you try, you can always dye it again if you hate it” and so there it began, no more hair dye, I quit cold turkey!
