A bride named Kadeja Baker made headlines when she decided to embrace her natural gray hair on her wedding day. Her story went viral after her makeup artist, Tia Codrington, shared a TikTok video of her radiant look.
Kadeja, who has had gray hair since she was 16, wanted to challenge the idea that brides must dye their hair for their weddings.
Tia Codrington, the makeup specialist, posted the video without expecting much, simply wanting to showcase Kadeja’s beauty.
But the video quickly gained attention, reaching 1.4 million views and over 170,000 likes. People were touched by Kadeja’s confidence in wearing her natural hair color on such a special day.
In interviews, both Kadeja and Tia expressed surprise and gratitude for the overwhelming positive response.
Kadeja admitted she hadn’t anticipated so much attention, as she had always seen her gray hair as a normal part of herself. She was moved by how her decision inspired others to embrace their own unique features.
Before her wedding, Kadeja wasn’t active on social media. The attention her video received made her realize how important her choice was for many people struggling with self-acceptance. She felt humbled by the supportive comments and thanked everyone for embracing her natural look.
