- This is my gray/grey air update. I talk about 10 things that happened to me when I went grey.
Some are, of course, obvious. However, I think you will find a few gems in there, especially if you're thinking about going grey yourself.
My grey hair is part of my effort to live a more simple, minimalist, and sustainable lifestyle.

Let me know what products you use for your grey hair - I find that a cleansing bar shampoo and an ACV rinse is all I need these days!
How do you use ACV? Pls tell me. Thanks for this very encouraging video. ❤
@@julianacascante7558 Thank you for watching :) So I mix about 1 tbc of ACV with about 2 cups of water and after I shampoo my hair, I just pour that mixture over my hair, let it sit a few minutes and then rinse with water.
@@CoolSustainable tyvm going for that acv!
Hi👋🏻
I really enjoyed your video. It is so encouraging. I’m an Iranian girl. As you know Iran is a country which still culture and public opinion is taking so serious. I’m struggling with my gray hairs from when I was 20. And now at my 30, i think enough is enough. I want to be myself, I want to show others in my family and friends that even with gray hair you will be yourself.
Thank you for your sharing.🎈
Thank you! I hope your family can accept you for who you are!
I last colored my hair in February. I had a baby in April and between becoming a new mom and quarantine, I’ve found this is the perfect time to go gray. 👩🏼🦳✨
That is excellent! Baby was actually one of the reasons I started thinking about going grey as well - great choice!
I, too, find this the perfect time (stay-at-home order) to go gray. My last visit to the salon was in February. May is here. I LOVE the gray. I know it's a long process, but now that I've taken the first step, I'm not going back. I like the brightness around my face! Thank you for this video.
@@jeanneklaver9307 Thank you for watching and I am glad it is helping :)
I started going grey at 19 years old. I'm turning 34 on Monday and I have decided I'm sick if coloring it. I haven't colored it in two months and I actually don't hate it. It's almost completely grey on top. Not too sure about the rest. I'm thinking I'm going to go for it now. Your hair is really pretty.
Thanks! I am the same age :) Go for it, don’t look back, you will love it!
I love my grey hair!! I grew mine out 6 years ago. I started going grey very early in my teens. I decided to grow it out before it was too noticeable so it would grey gradually as I got older. I had a stripe on one side at first. Now I've got full on salt and pepper at 30 years old. And just like you people think inpaid to have it coloured this way. I think its beautiful and better than any colour I've ever paid for.
I honestly didn't have any fears because I don't care what people think about my physical appearance. I think that comes from having a sort of alternative/gothy style all my life ive been ridiculed for everything anyway and I had to overcome that struggle as young as like 12 to 13 years old.
I do understand how hard that is, but... grey is gorgeous in my opinion and I love how it looks curled, when you can see all the colours mixed together through the curls.
Its amazing not having any maintenence, I just shampoo, condition, put a little jojoba oil in andd let it air dry. If i want more curls I use rods or rollers. No heat ever and my greys are super soft, softer than my dark hair for sure.
What a great message! What would you suggest for people who are so worried about their friend judging them?
@@CoolSustainable I think I'd say maybe have a talk about it, explain that you're thinking about growing the greys in. And be prepared for the possibility of a bit of judgement, it might not come and that's great but if it does, you're already prepared. Try not to take it personally, after all it's a societal thing we've randomly created, it's not a fact just people's opinions which are purely subjective. .
I think really it comes down to accepting it within yourself and to understand you look wonderful with or without your friends acceptance.
Most people will just want you to be happy and will quickly get used to the change.
And anyone who is mean about it doesn't deserve your friendship full stop. At the end of the day it's your body and your hair and you should be happy with it regardless of other people's thoughts. People's opinions change, people themselves change, some people have certain expectations and viewpoints and that's fine but why should all of those factors affect YOUR happiness and your life?
It shouldn't. Those who love you will accept your choices :)
Sometimes we need to accept that we can't please everyone, but we can please ourselves.
Amazing! That sense of pride and confidence is just something else. Can’t explain it but the feeling is great
awesome!!!
Have only listened so far to your first two reasons but boy they are great! I love the "nothing happened." Also like number #2 that confidence went way up; I think something like that is happening to me. Love that what you said about your hair, that it "just is." Feeling something like that too. Have just started, 2 1/2 months. Your hair highlights, or grey distribution, whatever one could call it is really beautiful. Looking so forward to seeing what mine does.
I LOVE that NOTHING happened!! I love that!
I hope it helped you :)
@@CoolSustainable aww thank you, yes
Your grey hair is such a gorgeous colour and I love your advice!
Thank you! It changes colour all the time as well!
I'm 65 tomorrow! In first couple months going grey. Can't wait! Thanks for this. Your hair is so beautiful
Great video... I love your attitude. Very refreshing towards life in general. I like your #1.... nothing changed when you went gray...life went on. 😊
Its been six weeks since I colored my hair. I use to have to touch up my roots every 2weeks. I'm so surprised how easy it was to just stop stressing over that gray line! Lol I cant wait to see more of my gray and how it will look! I was worried at first but now that I have decided 100% that I'm no longer coloring I'm so excited for this journey. ❤
Tammy Thomason of I’m so glad! I hope you power through and won’t be disappointed by the results :)
Hi I’m only in my 2 months of my gray transition.
Thank you so much for sharing your experienced.
Your hair looks beautiful!
Thank you! Keep going and yours will be gorgeous too!
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. I have very thin, fine and naturally silver hair. I am 9 weeks into my no dye journey and I've got about an inch and a half of growth. My hair also hasn't been cut in that time, and it's usually very short. So once I get a haircut in about 3 weeks I should have mostly gray hair with maybe an inch or so of dark left over. I may have her cut it even shorter than normal just to get the dyed parts off. I'm so excited to finally have the chance to grow it out. Because I have been dying it dark for so many years I knew that growing it out was going to be a weird process and since I don't go anywhere at the moment, it's been the perfect opportunity!
This sounds like you were ready! How excited are you to see your new hair?! Thank you for your support :)
@@CoolSustainable My Mom stopped dying her her about a decade ago, but she also had blonde hair so it wasn't so obvious. My sister stopped a few years ago but she had been dying it black so her line of demarcation was pretty bad. Because my hair is so short, and I'm stuck at home, I knew this was the absolute best time to try it out! My roots are very white, I'm so excited to get it cut and see what it looks like!
First, Let me say that you look quite stunning.
The color of your hair is almost a brilliant silver, platinum. So, I'm sure many will assume cosmetically you have altered the color in some way. So, you are quite fortunate to have such an illustrious shade.
Graying can be daunting for some. For some maybe there is a presumption that they will appear older than they are, not as youthful or vibrant, etc. I'm sure there are a number of reasons. But, as a man I find it visually pleasing: when I see women out and about with wonderful graying or silver tones; I have encountered some women who's hair is absolutely white in entirety and it looks absolutely beautiful.
I myself have began the process of embracing the Silver Fox look. Just curious, what you ladies think when you see a distinguished Gent who may be slightly graying, salt and pepper look, or perhaps fully grey?
To all women everywhere, feel confident and free to be who you are naturally. Your mate should appreciate and will appreciate you just the same.
🤗 Cheers from 🇬🇧
Your hair looks fantastic, really beautiful! I'm much older than you, but thinking of going grey... finally after so many times of considering it. It will be interesting to see what my real hair color looks like after over 30 years of coloring it. I am over worrying over stupid roots and putting chemicals on it.
I am so glad! the colour will change as well- its like an ever changing creature :)
So inspiring. I'm 4 months into grow out and have just entered my 40's. I just hope more and more do it. The norm!!!
You're inspirational! Also beautiful and youthful. Love the kitty ♡
Thank you :) I hope to empower
Your hair is the bomb and natural, I love it.
Thanks!
I'm only in for 4 months and I can't wait to see how it will turn out in the end. Since I always dyed my hair black, the difference between my natural hair and the dye is rather harsh. But I'm okay with it, however it takes sooooo much time... but I decided to go cold turkey and not to bleach my hair in order to embrace the whole "journey". I think I will be so happy and proud of myself once I'll reach my goal :-)
I think you will as well. It was one of the most rewarding vanity experiences I've had and now it is so easy! If you can power through this grow out phase, then you will really enjoy your "new" hair!
Jenny it sounds like you and I are at the same location on the road to going natural. I also have dark hair, and 4 months ago decided that the last time I coloured my hair would be the last time I coloured my hair....all over at least. I have an appointment next week and I plan on doing the same colour only with foils on parts of my hair. Then the next appointment after that do fewer foils, then continue with fewer and fewer until my hair is at a good length to cut into a long pixie cut. Wish me luck!
@@elizabethgiffinstjohn7610 Sound like a good plan and I'm sure it will turn out great! Happy x-mas!
I agree: the poisons to me and the earth, the freedom from always feeling "embarrassed" or having to try to "hide" the new growth between dying it, and here, here for the awesome natural highlights! I'm almost 2 years in since the last time I dyed it. My hair is still pretty long though so I still have quite a bit of the dyed parts left on it. My hair gets super puffy if it gets too short and I don't care for the way that looks so I'm toughing out the rest of the transition by keeping more of it for longer.
Good on you for doing that!
@@CoolSustainable i love your videos..I love my grey hair thats got some dark brown mixed in ..its and hombre' type look. Ladie at beauty shop told me many ladies would love the look of my hair color.. i only use purple shampoo. I use a moisturizing shampoo. I only wash my hair. No more tham 2 times a week.

Welcome! I am so glad this is helpful :)
You Inspire me too. I enjoy your videos..
It looks beautiful!
Thank you very much :)
Hi! Me too, I'm on my grey hair journey.. Going on my 1 year on March 10..By the way im 59 years young.. I don't mind when people criticize me.. Embracing the new version of me.. I love the new me hehehe.. ❤️❤️❤️😊
good for you!!! the more i have my grey hair the more i love it!!!
Your hair looks beautiful lol o wish my grey was consistent! I just have a stripe on front lol
i am sure it is beautiful!
Truthx10! Thank you
!!!
I love apple Vida vinegar rinse. Leaves my hair soft and shiny. Your hair is lovely. Thank you. I’m only 3 month in.
Janie Hall yay! I use regular vinegar and it seems to work so far.
Cool Sustainable your hair is lovely. Thank you for answering
I enjoyed the video but I also had fun looking for the kitty 😺😺😺😻
Thank you! She is a frequent visitor here :)
Yes your hair is gorgeous, I'm a black women and my hair is blended grey just like yours. I wish other women would try going grey they find out that it is very beautiful.
I wanted to go gray . And I love it ❤
sometimes some people have the grey hair gene.which a person goes grey when really young like 16 yrs old. i have a friend who has this and is totally grey! doesn't matter what age you are it's just the facts of life. i am going grey and i will be 50 in may! i too am tired of regrowth touch ups. my hair goes grey after 1-2 wks of color. so i found this hair dye that is mixed 50/50 grey and brown which i am. but i don't think i want to dye my hair again just for the mixed grey in the brown. so 2020 is the grey movement. i am just going to let the sliver in and enjoy life. :)
Super! Yes, I think I've got the gene - my whole family went grey very early in their 20's.
Great video! Thanks
your hair is gorgeouuuuuus...good job....
Thank you :)
I stopped dying about 3 years ago & now my waves & curls have come back
I’m almost a year into my no dye journey. I can’t wait to get the last of the blonde out when lockdown eases and can get it cut.
yes!!! you will love it!
Its very freeing not to keep dying hair.. i love the natural hair.. i do still love my make up..
You do not look gorgeous.....YOU LOOK VERY, VERY, VERY GORGEOUS, CHARISMATIC, INTELLECTUAL, CHARMING AND VERY SOPHISTICATED.....the more natural women in the street the more self-confident, brave and strong women in the world!!!! Because letting grey hair grow stimulates hidden power in us, women....we let our natural beauty thrive..we do not hide ourselves (because of modern marketing, tradition or other people's perception). We are totally FREE from fulfilling others expectations, etc....Thank you for a lovely video!!!!
what a comment! wow- you made my day!
@@CoolSustainable I am at the beginning of my "going grey path"!!! I have tried twice but I've seen a lovely hair colour product in the store and I bought it again....offfff...I regreted later!!! I must start my journey again!!! You gave me a lot of motivation..THANK YOUUUUUU SOOO MUCH!!!!
I totally agree with you, I'm 3 years in and only now just short Bob silver shades totally, I was long shoulder black, I went cold Turkey with help using wow powder for early months, yes I don't miss the salons or worse DIY boxes, I'm still me, it is so freeing , great vid, love your earings
Karen Burgess thank you- they are thrifted :)
When did you go for a short bob? I’m one year in, went cold turkey also and I’ve longer than my shoulders brown at the bottom hair.
Hi! I did not see this until now :( CZcams though it was a spam comment - so weird... Anyway, I cut the hair short right away to make it look like it had less growths at the top.
Some older women might look older when their hair goes gray (like me) but it brightens up their face and it looks better.
oh really? because of the colour?
@@CoolSustainable To me it does. As you get older you lose color, your lips thin, your brows may thin or turn gray etc. So when you let the hair go gray, you have even less color. But as I said, that is offset by the way the white hair just brightens you up. (and make up works wonders)
I think it is very positive when young women like you embrace their grey hair.
Not only does it look very beautiful on you, women like you help to change the negative perception of grey hair.
After all it is just another colour.
@@privatedeborah1004 Exactly :) Most people actually first assume that I dye it that way :)
I really enjoyed this video! I wish I had the desire to do this years ago. I started going grey very young and had been coloring my hair for over 40 years. The last 30 it was every 3 weeks! Finally last August I decided enough was enough. I had lost my precious mom in July and my priorities shifted. My hair was brown but lately I had been having it highlighted. Then I had it dyed to all brown and wasn’t happy with it. So I went to my hairdresser, who is so supportive, and had a full highlight with no root touch ups. Then in October we did it again. For some reason that time it came out orange!! I went back in for more work but it didn’t do much good. But I didn’t want to ruin my hair so I let it be for a while. Today I went back in and she bleached specific pieces and then put on a toner that really made a difference and thankfully it’s still soft. I’ve got about 5 months growth and it’s a beautiful shimmering white. With the added toner it’s blending much better! I am so pleased. And I had a cut too. My face is too full to go short but I feel I’m on my way! Finally! I feel free and don’t think I look any older. Bravo to you for doing this now. You look young and beautiful! Thanks for this inspirational video!!
Oh that sounds like it looks so pretty!! Thank you for watching :)
😊😊
Thank you 🙏🏼
welcome :)
My style is short and I have stopped coloring it, too. My hair is more salt and pepper. Hopefully it will become lighter down the road. I have been told by a coworker that I do look older now that my hair is grey!!! Oh, well!!!
Older is not bad either!
I'm grey!❤
I’m almost finished growing out my gray. It has been 20 months. I use Phyto Phytargent Brightening Shampoo once or twice a month to combat yellowing and make my silver sparkle.
Nice tip - thanks!
You got lovely hair x
Thank you :)
I am hispanic origin and my skin tone is deep winter...i have thick blackish eyebrows, dark eyes, just wonder if it would look good on me or wash me out!? I want to but scared!
Just celebrated my one year, no color anniversary! I agreed. First thing, nothing, nothing. No comments. Didn’t lose friends or clients.
It’s becoming more apparent the difference between the 4 inch roots and the old brown at the bottom. Did you do a substantial hair cut? To cut out the old color and help the 100% color free process?
Selestine Overholser yup! You just become you with grey hair hahaha
Thanks! What purple mask do you use? Since I have curly hair, I’m looking for a purple shampoo/conditioner or mask that’s gonna be gentle on my hair. What do you use?
Selestine Overholser I use kerastase purple mask and it’s fine. I wonder though if it’s simply moisturizing and the rest is in my head...
Saludos desde Panamá
You look beautiful ❣️
That is very sweet - thank you :)
I look grey and white cool
How long has it take got to get to that point?
Wow...beautiful
I stopped coloring my hair.. I'm on my tenth month.. By the way im 59 years young hehehe.. I'm embracing the new version of me.. You look great with your grey hair.. Love it! ❤️🌞✌️😇😇😇😇😇😇😇☕
Thank you! Power to you!!! I hope you are also LIKING your new you :)
Is it not poss to transition faster by stripping out the dyed colour and colouring it grey /silver ?
I tried that but it ruined my hair and the grey/silver never looked that great!
I have to have those glasses! Where did you get them?
Thank you! Here are a few links to similar pairs:

Starting this months to be grey hair.
Just wondering if you need to change the colours that you wear if you go grey?
Yes, actually, watch this video I made talking just about this: czcams.com/video/F0HhqZpH8Zs/video.html
Thank you! Also what are the insta groups/community?
I follow the hashtags such as grombre, silversisters, etc. I also recently made a video about Instagram accounts I follow for grey hair inspiration - check it out on my channel :)
The loom of horror from others that I'm going back to Grey.
let them!!! as long as you are happy with your decision, it doesn’t matter
Yes but when it’s your husband telling you you’ll look 20 years older, and he’s really not on board it’s a harder thing to ignore
@@catherinebiermann295 Let him dye his own hair if he's so into it
One thing happened when I went natural 8 years ago my hair is its normal color no dye and thats pretty much it? These journeys are silly. Its not a journey you stop and its over?
Justnowz 4 month a
Go I did not dye my hair cool
super!!! do you like it?
Do you have warm skin tone or cool? I find most of the women online rocking the gray have cool undertones. Their is very little inspiration from women who have warm skin and I’m having trouble finding advice on clothing and jewelry color choices with my orange-y undertones.
Woman at the Well hmmm I would say I’m a cool undertone person. However, I didn’t change anything I wear and it seems to work fine! They only thing I am more conscious of now is using bright lipstick- brings a lot of life and colour to the face.
Woman at the Well hey :-) how about rose gold? Thats pretty neutral and both warm and cool undertones can benefit
Here's a warm skin tone grey hair channel for you - one of the BEST!
czcams.com/channels/s2Nfsjms0831GBPCBxXGcA.html
I have warm skin tone and used to stick with warm colored clothing and jewelry. But now with silver hair I find I look better in cool toned clothing and jewelry, like blues, purples, cool toned reds and greens, gray/black/white, silver jewelry. Match it to your hair!
now the dye's growing out, I'm not grey, I'm white like mum, help!!
but you don’t like it??? wait, the colour might change still!
Me too. Not dyed since March and regrowth is so white against the black.
@@fleur3986 Super!!!
White is gorgeous!
@@moniquemacaulay8270 I so agree!
Can I ask how old you are, please?
I started growing out my greys (3 months now) and about 3inch in.... I need some motivation to continue 🤦🏻♀️🙏🏼
Yes! I am turning 34 on Saturday. I started this journey at nearly 32. I started to go grey in my early 20s. Keep going!!! Your stage is the toughest but it will be worth it!
@@CoolSustainable Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I feel humbled as I am about to turn 45... ouch! I started going grey in my early 20s and have been colouring since... just over 20 years...!
with Lock down and having to shelter (I am at risk group) kind of "forced me" into it, but I am not mad at it... maybe nature was telling me - it's time! big kisses!
@@liatb.566 embrace it if you cannot fight it, right?
Cool Sustainable definitely 😘💋
Sadly the light is not so good to see all the beauty of your hair!
Check out some other video I have about grey hair - I think they might have better light - I also have one coming up next Monday :)
I hate 3 hours of small talk I’m done after 5 minutes lol
Hahaha
It is not Good to have a grey hair.that is it..
mari mizban - why? So you are going to dye your hair forever?
@@susannovak8263Hi ... my dear i nevr day my hair.
Nah, you're wrong. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
It's not good to be negative. THAT'S IT!
You look beautiful 🤩🥰
Thanks!
