I quit coloring about 12 years ago (I was in my early 40’s). I love my hair. My hair is so much more interesting, I find it fascinating. I don’t care if it makes me look “older”, I am older. Be the best you can be with what you have. I love that more women are embracing this.
Totally agree! I looove it :)
You said something that impressed me a little: You do not care if you look older if you ARE older. This stay forever young crap is illusionary
Your hair is stunning. I am a year and 3 months cold turkey with long curly hair. I really wish I would have done it at your age. I'll be 62. Ageism in my generation really did exist, especially on the job. It has been the most liberating thing I've done, and I thank younger women who are paving the way and doing it naturally.
I absolutely love your thought on this! Even now there is ageism but it is almost self-imposed sometimes! Most of the comments I hear from those who talk to me about my hair is about being afraid to look old. First of all, grey hair alone won't make someone look older. But even if we do end up looking older, who cares? Old=beautiful too!
I just decided to go natural I'm 58 and I'm hoping by age 60 it will be all natural,
@@normajean8105 enjoy your journey! Depending on your length, it might even be done before you turn 60. 💙
Sister, you're 10yrs ahead of me... Any advice? I'm perimenopausal and having all the emotions come up around letting go of being '30/40 something'! Uggggg...I know better! Still, that voice!
@@TheK7aloha embrace the new you each day. Even at 62, it's still weird looking at myself, but soooo many compliments! Watch as many silver sister videos, that helped with support. Get a tiny trim, love yourself❣
Hair confidence. Yes! Well put! I have that now! 7 months in to my natural color grow out at 53 years old and I have cool white steaks at my temples. I was just thinking today how FREEING it is to pull my hair back and not worry if anyone would see the gray roots coming in!!! Now I show it ON PURPOSE and love it! Going to be a 3 year project as my hair is below my shoulder blades. I can’t wait until the day I cut the last of my dye off!!! Still hoping hubby will warm up to it. He is not happy. Last time, 8 years ago, I caved because of him. But not this time! I am DONE with the constant upkeep, allergic reactions, worry and dissatisfaction. Plus the silver brightens my older skin tone better than my dyed color did.
LOVE!!!
I think gray hair in young people looks very dramatic and unique.
Oh my goodness, I grew out my hair for a year and was about to dye it again and I found your video - thank God! I am young too, but had to color every 2-3 weeks bc all the white hairs are on top, and I am salt and pepper, not feeling so hot with this stage.... phew! I saw your hair, and that is pretty much how mine will look.... finally someone around my age and my natural hair that I can look to for support and ideas. Huge sigh of relief! Thank you for putting yourself out there so I could find you in my hour of need. And I subscribed because I am also trying to go chemical free - natural living, and you have tips on that too. Bless you! 💗
Thabk you for such a nice message! I am so happy that you are growing out your hair - it is such a liberating thing to do! i do not regret it for a minute! Yes, the grow out stage sucks but it is worth it in the end!
I love this!❤️. I’m letting myself go gray naturally too as part of my sustainable journey. It feels liberating to me. You look amazing!
Thanks! And good luck- it can be tough at times!!
I’m 53 and have been toying with the idea of going grey for about six months now. Your videos have inspired me to go for it! Now instead of fearing it I’m actually excited!!! Thank you!
Oh I am so happy!!! Good luck :)
Your hair is gorgeous! I’m 53 and started going grey in my late 20’s. I decided to go cold turkey 3 months ago. I’m loving the colour (about 90% white). Wish me luck.
Power to you! Good luck! Mine seems to be getting darker but maybe will get back into whitening - i am loving all the streaks!
Good luck!
Speaking as a guy I find your hair just awesome!
Thanks !
I find that when young people have naturally grey hair it doesn't really age them, but when you're older dying your hair can de-age you. I've been de-aging myself that way for years and now I'm letting the grey out and yeah, I look older, but I AM old, and that is what one really has to come to terms with.
Yes on younger people it makes them different not older..
I'm six months in and really needed to see your journey. I'm trying to stay strong and stay away from the dye. Thanks for sharing beautiful!
You look great with gray hair.
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm 49 and I decided to start growing out my natural grey hair last week. I have similar hair to yours and I relate a lot to your experiences. I can't believe that I never even considered growing out my own natural hair colour. I wish I had grown it out sooner. Thanks again, your videos are very inspiring and you look beautiful xo
I am so happy to read this! I wish you strength as you endure the first few months and then you won’t regret it!
Your hair is beautiful I’m seriously thinking about transitioning I’m tired of dying my hair every two to three weeks and still have gray growth in between dyes. I’m just feeling self conscious about what extended family members and people in my church will think. But I feel like I NEED to do this and if I have results similar to yours then it’ll all be worth it.
They will be yours! The results will be worth it if you will feel better :)
I’m 16 and i’m starting to get grey hairs. My dad started turning grey when he was just 18. I dont mind it though! 😊 you look so beautiful!!!
oh wow!!! that’s pretty cool - don’t colour them :) And thank you :)
Thanks for sharing. Loving the all natural look!
I just joined your space and find you so inspirational! I cancelled my first color appointment this week, and finally found the courage to make THE decision to transition. Thank you for your contribution!
Gemma, I am so happy for you! I hope you will love the journey and the results :)
First of all - forget your hair - your skin is beautiful! Now my two cents. I'm almost a year in and I have to say the worst was the first 3 months. I felt so self conscience. Now I totally embrace my gray and wonder why I waited so long (53 now). Can't wait to chop the last of the color out and let it grow again!
Thanks!! I agree, the first shock of it all is the worst but then it becomes the new normal.
I tried growing out my gray a few times. My 2 closest girlfriends would say to me, no, don't, stay beautiful forever.😡 it was very discouraging. I think you look absolutely beautiful all natural and the gray. I see the multi colors in your hair and it looks so healthy. You inspired me to try this again. I remember my grandma's hair, she has the multi grays and browns in her hair and the colors are somewhat uneven. It looks marbled. It's gorgeous. Mine looks like it could be similar. I'm excited to try this, thanks for your video.❤
Aw, thanks! I was actually also inspired by my grandmother as well - they are the coolest! They have the wisdom to not give a daaaaaamn.
I never dyed my hair, so I won't need to grow out any dye. However, I have had a grey streak around my forehead for 10 years. I had an old friend tell me, that "I need to please start coloring my hair" to match my otherwise youthful look. I thought that was so rude of her! anyway, I never did anything about it other than hiding it under my bangs. A week ago I switched my part to the other side, and now my silver streak is set loose! Can't wait to hear the comments from some of my friends.....Stick with what you want to do, Jennifer!
Yes! The sole reason im starting to go naturally grey is I can not face another 3 hours getting it coloured. I'd rather it grow out and be unique like that than waste more time trying to pretend my hair isn't grey
The best and most positive video about gray hair i have ever seen.thank you so much!❤✌
you're welcome!!!! I will film an update this week :)
I will make another update soon :)
I started dying my hair at the age of 12. I have had all different colors from blue to platinum blonde to red. My hair has always been healthy no matter what color I dyed it. Over 2 years ago I woke up and stopped dying my hair. I love my gray salt and pepper hair. I'm 37 years old and I will let the gray continue to show. I do use a purple shampoo a couple times a month to help make my gray strands more vibrant. I do get those feelings of needing a hair change but I have stuck to my guns. I can't wait till my entire head is gray.
Me too! My aunt just grew out her hair and it is WHITE! Can't wait to see my hair get more white than grey. Good on you for doing this!
I’m doing it! Thank you! I’be also always been bothered by the pressure of the beauty industry. The waste of money. How insecure women spend more. How we have been brainwashed. How bad all the chemicals are for ourselves and for the environment. We are literally washing who knows what down the drain. As well as the fuel used to ship the products and exhaust that goes onto the environment and of course the packaging.
I’m also going fully gray(48).And I’m loving it. Loving your hair, and style. Love from Austin,Tx
Woohoo, thank you for watching and good luck!!!
I understand/don't understand the shudder about going grey. When I was young, my hair was naturally golden blond. As I got older, it darkened to dark blond that I found ugly. So I coloured it. I got tired of colouring it, so I let it grow out. My hair was even darker and now ,at 60, it's a dark chestnut red/brown with bits of grey. When I started going grey, I loved it. The last time I couloured my hair (years ago), I even pulled my grey bits out and away from the dye to keep them grey. I find more and more greys coming it. I call it my glitter coming in. Embrace your aging. No matter what you do, you are going to get older. Enjoy the changes. Love yourself not matter how how you are.
"Glitter" I love it!
Oh wow! You couldn't look more lovely! I did the same thing a few years ago in my late forties and I love it. You look youthful and beautiful. I so agree with every point you make!
Thank you! I wish more women felt free enough to do this.
You are inspiring me. The lockdown is showing me 1 1/2” of growth. Not a very pretty sight and I have long hair that I’m not prepared to give up.
How I wish there was an easier way but after doing the same search as so many others I’ve come to the conclusion there just isn’t!
I know....if you go for it, just do it - it is only a year or two of growth (depending if you cut your hair or not...)
Demi permanent (wash out?) dye until the permanent colour grows out?
And...….you saved a heap of money!!! I am 18 months into growing mine out and it is wonderful and I am able to spend that money saved on family (or myself) and am fascinated by the different colours - it looks like streaks.
YUP!!! Mine is still changing as it is growing longer, too!
Wow, I saw one of your videos the other day when you started the transition...you look amazing with your grey hair now. Brilliant, I am encouraged, x
I am so happy you are encouraged! I hated the transition but it is so worth it now!
You rock the gray so well!
Thanks!!!! :)
The advantage of going gray young is that as you get older there isn't this dramatic, aging change. It actually makes you seem ageless.
Well I haven’t ever thought of it this way - amazing!
You look absolutely stunning!... I am 63 yo... I went 8 weeks and caved!... I am so upset with myself!... your hair is gorgeous, as well as your face!... you seem like such a genuine, vibrant young woman!.., I am going to try again!...thank you!👏👏👏👏👏
Yay, thank you and good luck - stay strong!
Cool Sustainable thank you so much!!💜💜💜
Naomi Alexander thank you so much for the encouragement!!!... right after the holidays I am starting again!... 💜🙏💜💜
I’m 32 with greys and am starting on my grow out journey! I loved your video and all your points!
that’s awesome!!! good luck and I wish you the strength to get through the awkward stage.
Thank you for empowering women to be who they are. I am 2 months in and can't wait for my new grey looks. It's time!
I am so happy for you!!!
Liberating! That's the key! Men don't bother and they look "attractive". Why shouldn't we? Thanks for your video, I am going to start now !
yay!!!
I stopped coloring my hair 5 months ago, I am 44. It is hard, I cover it with root spray but keep going in the process. I know it is going to be good for me. You look sooo beautifull.
I'm a youthful 70 year old. I've been doing root touch-ups for the past 25 years. Last December I discovered I had alopecia areata. Hadn't noticed it at first because I have a lot of hair and the area was in the back of my head. My last root touch-up was in January. Around the same time I contacted Covid...my husband and I thankfully had very mild symptoms but I noticed the Alopecia had gotten worse probably due to stress. . There and then I decided to stop the dye jobs...my dermatologist has been treating the areas with steroid shots and topical clobetasol....thankfully the bald spots are almost gone. I had purchased a couple of good quality wigs which I used when going out socially....my grey/white hair is about 2-1/2 inches along. I have a shortish bob...which I keep in shape with haircuts every 8 weeks and hopefully by the end of the year it will be mostly out. I believe everything happens for a reason. Amusing incident went supermarket shopping last week wearing a headband and the checkout gal complimented me on my two-toned hair.
.
what a story! i am sorry it happened this way but glad you finally found freedom!
Your hair is gorgeous! Have started my transition journey about a month and a half ago. Can’t wait!🌼
It will look beautifuul! Thank you :)
I call them clumps too! 😘 you look beautiful grey.
If we wear pretty make up and clothes(right colours) , grey hair DOES NOT MAKE US LOOK OLD AT ALL!!!!!!! I am in transition process...It is liberating....I love it....soft, healthy, natural, silky hair, no artificial dye!!!!! You look stunning, very, very sophisticated and classy...I've got a question: what shampoo and hair conditioner to use?
I know! Lipstick, especially :)
I just found your page whils looking for the courage to begin the transition back to au natural for the 2nd time! 🤦♀️ I initially took the drastic step of a buzz cut in May 2018 after a disastrous attempt to “blend “ my dyed blonde hair into the silver roots....my hair turned out PURPLE and my hairdresser said she couldn’t do anything with it because it was a metallic dye😱 So out came the clippers! I truly looked like my brother...but with boobs!😭 I got LOADS of great comments on my hair but I never felt like myself because of the buzz cut and the fact I was recovering from a really nasty ankle break, so was hobbling around with a walking stick 🤷♀️ The crunch point was on holiday that September when a woman asked me (to my husbands great amusement) if I had my OAPs bus pass! 😭 (it’s a UK free bus pass for the elderly) I stopped at the first supermarket when we landed , bought a hair dye and I’ve been dying my hair ever since. I immediately regretted dying it but it’s taken this long to feel confident enough to take the plunge again....without the buzz cut this time! 😂
Definitely pros and cons to going grey but sometimes you need to experience the dye again to see how it is so much better without it :)
Grey Haired Goddess- love it! You look beautiful!
Looks great!
I'm over 2 years letting my hair go natural, I'm really happy I did... I'm like you tho.. bad advice that didn't just brighten my hair it change my dark hair that's mixed in with my white hair.
But it is what it is ...lol
I'm not cutting my hair again short and I'll just live with it💗💗💗....
Never dying it again either - what's the point, right?!
You are an inspiration + your hair and the style you keep it very flatttering to your silver locks.I am living through the same you lived. I am considering this journey but taking my time.
Thank you :) Consider it well but if you decide to go this way, I am sure you will love the results!
Yes, You have inspired me. I wish I can show you the finished product when it happens.
Please do!! somehow... So happy for you!
Dig your vibe Sista! You're hair is GORGEOUS! I've been in the process since Aug 2018. Used Hair Print up until Nov 2019. Nothing since! Man I used to be ALL natural in 20's didn't even shave for a few years. It's really interesting and frustrating at 51 to find myself so programmed! Grrrr... That said...I'm in! I desires silky natural healthy hair again! This dry nasty dyed hair, in my opinion, makes one look old! Not the color.
Agree with you 100% - i am in love my hair more and more, the longer I have it.
Your hair looks beautiful. A lot of girls bleach their hair white and grey and that go broke and damage their hair in the process
Love and Agree with your "rants"! btw, Love your hair!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your video!! I did the same like you, and I am happy about my grey hair like you! You look so beautyful and young! 👍 Happy Greetings from a grey-haired woman from Germany! 😁
Thanks for the inspiration. If you want an easy transition I would suggest letting your gray grow out sooner rather than later. That way you have less gray and not much of a line of demarcation. I started the process in my mid-50's (I didn't have any in my 40's) but when I had it lightened and highlighted to help with the process my hair was so damaged I had to focus on that. (If I had been brave I would have shaved my head to get rid of the damage and let it grow out gray....but I wasn't that brave) So it wasn't until I turned 60 that I started this process :( Anyway, personally I don't find it that hard. I'm only on month 5 but I just use the wash out root sprays to mask the line of demarcation. Of course, I'm no longer in a professional position where I might be judged but for me, it's not a stressful experience.
I decided to go grey at 58. I'd had it with coloring, high lights, low lights and most of all color fails, not to mention the expense and then not getting what you wanted. My hair has gone grey in streaks and I like it and have never thought about coloring my hair again.
YUP! Never going back!
Thank you for this video!
You totally rock the "gray hair" look.
I love the juxtaposition of having beautiful silver/gray hair against a youthful, lovely face.. such as yours.
I'm 51 with I'm guessing.. approximately maybe 25% gray hair.
Not too much - it still looks natural but I do have some cool looking gray streaks coming in at the top of my hairline and temples... along with the silvery highlighted strands throughout.
Normally I'd be coloring my roots at least every 3-4 weeks.
It's going on 2 months now and I'm kinda digging the grow out pattern and look of my gray.
Your video inspired me to stay on course with going gray and not caving in to being a coloring slave.
(Fingers crossed!)🤞🏼 😘
That is amazing! I am so happy that you're loving it! Just keep waiting and it will pay off! SO many times I wanted to just cover it up but so glad that I didn't! You CAN DO IT!
Keep going! I'm a year and 3 months cold turkey with long curly hair. The reason why I haven't done the final chop yet is because I do like all of the different colors. It's almost like a bayaloge!
@@CoolSustainable Thank you for your comment and words of encouragement! I'm marking my calendar and slowly but surely watching each week roll by without caving in to coloring my roots🤞🏼 🤗🤙🏽
@@julievenus3670 Yes, I hear ya!.. good for you!! 😎👍🏽
My "new color" growth patterns are getting kinda interesting and cool.. kinda digging it so far. I'm only 9 wks without coloring my roots but I think I can pull this off! 🤞🏼🤙🏽🤗
@@generationx9294 you can pull it off! It's such a liberating journey💕
Enjoyed your video about your journey. The comments you got about being "brave" are dumb; if people think about our Maker, God, He doesn't make mistakes, He makes beauty, our hair matters to Him. Its scriptural, a blessing to have grey hair. Enjoy your beautiful mane, mine is dye-free since 2015, March.
Beautiful comment - thank you!
@@CoolSustainable you are most welcome.
Thank you for sharing, I just decided I want to go all Natural I'm 58 and Now I don't care what people think anymore, I too am tired of the Money and Time wasted at the salon And Your Hair is So Beautiful!!
Thanks - I completely agree with the money and TIME wasted! Good luck and be strong!
Hey girl!
I'm 37 years old and my last root touch up was a bit over a month ago and even though I have a box in my drawer, I'm not gonna do it ever again!!!
I must know your birth details to do your birthchart! I'm loving your energy! We think very similar in many different aspects. I love your confidence, it enhances your natural beauty!
Hugs from Sweden
Woohoo! Keep it up - it will be worth it! What deets do you need?
@@CoolSustainable Yay thanks! So I need your date, time and city of birth :) it could be too private, you can message me on Insta at fuegomiespiritu (don't be put off by my 0 post, I only use the account for inspo hehe thanks
I'm with you. Almost 2 years for me. Love it.
Girl power :)
Excellent video. You are beautiful, and so is your hair. You’re also very smart to make this decision early on. Wish I had. I’m 67 and decided to stop coloring about 14 months ago. My hair has definitely gotten healthier. Thank u for this video!
Thank you kindly - yay for healthy hair!
Thank for this. I almost gave up. My hair has only grown 3 inches in 10 months. The waiting is so very difficult.
You're right - it is the most challenging part of this process. However, once it is done, you will never have to do it again! Good luck! Don't give up! Stick it out :)
I’m growing it out too. I am doing Low lights and highlights too. I may just shave it eventually. Lol. You look wonderful. Thanks for the encouragement and advice!!
Thanks! Go for it! So many times I wanted to shave it! YOu WIll LOOK GREAT :)
I can relate to wanting to shave it all off. ☺️
Thanks for your advice. Could you share the photos of your transition? It would help those of us stopping coloring
I wish I had any. But at that time I was trying to hide it so didn’t really take any unfortunately....
Hello to all my silver foxes grey goddesses 🖐🥰🥰🥰🦋🦋🦋
Yahhhhhh!
Nothing to do with grey hair, but you remind me of an English actress who was quite famous in the '80s and early '90s called Joanne Whalley (or Joanne Whalley-Kilmer because she used to be married to Val Kilmer). She appeared in Willow, Scandal and others.
You look beautiful! I'm at the beginning of my journey. ♡
Good luck! Stay strong - you can do it!
I am in transition and can't wait. I decided to go to the hair salon to get balayage and the ends of my hair will be white and my natural will be closer to the scalp and any silver hair growth can blend in with the white hair.
If I had the option, I think I might have done that - but doing good balayage is skill not easily found!
Cool Sustainable I didn't know that. I've been getting small stages done and full blown at the end of this month.
you look fabulous with grey hair. but I gotta say, i think you also looked really cute in the photo with the very light blonde hair. whatever, as long as *you* are happy where you are, that is *all* that matters! it's *your* hair, do whatever *you* want with it!
Thanks - it just didn't feel right then and it was VERY dry!
This is the video I've been looking for! I feel so much better that I'm growing out my gray hair. I'm 5 months in. Everything you say is so true. I'm 36 years old and I felt like every video I saw were older women. Thank 🥰
Thank you for such a nice comment :) I will make an updated version of this video soon. My hair has grown so much! I wish you good luck and strength to stick to it - it is so worth it in the end!
I’m nine months into my journey. I’m 40 and always thought I would let it grow out by then. Most people I know are totally against me going grey, including my 74 year old mother in law and my close friends and sister in law. Luckily, my husband had always encouraged me to do it and is loving the natural look. I have been seeing some very attractive ladies with grey hair in town lately. It’s all about the complete picture. Nothing worse than demarcation lines, fried hair or inches of root regrowth. I think a lot of people think they can put less effort into their looks, just because they did a box dye job. In my gym classes I often see people with damaged, straw hair and always thought healthy, shiny grey hair looks so much better on some of the other well groomed ladies in class.
Keep going! You will see how well you look when it's all done. And your hair will feel sooo much better - no straw feeling here!
Thanks! ☺️
I'm so sick of coloring my hair. My husband told me last night just let your gray hair come in. I must say it made me feel extremely sexy. Lol!!
Oh that's awesome! Your husband is a heck of a man! Are you going to do it?!
@@CoolSustainable
Yes!! I'm going to allow nature to take its course.
@@tinamichelle6969 Oh yay! Good luck :)
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I am growing my grey hair and the first hard part was accepting myself, second is still resisting the temptation of dyeing my hair again. But THE WORST PART are the comments of my own family and friends. I think is harder for them! Thank God my husband is super cool about it.
Yes, if I didn't have the support of my husband, it would be extra hard to delve into the grow out stage.
Love your hair! You are very inspiring!you are very beautiful!
Totally agree with everything you say. I went grey too. Like you I have so many shades of grey. Yeah best thing no line from colouring hair. You look 👀 amazing 😉
Thanks :) Your hair probably looks so cooL!
Worst comment I got from a woman who said, she’d prefer to be bald then be grey...But most love it. Ignore the haters. It’s just another stage of life.
ugh..haters!
Cool Sustainable no matter what you look like, someone will always have an opinion. We’re not here to please them, we’re hear for ourselves and family and real friends 😊👍
I am doing it thanks for your inspiration by the way...you look great!
Hi from Russia. I'm 32 and have grey hair too. Its the best thing that ever happend to me. Sorry for my english.
Anya, super! Udachi!
You look amazing with this gray hair 😍👍🏻
aw, thanks :)
I love your silver! Its really pretty!
Aw, thanks :) It is getting even more white as time goes on.
Thank you ! It’s so inspirational!
Super! I am so glad you found it so!
Thankyou for the encouragement as the transition can be hard!
keep going!
Very informative!
Could you make a more detailed video on how to transition? Any suggestions for the awkward growing out phase??
thank you! yes, i can, though I only know of one way, which was the way I chose...
thank you! yes, i can, though I only know of one way, which was the way I chose...
Hi...you look stunning...love your hair !!! May I know your age pls ? Love the lip colour on you too....I'm Indian and I love my platinum hair...I'm almost 43 yrs old and I love how refined and natural my hair looks ....going grey had been very liberating for me 🤗
Welcome to the silver side :) I am almost 34!
Beautiful hair! Encouraging me to do the same! ☺️
yay!
I am so glad u did this video....ur hair looks amazing
Thank you so much, I am so happy you like it :)
You look fabulous, my dear!
Thank you!
May I ask how old you are?! Because you look very young, and your hair is BEAUTIFUL! I found this very inspiring. I am almost 30. My hair has been going gray/white since I was about 18! 😳 I get those genetics from my dad's side. But I have been contemplating just letting it go.... I have been coloring my hair about once a month (normally just a root touch up, as to not damage the entirety of my hair) since I started noticing a significant amount of gray! But my hair is very dark. And I'm finding it difficult to attempt to start this journey, because I am still fairly young and the few times I have attempted to start, I have gotten really nasty remarks about the way my gray hair looks and it is very discouraging! But I absolutely love the way your hair looks. You absolutely ROCK it! I just don't even know how to go about starting the journey and being able to transition into the gray with my dark hair!
Sure! I am 33 and started thinking about this at around 27. i finally started growing out my hair at 31. I do not regret it for a second! There are lots of ways to start - get highlights, cut your hair, or just let it grow out. I let it grow out- it sucked for the first 6 months and after it was not as noticeable because I kept cutting my hair short. If colouring your hair bothers you I say go for it!!!! It is so empowering :)
Cool Sustainable thank you so much for your response! I am definitely considering it. I think that will be a goal I set for myself for my 30th birthday! I'm honestly pretty nervous. Just due to the snarky remarks I've received from people in the past. My husband's mom, even, LOVES to point out when they are noticeable and she has even yanked a couple out to show me, as if I didn't already know! 🤦🏻♀️ she dyes her hair bright fire engine red to cover up her grays, but loves to point mine out! LOL. I've always gotten rude comments due to it starting, for me, at SUCH a young age! I've never been confident enough to just let it grow! I think I will go get an all over highlight done to it, soon, and get the highlights toned with a silver hue, to see if that would help make the transition easier! 🙂

Thanks so much for asking, i was wondering too :) i’m 35 but like you, i started to get greys in my twenties.. her hair is lovely, i really doubt my hair would look this good if i grow it out as my greys grow in super weird clusters 🤪
Holistic Longevity that’s how mine is as well! I broke. I wasn’t ready! LOL. I tried to let it grow out a LOT due to quarantine. I wasn’t going anywhere anyway... but it was quite patchy and I just wasn’t happy with it! So I caved and ended up touching up my roots again! 🙈
My "you're so brave" reply : "Firemen are brave-this is just a hairdo." Insert eyeroll ;)
love this!!!
Im 34, just found my first "clump" It is beautiful. I dont like this phase though. Id like it to be either all grey or blonde.
It's true, it's not a pleasant phase but you gotta do it if you want the nice end result.
Wonderful video! Great points!
Thank you :)
Gray haired goddess! I like that.
that is what we are :)
Must be soo great to have normal hair again...you look lovely
Love!
I have one inch of growth right now. The line of demarcation is driving me crazy. I have a salon appointment in a week and my stylist is probably going to try to talk me out of this. But I want this. Badly.
AAAH, don't let the stylist talk you out of it! It will be so worth the wait! Why are you going? For a cut? Or are you getting something coloured?
Stay with it. I started last May with some uncertainty. Now I can't wait for it to grow out. I like the color as it is emerging!
Get L'oreal Magic root touch up- it will get you through.
i am scared because today i realized that i will be bald if i keep plucking my grays. so i did a search and found you!
oh yay! Try growing it out - its really rewarding :)
“Thank you for your stupid comment.” 😂 Seriously!
But for real, I have been back and forth on wanting to go gray. Have been doing a lot of what you did when you were trying to decide. Thank you for your video. 😊
YUP! It took a few years for me to take the plunge - it was the serious lack of time while having a baby that did it for me.
It’s beautiful!
Love your hair! I Just stared and I can see 1 cm growth, very minimum, but patient is a virtud.
exactly!
Thank you so much for this video.. You're my hero
Awesome!
Nice, I am inspired, thank you
I am so glad!!!
I like not having to dye my hair a dark brown anymore but I do not like myself with salt and paper hair !! Does anyone else feel this way . I feel stuck with a hair color I don’t know what to do next .
What don't you like about it? I remember feeling washed out in my face. So, then I started using more bright lipstick and it helped.
Well, my grey hair started since I was 9 years old...
but my grey hair isn't that much as yours after few decades... hmmmm it definitely growing more and more greys nowadays =|
Your hair is sooo beautiful 😍
