A woman who started going grey at 19 has finally ditched the dye after 20 years - embracing her natural locks and defying haters who said she was 'letting herself go'. Crystal Michelle, 39, first noticed grey hairs when she was just 19 years old.
By the age of 22, she had a defined grey line and made sure she covered it up with dye, eye shadow and even brown mascara. Crystal spent her 20s and early 30s masking her greys - with a fear of the shame and stigma she was 'getting old' or 'letting herself go' or even looking like a 'grandma'.
In 2020, Crystal was getting ready with her husband, Allen, 46, when he complained how grey his hair was. Crystal objected - saying she was more grey than him - and they decided to have a competition to see how grey they could go within four months.
