“I’ve had grey hair for quite some time now and it is a natural grey. I started going grey around 19, and people think because I’ve got grey hair, I’m over 50,” she said in her video.
She said even with her grey hair, she was shocked people were guessing she was older
She said in the original video, that the eyebags she had were a result of sleepless nights because of having a newborn baby. She also said she wore no makeup or filters which might have given people pause, but in her opinion she looked totally normal.
“I’ve never had any work done. This is my face, and this is what I look like, and I think this is what most people my age would look like without a filter,” she shared.
She theorized in her video that peoples’ guesses for her age had less to do with her and more to do with how social media has conditioned people to view women.
She said that these days most people do not know what a woman looks like naturally since social media promotes cosmetic interventions and the use of filters to alter appearances.
“I think it is essential to remember that what you see on social media and what you see on television or what you’ve seen in magazines, and people have said this for years, it is not real. What’s your take?” she asked.
“Do you think we have a warped perception of age based on what we’ve been exposed to on social media?” she asked her viewers.
Some people however did not agree with her and said it was just her grey hair that was aging her.
“36 going on 60. It probably is the hair that ages you but you are still very gorgeous,” one person wrote
I think you look your age. I think it’s people’s perception that we only get white hair when we age. They can’t get past it,” another added in argument.
“It is just the hair that ages you. Your skin looks great,” someone shared.
While another person added, “I think people get confused by a younger person feeling comfortable growing their gray hair out.”
