‘I was bullied at school for going grey at 16

Shannyn Pierce faced cruel jibes at school over her greying hair, so turned to spending a fortune on dyeing her locks – now she is confident with her natural look and hasn’t looked back

A mum who had to endure cruel slurs and jibes at school when she started to go grey at just 16, is now having the last laugh. Shannyn Pierce has embraced her silver locks and is saving over £1,000 a year on visits to the salon for hair dyes.

As a teenager, Shannyn, 34, was shocked to discover grey hairs coming through. It was the last thing the 16-year-old wanted to see, and it led to bullying and nasty name-calling from her unkind classmates, who said she was looking ‘old’.

In order to fit in and deter any other insults, she started visiting a salon every six weeks to have her hair dyed black. It was a hefty investment for it cost Shannyn £130 each visit.

But it was money well spent for the teen because she no longer stood out as different or ‘old’ looking. However, as she approached her 30th birthday, something changed and she decided she was finally ready to go natural and accept her silver mane once and for all.
