- I finally share the story of how and why I went grey! I've never dyed my hair, so my silver journey started when I was 13. I bet you have at least some questions about this - and if I haven't answered it in this video, just let me know in a comment.
❤ If you were wondering... I only hold on to silly stories to share them later for the lolz❤

Anna, your hair reminds me of Sophie from "Howl's Moving Castle" if you haven't seen the movie it's about an 18 year old girl cursed by a witch who turned her into a 90 year old lady, by the end of the movie when Sophie manages to break the spell, she keeps her hair gray and Howl tells her "Sophie your hair looks just like starlight, it's beautiful". That's what your hair is Anna, Starlight.
I love that movie
I was thinking of that too!!! Even her general aesthetic remind me of her♡
i just finished watching that movie last night and i’m absolutely in love!! with both the anime and anna’s hair hehe
I love that movie!!!! And I love that you referenced it here for this beautiful lady!
BEAUTY WORDS TO LIVE BY 👵✨
Silver-haired fairy is such a sweet thing to say :)
It is! It stuck with me for years ✨
I agree.
How delightful.
I binged the Hungarian folktales videos last winter. I’m not surprised he’s such a lovely person!
I wish I had gray hair
@@PrettyShepherdthat's really sweet 😊
thank you for mentioning name of this author
I saw these cartoons on CZcams, but unfortunately I haven't watched them yet.
but they interested me
^^; so,, yep.
Btw greetings from Kyiv ❤
My husband went grey at 13. He's half Navajo and his now mostly white hair is stunning.
So cool! I found my first grey hair a year ago (30). While a lot of people panic about that, I was excited!
I have a friend that is almost 60 and she has very little gray hair!
I went grey at 13
I have two friends that have gray hair as well. Tbh I find it cool that they can get grey hair at a young age.
@Gabriella Tovar There was a coworker at my place that was in his sixties and he was part Cherokee and his hair was completely white.
"I don't really give a damn" is the key to a lifetime of happiness, boys and girls. ;)
I agree entirely. It really is true.
yeah judging on what little I see from this video she looks like she truly spends her time and energy making herself happy and balanced so that she can convey that to others as well
Only if is not at expense of others.
Freedom is when you don´t care what´s "normal" - just what is good.
I've had a thick grey streak in my hair since I was a baby :) I used to try to hide it, but now I embrace that silver streak and style my hair in braids and buns to show it off!
What an awesome feature! I'm very glad you're content with it now 🌿
I love that you embrace the beauty of your uniqueness instead of hiding it
Silver streaks are rare and special!
I've had a silver streak since I was born, too! It's very fun wearing braids or half updos that feature it. I am very excited for when the rest of my hair goes grey.
Ooo like in Frozen 😆
The way she talks and her mannerisms remind me of a Disney princess. She just holds her hands so regally
Yess!!!! Totally agree. And the way she styles her hair adds to that too!
I don't know many princesses or queens, but I don't think real princesses or Queen Elizabeth gesticulates. They are very poised, not expressive.
I know, right?!! 👑👑
@@dudanunesbleff I said Disney Princess, not necessarily one in history, she reminds me of Rapunzel (and not just because she has long hair like her, it’s just her energy)
She reminds of snowy white if she were to have grey hair
I started going grey around 18-19. I felt uneasy with it for a while, but a few years later, when it became really noticeable (dark brown hair with bright silver and platinum greys), my children saw me take my hair down (I always have it tied up and out of my face) to brush it and said "WOW mommy! Your hair is so pretty, it looks like star light!" BEST. COMPLIMENT. EVER!
Awww🥺 so cute😍🥰
I had 28 weeks of chemo and when my hair finally started to grow back, it was first white and then changed to silver with streaks of my natural dark brown. Initially horrified, I then started to love it. The more I was told to go and dye it ‘normal’ the more I defended my love for it. Your hair is ethereal, truly Goddess-like and you are stunningly beautiful. Normal IS boring.
Thanks for this 🥰 My post-cancer hair is very different in color than my pre-cancer hair too 😄 And while my current silver & strawberry-blond is very different than the coppery ginger I had all my life prior to my BC, I've definitely grown to love it dearly & now wouldn't dream of dyeing it either 🥰
my grandmas stick straight, blonde hair came back curly, and about half silver, half dark brown after chemo, it was *gorgeous*, I was a little heartbroken when she started dying it blonde and straightening it, though as an adult, I understand she was hoping to get as close to her formerly healthy self as she could.
My grandpa had a full head of white hair by 22, not gray, but snowy WHITE. That’s how I’ve always known him. I started getting gray hair years ago, and the only thing that keeps me calm about it is *hoping* my hair will just turn all white like my grandpas and I’ll be a cute angel looking princess for the rest of my life without bleach lmao
Awesome I'll be a manly samurai 15 rn with a lot of strands white hair
Same my grandpa had full head of white hair in early 20s and I think I am following in his footsteps lmao.
Ur comment are so cute! 😆🌻
My great nan was the same, but it was a result of the mustard gas used in ww2
Could that be some kind of vitiligo?
Nature knew you would go grandma core and decided to give you a head start
Grandma core. Finally. A name for what I am going for. Embracing my inner granny and aiming for the woman who owned tweety bird. ❤️
@@susanrobertson984 We love a good grandma core babe! This whole “only young is beautiful” shot our society has going on is dumb. And while you still look young I do know you're going to age beautifully ❤️
Haha! Got a HEAD start!😂
"You're not even a real teenager if you don't have at least one cringy haircut" I, a 16 year old, hears the day after she decides to cut her own hair
I don't think that as a teen i ever cut my hair at a salon - always at home. usually myself. it wasn't always bad ;p
Cutting your own hair is always your worst cut. But it'll grow back. I chopped mine all off at 20ish and it made me look like my brother which... No
I let my step sister who was in beauty school cut my hair for practice 😂 everyone thought I was a boy and my mom was so angry.
I cut these awful curtain bangs once when I was thirteen and bored on a Sunday once - took two years to grow them out
@@Nakia11798 it will grow back but tge growth faze lasts 2 to 6 or 7 years. I cut my hair because there was this strand that annoyed me, so for some reason I cut it, panicked, and cut some more almost making 1 sudd bang lol. I tuck it behind my ears to hide it.
One girl in my early 30s friend group has two white streaks in her hair. One girl asked the guys in our group what they thought of it and was outraged when they said it was sexy. She demanded to know why and tried to convince them it wasn't. I thought it said a lot about her own insecurity, but was also interesting to hear the male perspective.
Wow... Would she react that way whenever people regardless of gender say that graying hair/visably aging looks good/sexy/charming/smart etc on men, I wonder? Or would she rather prefer all guys want unequal beauty standards ONLY? That women have to be pressured to pay MUCH MORE of their money, work, time, mental health/anxiety striving MUCH HARDER than men to look as young as possible, dying every gray hair throughout several decades? Would she prefer those old, opressive, unequal beauty standards for men vs women never changed for the better -for her own gender?! She must have been EXTREMELY jealous to go on like a basic bimbo 12-year old, I think.. That story reminds me mostly of some schoolgirls in my class at that tender/sexually insecure age between childhood and teens.. It would be the smartest thing, come to think of it, to dye silver/white streaks in ones hair from an early age -ESPECIALLY as a girl/woman in a culture that capitalizes on girls/women being insecure, anxious and mentally ill about not looking young enough (or not enough of whatever beauty standard). You can get smart with what you spend your money on even if you lack the genes for going gray gradually from a very early age.. Because when your hair starts to go gray naturally, you are already used to it looking that way and no big deal... Saves LOADS of your mental health.
By age 18 I knew that my hair was in a race to determine whether I would first go grey or bald.
Judging by your picture I assume baldness won?
@@camo770 Well, it may depend on how you determine the terms of victory. Because, though you might not believe it from this photo, I do still,every once in a while, need to get my hair cut.
@@petersmall1574 well I would determine it as whatever takes over your head first. In the end baldness will win regardless because that means grey hairs fall out
@@camo770 grey won the battle but bald won the war
Somehow i was not expecting this comment to go as it did and i was laughing so much by the time i was through reading! Was a wonderful comment! 😂
As a ginger, I can relate. It is staggering the amount of people that insist on knowing what dye products I use (uh, none) and then proceed to threaten to cut off my hair to make a wig out of it. 🙅♀️🤷♀️
😱 that's like a horror movie
That’s kind of (a lot) rude! I wonder how they’d like it if someone said something like that to them?!
Hahaha! 💜
How awfully rude! I even get snappy when people touch my hair, let alone threaten to cut it. Some people can be so very self-unaware 🙄🙄🙄
@@PrettyShepherd I think the idea behind it is complimentary: they are saying "your hair is so pretty that I want it for myself"
My mum's best friend's hair turned pure white when she was still a teen. The same happened to her mother. Generally it was girl in every generation of her maternal family. I always knew her as a white-haired extrovert who was very attractive. I didn't even realize her hair colour was strange. She was very cool and artistic.
Young people going grey isn't as uncommon as so many believe: my sister has had grey interspersed in her dark brown hair since the age of three or four. I think that it's pretty cool that you've embraced your greys and that author was correct: your hair sparkles like silver!
A weird little thing about me also pertains to my hair: I'm a natural redhead with blue eyes - apparently this is a rare combination!
My mom also has red hair and blue eyes. It's a beautiful and stunning combination. Embrace it. ❤💙
So am I! People ask me if my hair really is red 😐 my blue eyes and red hair separate me from my family because my dad and brother are blondes, and my mom is a brunette.
One of my best friends has natural red hair too and BRIGHT blue eyes... She's so beautiful, what a lovely combination!
I didn’t know that was uncommon? My niece has beautiful red hair (I’m jealous) and blue eyes aswell
I am also a red hair. But my eyes are green. Red and blue is a pretty combination!
I am 24 now and I have some greys since 2 years ago.
Do redhairs get greys earlier?
Nobody in my family got greys till they were older than 40.
But me at 24 I can already see some.
Could it be related to redhairs having less melaline?
I don't drink I don't smoke and I eat super healthy.
I dnt know why I have that when both of my parents and granparents didnt have it till they were 20 years older than me at least
My hair started turning when I was 15. Its only been since seeing your lovely hair that I decided to embrace my own. Thank you!
Good on you! It is beautiful over a young face. See 18th Century fashion!
I'm truly, genuinely glad I've inspired you! ❤️
mine started turning grey at 12 or 13. my dad got grey hair in high school
When I was little I had a summer school teacher who had a silver strand of hair in her hair (she was about mid 20s), and when one of the kids mentioned it, she talked about how all of the other women in her family's hair turned silver in their early 20's and how she was quite sad because she really wanted her hair to turn all silvery like all of her family's and it hadn't yet. She was very fond of their hair and said their hair was so beautiful to her and she wished for it so badly. (Im not describing the way she described it as well but she really did seem like it was one of the prettiest things to her, and its tiring that so many people see silvery grey hair as a bad thing when really its not. I mean it's freaking silver! It is really pretty!)
You ARE a silver-haired fairy ❤ I will never forget a group of kids who told me I had a witches nose as a child...my mother responded by helping me make a list of all the amazing "witch" characters in all the books I had read. I quite like my nose now, and am doing my best everyday to become one of those powerful, magical, wonderful ladies I used to read about. Society never gets to set the standard!
That is amazing! Grade A pro parenting tip right there! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Wow your mom is amazing! That's literally the best way to deal with such a thing, I'm so glad you found such a good thing in such a terrible thing as bullying.
Always be proud of who you are!
Same "witch nose problem" here lol now that I am 22 I could never imagine myself with another nose..but until a couple of years ago it was so difficult to accept it
My mom has always told me "Every nose is perfect for its face" and I finally understood I should be happy to be the witch I am
🧙♀️💕
I always wanted a straight nose but now I love mine bc it’s my nose and it looks great on me so I felt this to another level. Also who wouldn’t want to be a witch bc I’d love to have magic
@@mariajk975 exactly! You're perfect how ever you are.
I'm 30, but look 20, and occasionally someone will lean in and go "ooh! Grey hair!" And I'm like, "ooh, it's been there for a decade!" I found my first grey hair at 20, and it was exciting! And I have no intention of dying it! I like my silver threads!
'I was a weird kid, I was a weird teenager, and I'm weird even now...' lol awesome quote!
As a redhead I am very aware that I can’t go grey; I’ll go white. I’ll be able to live my full the-witch-who-lives-next-door lifestyle 😂
Jealous! There is a woman in my town with the most gorgeous white hair. Most people associate going gray with balding, but her hair is so thick and luscious. If my gray ever takes over, I will definitely do what I can to urge the color towards white.
I'm pretty sure I'll go completely white, too, and I'm thrilled! I haven't found any white hairs on my head, yet, but I do have a couple of white eyebrow hairs. They are snow white. I take a lot after my grandmother and she has snow white hair as well. I'm so happy that it looks like that will be my future :)
My hair is super strange bc it's visibly brown, but there are natural red highlights in there so I get a mix of silver and white.
Redheads can go gray though?
@@first782 No.
I was completely “silver-haired” by the time I was 25 but I haven’t yet embraced “going natural” and I’m now 50. You and your hair are STUNNING!!
I’m 43 . And the way I look at it ... think of all of those that never made it to get their grey.
Do you think it is related to a vitamine deficency or something?
I am 24 and I have some small grey hair.
Very little but visible.
Both of my parents didnt had even one grey hair till they were over 40.
So it cant be genetic.
How come I have that? I wonder if my health is ok. I exercise I eat healthy I dont drink... the only thing I may overdo is cofee, but thats it
@@YFL.111It is genetic. We don’t only show up with a binary on/off of our parents’ traits. It’s DNA recombinations. Much more varied and complex.
@@shamelesshussy that is so interesting! My parents also they have very straight hair and dark and I have redish curly hair. None in my family not even my grandparents have hair as curly as mine.
I think indeed genetics are a mistirious thing, I had no idea that DNA can make a new trait or combination when its mixed with somebody elses dna
My mom actually went grey at around the same age, in much the same way. Her father died suddenly when she was a young teen, so perhaps there's some truth to your theory. When I was young, she used to wear it in a plait that reached long down her back. Nowadays, I'm growing my hair out and I want to end up with it at least as long as I remember hers. (She used to allow me to cling to it in the swimming pool as she'd tug me around in the water!) So far it's almost down to my butt... No greys for me yet though!
I've started getting some white hair in highschool, though it still has to go full grey like you. I'm not sure if it's stress-induced or natural, not gonna lie.
Otherwise, I am short and babyfaced so I have a case of "keeps getting mistaken for a 16yo at 28". It used to be embarrassing, but now I fully embrace it because people tend to find me adorable, and I combine it with a Late Edwardian inspired clothing style for added confusion. As a consequence, I am highly successful with both kids and old people, because I look like I escaped a novel or a comics/remind them of a late family member. Mighty useful when you're a librarian. 🤓👌(said old people were ready to run around town with a petition for the public library to keep me, when it had been announced that I'd be laid off)
Your hair always looks so pretty, I think my “weird thing” that happened was I was a secondary school teacher and I have tattoos on my lower legs that the kids would often end up seeing through my tights and an industrial piercing in my ear and so many times the kids would ask if I knew I had something on my leg ( to which my reply was often “so that’s what they were doing when I was sat for 6 hours in lots of pain, I thought they were painting my nails!” 😂) or one of the most common was “Miss do you know you have a bar through your ear?” So I would come up with elaborate stories that some shot an arrow on a medieval battlement and it went through my ear and I decided to keep it! 😂😂😂😂
Haha! Omg. Thanks for sharing! I also loved (slightly) scaring kids with weird made-up stories 😂😂 Glad I'm not the only one getting a laugh out of it 😁
@@PrettyShepherd It's the best making up little stories and even funnier when they believe them! 🤣🤣🤣
Omg! long time no see lol
@@andizana oh my days hey Andi!
Stupid answers to stupid questions. That’s pretty smart
I started getting grey hair when I was 12 or 13. Within a year almost my entire bang was silver and I have raven colored hair. While growing up it looked so out of place to me. It seemed unfair that everyone else started getting boobs during puberty while I got grey hair. Now I rock it. Both boobs and grey hair haha. I started letting it grow out a little over a year ago and it makes for a great contrast against the rest of my hair. I’ve grown to love and appreciate it. It even looked beautiful in my wedding pictures
Tbh I would love to see the pictures.
Omg I imagine that your hair is fayyah 🖤
Wow, it sounds really freaking cool actually
Anna? Is that u?
It’s like that girl from the xmen movie with just the grey bangs and the rest was fine lol
I'm blonde (my whole family on my dad's side is - we look like we walked straight out of an IKEA catalogue - doesn't help that we're also Swedish) but the older I've gotten, the more individual black hairs (my momma has dark brown hair, with parts that are black). At first I was like "what is this? a black hair?", started pulling it and realized, it's attached to my head! Now I have about 30 of them, spread all over my skalp and also have found some brown hair to mix it up and people think I have died my hair with highlights, as I literally now have everything from black to platin blonde on my head. In the winter (when we don't have ANY sunshine for months - yepp that's how far up North I am) it turns a grey-ish dirty blonde, but low and behold when the sun return, those lighter hairs sun bleach within a week or two, making it look like I'm re-dying my hair every few days, because they keep chaning. Now my friends (so people who see my hair without a hat) know that it's my natural hair, but sometimes some people still ask my, why I dye my hair so often and if I'm not worried that it will fall out (I haven't dyed my hair in years btw haha)
Hair is so fascinating :) My mum has dark blonde and my dad has red hair. So mine is a weard mixture , of being dark blonde at the top but further down (I think due the sun) it gets red :D
Hello silver sister! I am so glad to have found your channel. I relate to your story so much. I started going grey in middle school too! By high school had a few streaks and when I hit 25, I was already more than salt and pepper. I did dye my hair and it took about two years of no dying to grow it out shoulder length. It’s a beautiful silver color, and it got more compliments than any other color I have dyed it. Sadly, I got a wild hair in quarantine and dyed it hunter green. I’m starting the growing out process again because I miss my silver so much. But the hunter green has faded to a beautiful mint green and blends beautifully with my silver roots. It looks intentional. My stylist thinks it will turn completely white by the time I’m 40 which would be awesome. I’m 34 right now. It is nice to find someone else who went grey so early.
I am in the same exact boat and it's so refreshing to know I'm not alone! I'm 37 now and 80% grey/white. It took me many years but I really love it now! ❤
When I found my first grey hair at 26 I was actually ecstatic. I've been suffering from clinical depression and other mental health stuff since I was a teenager, so just seeing proof, that I made it this far, 'survived' for this long, was just mind baffeling to me. And I think I will never dye my hair again because of this experience
@Willow Tree thank you so much :)
Aww! That's such a cool way to look at it! Any advice for someone currently experiencing depression? (Aka slowly losing my mind in a pile of existentialism 🙃)
@@emilyfogerty6438 god, I wish I knew a perfect solution...
For my specific case (diagnosed major depressive disorder for 10 years which got re-diagnosed 3 years ago to what I actually have: bipolar type2, borderline tendencies and general emotional instability)
it's all about finding balance in my life. If I push myself to hard when I'm feeling amazing, I'm halfway down the depression vortex sooner or later😂.
So I really cannot give you good advice, but I am on medication and go to two different therapies once a week and that helps a lot😅
Edit on existentialism: be active, make things with your own hands, try to do stuff even If it seems irrelevant. Find the beauty in the moment, go into nature, find meaning in helping others, talk to people how they feel and tell them about how you feel;
even if we are void of meaning in this great cosmos, we still are here and have experiences, love people and experience emotions. That could never be void of meaning for us.
for me it helped alot.
I can relate to the reactions! I have Heterochromia which means my eyes are different colors but since they are green and brown, the difference is not extremely visible unless you look me in the eyes in a well-lit room. I really like it when I have a conversation with someone new, then they suddenly stop mid-sentence, look from one eye to the other and then say "You have different eye colors? Did you know?!?!" and I always answer something like "No way! I've been avoiding mirrors for the past 20+ years!!!". I just love these moments so much xD
@Rachel Droddy The right one :)
The left is green like my mom's.
Me too, but mine is central heterochromia so the color is mixed. I used to be ashamed with that since my childhood friends always told me that it isn't normal, i'm weird etc. Well, grown up as Asian, it's really hard to go and when people look at my eyes they were freaked out. I'm glad to see someone who had heterochromia too, i just feel i ain't so lonely
@@alexastephanie482 Honestly, I’ve always been so jealous of people that has heterochromia. I think it’s so unique and crazy beautiful!! I have grey-blue eyes and always wanted brown eyes. I think we just always want what we can’t have 😅 I wanted to have heterochromia even more than brown when I first saw someone that had that. It always looks so stunning if you ask me. So I am sure your eyes are very pretty ✨💜
@Rachel Droddy
It's pretty similar to my situation. My mom has the most amazing turquoise eyes with pitch black eyelashes around them. That's what my left eye looks like also, and the right one is almost black, so my condition is very much visible from the distance. I was hoping my kids would have those husky - turquoise eyes, but no such luck. Of course they are the most beautiful kids with 4 brown eyes 😅
Lol I feel you. I have partial heterochromia which means both my eyes are two different colors. The outside of my irises is grey/blue and the inside around my pupils is golden brown and the middle is a gradient between the two making my eyes look greenish. Especially when I'm in sunlight people get very shocked when they see my odd eye color. A lot of people get confused trying to figure out what color my eyes are lol. I've been told a lot that my eyes are very striking
I LOVE your hair, it's stunning! And what he said about you being "A silver haired fairy" was probably the he sweetest thing I've ever heard someone say about grey!
I'm surprised how many young people on here have started to turn grey. I started when I was about 16 or 17, now I'm 28. My brother also started in his teens but when we moved away from our Dad and the awful stress he caused my brother's hair went back to normal. So weird. Mine however has continued to go silvery grey, between many overly stressful years on the ranch with my Dad and then with my ex Husband I think that was the contributing factor for me. I have dark Auburn/brown so it's kind of contrasting. Most of mine is in the sides and back so doesn't show when my hair is down but rather when it's up. Which is how I have it mostly to protect it, but I have grey hairs that are long and go through the whole length of my waist length hair. I love how long yours is too! I hate how people think they should tell me I need to dye it or lop off all my hair. I mean I've had long hair my whole life, it's thick has red tints and had silvery hairs, I love my hair and it's pretty rude and bold of people to think they know best for it. I do find it a little weird though that my grey's are a completely different consistentsy that the colored. I think you mentioned that in another video.
I decided when I was very young that when my hair starts going grey I'm going to embrace it.
My parents have always dyed their grey hair, but I'd rather just embrace it.
i once met a young mother with gray hair in the train on my way to school and i swear she was the most beautiful woman i‘ve ever seen.
Aw
Is that Watanuki?
If my hair went grey like that I'll be having pastel dyed hair forever. No need for hair bleach
exactly!
It's too dark for pastel hair.. you'd still needs bleach it just not as much as some others
There are some grey hair that are resistant to dyes akxkwlxka u still have to bleach em :((
Usually gray/white hair is actually really resilient to dyes and bleach doesn’t just make it easier for dye just because it’s lighter it’s actually cause it gives the hair a kind of grit and works as a primer so people with natural blonde hair might have dye not stick as well as someone with bleached hair and the color may not last as long
I found my first grey hair when I was 14 or 15, I’m 21 now and I’m starting to get some grey streaks. I’ve never met anyone who started going grey as early as me so it’s nice to find someone else who has it and embraces it
This is literally my story... I have never heard of anyone else experiencing this so similarly to me. This is so encouraging
It’s great that there are people normalising grey hair. People get shocked to see young people with gray hair but that’s when it starts to happen 🤷🏻♀️
Right, many people don't realize it's normal to have some visible whites already at 30 or before, because so many women dye it since their 20's or even before.
I'm 27 and don't have any grey yet, but I've never dyed my hair and don't intend to.
My parents didn't start going grey until their 40s, and now in their 50s they still have some dark hair left.
I think natural grey is beautiful.
My aunt is 65 and still dyes her hair brown,she has started to use a lighter brown though. I am 42, and keep my hair natural. I have more greys visible then she has. I do have blonde hair, so it basically just looks lighter than before when the grey mix with the blonde, and I like how it looks.
I have this friend and she went grey when she was 9
Age twenty-six for me. Several greys right in my main part, noticed as I was getting ready to go on stage. :0)
I love your natural hair. I can't wait to do gray, family been pointing it out lol.yass, Silver hair fairy. Prefect for you. I like it when you where in pigtails.
Awesome! Go for it! ✨
Whenever i watch your videos, im always smiling by myself! Makes me feel happy for no reason 😄🌻
My oldest sister started getting grey hair around 12 also...she's 48 and I would imagine her hair would look like yours if she didn't dye it....I think you are very pretty and I love that you don't care what others think.
Society always put pressure on female to look a certain way. Mostly to oppress and to sell beauty products. Cool of you to follow your heart and reveal your true uniqueness and beauty 💗❤💖💖💖
Thanks! I couldn't do it any other way! ☺️🌿
Or needing to wear flattering cloths that in no way could be interpreted as old fashioned.
Thank you very much, I like high necklines and long skirts to cover up. If someone else feels great showing skin that is great for them, but I do not like it and I am not looking for company so get lost with the "one" argument ever: "but how will you get a man, or at least woman, if you do not show of!"
Really, I do not understand the need for looking sexy, when I am asexual. I understand it in others, but I have no use for it, so why do people pressure me there . . .
Ok stop. There is a huge pressure on everyone, male/female/you name it, in terms of societal pressures, how to look, how to act, how your mental health should be, your income, from your status and to how you should live your life. It’s not just one group. Everyone gets it in one form or another and no one group has it worse than the other for a variety of reasons.
The choice to conform to these standards is up to the individual. I know I’m certainly not conforming to any of them. Wear what you want. You don’t want to wear makeup? Don’t. Want to wear something most folks don’t find flattering? Do it because you want to. Do what makes you happy, not what you think others might be happy with (unless you are committing actual crimes.. then please don’t do that).
I just found my first couple grey hairs recently (29) and honestly I’d love it if it went the same way as PrettyShepherd’s hair. I personally find it beautiful! Definitely attributing it to the stresses this year above and beyond covid. This year has just been one series of bad events, death, illness, mental health, physical injury, crippling financial destitution and misfortune. Hopefully next year isn’t as bad? But I’ve probably just jinxed myself there.. still a few weeks left in the year. Would be neat if my hair did have a sort of symbolic chrysalis transformation in response. Maybe not a good thing but a nice souvenir at least, got to find some sort of humour this year after all?
@@sierralarars well, just because one aknowlages one group has a problem, does not mean you deny that others have it too and while there is a lot of hidden pressure on men to, the main target for fashion and beauty stuff are women
@ChoppedBlade than you know different men than I do
I would totally embrace it. Your hair is beautiful so it makes sense it’s natural. Natural usually suits people best.
I will not go gray pretty, my natural color will totaly turn it brassy and wierd . . . Sadly, I like the iron and silber tones some people get
@@Call-me-Al usually they wrote, not always
@@SingingSealRiana thanks! I dun goofed, wasn't awake enough when I read it.
@@Call-me-Al hihihi, I know that feeling ^^
@@SingingSealRiana You can always use a purple shampoo to get rid of the yellow if You feel the need for that
Genuinely jealous of your hair color! Silver is my favorite color, and I absolutely love the shimmer and variation in your hair. Absolutely gorgeous!
I found my first grey when I was 15 years old, and started dyeing my hair to cover it in my early 30s. I stopped coloring 8 years ago and embrace my gray. I'm 64 now and don't bend to all that color and cutting like so many women my age. My hair is past my shoulders, and I strive to grow it even longer. Your hair is very pretty. I think you look like Drew Barrymore.
My mom is the same age as you and I told her, her grey hair is beautiful. I also told her young people are bleaching their hair to get the grey look. Happy to say she has embraced the grey
She does look a little like Drew Barrymore, who is also pretty.
Your hair is so beautiful ! Mine started to get grey at 7 and I'm only starting to embrace it (at 20) !
You're really are a silver fairy 💫🧚♀️
7?? Wow!
Dear Silver-Haired Fairy, you have inspired this 50 year old more than you can ever know. You champ 💖 🧚🏼
I had people accuse me of getting breast implants in high school. What doctor would let a 14 year old get implants?
the audacity of some people, damn
Some people are insane 🤦🏻♀️
What jerks.
I was accused of stuffing my bra. Girls be jealous.
Now I'm jealous that they can buy bras under $100
I was just called "Pamela Anderson", and a lot others silly things. No Wonder I lived in large T-shirts and hoodies ...
The more of your videos I watch the more I love your soul!! Youre such a great role model for young and old alike
Stated graying at 8 and was completely snow white by 35. I love it people often ask me if my kids are my grandbabies. 🙄 As a southern transplant living in Washington I just smile and say Well bless your heart. 😁
I just had to tell you how much I love this comment. ❤ 😊
As someone who has dyed their hair several colors over the years, I told myself I was going to stop when I started going grey. Silver hair has always been so stunning to me. Well...I'm 34, and I found my first *white* hair this week. I guess I'm putting away the dye for good
Your hair is every goal of mine 🤩 Heathy, thick, impossibly long, and so beautifully silver gray 💖 I don’t know why, but I just love the way it looks, and I’ve been excited about my hair turning since I was a kid. I recently found my first gray hairs and I am so excited! 🤍
You make me feel much much better about my increasing greys after a very stressful 2020 :) Thank you for being INSPIRING!!
Silver/grey hair on younger people looks so magical and pretty
Something I’ve had to slowly embrace was my acne. I’ve had acne since I was ten. Nothing I used could get rid of it. I would have periods of furious acne and periods where I’d only get two or three bad pimples, but never fully gone. My face is so covered in acne scars and dark spots, I can’t cover it with makeup. I never really liked makeup anyway since I could never get a smooth appearance. I’m 23 now still with acne, but I don’t bother covering it up.
The one comment I remember someone making about it was senior year in high school. My guy friend said my acne scars on my forehead and cheeks reminded him of cheetah spots and that they looked cool. He was a weirdo though, so we both just laughed.
Yo I’m also 23 with terrible scarring because of acne! I still have it though, the damn cystic ones that hurt like a mf 😔 what has helped me build confidence is having a nice skin care routine, it makes me feel like I’m taking care of myself, everybody around me always tells me I have acne and terrible scars, I wish I had friends like yours 😔 I even had a friend tell me my acne was very noticeable 😔
Same :/ I've tried everything to get rid of them but I'm 25 and still have acne x.x
have you tried eliminating all dairy products from your diet? when i did, it dramatically improved my acne
i also noticed that nuts and also dark chocolate worsened my acne
and the key to not get more breakouts was to never use a towel for my face, let the face air dry or use reusable facial pads using a clear one everytime i wipe my face
@@FruityHachi And for me sugar has been the major reason to why my skin gets clogged up! Cant stay away from sugars tho 🙈😇
@@IfYouMeetAWolf yeah white sugar
sugars in fruit and grains don’t clog up my pores, not sure about cane sugar/coconut sugar, would have to test this
Girl, I love your clothes! Your fashion slays! Keep being your fierce, confident, classy self!
Your hair is beautiful! My mom started going grey when she was 16 and her hair is white now! She can easily semi-dye it rainbow colors and I'm so jealous. I can't wait to go grey 🤍
I'm 16 and my hair changes colour over the years
Recently I found all my hair was turning white
And I was super nervous about it
But this made me feel more proud of it
You lucky bastard :'( White hair is so incredibly beautiful and I am 100% sure it looks gorgeous on you✨
I think that is so cool!
Just Imagine how much money people have to pay to get AND maintain the beautyful haircolor your body is creating specialy for you!!! 💕 Silver/White Hair is beautyful at every age.... it's a gift💝
I lowkey want white hair ;-;
@@wafflesthearttoad6916 right lol I dye my hair bc I love colorful hair but my hair is naturally very dark brown so the only way to have color even show up on my hair is to bleach it :( having natural white hair would be amazing
About the “was it enough stress to cause my hair to Grey” the body is a weird thing, in that it reacts to stress in such different ways, even if you yourself aren’t perceiving it as “enough stress”. So there is a chance that the stress could have potentially contributed to the greying. Doesn’t make it any less beautiful though
Stress has unbelievable power. I think I got fibromyalgia (which is a chronic illness) from stress possibly, because it's not genetic for me (at the age of 21 too). Still have dark blonde hair though , no grays 😂 rather have gray hair than the fibro though lol.
My bf has vitiligo and stress definitely contributes to getting new spots. His brother was seriously injured when he was little and because of that stressful moment my mom in law developed a ton of spots back then.
Why does hair getting grey if you had too much stress?
just found your video and it's simply enchanting!YOU'RE AMAZING!
Oh my goodness, WOW you have the MOST GORGEOUS grey hair!!! Your streaks are so striking!!!
I remember as a pre-teen having a friend whose mother was completely gray and I did find it so stylish. I had my first grey hair 5 years ago and I almost open a bottle of champagne to celebrate it.
How awesome! Absolutely belated Cheers! 😁🍾🥂
Wow! I'm really amazed to learn that there are so many who went gray in their teen years!
My sis had her first gray at 18, me at 15. We both inherited the condition from our grandma. Never knew anyone else who started this young.
Thank you for making this video and bringing us together! ❤
Let's rock, Silver-Fairies of the World! :)
Same I'm 18 and I naturally have dark brown hair with some Grey hair strands and it looks really cool if you ask me😅 especially in summer kinda looks like I have tinsel in my hair
I found my first white hair at 16, and it was quite long so it must've been growing for a few years. I'm 23 now and have a handful of them, but they're mostly unnoticeable. I had a great aunt who had a full grey streak by the time she was 16, so perhaps it's genetic.
Your hair AND personality is beautiful! I'm so glad I found your channel today!
yeah she is nicebut its also cringe to say " i was weird child, weird teenager etc" i am weird. usually ppl who sayig this aint weird.. that was a bit turn off.
The lady who taught me to care for horses was about 20 and she had white hair (she went grey at 16). I always think of her when you speak of your grey hair :)
My mother cried when she was cutting my hair at 13 and saw grey. My great aunt was completely white haired by age 16, but my grey has been slower. I dyed my hair until i lost it from chemo. It grew back very different, less grey, and curly. Its grey again now, but i embrace it.
Okay, being told you're a silver-haired fairy by an artist who inspired something you love is like, the best sort of compliment and I'm so glad you were able to meet him in person!
I am absolutely envious of your beautiful grey hair. You look so classy and glamorous.
In lockdown I've decided to grow out my dyed hair, and I've found out I'm pretty grey! I'm only 23 so by 30 I'll probably look like you! And I'm so excited! Grey hair is beautiful, can't wait to join you in the grey hair club 😄
I am 15, some parts of my hair are gray. It started when I was ten. I hated it, I used to hide it, but now I like and embrace it. I cut my hair short (it was a literal buzz cut) a few month ago, it is now impossible to hide it, so I have no choice but to accept it. Seeing others embrace their differences makes me confident in myself.
Looking ageless is a good thing ☺️
Oh, girl, I'm in love with you! 😊 Your channel is so fun, interesting, positive. It has amazing vibes! You're a wonderful creator!
thanks for sharing! It is very inspiring and reassuring for a lot of us who need some courage !
I started going grey when I was about 14. I started dying my hair with henna which gave me blondish red highlights in my brownish black hair. I'm glad I stuck with henna at that age.
Do you still use henna?
It's so interesting to hear/see how different everyone's hair is. My mom's bangs started to go grey when she was in her late 20s. She dyed her hair for a long time. In her 50s she stopped colouring her hair (basically out of laziness) and she was amazed that still only her bangs are grey. Over the last years it got a little bit more, but it's still completely silver bangs (well she's not actually having bangs, but the hair growing in the area you would cut shorter for bangs. I'm not a native speaker, so I don't know how to describe it better) and just some grey hair between the rest.
You aren't a native speaker??? Your English is better than most teens my son hangs out with! In fact I haven't a clue what else to call it either..... I know the crown...... And the nap of the neck.... Is it just the hair line maybe???? I think bangs area is the best i have as well. Maybe a hairdresser will chime in and give us the technical name! 😇💖
I think it us called the money pieces but correct me if im wrong :)
You're awesome. Love your quirkiness and realness. Beautiful
Your personality is so bright! I love you and don't know you 🖤 We are around the age, I have lived on a farm my whole life, my hair is not as long as yours but it grows fast so I have new hairs goals thanks to you! Also my Mum started to gray at 18. I showed her your video and she thinks you are lovely😺
Edit your singing was very lovely also💐
My grandmother went grey as a 10 year old, and my mother has been dyeing her hair since she was 13 discovered grey in her late twenties, I’m just waiting for my turn. It’s like hot potato, I don’t know when I will be it, but I know it’s coming soon and the suspense is killing me.
Your hair is beautiful! I’ve been starting to go gray recently at 25-26, and I’m looking forward to seeing the changes. Silver hair is magical!
This is the second one of your vids I watched, and I didn't notice your hair being grey in the first one. Not until I saw the title of this one. I love your hair though, and the updo! 😍
Love that you have totally made your silver hair your own! It's gorgeous!! I started seeing white hairs in my head in my 20s. I went through this really horrible tragic situation that has caused me ptsd that I go to therapy for, but it may have also triggered the white hairs. No one really knows. I'm not ready to embrace them yet, so I do go to a salon and dye my hair every 4 to 5 weeks. Although, I told my friend that does my hair that when the white hairs get too out of control to dye that I want to just bleach it all and do a pink/purple ombre unicorn hair look. :-)
I love how long and pretty your hair is!
Thank you! 🌿
i started to have grey hair when i was around 11.
and my classmates would always make a big deal about it.
You look like a QUEEN!!!!👏🏼👏🏼🖤
I'm so glad I randomly found this channel! I started going gray when I was 12 because of genetics. It's nice to know I am not alone in the world going gray at such a young age. I am currently embracing it but I do have a love/hate relationship with my grays. I have also heard the same exact comments about my gray hair.
I started going grey at the age of 17 and I was horrified, I immediately reached for the hair dye. I finally embraced my grey hair 5 years ago. I shaved off all of my dyed locks, just to see what I looked like with my natural colour. I. LOVE. IT!!!
Now I rock my tinsel tresses.
I think your hair and eyes color look fabulous together! ^^
@@coralie288 thank you.
My grandma went white instead of grey and embraced it so well. She would always dye her hair at a professional to keep it white and she looked like the angel she was ❤
Oh wow! My white spots at the top of my head always appeared white to me, but this is an interesting explanation! (and yes, my name is Fawn, and I have white spots... lol)
Cheers! 😊
@Gold Glitter that's not true! My grandma has literal silver hair
Eventhough you posted this a year ago, I just found you and absolutely love your style and sense of humor! I have been bing watching for 2 hours now!! Since the virus in 2020, my son & I have been growing out our hair to donate. But now seeing yours, I don't want to cut it!!! Thank you for being your courageous self and keep up videos!!! Blessings from KS!💕
You seem like such a confidant person, and I love how you embrace your looks, it brings me to tears. I think that when someone embraces their appearance, it makes them even more beautiful. You asked if there was a particular feature that we are proud of. I struggled at first to find a good answer, but I eventually came to my eye color. My eyes are such a dark blue that people don't realize they're blue at first in normal or dark lighting, especially in photos. I think that's pretty cool.
I hope to love my hair as much as you love yours one day. I don't really like my hair color too much even though it is also a very unique color (not quite blonde, not quite truly red). It's not a very bright color, it won't pick a side, agh! Sometimes this bums me out but I'm afraid to dye it so I must learn to live with it! It has a small pale blonde streak in the back though, which I really like. I'm still learning to love my appearance, it's a journey... a long journey... but I'll get there some day.
"oh hi, did i tell you about the time i was told my hair is a glitch in the matrix?" hahaha!!
My hair is curly, frizzy and fragile (and now at the age of 28 going grey) but it's not super curly like some thick haired goddesses. It's fairly thin. I've fought the frizz and still get self conscious about it. Finding unique people such as yourself helps though :)
I wish more curly haired people understood how important the cut of one's hair is for it to look good.
Also I wish less hairdressers would blowdry my curly hair (without diffuser) while scrunching it with mousse saying "this will really bring out your curls!" and then let me leave looking like a limp poodle.
Thanks for sharing! I also have an odd relationship with hairdressers that think they know best (when they often do not 😅)
Thank heavens my old hairdresser always asked how I wanted my hair dyed/cut/parted/styled today even though I have been using her services for years)
Coconut oil is amazing for curly hair.
@@captainfrosty31 It depends on the type of hair. Actually, coconut oil can cause hair loss:)
I'm currently using coconut oil on my hair and it's working for me but if your hair is thin, maybe go for a lesser heavy oil, like argan oil? I think
@@marshmallowcat7062 I've never heard that as I discovered coconut oil when I had alopecia. A Caribbean holiday guide said they use it out there to cure childhood alopecia so I gave it ago and my hair all came back. I've used it since. Thick curly hair I have now.
What a sweet and funny person you are!
I have ridiculously sensitive skin, and I'm 34 and have the odd grey hair here and there. I don't see how I can find a dye that won't irritate my skin, so I might just have to embrace the greys when they do come. This video was very funny but also encouraging!
The thing I never understood, is we love silver jewellery, silver tableware, silver rims on teacups and silver glitter. Why don't we love silver hair? Coz quite frankly, if you forget the stigma associated, silver hair is so beautiful!
I couldn't agree more! Great point! ✨
I love your sense of humor! Also, i love your channel and hair styles! :)
I love your hair! I have always loved gray hair it makes my heart happy. You are beautiful!!!! 💗💗
I was thrilled to find your channel because of all your folklore-focused content (I’m a sucker for any type of folkloric culture), but finding this video just brought such warmth to my heart. Hair going silver (in some cases, completely white) by age 25 runs in my family, and it’s always been a bit of concern for me as I love my dark hair, but your positivity and love for it has helped ease my worry. You really are a silver-haired fairy ❤️ much love from America!
This is by far the most beautiful hair colour I have ever seen it really complements your fair skin and brown eyes ❤️😍
This is wonderful!!! I love your confidence!!! And you’re so funny!! I loved every minute of this vid!!😝❤🔥
Gray hair looks so good on you! Beautiful.
Oh man. I’m ACTUALLY JEALOUS. I’m 35 and have started getting some silver in my hair, but even as a child I couldn’t wait to go grey. Your hair is absolutely beautiful!!
I went gray at 13 also, much like you! I embraced the grey at 30 when it was a large streak at the forehead. My mother grayed at 15. Now I love my platinum hair.
love your sense of humor
Your hair looks absolutely lovely ✨
