Going Gray as a Senior (in College) with Abigail Jensen

After finding out the guy she was dating in college hooked up with her sorority sister, Sex Educator and Host of Rat Girls Podcast Abigail Jensen wanted to get her hair dyed with purple tips à la Kylie Jenner's 2014 green hair look. Unfortunately, her hairstylist said this would be a challenge for her and she was correct because she dyed it half gray. For the 2025 season finale of Banging It Out, Elke and Abigail discuss Abigail's plight of going gray as a senior (in college), and how it launched her full-force into throwing caution to the wind, one nipple piercing at a time.
