My Context, My Brown Hair

I was born and raised in Argentina. I always loved dancing, acting, and striking poses for photos. I was also good at math, and so I developed a successful career in Market Research. My profession took me from Buenos Aires to London, and from working as an executive for top brands to having my own blooming agency. During these 2 decades, I became an expert in brands, image, and in communicating emotions to people.

In my late 40s, still working in my former profession, I moved to London. By that time, I was feeling deeply that I needed a career change. As for my hair, I colored it as needed, even though I didn’t feel like I had the time or natural interest in that. The first silver strands had occurred by that moment, and I felt like I was beginning a new chapter in life. It was in only my power to make it good or bad.

A Need to Lighten My Day to Day

Along with thinking of doing something new, I brought to life something I had in mind since my early 40s: Stop coloring my hair to hide the whites. I was tired of spending fortunes and hours at hairdressers having my hair colored, and, as a newcomer to London, I was struggling with time and money. Hiding my whites meant visiting the salon every 2 weeks, so finally getting rid of the compulsory every-2-weeks hairdresser visit fit perfectly with the possibility of investing that time and money on more rewarding things.
