Now 38, after dying her hair in her 20&#8217;s, because she thought she had to, starting from 7 years ago she decided she would go with her natural color. On her wedding day, she decided she was going to keep rocking her grey hair.<\/p>\n<p>Miami-based makeup artist Tia Codrington posted behind-the-scenes bridal glam TikTok videos starring Baker and they quickly got over 1 million views with hundred of people praising Baker&#8217;s beautiful look for her wedding, and her amazing gray hair. In the video, Baker is getting makeup applied to her face while she has her gray strands pin-curled up away from her face. The caption:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I loved my bride&#8217;s natural gray hair. She&#8217;s had it since she was 16,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One TikToker commented,&#8221;Came here to see more of her and those fabulous grays&#8221;. Codrington shared the feeling, as she told &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221;:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I initially didn&#8217;t have any expectations when posting the videos other than to share her beauty through my eyes, but witnessing how she embraced and embodied the beauty of her hair was something I felt compelled to share,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was amazing to know that she had options to change her hair color or try something different for that day, but chose to be herself and wear her natural hair color.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mua_ttt_tia\/video\/7115711879300959534\" data-video-id=\"7115711879300959534\">\n<section><a title=\"@mua_ttt_tia\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mua_ttt_tia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@mua_ttt_tia<\/a> I love the girls that stick to their roots \ud83d\ude0d <a title=\"fyp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"blacklove\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/blacklove\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#blacklove<\/a> <a title=\"bridalmakeup\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/bridalmakeup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#bridalmakeup<\/a> <a title=\"bridetiktok\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/bridetiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#bridetiktok<\/a> <a title=\"blackbridesoftiktok\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/blackbridesoftiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#blackbridesoftiktok<\/a> <a title=\"\u266c original sound - Tia Codrington\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7115711720823212843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Tia Codrington<\/a><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Baker was surprised and shocked &#8220;in a good way&#8221; at all the attention her videos got:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I did not expect for the responses to be as plentiful as I look at myself in the mirror every day and did not think it was that big of a deal that I was embracing my natural hair and look,&#8221; she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Baker wanted her bridal glam to be a true reflection of her personality and style, just with a glamorous approach. She spent long hours designing and planning her custom=made J. Drl Olmo wedding dress.
