  • Grey hair transition, 23 Months no dye. So I got a comment. A question.
    -" Why do you want to look old and worn out?"
    That made me think.
    Thank you for watching 💖

    I totally get how you feel. I went 2 yrs and a few months letting it go gray. Then I paid to finish it off to gray and then cut to style. Was not happy at all. Every time I looked in the mirror I didn't like what I saw. Not bc of the cut. The lady that helped me into grayish so to speak and cut my hair did a beautiful job. My hair was cut to just below the shoulder. But I still didn't like what I saw looking back at me. So coming up in the 3rd year I decided to color it. I'm 68 and I'm much happier at what I see looking back at me. And I'm the only one I'm trying to please. I'm not denying getting old if I color my hair. I was 65 when I started to embrace my gray hair phase. Many different opinions, many different reasons, many suggestions. I can only say...what makes you and you alone feel good about yourself...that's what you do and why you do it. God Bless.

      Thank you. I only redo my roots every month and a half or 2 months. In between I use the root spray. It works great in between coloring and lasts a couple of washes. Here's another little beauty. As you do your roots...you're creating lighter streaks through your hair. I love that. Look for the blessing 😉. Best Wishes.

      @@saffysaffy3239 If only lifting the face was as easy as dying the hair! Imagine that-just buy a box for $10 every month to keep the face lifted too! However I have found a way to do this with magnesium oil massage but sadly its too complicated to explain how to do-otherwise Id be shouting it from the rooftops cause I know how distressing aging is to many women and I just want to help. However they have created an anti aging pill but its not on the market yet. Look up David Sinclair. Or for something even more way out there, look up the Ellen Langer anti aging experiment.

    My growout is finished and I would never consider coloring it again! I enjoy the freedom and the natural highlights in my hair now, but most of all, I embrace my age and the woman I've become. The first time I tried to "let it grow" I re-coloured after 4 months. I look back on that now as a mistake. I was more concerned about "looks". Nothing compares to going back to 'natural' ! Don't base your decision on negative comments. I can't imagine.....23 months and re-coloring?! Of course whatever you decide will be ok for you. 😊Think wisely, not reactively.💛🙏

    Middle finger to anyone who makes a negative comment on your gray hair, which is a great color BTW! I can assure you that you would feel very disappointed in yourself the day after you dyed your hair again. Especially when those gray roots start showing. I found that with gray hair I had to adjust the colors of my clothing and tweak my makeup choices.

    Do not dye it you will regret it. Go get a new style or something. This will make you feel better about yourself . Rocking grey hair gives you confidence and your hair will be healthier. I have only stopped for two months dying my hair. And my sclap is only just starting to feel better. We are all getting old. No problem if people want to look younger. Why not just look like you. Be yourself. I don't care what anyone has to say . The bible says your grey hair is a crown. So I'm going to try and embrace mine. Good luck. I know so many want to stop dying there hair every two to three weeks. Well I've had enough of running to the shops for another box dye

Try to not give up, if you can...be strong..... We live in a society where women have to be eternally young... which is very silly.... I'm so pleased that ladies of All ages are embracing their natural hair colours ... Most men don't dye their hair .... I see men in there 30,s with grey hair.....

    I'm watching this three months too late.... just wanted to give you some encouragement on your grow out. I think it is normal to go through all of these stages as you grow out your natural colour. It could be a good thing to pause and consider what it means for you to feel 'old and worn out', and to see if you can find the beauty in yourself as an older woman. For what it is worth, I see your beauty. Your hair is so gorgeous - the length, the style is relaxed and casual, you look like a woman I'd love to sit down with and have some coffee. The colour also suits your skin tone. I'm also on this quest for my natural colour, and I definitely relate to what you are expressing here.

    I am in the UK and have been thinking of ditching the dye for a long time. I am now into the 4th month without colouring my hair and I keep wondering if I am starting to look old - I keep having a change of mind and then remember why I wanted to stop colouring my grey hair in the first place. That keeps me going. You are definitely NOT old and tired looking. To think you have come this far growing out the colour, it would be a shame to start colouring again just because someone made a negative comment. Obviously you need to do what you need to do for yourself but I hope you will decide to continue on your journey of letting your grey hair grow. Your hair is beautiful and so are you - don't believe anyone who tells you that you are "old and tired".

  • @Melian07

    As we naturally lose hair pigments either we can accept it and embrace our new natural color or try to fight an endless battle of covering it with dyes that never look quite natural - and the older you get and the more white hair you have the more difficult it gets and the more unnatural the dyes look... Which way do you want to go? I think if everyone keeps following the majority and noone dares to make a different choice the collective mindset will never change.

    I am almost eighty. My roots are a nice salt and pepper. I got the idea that I would dye my hair grey let it grow out. Found out that grey dye fades quickly and leaves a mass of brassy straw colored ends. So what to do? Now I am back to dyeing my hair grey or trying every purple mask out there. Found a woman on youtube that suggested adding a small aound of black dye and activator to shampoo and letting it sit for 10 to 15 minuets. It did tone the bras. I liked the darker tones.
    This has been an 18 month experiment. I just dyed my hair back to medium ash brown. Looks fine and I'm done with being consumed with about my hair. There is no one size fits all. If I was to do it again, I would get it cut short and let it grow out naturally. But for the time being, I'm burned out from thinking about my hair.

    What I would recommend is to stop and think about why you made the decision to go natural in the first place. Were you tired of having to dye your hair so often? It does take time and money do so. Sometimes when time goes by we forget the negative of things. The negatives of dying your hair won't change and once you dye it you're back to square one. I like the idea of maybe getting a trim of your pretty hair first then see how you feel. It does take time to grow out the grey that's true. I think for someone young like you it's a bold move. But as others have said it's a choice you're free to make. I wish you all the best.

    I think a haircut will freshen up the hair, I know the grow out can be long and frustrating, it took several yrs to do mine and I ended up cutting it- of course I went to a hacker 🤦🏻‍♀️. now it’s all good, Love my hair and it seems to change, it’s actually darker now lol- but I love the white parts. I just wish there were more of them. I have a more dark grey and whilte- salt and pepper. I do get lots of compliments on my hair. I truly think a hair style helps. Not just long but with a style to it. And don’t listen to those haters! It’s the stereo typing of grey hair. I had grey coming in, in my thirties. So yea, I am very glad not to have to deal with that dye anymore. I believe I was 53 when I finally let it go natural. And I have long hair. About mid back below the shoulders, but it’s in a butterfly cut- so some face shaping. Good luck stick with it! - p.s. if it gets to where your really not liking it, try some purple shampoo to lighten any white that has turned brownish and if that doesn’t work - well then you can always dye it again, 🤷🏽‍♀️. But at least you now know what it really looks like with your own color and I’m sure it’s saving you money 😉.

    It looks great! Have you heard of color analysis? Based on seasonal color? I would get that done. Your natural hair is the right color always. The colors we wear can have a strong effect on how we look. Nature doesn’t make mistakes when it comes to natural coloring. Getting a color analysis changed my life!

    Beautiful. Nice to see you are being real about it. What about to try different hair cut something shorter to shoulder length to see the change. I shaved my head 19 months ago and its interesting to see different lengths and how it really looks like through out the stages of growth. And yes your natural colour brings light out in you. Thank you for sharing ♥ You have beautiful face and trying new shoulder length hair cut with straightening your hair would look great and refreshed change with parting on the side. Give it a try it will grow fast and you will see how it really is one grey colour then 2 tones and explore with different colours clothing as well. Have fun with it. Inspired light ♥

    I grew out my grey for the last 3 years. Last Christmas I took a good look at myself and realised just how "old" I actually look. I am 58 and looked about 70++++. I googled older ladies in Europe, especially in Milan, to see what hairstyles they were sporting and not one of them had grey hair! Not one of them looked dowdy! The ones that I saw took a lot of pride and in how they dressed, how they wore make up, and how they dressed their hair. I decided to colour it and did so 2 weeks ago. I asked to go back to a warm chestnut but my hair dresser botched it and left me with a very intense reddish brown. HOWEVER it was a massive improvement to how I looked before. Now I have decided to never go back to grey and work on colouring my hair myself. I also realised that my hair looked amazing after the colour but also after salon grade products. So those products will also be in my beauty arsenal. I think that since grey hair lacks pigment, it will always give us a 'washed out' old look. It's like having a massive ash dump on our faces. There is nothing wrong with colouring our hair again. I'm glad I tried it but now it's time to refresh and be stylish again. If anyone says to you that you should not look to others and what they are doing with their hair or fashion, then I strongly advise that you ignore such advice. There is nothing wrong with seeing and getting tips from other stylish women who have worked out how to dress, how to fashion their hair and how to select classy eyeglasses! Good luck with your decision. As an addendum, you have lovely hair and if your hair can handle the highlights and colouring then go for it! There is nothing wrong with aiming for beauty as there is no such thing as natural beauty 🙂

      Im with you-personally Im not a fan of 'ageing gracefully' because I just look hideous with a sagging face and grey hair. I dont feel free like that at all. I feel much happier getting stuff done to look better. But others dont care about looking young so each to their own. But if it helps, Ive discovered subliminals which are basically audio tracks which reprogram your brain and can be used for rejuvenation, weight loss etc. I tried a youth one and it had affirmations for grey hair and I kid you not, within a few days of listening to it just once per day (it was about a 10 min track) I noticed my grey hair was improving. It wasnt because Id washed it and they dye had run because I hadnt washed it, it wasnt different lighting. There was a bit chink iof white and I seriously couldnt find it again. It hadnt gone completely but it was like 50% better. Sounds crazy but there are now studies that show its possible to reverse grey hair. And that it is also scientifically possible to reverse aging. The key to using subs is to be in a happy mindset while listening and generally in your life so you dont undo the good work with stress hormones like cortisol e

    We only associate gray hair with being "old" because we've been told that for so long by society at large. If we didn't dye our hair at the first sign of gray, we wouldn't have this negative association with gray hair equating to "old"...it would just be another hair color.
    I think your hair looks great, but you should certainly do what makes you feel best about it. I'm coming up on two years gray now as well, but I love mine, and you couldn't pay me to dye it again. It's just as much a part of my identity now as my brunette hair was when I was younger.
    I think you're smart taking time to think about the decision and not just jumping straight back to dye. That way, if you do dye it, you'll know that's what you really want. You can also do semi-permanent dyes instead of permanent (think Overtone, etc). That could be a fun way to try some different colors (lavender, blue or green, maybe?), and just let it wash out in a few weeks.
    Good luck! I'm sure whatever decision you make, it'll be the right one for you.

There are so many of us that will cheer you on! Watch other silver sisters and their struggles through the transition. They can be very inspiring. You have put so much effort in and your gray IS beautiful! Your hair is long and healthy and will only get better with time. Embrace the gray and the new stage of you image and if it still doesn't feel right then maybe the time is not quite right to go gray. You cans always try again and again. I think it is as much mental as anything so don't be hard on yourself if the time isn't right for it now after all! Do what your heart wants to do and don't give a thought to anyone who doesn't support you decisions, whatever they are. Know that you are beautiful.

I like the med dark one, vibrant silver, although I haven't tried it yet. I’m a blonde still and doing the dye strip method for a while. The gray also needs a lot of maintenance to look soft and nice I've noticed, but lots of advice and support on CZcams on that. But, it’s a lot less work than keeping up the coloring.

You do not look 'old' and you do not look 'worn out'. I get so inspired watching how amazing each individual going through this journey, ultimately transforms into a completely radiant person. I can't put it into words, but there is something that happens once a person has fully transitioned. Like they've come in to their own (power) maybe? And they just start glowing. I hope you keep going because you are almost there!

I notice that the color of some clothes that I used to really like do not look good on me any more. So, I am discovering new colors. My reasons for not dyeing my hair are ecological. I do not want to wash all those chemicals down the drain to pollute water and nature for my vanity.

    Hello your hair is beautiful. I would go with lighter make-up thats more suited to lighter toned hair. I would go with some really light colors and then warm it up from there, that will make a huge difference. Your skin tone will carry it well and be more balanced appearance. The hair colors coming in are a lovely color, if you do make an adjustment I would just add a few highlights around your face for now, and maybe some more if you like how it turns out. It will still look natural as it grows out if you dont want to keep up with the highlights there wont be a harsh line like a dark color would show as the hair grows

I congratulate you, and embrace your natural beauty, because if you dying your hair you will only regret it due to the silver will still come in, and you will not be your authentic self. Plus you will have to keep dying all your natural beauty away. You don't look old I'm 48 and I feel 35 some people want you to have that spirit of evil don't let anyone steal your joy, and true self. Think about how far you have came , and went through all the transitions, feelings, etc to get here. Whatever decision you make be sure it's you thoughts, feelings, and not a comment that was mean with the serpents tongue.

      Thank you for your kind comment 💖 I liked having my natural hair color, but right now I felt that I wanted to make a change. I felt really old when I looked at myself in the mirror. I am sure I will go back to my natural hair color again at some point later on. All the best to you 💖

    Hello. I just saw you for the first time just now. I was thinking how much value society puts on the color of our hair as if it's THE ONLY thing to consider from the neck up. I totally disagree. It's more than hair color or lack of color. Our face fades, too. If we never wear or change our makeup when we get older or ditch the dye, we will just look more "lighter/softer" and blame it on the silver. Instead, look at going silver as a new phase in your life to reinvent your look a bit. Get a new hairstyle that works for who you are now, not who you were 5,10,20 years ago. Buy new colors in makeup, change up your clothing colors you wear on top. Going through the patience of going silver for 23 months or however long, is a long time. Focusing on just your silver hair as being the culprit of feeling like you look "old" is missing other factors. I know this video is a month old but I hope that you made other changes instead of dyeing your hair. And I wish you peace in your heart.

      Thank you for your kind words 💖 I have decided to keep going grey and not dye my hair again. I will try to buy other colors of clothes and make up, I think that will be a good idea. All the best to you 💖
