At 36 years old, Emily was taken aback by the ‘wild’ guesses regarding her age, ranging from the mid-40s to beyond 60. Comments on her TikTok video speculated about her appearance, attributing her perceived age to factors such as grey hair, skin texture, and fine lines. Despite the diverse range of guesses, the overarching theme pointed towards an assumption of older age based on physical attributes.
Emily revealed that she stopped dyeing her hair during lockdown, embracing her natural grey hair as a symbol of authenticity and self-acceptance. She emphasized the importance of women feeling comfortable in their own skin and rejecting societal pressures to conform to youth-centric beauty standards.
