'It was causing me too much stress'

While women generally start to develop white hair at a fairly advanced age, unfortunately this was not the case for Sophie McGrath. Indeed, it was in 2007, at the age of 13, that the young woman discovered her first white hair. After removing it with tweezers, time passed. And little by little, the New Zealander's beautiful dark-brown hair began to change, revealing numerous white hairs.

At the age of 15, Sophie McGrath began to feel self-conscious and decided to dye her hair. A time-consuming and costly process that she repeated for ten years. After trying out a number of colors, the young woman began to tire of the process and decided to make a decision. She told Daily Mail Australia:

Dyeing my hair became something I thought about constantly. I realized that having to cover my silver hair was causing me more stress than my gray hair itself.

So she decided to keep her natural hair.
