Yenye into ukuthi unguye fan Ukwaluphala ngobabalo, yenye into ukubona ukuba ungabonakalisa njani ukwaluphala okuhle. Ngokukodwa xa uqalile ukuba ngwevu ngomhla wakho wokuzalwa weminyaka engamashumi amathathu, kwaye uchithe ishumi leminyaka elungileyo-kunye nokuzama ukufihla le nyani kwihlabathi.

Ndinotata wam ukuba ambulele ngeenwele ezimnyama azidlulisela kum, kunye nesimo sakhe sofuzo sokuba abe ngwevu kwangoko. Ukujonga iifoto zentsapho ukususela ebuntwaneni bam, ndiyabona ukuba wayeqala ukukhanya ngelixa ebetha i-30. Ndandisenentloko epheleleyo yeenwele ezimnyama ngaloo minyaka - kodwa ngenxa yokuba ndichithe ixesha elibi kakhulu kwindawo yokuhlambela. isipili sikhuphe imisonto engalunganga yesilivere. Ndandineminyaka engama-32 xa iingwevu zaba ninzi kakhulu ukuba ndingahambelani ne-tweezer kwaye ndaqala ukutyelela i-salon yonyango olulodwa. Ukuqeshwa kwam kuye kwanda rhoqo, kwaye ngasekupheleni kwamashumi amathathu eminyaka, ndazixelela ukuba bendikwishedyuli ehloniphekileyo yeeveki ezisibhozo- kodwa kwakuphela kuxa ndandingenalo udliwanondlebe lomsebenzi okanye umtshato womhlobo okanye nantoni na eyayibonisa ukungxama ukubuyela esitulweni.

Olunye ulwamkelo lwam olungxamisekileyo lwenzeka ngomhla apho isitayile sam esiqhelekileyo sasingasebenzi, ndaye ndaphela kwisitulo somfazi ogama linguChristine Camille Sanchez-Ressy. Phambi kokuba aye ngasemva esaluni ukuze axube umxube wam oqhelekileyo, wahlola iingcambu zam waza wandibuza ukuba ndikhe ndacinga ngokuzisa isilivere kwinkangeleko yam.

"Umalunga neepesenti ezingamashumi amahlanu engwevu," wandazisa, ndothuka kakhulu, "kwaye ndicinga ukuba ndibona ithoni entle phantsi phaya." Ndamxelela ukuba mandikhe ndiyicingisise le nto, ndaphepha kulo nyaka uzayo eSalon ndisoyika ukugilana nala mfazi wayeyazi inyani eyoyikekayo. Andikulungelanga ukujongana nezibakala ngokwam, ndiqhathe isalon yam endiyithandayo ngokundwendwela ixesha lesidlo sasemini kwenye indlela (eyothusayo) eyayingaphaya kwesitrato kwiofisi yam yangaphambili.

Ngalo lonke elixesha, nangona kunjalo, amazwi kaSanchez-Ressy anamathela kum. Wayenyanisile. Kwakungekho mbuzo malunga nayo: Kwakufuneka ndenze into eyahlukileyo. Enkosi ngumahluko omkhulu phakathi kweenwele zam ezimnyama kunye nomgca wengcambu okhathazayo, bendiqala ukubonakala ngathi ndiligqwirha. Ebusuku ebhedini, bendiya kuzifumana ndikhangela kwi-Instagram, ndikhangela imifanekiso yabasetyhini ababekhaliphile kunam, ndinyikimisa iinwele ezingwevu ezingwevu okanye iinwele ezingwevu ombre. Kungekudala, phantse zonke izithuba zam ezicetyiswayo zazibhalwe #silverfox, #freethesilver, #goinggraygracefully, okanye #grombre. Uninzi lwabantu abangwevu yayingabafazi endingazange ndive ngabo, nto leyo eyenza ingqiqo ethile inikwe indlela ecotha ngayo izithethe zethu zasekuhlaleni ukuziqhelanisa. Amadoda ahamba phambili afana noGeorge Clooney, uBard Pitt, uHugh Grant kwaye banokuvumela ukuba izitshixo zabo ezingwevu zibonise kwaye zibonise kuphela njengoko zihluke kakhulu, kodwa kukho umgca ongachazwanga ukuba abafazi beminyaka ethile akufanele bawele. Ndicinga ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba uRashida Jones, u-Angelina Jolie, uNahomi Campbell, kunye neqela labo lonke banemizila yomlingo egcina iinwele zabo zikhangeleka zingumntwana wesikolo-zintsha kwiminyaka yabo yokuzala. Kodwa kunokwenzeka ukuba, bava amazwi afanayo awayesoloko endixelela ukuba ndigqume izimvi zam. Kancinci kancinci, nangona kunjalo, eminye imiphefumlo enesibindi yamkela iingcambu zayo zendalo kwaye iguqukela kwizinwele ezingwevu ngenjongo - umkhwa oye wafumana ukuthamba, ngenxa yobhubhane.

“I-COVID yenze kwanzima ukufika esalon, kwaye ngenxa yoko sabona abantu abadumileyo abanjengoGwyneth Paltrow kunye noJennifer Aniston beshukumisa iinwele zabo ezingwevu ngasekupheleni kuka-2020, bevula indlela yokuba abathengi bethu bazive bezithembile bewola iingwevu zabo,” utshilo uKate Reid. , Uyilo kunye nomlawuli wezemfundo wenkampani yokunyamekela iinwele uKevin Murphy.

Oku kundikhumbuze ezinye zeempawu zesilivere ezinekratshi, kubandakanya uJane Fonda, uAndie MacDowell, kunye noSharon Osborne, bonke benento enye ngokufanayo: Umlobi weenwele uJack Martin, osalali yakhe yaseTustin, eCalifornia yiMecca yabafazi abakulungeleyo yenza utshintsho, inkcitho kunye nexesha ligwetyelwe (isithende kwisitulo sakhe sithatha ukuthatha usuku lonke). Iakhawunti yakhe ye-Instagram yintabalala yamabhinqa awathi wangenisa kuwo ngokungwevu ngokungxama ukuya kwigalactic entle, isithixokazi saseNorse ngakumbi kunentlekele eseleyo endandiziva ndiyiyo. Njengokuba uMartin wabelana ngezindululo zezithuba zakhe zentlalo, ubuchule bakhe bokujonga iinwele ezingwevu ombre kubandakanya ukukhulula idayi endala, kunye nokupeyinta kwakhona yonke intloko yeenwele ngeblitshi-ayipeyintayo kwimigca yombala kunye ne toner, ukuze ukunika isiphumo sokuchasana okuphezulu kwesilivere - zonke ziyilelwe ukuhambelana nepateni yengcambu yendalo yomthengi. Ulahla umgca we-telltale othe tye apho umsebenzi wokugqibela wombala kunye nokukhula kwendalo kuhlala ngokuchasene. Ngumdlalo weqela lobugcisa bobuchwephesha obunokuthi, ithiyori, inokukunceda uhlale kude nesalon okoko ungathanda. (Eyeleleneyo: Uzicheba Njani Iinwele Zakho Ekhaya Xa Ingqesho Ingekho Emakhadini)

Kodwa ungaze ubeke unyawo ngaphakathi kwesalon kwakhona yayingeyiyo injongo yam. Ndiyamthanda kwaye ndiyamkhumbula uSara June, ibhokisi ye-jewel yaseBrooklyn endandihlala ndihlala kuyo kwaye apho ndinokuthembela ukubaleka kubabhali kunye nomama basekhaya. (Kwaye: bakhonza iwayini.) Ndifuna nje ukuyiphathela ngokwam, imigaqo ekhululwe kancinci. Ke iinyanga ezilishumi elinanye kubhubhani, emva kovavanyo olwahlukeneyo olungaphumeleliyo ekwamkeleni iDNA yam - ekuqaleni andenzanga nto, yayingumboniso owoyikisayo (ngenyani wayenjalo isiqingatha esingwevu, e Ubuncinci); emva koko ndazama ukutshintshela emthunzini omdaka okhanyayo onokuthi ulungele iingcambu zam ngokuxolela, kodwa ubungqongqo babo bandenza ndakhangeleka ngathi nguGarfield ikati-ndaya kufikelela kuSanchez-Ressy, umlobi owayezama ukundinceda kanye ngexesha elithile. Ndimxelele ukuba ndifuna uncedo lwakhe kakhulu kunakuqala. Bendigula kukucebisa ifowuni kunevidiyo. Bendiphezu kokubeka ubuso bam i-intshi ezintathu kude nekhompyuter kuyo yonke iminxeba yeZoom ukuze ndikhuphe yonke into emantla amashiya am.

Andiqinisekanga ukuba uSanchez-Ressy uya kundikhumbula emva kwalo lonke eli xesha. Kodwa ayengazi nje kuphela ukuba ndingubani, kodwa yayingathi ebelindele umyalezo wam. Undicele ukuba ndimthumelele iiselfie ukuze afike kwisisombululo. Sathumela i-imeyile emva naphambili kangangeveki. Ndimxelele ukuba andazi ukuba ndingayichaza njani kanye into endiyibonileyo - iinwele ezingwevu ze-ombre, iimbalasane zeenwele ezingwevu, idayi engwevu? Bendingafuni nje ukuhlala ndixakwe zingcambu zam. “Ndifuna ukuqaqamba kwaye ndibe mhle,” ndamxelela. Kuye kuye ukufumana ukuba njani. Khange ndiwmonele lo msebenzi.

Xa usuku oluhle lwafika ndaza ndafika, uSanchez-Ressy wavula umnyango, ekhwaza ngamandla. Undixelele ukuba uvukile ukusukela nge-4: 30 kusasa ephanda imifanekiso yam emdala kwi-intanethi kwaye eceba ukutshintsha kwam. "Oku kumnandi kum!" watsho kwaye wandinika into awayecinga ngayo: Endaweni yokuseta kwakhona kukaJack Martin, okuya kubandakanya iiyure ngeeyure zokukhulula kunye nokwenza iblitshi, kwaye kukhokelele kumdaka omnyama nomhlophe, wayefuna into ethambileyo kwaye ixutywe ngakumbi. Upeyinta amanqaku ambalwa ukusuka kwisithsaba ukuya kwincam, elandela iipateni zegrey zam, "ngoko ayithe tyaba kancinci kunethe nkqo, kwaye ibonakala ibambene," undixelele. "Kwaye emva koko siyakusebenza kwizibane ezisezantsi ukuze sinciphise iithoni zommeli-lizwe." Bendisithanda isandi salento.

Njengokuba eqala ukusebenza, saxoxa ngezinye iindlela zokuba umntu aqhubeke kwibala lam leenwele aqhubeke. Uye wathi i-semi-permanent color rinse iyakuthoba iigreyi ngaphandle kokuzifihla ngokupheleleyo, kwaye ukuba ndiziva ndinesibindi ndingahla ndiye kwiglosi emfusa, enokuthi ithobe kwaye ikhuphe nethoni yeengwevu. “Uninzi lwabantu lucinga ukuba iingwevu zijiyile kuba zirhabaxa, kodwa enyanisweni, zibhityile kwaye zibuthathaka,” utshilo. "Isizathu sokuba baziphathe ngendlela abenza ngayo kukuba abanazo izambatho zokukhusela i-melanin." I-Melanin, i-polymmer entsonkothileyo emisela umbala wolusu lwethu, ikwalasemva kombala weenwele zendalo. Izinwele ezimnyama zinemelanin engakumbi, kwaye kuphela ziinwele ezimhlophe ngokupheleleyo ezingenazo. Umzimba uvelisa ngaphantsi nangaphantsi kwexesha, kwaye ukungabikho kwayo kukholelwa ukuba kukhokelela ekuqhekekeni kweenwele kunye nokungabikho kokukhanya, okuchaza ukuba kutheni iinwele ezingwevu zinokubonakala zincinci.

Ukusebenza ngeefoyile, iSanchez-Ressy yahlula iinwele zam zibe ngamacandelo amancinci, kulandela umbala wendalo, kunye nokutshintsha phakathi kwedayi emdaka emnyama kunye neblitshi exutywe nebanga le-salon i-Olaplex, isibophelelo sokudibanisa esinciphisa umonakalo. Wayebaleka ifomula emnyama ngamacandelo anemibala ngaphambili kumazantsi ezibini kwisithathu seenwele zam, ukuze akhuphe ne-orenji eyayifumene okoko ndafaka umbala wokugqibela. “Le yinxalenye yesayensi, inxalenye yobugcisa, kwaye inxalenye yeminwe yawela,” watsho, endishiya ukuba ndihlale ndivumele iikhemikhali zenze imilingo yazo. Ndandingaphezu kovalo oluncinci.

Emva kwemijikelezo eliqela yethoni kunye nokuhlanjwa, yayilixesha lokuba undomise ukuze ndityhile okukhulu. Ubuhle babubonakala kakuhle phambi kokuba abeke phantsi isixhobo somshini wokucoca. Akusekho Garfield orenji. Okumangalisa ngakumbi kukuba, iisilivere ezazidla ngokungcolisa isithsaba sentloko yam ngoku zazisongelwa njengamabhanti e-ultra-fine e-Christmas tinsel. Amagqabantshintshi aphantse afundwa njengewintry blonde, kwaye isiphumo seallover sasisityebi kwaye sizimisele. USanchez-Ressy wema engathethi. "Ujongeka nje… mhle."

Ndithumele umyalezo ngefowuni (kulungile, a abambalwa ii-selfie) kwisangqa sam sangaphakathi ngaphambi kokuba ndigoduke (kwaye ndihlala kuphela kwiibhloko ezintathu). "Ngaba ndikhangeleka ngathi ndingumnikazi wegalari yezobugcisa okanye yintoni?" Ndibuze iitshomi zam. "Kuhle," abaninzi babo baqinisekisile. "Ujongeka njengomntu endiya kuye ndiyokufumana iingcebiso ngamakhondo omsebenzi," enye yeqela elibi labuyela umva. Xa ndingena emnyango wendlu yam, umyeni wam wayebonakala edidekile. "Bendicinga ukuba izakubanzima, kodwa ujongeka nje ngathi uvela esalon." Kwakudingeka asondele ukuze abone ukuba kukho umgca omtsha wesilivere.

Ndiyithande kuphela into endiyibonileyo ngakumbi nangakumbi kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo. Ndikwathandile ukucinga ngendlela yam entsha yasesalon: Ngoku ukuba iingcambu azizukuba yinkathazo — okanye into — Mna noSanchez-Ressy sicwangcise ukudibana ukuze sidibane ngekota. Logama nje bendilungile malunga nemeko enzulu, bendinokubuya rhoqo emva kweenyanga ezintathu okanye ngaphezulu ukuze ndichukumise. Singahlengahlengisa umlinganiso okhanyayo ukuya ebumnyameni njengoko siqhubeka. (Idibeneyo: Uhlaziya njani umbala weenwele eziPhelileyo eKhaya)

Kwiveki ukujongeka kwam okutsha, xa umfazi-ishishini lobuhle mogul, hayi ngaphantsi-efikelela ekubuzeni ukuba ingaba ndingayifumana na umnxeba wokuxoxa ngeprojekthi enokubakho, ndothuka ndaza ndacebisa ukuba siyenze ngoSondeza.
