- Going Gray the Easy Way! I got tired of chasing that white strip on the top of my head and decided it was time to embrace my gray. But I didn't like the options my hairdressers were giving me, so I took matters into my own hands. This is how to go gray the easy way. I had my hairdresser bleach it to the lightest blonde he could and I took it from there.....

I went gray during Covid...best thing I ever did! I cut my own hair and I find young men are very attentive (probably think granny needs assistance). Then the trend began and young women paid big bucks bucks for the look. It's growing with grace and not forcing anything in life.
Monique you're so good for the females of the world. Good advice and heaps of confidence. 💃🏼👏🏼❤
Just turned 72 and it was finally time to stop the hair dye! I followed your instructions and today have the most beautiful silver hair! A world of thanks for posting your how to video! The very best always!
Hi Roberta, when you bleached your hair to get out all the color, did you use something like Olaplex to fend off the damage?
Sending Love ❤️... Roberta, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
You are absolutely beautiful!!! I am 67 and my roots are turning grey!!! Thanks for your inspiration🌹🌱🌹🌱🤗🤗🤗
It was so much fun to go back in time and see your going gray journey and your short hair which looks adorable.
As a man, I don’t know why I find watching her do these is so relaxing. Maybe because I’m lucky I don’t have to do this which requires a lot of work.:)
When I started going gray at 29 everyone said it looked good, it was at my temples so I looked okay (I guess) one weekend after feeling old and tired I dyed it. When I went into work on Monday everyone said Liz we are so glad u got rid of that gray! You look much better. For years I dyed it 25 yrs to be exact. Now at 68 I Love my Silver hair, I worked with the transition n before I knew it Voalla! Now it really doesn't matter if people like it or not I Love It, I Am Beautiful. You are Beautiful Thank U.

Short, gray respectable hair? Yes, please. Monique, you look better now than you did in the 90's. And I really like what you've done with your online presence. Keep up the good work.

I've been wishing my hair would hurry up & go 'full on' grey...silver grey! Instead it's mousey brown w/ grey hairs mixed in. Yuk. I did go quite short & bleached blond for the first time in my life, last year. Lovin' it! But I really want that silvery platinum or grey like your color. What is up w/stylist not giving you what you ask for?! At any rate, you are stunning. And your hair is gorgeous!..cut & color. 💖
Same with my mom! She had almost all white at 17! I sent her your channel! Thanks for the amazing videos! You’re such a babe!
Beautiful! I adhere to the old rule that one should not have long hair after age 40.And yet, I see on TV that most older' Americans DO have long hair. Where I live in Quebec, it is rare to see a woman over 50 with long hair. I agree that it is aging. And dark hair as one ages, maybe after age 60, is also aging. So, here you are with very short hair that is a natural colour and will over the next 4 or 5 months be white/silver all over. Lovely!.
Going gray, and not quite ready to do anything about it, but THANK YOU for teaching me about this!
Crazy about this cut on you - you look so young and hip!
why is a young look always seen as best?
Angela Siegfried - think about what you asked.
Hello Rowan
You are stunning. Wow! Gaining the courage to go gray myself because gray is fabulous! Thanks for posting!
Excellent. I ended up using the same manic panic products. I've been growing my silver out for 3 years now. For the first few months, I used those waxy root color sticks they sell at Sallys. Then I got down to business. I bought clip-in, real hair extensions and bleached them right out and toned them to silver. Whenever I went out, I popped them in and it visually carried the streaks all the way down the length of my hair. In doing so, I minimized the demarcation line. After about a year, I didn't need to do that anymore. 3 years later, I STILL have some of my dyed ends but by now they look like a deliberate ombre. I actually get compliments on it.. more than expected. Love your videos :-)
Hello Kimberly
I just decided to go natural gray- with help at 50 after coloring for 30 years too. I am pretty much doing what you did with your hair without cutting it as short and the toners really do help. Loreal Le Color Silver is a great toner product.
Sending Love ❤️...Are you single ❤️🥰😊
I am not gray enough yet, but when that day comes, I will be turning to this video. Thanks Monique.
Hello Kimberly
I love the shade of your hair! I let my hair go grey 3 yrs ago, and now I'm a bit bored with the colour. I think I'll try the manic panic, thank you Monique.
Hi Judy
I'm about to turn 40 and just noticed just two strands of grey 😂. When a lot of grey grows I will go platinum. I will embrace it definitely. I just subbed to you. I love you videos and admire your strong spirit.
Sending Love ❤️... Are you single ❤️😊🥰
My hair is naturally a silky pure white now. Last spring I got the notion I did not want white hair on my renewed driver's license, so I had it colored to a very light brown. (Vanity meets mortality.) Now I see my folly. After box coloring for about 7 months, I want to go back to the white. I am so glad you shared having your hair bleached out. I had been looking online and all I saw was cut, or endure the grow out. The bleaching definitely will be the way for me to go. Thank you for sharing this information.
I went to your blog and watched the other video. Although it came out nice, I think I like this video's method in terms of the color I prefer. I've been looking for these tutorials for awhile. So happy I came upon yours. New subbie. People stop me all the time and I will be sure to send them here. Thanks.
And also your new look brings out your eyes much better never cease to amaze.
No thank you for not only being both beautiful inside but constantly showing it outside I appreciate everything you've ever done for us on CZcams please keep up the great work.
You look health ,natural beauty and more of a softer look .Love the grey and the cut so classy.
🌸 You are a beautiful woman. Giving me Jamie Lee Curtis “True Lies” vibes. Started my grey journey yesterday (49 next month).
So glad I came across your videos! You couldn't be anymore beautiful! I just had my hair completely lifted and had it done in a very white/silver/purple finish. Best color I've ever had! Will be buying these products to keep up with it!
I love that color ! and I do prefer you with a light make up ;)
You're still young !! Beautiful...
Oh my gosh, I'm watching the exact dilemma I myself faced the last several years. I too started going gray at about 15, and have been coloring my hair ever since, about 23 years. Almost always a deep auburn. Last summer, with quarter inch WHITE roots and deep, dyed, auburn hair down to the middle of my back I finally just made the gut wrenching decision to shave my head.... I'm not gonna say i did it and never looked back but I AM FINALLY happy with the growth, and NEVER having to color my hair again!!!!!
Sending Love ❤️... Are you single ❤️😊🥰
@@nickadams1519 Hahaha, thank you 🥰
@@pixiedragon5085 You are welcome 🤗... Do you care to chat?
That color looks amazing on you!
I start to going gray at the age of 12, and i love my hair!
I started greying at 14.. pretty close. Nothing wrong with loving what you've got.
I let my grey grow out when i turned 40. Now, at 53, i get compliments daily on it. To keep it bright, i use the overtone lilac/periwinkle kit. It doesn't turn my hair color, per say, but it counteracts the yellow and brass that can pop up and leaves it so soft!
Hello Holly
Did the same about 2 weeks ago. Turns out my roots are a beautiful white, just like my mom, grandmothers, and grandpa. Wish I had started this journey sooner.
I went silver and evey one. Said it looked better than my old yellow color I have this lady to thank I feel so much better bout my hair
Hello Dawn
I was never crazy about my drab brunette hair & was so pleased to see Greg set in. I'd been coloring for so long, I didn't know I had it till my barber noticed it when I went to get the color shaved off!
Sending Love ❤️ .. Robin, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
Monique, this hairstyle suits you sooo much. :)
Monique, you are beautiful and your video makes it so simple. I also have short, graying hair. I am growing my grays on the side and still darker on top. You have given me the courage to go all of the way. Thank you so much for your tutorial!
Hello Sonja
Sending Love ❤️... Sonja, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
Think my first gray was in my 20s but I never bothered dying. Too much trouble and expense. Then at maybe 40, I started dying every once in a while to a light brown/dark blonde. More trouble than nothing but not too bad. Then I turned 50 (I'm 53 now). I, from time to time, and depending on the lighting, had people tell me my hair looked red. So I started to embrace that and went red brown. Changed my life, really. Like you said, it's a constant chasing that white strip, and red is very high maintenance but I love it. I didn't have 30 years of coloring my hair like you, so I don't know how long I will keep this up; but I am pretty sure I am VERY gray (unlike my still merely salt and pepper or not-much-gray-at-all older sisters!). I wonder how long it will be before I am ready to embrace the gray.
Hi Marsha
@@mikecooley791, hi.
I too have been going gray since my teens and I can totally relate to the feeling that colouring it just doesn't look right on your skin. I stopped when I was about 32 and it was so liberating! You look great! :)
Hello Brenda
Sending Love ❤️... Brenda... Are you single ❤️😊❤️
Thankyou. I have long blonde hair but the grey still comes through. Great advice.
Sending Love ❤️... Antonia, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
I've been FREAKING OUT over my grey hair. Like breakdown cry and panic! I think for a Looooong time now and tbh still now , just cant except the white hair coming through. I use to have darkest brown almost black and now ......😟 well sad face. Its definitely all over a ash chocolate brown very faded. And alot alot lot of whites. Since before I turned 18 I think but really actually saw them showing more on top at age 19, I'm almost 29 now..I hate it. Still. But I'll be honest, watching this actually makes me feel a little bit better about it all.. so I'm happy I found this vid. And your stunning! If I look half as gorgeous as you do when my hair colour is almost entirely gone , ill be pretty bloody stoked. 😊👌 beautiful! Thank you.
Thank you SO much. I've been afraid to do this, although my daughter has suggested this very thing for me.....go figure. I can only hope to rock it as beautifully as you do!
Hello Cindy
Sending Love ❤️... Cindy, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
Omg! So happy to see a woman my age making a video about the grey. I'm in the process of bleaching mine to white so I can do a silver grey, since I'm now at about 50/50, but dyeing black is too much of a pain. I've been dyeing the streak purple for years, but the streak is no longer definite, like you said, it's not pretty trying to grow this thing out. The silver hair looks beautiful on you!
So, as you can see from my new profile pic, I've dyed it a chrome titanium colour, and it blends right in with the salt and pepper. No demarcation line! I love it, and I think I will let it grow out and maybe cut it chin length once the growth is long enough. I've embraced the silver!!
Love your creative looks I have watched alot of your ideas and great looks with colors wigs a plus
Thank you for posting this. I started getting greys at 16, over 30 years ago, and decided to stop coloring my hair altogether about 4 years ago. I'm getting some nice silver streaks in, but NOT FAST ENOUGH. Instead, it's been going this all-over gunmetal blue grey with a few lighter streaks, and I really want to go totally silver as you have. My concern is that my hair is hip-length now and very thick, so to get it fully lightened first at a salon would NOT be cheap, so I've really debated whether it's worth the expense. Also, I'm paranoid about the damage from the lightening process, especially as hair over 40 is more prone to breakage. Still, this really inspires me to at least ask my stylist about the pros & cons whether it I should try to speed it up now.
Sending Love ❤️... Heather, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
I love the cut ... almost makes me want to ditch my looooong hair so the it wouldn't cost as much to bleach out since I have about 4 inches if dilver roots and the rest is what my natural color use to be lol ... love your videos.
Thanks
Hello Mary
Sending Love ❤️... Mary...Are you single ❤️😊🥰
I like that you got a photographer. It makes it easier to watch. Thank you for all your tips for us ladies who are over 50.
I am a ginger, who had turned white(not gray, but actually WHITE. I need to wear more makeup because I have no color on my head. Do you have any tips?
Hello Ellen
U are so beautiful. I support u 100%!!
Monique your video gave me the courage to stop the coloring of my grey hair, bleach it out and go EL NATURELL. Although bleaching is very hard on ones hair, and I happen to be one of the lucky one to have thick strong hair in my mid sixties. I am rocky the white cotton top at the moment- Had to also have a significant amount of hair cut off that did not survive the process very well. But the silver lining -- no pun intended -- is I am in month 2 since taking the big step and I have not had to do any roots. Now I am shopping for a topper so when I want to glam up my look -- and have longer hair it is literally a few step away .
I discover your channel today and I really love grey hair. I'm 55 and don't have grey myself, bad for me..
By the way, the pixie cut is made for you. It makes you more stylish and younger than any other hair do.
Greetings from a Frenchy 😚
You and your hair are lovely! I think it makes a big difference that you're so fit. You don't look like someone who just "let themselves go."
Hello Liora
You look fabulous! I'm 51 and got my first gray hair at 23. I've been coloring it for a long time. About a year and a half ago I started letting it go gray. Unfortunately after about 8 months I chickened out and colored it again. Now it seems like it's growing back faster and faster than ever. I'm thinking about trying again. Maybe it'll be less painful this time because my hair is quite short now. The new growth is a pretty silverish white, very bright and shiny, so I think it will look good.
Sending Love ❤️... Are you single ❤️😊🥰
I love your videos..
Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Hello Vicki
I have been a platinum blonde for years, but have striven for the silver grey. My father is a natural silver fox, so I am having to, "fake it, till I make it". It is genetic in our family. I so wanted that "pop" of color. My Stylist has even tried, the color Titanium, to no avail. So with that, I came across Monique Parent' video (looking for videos on maturing gracefully) and then watched other videos, of all hair colors - trying this product. I pay a lot of money for my stylist to take care of my color, so I was hesitant, but felt confident due to researching and after finding Monique Parent' CZcams site. Last night, O thought to myself, you are actually thinking of placing a product that costs only $9.99 on your head. Well, I prepared it just as Monique suggested, 50% of the Blue Steel color, and 50% of the pastel-yzer. I am unbelievably astonished. The color, silver grey that I have been striving for is finally, finally on my head! My default photo is my before hair. It had areas of gold tone, but the Blue Steel took it away and placed an evenly beautiful silver color. I will continue to watch her videos, to stay classy as I age.
Hello Lisa
Sending Love ❤️.... Lisa, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
I am 72 now and have coloured my hair since I was 18 because of a broken heart (silly young me). I found it so enlightening I continued from my usual mouse dark blond to a lovely pale red blond. It was so admired as I had wild curly hair, the bane of my life! It was not until I was 60 as it made me look artificial. So changed to a light blond. Now I am sick of the monthly colour job and want to go grey! Will show this to my lovely hairdresser! Thank you, you look beautiful!
You're colour and cut is exactly what I'm looking for..Stunning.
I had the cut, though my fringe was way longer, but had been dying over my gray hair since my 20's, and my natural colour was black.
So after 15 years of hair down to the base of my spine, I had it chopped to your length..Brave huh :)
Still, my hair was crappy and brittle, and got fed up doing my roots every 3 weeks, so not healthy either. Found out last week that my hair was due to hypothyroidism, as well as the massive weight gain..
My hairdresser told me it was too far gone with the condition I have, and so badly dyed, they'd have had to beach it out in three steps, which would've left it in worse condition than before, and cost me hundreds of dollars.
So I just shaved off all my hair with my sons help, and fully intend to go with this look when it's grows in..
Great video.
You are very beautiful and love that you have embraced going grey, i too plan on embracing going grey!
Same here, started going grey at 16 (I'm 51), dyed it for 30 years too! I just had the hairdresser strip the color.... it looked a bit yellow for a little while but it all grew and with a few trims, I was very quickly naturally grey! I have very short silver grey hair.

Monique, I'm 54, and starting to see silver hairs in my bangs. what is your opinion? should I go silver, now or wait till there is a lot more? And other people you are very beautiful.
Dawn Gable
I'm 61 and have some grey hair around my temples. I'm not sure if I want to bleach my hair yet. I lost a lot of hair after a survey. I'm taking biotin, but it's still think. I'd love ypto have my hair cut really short. I'm toying with the idea of cutting my hair really short all the way around.
amethystsamia
Only you can answer that. This is a very personal, intimate journey. The way I'm doing it is very different than Monique. Do what makes you feel best and know there will be a mourning period as you transition.
Kat James Your response directly to me doesn't make sense to me. I simply said it was beautiful. Perhaps you're talking to someone else?
Fantastic! I started graying at a young age, so went silver for about 10 yrs, then got bored & went very light blonde. Ready to go back to my natural gray/silver, so thanks for this video! I'll definitely try it!
Hi Jeanne
Sending Love ❤️... Jeanne, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
Oh my goodness! Beautiful!! I'm totally doing this!!
I wish I had found your channel last year, I decided to help Mother Nature with my hair too, I've had to experiment a few times myself..... not quiet there yet, but this video will help. Thank you.
Thank you! I will be recommending your video as many women ask me how to get silver hair.
After transitioning from brunette to silver I had not counted on two more things that had to change:
1) make-up to counter the washed out appearance
2) hues in wardrobe as brown no longer rang a note in harmony with my hair
Great way to go gray! I just cut mine short and stopped coloring when I turned 40. I got my first gray hair when I was 14, so I really don't associate it with age. I find that your natural color goes with the rest of you. When I dyed, it never, ever seemed quite right.
Sending Love ❤️.... Are you single ❤️😊🥰
You're hair is fabulous.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that.
"Salty Crystal". I love the salty color. I used the silver & got a dark grey. Blah. I want the "crystal snowy" color. I go to S.Centric & I'll let you know if I'm successful. I have a blonde foil now going for that gorgeous salt silver white! I can call it a # of names but absolutely love the "Snow~White!!. Wish me luck!! Cheers🌺
gee thanks great products I am afraid going pink or purple won't work at the garden club although thanks and I might get locked out of the house but it looks fun.
Hello Connie
Great haircut and colour, really suits you
Oh my gawd... I am so on the same page. I have been grey or partially grey since around 13 years old and dying it until my 40's and then was done with the upkeep and frankly I was liking the idea of grey. I had to do it the hard way though and go with a VERY drastic short cut. Anyhow thank you for introducing me to the Manic Panic Products.. I am stocking up!
Hi Kim
Sending Love ❤️.... Kim... Are you single ❤️🥰😊
You have great hair to begin with. My hair has gotten thin with thyroid issue and age. But You make gray gorgeous! It is almost more platinum to me. Your face is perfect for the cut too. Very nice.
Thanks for the tip on cool water!
Wow, i also started going grey or white early. Mine started at 14! I'm now 49 and have been battling the "skunk stripe" for years. I color my own hair b/c I was tired of getting charged extra for "corrective color". It's not corrective, it's my natural hair! I love the grey look on you. I doubt i could pull off the grey, I'd look washed out. You rock it.
Sending Love ❤️... Are you single ❤️😊🥰
Monique, I've just discovered your videos and I love them. I'm only 29 but seeing you and watching your videos is really inspiring and makes me not dread ageing. You're so beautiful and you seem to be able to pull off any look xxx
Hello how are you doing
The color turned out beautiful and looks natural! Blessings!
Hi Luz
I'm not even 40 and I have a lot of white hair. The thing is, I'm fed up with dying my hair and now I have a big growth that requires a new hair cut to blend the old with the new... It's power defining moment when letting your own hair colour show up again and embrace age and life :-)
Incredible - I have the same mirror-framed piece in our master bath! :)
I like your silver hair videos (I'm trying to rush my grey along). Moreover, I love your forthright style, especially, as I get back into the acting/voiceover saddle again, after a child rearing hiatus. Thanks so much!
I have been a huge fan of yours since the 90's, and I'm so thrilled to have "discovered" your channel today!! :) Your hair is beautiful....I love the silver grey look! You are so sophisticated & classy, & your decision to go grey enhances that! Thank you so much for all of your work and for your excellent channel..... :)
So glad I found your youtube! You are such a classy, elegant and well-spoken lady. I don't have a lot of greys but prefer to have the total silvery white look you have! Love, love, love it. Love your make up as well. Please share that secret too!
I have now grew out my grays about 3 cm. Going to bleach the rest off the dye in my hair tomorrow. And tone it. I hope it will be as nice as your hair is ! I can always cut it off , if it doesn't look good.
I love this!! My hair is dark. So I am thinking of bleaching it before. Later I will cut the hair. But every place I go, they put the face!!!! So I am hoping to find that great stylist in my area! Finguers cross
Love it, love it, love it!!
Hi Ruth
I loved this color I will try it too. Love you and your video.
that is gorgeous hair on a beautiful woman with a powerful soul... I can't get my silver in fast enough.
Thank you. I want to go gray creatively, there's no information out there, your information is the first I've seen.
Hello koley
You have an amazing personality! Love the hair! Don't go darker!!
You look beautiful Monique!
I liked your hair so much cut mine all off today and embraced my silver! Ty!
Hi Rocky

Hi Kitty
You look amazing and I love your hair cut and color.
Hi Deb
Looks really good! I started turning @20 and have colored most of that time. Now I'm transitioning and embracing, but not quite rocking it. LOL! Your hair is beautiful and short does look good on you.
Sending Love ❤️... Missy, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
thank you for sharing, it really turned out beautiful! love to see a little more blueish silver. whatever you decide to try I'm sure it will look great.
I love your personality. You sound so calm, nice, and very confident. Great video!
Hello Cynthia
With that canvass you could dye your hair purple and look fabulous.
Hello Grace
your makeup looks fabulous! subtle yet a gorgeous enhancement. Stay real lady steel!
You rock the gray like no other!
I also been gray early ...you look amazing ....your man man a lucky guy...
Wow you are beautiful, thank you for the tips. You are an inspiration :)
Hello Kimberly
I didn't want to cut my hair off or go through all these processes. I just grew min out. Once it got past about my ears, everyone that didn't know thought I had done the ombré effect. When I had about 3" left on the ends I'd had enough and cut it off. Couldn't be happier with it now.
you look gorgeous with your hair like that , not many women can pull of that short of hair but you do!
Hi Chris
Thank you so very much for all of your informative videos!
You are just awesome!! Thank you so very much!!
Hello Maureen
Still looking ever so beautiful don't ever change a thing because even when you do you just get better looking.
