Thank you for your encouragement, my hair is just growing back since chemo, dyed my hair for years, now my hair is gray, I'm happy to be alive and my hair is growing, thank you I needed some love yourself words today
Haydee Irizarry good luck in journey ❤️
Hi i lost my hair to chemo too grew back like a grey white blond glad to be alive too. Loved the video im not good at my make up
Im looking to get botox any places anyone can suggest i live in san joaquin county. 209 area. 😁
Thank you so much for inspiring me. I’m 46 and i took the plunge to do it. It’s been 7 months, i already got several compliments and i’m loving it. 🥰🥰🥰
Just beginning my journey! I cannot wait till I'm clear of dye! Only been 1 month the end of the week so I know I have a very long way to go. I just hope my thinning hair grows back. Thanks for your video! :-)
Wow! What a motivating video that I feel was from your heart. I am almost 70 years old and have been dying my hair for years. It is time for me to embrace my gray. I'm scared and yet excited for this journey. You have really helped me. I'm tired of the harsh chemicals and the expense of having it colored every five weeks. I thank you for all of your encouraging words. How beautiful you are! I'm so happy that I saw your video. I'm going to subscribe.
I started letting my grey hair grow out 7 years ago Best thing I have done my hair is now very long down my back and lots of people say it is beautiful. I'm 65 year old from Dublin Ireland
I am 21 years old Andi have started to go grey, I find more and more every day, I'm excited to rock the look even though I am so young, thank u for showing us the silver lining xxxx
I happened upon this site while searching for videos on going gray and I feel so inspired right now! Nikol - you are beautiful and watching you I feel more certain of my decision to go gray. It is an incredibly long journey and I just want it to be OVER! After watching you I want to cut my hair, after having just grown it out, and know it will grow back as it did before! Your positive words struck a cord with me and I feel good about myself again. Thank you!
Your hair is beautiful. I think your hair looked gorgeous with that silver streak. I am 63 and have only just getting a few grey hairs but have decided not to cover them up. I like them and actually look forward to going completely grey. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us older women.
Nikol! I love you and your videos! I am so happy to have found you! I am 63 and have been on my “going grey” journey for the past 9 months and this has been such a wonderful transformation! I am now so inspired by you to wear makeup everyday just for me because it makes me feel beautiful and have also started a weight loss journey to lose 20 pounds and get back in shape. You are such an inspiration to me!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have gotten more compliments on my hair, since I went gray. I just recently had a woman tell me, you have my dream hair. I love my gray hair!
compliments from women or men or both?
Me too, since I let my hair go gray 3 years ago when I hit 64, and had it cut shorter I have never had more compliments.
Having a milestone birthday this year. I've been coloring my hair since I started graying at 27. I've been toying with the idea of going white for 10 years but knew my husband did not want me to. You have inspired me. After my last hair appointment I told my stylist 6 weeks from now it will be a cut only. Thank you Nikol. My mothers hair was the beautiful white and I believe mine will be too. :)
I’m 4 months into my transition, I’m surprised how few greys I have, they’re just through the front. Years and years I freaked about my greys, loving them now. Embracing the grow out 👍🏻👍🏻
Omgosh! I love you!!! 💕 I’m 48 and am 10 weeks into my gray. I had a hysterectomy 10 weeks ago and the last time I dyed my hair was 3 days before... so in to a new ME and I am so thankful to find women like YOU are so encouraging. Everyone tells me not to do this.. EVERYONE, except my son.. he’s the only one who is encouraging but that’s all I need. Thanks so much Nikol! 💐
I'm 62, happy going gray and recently stopped wearing make-up, too! I'm enjoying this part of my life free from dye and make-up!
I’ve been a redhead most of my adult life. I started going gray in my early 30’s. Do to the COVID 19 I couldn’t go to the Solon. After 8 weeks my hair grew out enough so I could see how silver my hair had gone! I love it. So I decided to stop hiding and shine! I’m 69 and have a very busy life, this will give me way more time and its really fun. Thanks Nicole, for the encouragement.
Thank you for this messages... I stopped dying my hair because I felt like a hypocrite eating organic, caring for the environment and watching black toxins run down the drain ... and it was not matching my skin anymore... The gray hair growing in actually looks softer around my face... I have a ways to go and women like you help me secure more confidence... Thank you!!! ~ Maria
Nicol you are so beautiful no matter what hair length or color. Your videos are so encouraging. I’m 78 years old. About a year ago I had asked my hairdresser to help me go gray gradually. It didn’t work. She continually highlighted my hair with bleach. Well now with quarantine we have no choice. Thank you for all you do.
I’m ready to let my hair to do its thing. Grey is the way forward. Thank you
You look incredibly beautiful! And you are right about self confidence. There’s a certain level of freedom and confidence that comes with going gray. I’ll never go back to color my hair!
Thank you Nikol for your wonderful videos/group. I am 3 months into this and often think What the heck am I doing and want to color it again. You are so right about not giving into the temptation because its going to happen no matter what.
You are such a positive influence with your hair and make-up! Thank you again as I am sticking with the gray!
I have gone through the silver journey over 2 years ago. It was hard used lots of powders and sprays to help hide the demarcation. Then I cut my hair in a pixie to cut off all the dyed color. I can tell you that I get more positive comments with my salt & pepper hair then I ever did with my dyed hair! Ladies it's liberating!
Excellent! Most of us can tell, who dyes their hair. Not a secret. I especially hate the black hair dye on older faces and that white area on top..that grows out! Then the phony red. Who ever started that? Henna/burgandy. Natural anything is so much better! The real thing.
@@littleme3597 Not everybody looks good with gray! Yes it's a fact of life, we will all grow gray but I'm not jumping on the gray train just because it's having a moment. SOME people look good in gray and some people (like me) do not and will not look good with gray. Gray looks awesome on Nikol, but it looks weird dreary bland on many others, so look at women who look Great in Gray and see if you kind of "look" a little like them, i.e., complexion, bone structure, brows, a silver tone looks much better than the gray/ blonde look (which is iffy on a lot of women) IMO, IMO of course.
I know exactly how you feel. I started my transition 18 months ago. I had very long hair and after 6 months I cut it into a bob. At 11 months I couldn't take it anymore, so I bit the bullet and had it cut very short. Now I'm just waiting for it to grow longer. I live in a small town and have had no positive comments. Most of my family doesn't even approve of it, however they live far away. So who cares what other people think? The funniest thing is that is when I run into someone that I haven't seen for quite some time, that they have absolutely no idea who I am. I had fun with this. ;) The sad thing is that it made me realize that they only defined me by my hair.
@@t.s.5206 This isn't just about having a "moment". It's about embracing the real you. My own sister made up excuses why she wouldn't do it. She finally said that she wasn't ready to be a gray woman yet. She thinks that she will look old. Mind you she is only 16 months younger than I am, and has an 8-year-old son. I suppose that everyone needs their own time to make the decision. Gray hair can look good on anyone. You just need a good styled cut, change your makeup and wardrobe colors a bit.
I am allowing my grey to grow out. I am going into my 3rd month. And I am loving it. I will start trimming it every so often. But I love the color that is growing out.
Great channel! I was fed up with colouring and I was only doing it because it’s ‘wrong’ to show signs of ageing. I’d had enough and decided to take control, I signed up to raise money for a cancer charity by shaving my hair off. It’s been fun seeing it grow back and see my real hair colour.
Your hair and your whole look is fantastic! I grew mine out last year, and while I have since dyed it copper red, I was so grateful and so happy to have taken a year of not having any chemical color on my hair. And now I know that I can do it again any time I want. Your earlier, transitional video really inspired me at the time, and if I ever grow out my silver again, I’ll be back to see how you’re doing. Thanks, Nikol!
Just starting the grey journey mainly because I am tired of my hair breakage from all the die and the cost. Thanks for this post!
Thank you so much. I am 60 and have decided to stop colouring my hair and let it go grey and age disgracefully!!
Tonight I stumbled on your channel. Wow! I had that ah ha moment and let my hair go from black to blonde now white . Without a doubt its the best I’ve looked in my life. I have moments of insecurity which get dismissed within seconds . People stop me at least 4x a day to compliment my look. What a relief in so many ways.
I've lightened and/or dyed my hair all of my life. I'm 69 and decided to go gray. I've always had long hair to some degree. I grew my roots out about 2 inches and decided that I'm going to take the plunge and go short. It was the best and least painful way to go. I now have a bob and I love it.
You are amazing and so beautiful, I decided to stop dying my hair about 4 or 5 years ago, my daughter is a hair dresser and told me to stop because I was damaging my hair, so I did, I didn't have a lot of gray just enough that I thought it needed to be covered. So I stopped dying it and cut it short and I have never regretted that decision, and I have gotten more compliments about how beautiful my gray hair is, and if they had my color of gray hair they would stop dying theirs. It really is liberating, and I love it, thank you for all of your beauty tips, I am a woman that is 61, and does not look my age even with my gray hair. I'm glad that I found your channel, thank you again.
You look amazing, beautiful & strong in presenting your authentic self to the world.. the journal idea is essential for questioning & understanding & a wonderful present to hand down to daughters or a niece for when they reach this stage too. You are a beacon of Light
I'm 5 months in my transition. Thinking about documenting it. I'm watching this video because the holidays are coming up. I'm nervous about it but I think I can get through it. You're beautiful Nikol, I LOVE your hair!
Your hair is so beautiful, I love the color. I am just beginning this journey, I'm 75, but very active and feel more like I'm 55. Your videos and FB page have been so helpful. I know I would never have dared to begin going grey until I viewed UA-cam and all the positive Silver Sisters. Thank you.
Yep, same. I'm 46 and 3 months in. I'm wondering if I'm going to cave.
Thank you Nikol, just discovered your channel, good stuff. My husband has been trying to get me to stop coloring and go natural, and have been transitioning over the last 6 months. It’s hard to let go of the dark color because of the stark contrast, but your videos help me stay on track and not cave and color it!
Thank you! I am 40 and decided today to start the transition! 💕
MWAJW Same! 🙋🏻♀️
Me too, I'm 5 months in now. Watching these videos because the holidays are coming up and I'm nervous about it but I will get thru it best wishes to you!
I'm in this stage of transitioning, I'm tired of bleaching and color correcting. I'd rather be gray than bald. My last visit to the salon was a mix of emotions, walked in and told my stylist to do a pixie cut. She looked puzzled and confused at me and asked me if I was ok. At the moment I'm rocking a pixie and I'm loving it.
How is your grey hair transition going today?
🙌🙌🙌
I’m 28 and started going gray a few years ago. The last year it has flourished the most, I’ve decided to let it grow out and it’s been almost a year now of natural hair! Everyone is so surprised at how young I am with gray hair but they usually love it! I have noticed by letting it grow, it is easier to manage. One issue I had is that it would kink up from being such a different texture when it started growing out but now that it’s longer, it’s so much more manageable. Cheers to embracing a natural process!
samanthachristine89 I’m 30 and I started having white hair when I was 18 and by now I have a lot of white hair! I would like to stop coloring but I’m scared of looking older
I think grey/silver hair on a young person is really unique. I knew a woman with hair that was so white it looked platinum and it was really long. She stood out in a very good way.
What a great video. I've been going gray since I was 14, but I just turned 36 and its really filling out and I started changing the way I look at myself. I've never not liked it, never tried to dye it, but getting older, hearing some negative comments, even though I get a lot of good ones, they start to eat away at the confidence. This was really uplifting, thank you. Also, had a similar reaction to cutting my hair into a pixie as well, they all were in awe of their misjudgment!
I'm thankful I've never really dyed my hair other than my natraul color. A couple years ago about 33 I let my gray hair grow out. I love it! Gray hair don't care squad!
Thank you. I needed this. During this coronavirus pandemic, I’ve been home and can’t get to the salon. My grays, actually my whites, are growing in and I have that distinct line from my part. I’m really thinking of letting it go and I hope I can do it. It’s absolutely fascinating to see this white hair coming in! It is really a transformation that I will be going through. So strange ! I wonder what I’ll look like. I suppose if I have the guts to do it, if I really hate it I can always dye it back!
You look SO beautiful! I am so tired of dying my hair every 4 weeks and it doesn’t last. I’m about to turn 53 and not only is it so expensive but it doesn’t last. I want to look beautiful just the way I am. I have a lot of gray and you can’t keep up with the gray race! Lol. I am definitely going to think about it and you give me courage!❤️
So many ladies are supportive of the "natural" look. Get brave and go for it ladies, embrace your true beautiful self.
You are beautiful! Thank you for being an inspiration for those of us who are going grey....especially now that all the hair stylists shops are closed. :) I think I am going to ditch the dye from now on!
I’m 14 months into the transition of my dyed hair! It looks a little funny but my natural hair is so soft and shiny it’s amazing!
imra316 exciting ♠️💋
I've been silver since I was 17, and I've loved it since the beginning. Everyone, including my mother who went grey around the same age, have told me for years to dye it and hide it because it "ages you". I've never understood what the problem with aging was and refused.
I’m transitioning now from red to silver and going great I keep my hair short, unfortunately I get comments...they really don’t bother me anymore I love what I see and I own it. You look gorgeous as long as you love what you see and you feel good about yourself the haters can go and take a flying jump 😁
Your hair is just gorgeous - period! I've never dyed my hair at all and now I have about 5-6 grey hairs around the front of my head.. I hate it. Your grey hairs are perfectly placed - love it!
I love your self confidence Nikki. You are one of the reasons I've decided to embrace my natural silver, thank you x
I cut mine as short as possible and let it come in as it will. I now have a silver bob which works best for my thin hair. Best thing is my gray did come in thicker so another bonus. I ran into a high school friend the other day that said "I decided to do the Shirlyn" which meant she stopped coloring and let the gray shine! Was nice to be an inspiration 😉
My name is Margo Coleman I needed to hear that and thank you for the words of encouragement I don't feel old but sometimes I don't like the way I look when I look in the mirror sometimes I don't want to look in the mirror I'm almost 60 years old but I don't like the way I look but thank you for the words of encouragement so trying to figure out what to do with my hair my hair is shoulder-length but it's all gravy all over my head sometimes people think I am older than what the what I am but thank you for the words of encouragement and God bless you
Congratulations to finding your truth. I understand it all to well. I am 62 years old and I have done all of what you mention in your video. The only thing I was missing was letting my grey grow out and thanks to your honesty I have started doing it as of almost 3 months ago.
You are a beautiful young woman. Thanks for sharing some tips! I went to a new stylist because I am going to try to go silver white again. Last time, I gave up and went and had it foiled.. low lights. I went to the stylist with several suggestions like the possibility of putting lowlights in the back because I thought I had a very obvious line of demarcation. Well, she laughed at me and wanted to know what my issue was? Lol! She told me to just let it keep growing because the front was looking wonderful and the back wasn’t what I was seeing. I had a good trim and left, our plan is to keep getting it trimmed about every 6 weeks and just let it grow out. All of this to say, I think that we are our worse critics. I do teach online everyday and don’t want to scare my students; therefore, I want my hair to look decent. And, honestly, I am fighting the aging process! I’m 61 and this baby boomer is going down fighting! Haha! Also, I watched the make over you did on your mom... loved your interaction! Really precious.
I just started my Silver journey this past May and I am truly excited and am sooo ready!! I plan on enjoying my journey with Joy. I'm blessed that my hubby 43 years is my biggest cheerleader. I also plan on being me..my hair cut, my makeup etc 😉 I literally take selfish every day. Thank you for being you and shining ✨️
It has been approx. 2 1/2 years since I stoped coloring may hair and will not go back. You and the Silver Foxy group inspired and motivated me to continue with my gray hair. Thank you.
You are the first person to say what I believe about hateful comments. What they say is more a reflection of them than the one being criticized. My family has people who go grey early (even in their twenties). I made a decision that I would let my hair go grey whenever it did. When I married I told my husband and he was all for it. I think looking frumpy and older has more to do with not having style than with hair color.💕
I had a pixie for 2 years, I loved it my BF hated it and all my make friends hate short hair. I think women with short hair are so much more confident, I felt chic and empowered with short hair. I have long joe joe but would totally chop it off again x
I’m over 70 , a little. I totally agree with your video. Sick of dying my hair. Most people here in Florida are gray so it makes it easier for me to feel confident to go gray. Thank you.
Barbara Von Eitzen wish me like I am 69 and going for it after I dyed my hair for 50 years
Thank you so much for your message!! I’m 61 now and that profile pic was when I was 59. And I’ve had greys since I was 12!! And now I have to color my roots every two weeks and I did have rebonds done several times too.. but I’ve had too many compliments about by Indian hair by hair stylists every time I want to cut my hair!! Been wanting to grow out my greys tho I have this stubborn dark streak on both my temples!!! Am at the stage where I really want to make myself happy, thank God for great genes for great skin and love my lipsticks and face done!! So glad I accidentally came upon your channel!! Bless you and everyone here wishing to be bold and happy and strong!! 💋
Thanks so much for this. I am about 95% of the way through my silver transition and I love it. I am sure that some people wonder what I am doing, but I don't care. This was for me and I feel more myself than I have in the 30+ years I have been dyeing.
I’m 53 and five months without dye. Every week is exciting to me as I can see changes . I got a lot of negative comments before I started and voiced my desire to do so. Now I’m getting so many compliments and I love my natural color. It is actually coming in quite similar to yours. Thank you for being an inspiration and working to change the way people view beauty.
You are so wonderful!! Thank you so much! I just had my hair cut by a new stylist. We talked about color. She commented that my color gray that's growing out is pretty!! No one has ever said positive comments about my roots...
I'm still on the fence and doing a lot of soulsearching...I'm nervous and scared, but better since watching your posts. I'm learning so much about self care, products, etc. Again, thank you :)
Thanks for this message. I went thru the change a year and a half ago due to an accident while running with my German Shepherd which resulted in some facial fractures. NO one was going to touch my face. So, decided it was time. I had been so apprehensive about the process, but really, my hair is in such great shape. No more combating the damage from all the processing on hair with texture. I have received more positive comments on my hair and looks than I ever have. Just do it, don't look back and embrace the freedom of being a natural woman.
OMG, you have helped me embrace my gray hair. I'm 58 and the grays are mostly toward the front of my hair. I now am at the point where I need to trim my hair often until I have my natural color, gray and brown. Nikol, thank you so much for this video.
Her hair keeps getting better and better!
I'm only 7 weeks into it with a little over an inch of silver and I find it really interesting to look in the mirror now. I did have some highlights, and some of them did turn orange but the hairdresser will re-bleach them again, tomorrow actually, and they will be lighter. I feel they soften the line of demarcation and provide a distraction from what's going on with my roots since there's a variety of colors to look at now. My hair is down to my waist but I wear it in a side braid mostly and it doesn't look too bad. I love what you said about this being a journey you only go through once and about embracing it and the changes it will bring to you. Very encouraging video and you and your hair are gorgeous. Thank you :)
I just turned 63 and I’ve decided to take the plunge to gray
me too!!
How's it going? I'm just starting!
I get more compliments on my graying blonde hair than ever. Ppl think I pay money for this. I had a feeling I would rock it because my dad rocked his, and I look like him. My skin is youthful, so I feel like my hair gives me an air of sophistication that I otherwise lack! Plus I save hundreds of dollars each year. Lol
Nikol, Thank you for taking your time to have this kind of conversation that helps women to go to the transition with more knowledge. Let me tell you I wish I should have started earlier leaving my grays out. Is fashionable but most of all my hair looks fuller and healthier.
It's been about 7 weeks since my last (and I do mean LAST) color. I have decided to make the transition from super dark brown to my natural grey. Thank you for the encouragement. You said something I hadn't considered before - you'll only go through this journey once so honor it! I love that!
I absolutely love your gray hair with the dark eyebrows! You look amazing and so classy!
I was almost there and I dyed my hair. I really wish I had waited. I'm watching this video the same day I dyed it. Great advice and I learned my lesson this time. Thank you for sharing your experience. You are so beautiful. Blessings to you.
Thank you for this! Today I had the last of my "fake color" cut off. It was so liberating and I am loving the new shorter silver look.
This is a great video. I don’t want to dye my hair anymore and your advice to cut it short and go with the flow. I’ve had my hair cut short before and it was a carefree feeling. I want to embrace my gray hair. I will honor this journey. I know it will be a shock but I want to embrace who I truly am. This was the best advice. I think I got away with looking young for 70 years, now is the time to embrace who I really am...a wise old woman and I can still look attractive and feel good about myself. Thank you this video which has lead me to self-discovery and self-love to embrace who I really am.
Just stumbled upon your video and I’m so glad I did. I am in my mid-30s and well on my way to going gray. I know that I will love myself and be comfortable with it, but there is still a lot of insecurity I feel, especially in light of my marriage and also in my job. I will be subscribing so I can receive encouragement and also develop my self-confidence so that I can encourage others to do the same. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I've decided to finally ditch the hair color and was last in a salon May, 2021. I will be turning 60 in 8 days and thought long and hard about this. But I really feel ready, I feel like I can own this and totally rock my naturally gray hair. Wish me luck!!!
You look beautiful, I was using henna on my greys, at 55 I've decided to stop, I'm starting to love my grey. It makes my face look so different. What you're saying is so encouraging. Thank you 😊💖👍
Thank you for all your positivity, and I love the idea of documenting my 'going Grey' journey! You are such an inspiration to all of us who are just starting out on the journey. Blessings to you. And your hair looks fab!
Thank you for sharing. Wisdom beyond your years!
Hi Nikol, Im a grey girl from Berlin, Germany, since there are so few woman with (authrntic) grey hair posting here, Ive come to watch your stuff.
My grey always reminds me I want to be me. Thanks for your expertise!
I just watched this a second time. Nikol you are so uplifting and inspiring. Thank you. I'm 57 years old and 4 months into my transition. I thought that I would have more gray/silver hair than I do. Most of my grays are on top of my head with not that much around my face or underneath. I'm S&P with mostly pepper but you know what...I love it. This way I'll get to see myself with my natural S&P and then watch myself grow gray gradually. I'm mostly loving this journey but do have occasional days of "omg my hair looks a wreck". Luckily my husband and children are supportive.
Listening to you has given me the courage to stick it out and not dye my hair anymore. I´m 53 and ready to embrace my age!
You are incredibly beautiful and love your hair!
When I went natural gray I got many compliments. My hair is healthy and bouncing. I love it
Great UA-cam. I am loving all the women choosing the option of going gray. I did it 3 years ago and will never go back. My family has been very supportive which has helped. Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you for the motivation!! I am three months in and the gray line down the middle is not that flattering, but I appreciate the encouragement and motivation! I hope my silver hair will look as good as yours. Thanks for everything. :-)
Low lights eased me into graying hair. Hair color did result in orange and damaged hair. I had my hair cut short and accepted my natural curl-iness. It is becoming silver and is very healthy. Nikki is making excellent suggestions and insights. I am beautiful as I am.
I decided last spring to quit coloring my hair. My hair was cut in a pixie and I knew it would be the most painless time to make the change. It was. So glad I've done it. Don't plan to ever color again. I'm salt and pepper with higher concentration around my face. I call it free highlights. So glad I saw your videos and others about making the change to gray.
Thank you so much, that’s just what I wanted to hear at this moment. I’m going through the growing out stage, and often think about dying it again, but now I’m even more determined to carry on. Thank you.
I'm in covid quarantine! The line of demarcation is the LEAST of my worries. I'm going to see this thru by cutting off a few inches of dark brown every few weeks. I'm healthy and this is my badge of honor! Thx for your work! I remember seeing your Mom's video. Wishing you both well.
I think you look stunning. I'm starting the transition, so I appreciate this video and will continue to refer to it when I need the pep talk. Thank you!
I wore pretty wigs to grow out my gray and I NEVER looked back!
How any one could put up negative comments to you are either blind or jealous! You're probably one of the greatest beauties on utube❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
When I first saw you on You Tube, I thought (about your hair and you, specifically)”My! Nikon is artistic! Look at her hair on its own! The way the white contrasts against the coal black! She’s an artist!” That was my very first, flash impression of you, Nikol. And as I followed you and learned more about you as a person, I found that you were a makeup artist, a model, etc., etc. And I was inspired to know more about you just because of your hair. By the way, you have inspired me to grow out my dyed hair and I am so excited at the mere aspect of doing this! Thanks Nikol and all the best to you!
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for your openness and words to wisdom that are motivational.
I NEEDED to read this today. Thank you!
Really an honest effort to help other people make the transition, but most importantly women need to support other women and truly anyone. Putting people down because of their personal choices will mean you will be treated the same sometime or the other. So treat others kindly! Be comfortable with who you are is a great message from this video. And Nikol Johnson, you are gorgeously beautiful! :)
Nikol, I'm so grateful for this video! I've decided to "ditch the dye" and "go natural". At 57 I can honestly say I'm looking forward to my salt and pepper hair color (I've been dying my hair since my 20s). I'll admit that I'm dreading the growing out stage and that line of demarcation but I'm going to do what you said and print out a few pics of ladies with beautiful gray/silver hair and hang them on my bathroom mirror for encouragement. Again, thank you so much!
I'm 57 too...before I started my gray journey I had lots of highlights put in...I have no line of demarcation...I'm 7 months in on my journey and I'm loving it...
How is it going?😁
I'm like you .. I just got tired of fighting the roots all the time and decided to let it go... I really had a hard time until it was long enough to cut off.. but when I got that last bit of color cut off it felt so good... I'm so glad I done it... I have a lot of compliments on my gray...
Just yesterday started the journey. Got massive highlights to help the transition. Really loving the look. I will come back whenever I feel like I can’t do it anymore.
I dyed my hair back in grad school and it was one of those home jobs. As I was rinsing it out, all I could think about was all the other people doing the same thing. All that hair dye going down the drain. It sorta freaked me out and I never did it again. Now for the last 7ish years the grey is coming in and is coming in slowly. I think it's pretty cool. Thanks for the video, you look amazing!!
I love it! I just cut my long hair, an yes! am going gray! It looks classic and refine...... Thank you!
I’m 32 and have decided to stop coloring hair and let my grays shine. My 82 year old grandmother, and all my maternal aunts dye their hair and they’re legitimately shocked that I’m embracing my beautiful hair. I actually get excited as more grays come in.
Thank you thank you thank you! About a year ago I told the wonderful guy who has been cutting my hair since 1987 that I was going to go grey. He said, “Oh, no. You’re not ready to go grey...” I said, “I’m not?” so I kept coloring it kind of half heartedly because I am ready to go grey and I really needed to hear your advice. It’s all good. I have watched other going grey videos but yours has given me a clear idea about how I feel and that it can be a great experience instead of something to fear or dread. 🙏💝
You look beautiful!!! 🌷🌷🌷 I love your hair and I'm letting my grays grow out! I'm so tired of dying my hair.I feel like it's time for me to let it rest now.It takes time and a lot of money to keep up.I'm so done.
You have really inspired me. I've just started this going gray journey and you are smart, confident and someone I want to emulate. There are some many emotions that I'm feeling regarding this process. Thank you for your wisdom!
