I am 55 and haven't colored my hair in a year due to health issues. When I see people I haven't seen in a while..they are SHOCKED at the salt/pepper color. My beautician and other women tell me they LOVE the different shades of color..saying it is gorgeous. I, on the other hand, am having a hard time with it. I thank you for helping me embrace my hair. 💙
Your Hair is gorge. When I first went natural (around 5 years ago) a guy asked my friend if I was her mother. Then another person asked me if I was a child’s grandmother. I had to grow a thick skin quick. But I now try to help others embrace their gray. Now that I don’t give a crap with people think, it makes life easier.
Yessssss, love this!
I got more men checking me out with white hair than I ever did with my darker hair color.
Great video Tennille! You are a beautiful woman. I started going gray at 17, stopped coloring my hair at 40 and now I'm 58 and have never looked back. Maintaining a youthful spirit and keeping your style slightly edgy makes all the difference between being a silver fox or looking matronly. Keep inspiring!
Thank you darling. I totally agree 🖤
Your hair gray hair is beautiful 😍
Your gray hair is beautiful 😍
Thank you so much 😀
Most women I've seen with salt pepper hair are gorgeous to me. I've always said when my hair comes in, I'm going to embrace it. This year it's coming in and it makes me happy. I'm 42. I just had a hysterectomy and I feel like I'm going through some changes. I'm embracing the changes. You look Gorgeous.
I am so glad I found your blog, IG and YT channels! I started greying from I was about 15 and I'm now 48 with two girls (aged 15 and 11). At 9:07 when you mentioned people seeing white hair being attached to a more mature face, it reminds me of one gentleman who told me years ago that I looked like two persons in one. He said that because when he checked my face, I looked young, but when he looked at my hair, he was viewing an older person. Lol
Many persons have asked me if I coloured my hair (to have the salt-and-pepper look) because they know I am not a senior citizen. Some just look and it's like I can read the question in their heads, but they don't ask.
Like you, I've never dyed my hair and never will! I have embraced my greys from the very first one--which was so long ago, I can hardly remember. I got the trait from my mom and she is my BIGGEST fan. I've always said that if I dye it, I would be sending her to an early grave. Even I don't love my hair like my mother--and I lloooveeee my hair.
I've never met you mom, but I already love her! 🖤🖤
Muturing Gracefully AND I Love My Grey.
I'm 21, not even close to greying yet. But I've always wanted grey hair. Your white hair is gorgeous
I’m getting my first gray strands at 29. This video put me at ease.
Yessss gray hair is beautiful darling! 🤗
I may cry. I stumbled across your channel accidentally and then saw you do videos talking about your hair. I'm also in my 40s with pretty much all white hair. I wish I was able to rock it as well as you do, but you've definitely inspired me!
The decision to embrace white hair is an emotional journey. Always remember that your hair doesn’t define your beauty. As someone mentioned above, embracing your white hair is mindset. You’ll know when you’re ready. Sending you lots of love ❤️
I have silver hair and I just decided to do it in my 44th year. Like you, my grandmothers were my inspirations and I always thought of them so beautiful. I like being me and once I got through the short phase I embrace this look!
Your hair is amazing. I am finally growing my curly white hair out after dying it for so many years. So glad I found your Instagram page you are certainly helping me through my journey. Thank you ❤️
Breathtakingly beautiful. Lovely white hair and information!!! Beautiful
Thank you so much!
Just found you! ❤️ I am a curly girl going grey. I always said I would embrace my grey. You are my new inspiration!!
Yay, good for your darling! 🥰
Yes, it has been a while. Thank you for coming back. Amen
Awww love you darling! Thanks for watching 😘
I love your hair soooooo much. I can’t even tell you how fabulous I think it looks. And the way you completely accept yourself is inspiring and just so wonderful. ✨🥰
THANK YOU so much for creating this channel. I wish their were more women of color speaking positively about white hair, its needs. Fashion, make-up that great but self esteem in these times is so critical. With self love everything is possible.
You are so welcome! I totally agree. I love normalizing and changing the perception of grey hair. Grey hair is BEAUTIFUL 🖤🖤
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much
This is SOOOO good! Thanks for sharing! Max from the, "Catfish" television show rocks his grey confidently.
-It's a mindset!
🌸✨🤗SHINE on❣️🌞
Glad you enjoyed it! I agree darling, it IS a mindset!
Thanks for sharing! I just went out today and purchased 2 boxes of perm hair color. After watching I’m going to hold and rethink. I highlighted my hair a few years ago but not due to white hair. Now I’m 44 and want to cover my white hair. My dads side has beautiful white hair. I have embraced it thus far but more and more is coming and thoughts changed. I washed and blow dried it yesterday and loving the texture without flatiron. 💞💞
Love the video! You’re hair is glorious 🥰. I started greying around twenty-something and began coloring my hair. One day in my late 40’s early 50’s I felt the expense was too much and stopped coloring. It was a little rough seeing the grey, but I said I was going to embrace it! So now at 57 I am looking forward to my salt than pepper. I tell women who want to stop coloring their it’s a process and you have to be ready to embrace you emotionally and mentally. I’m so glad I am at this stage where I have accepted the inevitable and loving it! 🥰
Isn't it liberating! So happy for you darling 🖤🖤
I love this video! I'm 54 and have worn my natural hair since 2006 and have let my salt and pepper grow in naturally. I have not thought about dyeing it nor has my family or beautician encouraged it. I'm NOT a Grandma either. 😃 Love watching US stand in our natural hair. Your words are spot on! Those who are ready come on. Those who are not it is okay. ❣ Be Confident Ladies!!
You are beautiful🥰Your hair is healthy & gorgeous 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
🥰
I agree with everything you said regarding white hair and inequality. I can't wait to go full white as if I've got snow on my head. Love your attitude. Keep it up.
You look naturally Gorgeous!!! Work it!!
Your hair is beautiful, I am trying to embrace my salt and pepper hair and I am in my early 60's, I have not seen my older sister in months and she does not believe that I have salt and Pepper hair Lol! My niece who is in her late 50's is starting to embrace her gray hair now and she is much grayer than I am. Thank you for giving us confidence.
That's wonderful! 🖤
Thanks for the positive comments on gray hair. I have embraced my gray hair and it is very freeing. You look beautiful and so do I.
Yes, you are!! 🖤
Sis, I have your pics and other Salt N Pepper ladies, on my Pinterest page. To keep me motivated! Thank you for allowing your image to be shared and adding to my collage! Thank you for representing the platinum/white/gray and salt n pepper ladies out there!
Awww thanks for this message. I love representing my salt and pepper sisters! 🥰
You are an elegant beauty!
Wow, thank you!
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous and you rock it with confidence!
🥰
You and your hair is absolutely beautiful!!! I hope that when my hair turns grey that it is beautiful shades of grey like yours! The way you explained your grandmother, I can tell you inherited all her beautiful traits that you expressed.
I'm 60 and your gorgeous and you have a baby face so no matter what color your hair is you will always have a youthful look. God bless and continue success to you.
Personally, I subbed to your channel b/c I liked your hair (shrugs) I have been going gray since my early 30's and I LOVE all of my grays. I'm with you Sis...IDGAF about what anyone thinks about my hair or me... I have always marched to my own drum. :) Cheers and Hugs from Texas!
OMG love you darling! We are kindred spirits 😘
White hair is beautiful my kids father started having them at 15 👍🏽 My white hair started coming in at 28 thanks for sharing 🤗❤️
Beautiful!!
@@TheTennilleLife it’s soo pretty and unique
Darling your white hair is fabulous. I’m natural myself and I dye/highlights my hair red because I’m obsessed with red hair even being a black woman and so I’m with you, love your life your way, that’s what I do.
I think I have another 15years to go until my hair is fully white & gray, and I can’t wait! You are absolutely beautiful! Thanks for bringing positivity in accepting our natural beauty at ALL stages of our lives. 🙏🏾Many blessings to you!
Yesss, love this message!!
I am 56 and no longer dye or do keratin. I don’t really have a lot of grays but it has been emotional getting used to my naturally wavy hair. I am used to my hair looking polished and straight and it isn’t easy getting used to a more relaxed look. It helps that my husband loves my wavy hair. I don’t look at white hair negatively. What I think looks very aging is that line of demarcation when the dye starts to grow out. Better to embrace our natural hair color. You figured it out at a young age. You look fabulous.
I love that your husband loves your natural hair! 🖤🖤
I have been dying my hair since I was 17 and I'm older than you now. I just started letting it grow out. I'm trying to see the beauty in it. It's hard but like you said.. what choice do I have. I am going through a medical situation that has been long and demanding so my white hair is not a focus. Now I'm coming onto the healed side and I wanna wear my long curly hair out. So, I just do it and try my best to make it and myself look as presentable as possible and it's not so bad. Being dark skinned with jet black hair and pure white hair on my forehead and sprinkles on my sides gives me anxiety but, I ignore it. I dont wanna spend anymore time hurting myself because I'm allergic to dye. I put up with thinned edges and swollen tongue red eyes and skin blisters just to not look old. Lol the things we do to ourselves. I was a model when I was 14 and it was hard to get work bcus I was dark and thick. Then came white hair not a few a whole patch like paint was poured onto my face over night. So yea I had an ugly unhealthy hate for aging and white hair.
I don't think she does but she does have a website: grombre.com/
I started going grey in my senior year in high school and I immediately started dying and perming my hair with my Mama’s encouragement, she hated her greys. For decades I did this and my hair was in terrible shape. When I entered my 40s I’d had enough and went natural. My hair is healthier than it’s ever been and I love it. I never dyed my hair to hide the grey, I dyed it to make everyone around me feel comfortable.
I love your white hair, and at 40 I'm just starting to get white hair. I think you should do a video of you with black hair dye + silk press... Just to see how you would look like...
But, I am seriously thinking about letting it be white ( me)... 💕🤔
OM Goodness, I love your hair. My cousin began getting her white hair when she was in high school. By the time she was 20 she was nearly all white and now at 40ish she is totally white. I have always loved her hair. Me on the other hand I did not know I had white hair. I am 69 years old (my picture is from a few months ago). I have been dying my hair non stop since I was 16. Then around 20ish I transitioned into wigs and then in 2014 I discovered Protective styling (crochet braids, twist, curls). About 2 years ago I decided I would no longer color my hair, but I continued with the Protective styles. 2 weeks ago I was shocked when I washed my hair and found it was nearly all white. I took pictures, I played in it I styled it...I was elated that my hair is white. I had just never saw my hair like this. I absolutely love it. I still do braids, but now I buy grey hair. I have visited your channel before, but today I subscribed, I thank you for sharing, you inspired me to stop coloring my hair.
You're do right on women with white hair compared to men ...so true ..
I had someone tell me just recently I need to color my white hair I’m 50 and I love my white hair it’s only in the front but I love it not gonna color it so people don’t ask
Chara Harris People who make negative comments are usually coming from a place of their own insecurity. You are probably killlin’ it with that white hair! I am 48 and transitioning and I have people tell me “you’re too young to go grey”. Girl, please!
Your white hair is beautiful...don't let anyone tell you different! 🖤
Great video! You're beautiful sis! I'm 38 with slight greys coming. Did the cutting thing a while back...will not color it so I'm getting used to it. At some point I will color but I feel like the culture makes us self-conscious to have our hair this way. Idc no more lol I'll do what I wish and if you like ot then great lol. I'm confident now. I march to my own beat too but as a natural hair mixed BW, it was hard at first going natural with greys especially after wearing weaves in my 20s, early 30s.
Yesss, I love your confidence!!
So glad I found this page ❤
Hi my daughter is 42 and she has a full head of white hair. She was getting grey hair in her teens. She gets it from my husband's side of the family. My grey hair really came in my early 60's. I was coloring it for awhile. Then I just stopped fighting the grey hair and just accepted it. Your hair beautiful and so are you.
Your hair is GORGEOUS and so are you!! 🖤
It took me a while but I love my grey hair. I love the variety of its tones, like film noir...
This is so encouraging! Your curly white hair is so beautiful! And your face and skin look so youthful - it’s intriguing! My natural hair is quickly growing gray and this is a great motivator to embrace the changes! 👌🏾👏🏾
You will look beautiful with white hair!
Just found your channel!!! I am so excited and really enjoy your content!!! Thinking about dyeing my hair gray and I love your hair it's so beautiful!! Blessings Always
Hi! Thank you for this video! I started getting my gray hair at 19. Out of 5 kids Im the only one who took after my dad, who was peppery by 18.
Your hair is GORGEOUS!
@@TheTennilleLife what do you do to keep your hair from getting brassy?
Thank you you are too cute, smart, youthful, intelligent, and your own woman. I like that about you. You look MARVELOUS!! 😁🙂
Signed,
turning gray lol.
You are fabulous and classy. GOD made you absolutely perfect.❤
Watching this because @ 27 I’ve noticed about 6 gray strands . And you have motivated me to not dye my hair . And by reading the comments , I would just be delaying the inevitable . And I don’t want the two-color thing going on when the one day comes that I want to stop color treating .
It looks Soo good 😍
thank you 🥰
Gray hair doesn't make every body lool old ur hair is gorgeous
I appreciate this. I’m in my late 40s and I’m growing my gray’s out. Folks are recommending I dye it bc I still seem youthful. I really just want to embrace it. I’m trying! I think you’re beautiful and so is your hair. Has this impacted your dating life? Can you share more about that experience?
Beautiful hair Beautiful you Enjoy what you have.
Thank you so much 🤗
I love your hair, and u wear it beautifully.
Oh thank you!
During quarantine I had like 3 different Colors in my hair- I could not deal with it so I actually just shaved off my hair and colored it platinum to cover the nasty brown ends- hopefully it helps the silver grow in more evenly because I could not deal!! I turn 40 next month and I am done!! Been Coloring my hair since my 20s 😖
Good for you darling. It is so liberating to embrace your grey!
Good Content love this topic ❤❤❤❤thanks
Hi, how old are you and what does your diet consist of? You look amazing!💕
Hi darling! I'm 42 and eat primarily a plant based diet. 💕
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
42!😳😳😳😳 this whole time I thought you were like in your late 20s early 30s!
🥰🥰
P. S. This auto correct spelling has used different words BUT y’all get my POINTS ❤️💯
I thought you dyed your hair grey in a trendy way. You look very young 😍😍😍
I just started...May 2020...my birthday month...to stop chasing the grey. I have never embraced it. Always fighting it. Well, now I am interested to know what it will look like. My mother was grey. Grandmother was grey. I am not that old, but it should be an interesting journey. Your hair is gorgeous!
That's so exciting! Good luck with your new hair journey 🖤
You look beautiful
We start to give off old lady or mom vibes. I got my first white hair at 15 years old. It has only gotten more white across the front the older that I have gotten. I refuse to dye it. I went natural in 2018 even though I have been natural on and off throughout my life.
You are so beautiful.. you rock
thanks beautiful!
What is your hair regiment? What products do you use?
I love your gray hair
Thank you darling!
You're so beautiful 🥰🥰
Thank you!!
I love your hair and like you I don't care what people think but I did the chop on my hair and I was Grey in my 20 also but dye and now I am trying to thicken it up again
thank you darling!
I to love my white gray hair but of lately it has been brown and I hate it I miss my gray hair and I don't know what to do about it
what is the best product to you when you have white hair
I share some of my favorite products here: ua-cam.com/video/U77ywfCM3wM/v-deo.html
What I don't like about my grey crown is the hard line to my dyed black hair, and I don't want to cut it! Ugh
The transition is the hardest part for many. Have you tried temporary root cover up? That might help you with hiding the growth until it gets long enough.
Do you know if the white hair support community has a UA-cam channel? I dont do other social media
I don't think she does but here's her website: grombre.com/
Just beautiful you are... wear that crown its simply gorgeous
Yes of course! I share my latest favorite products here: ua-cam.com/video/U77ywfCM3wM/v-deo.html
Been a min
I know darling, thanks for tuning in!
Do you have a perm
I was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago and my naturally curly colored hair was black. My hair fell out in clunks so I became bald very quickly. During the course of a year along with treatments it hit me like a ton of bricks that my hair is going to grow back grey or white. I didn’t feel good about that ☹️ I was about 23 when those white strands came in and I quickly colored it and has been coloring my hair ever since. 🥸 Now that I’m done with treatment my hair is growing back in vary shades of grey and white. A part of me wants to run screaming and get this hair colored but another part of me is curious as to keeping it grey/white just might be fun 😅 I looked up some styles on Pinterest that I liked but I’m just curious to see what my natural hair will do going forward. My hair has many textures the front and back being really soft and the middle of my head more textured.
Yesterday I opened up UA-cam and was drawn to you and your hair right away. Your hair is gorgeous and I love how you’ve always embraced. I always likened grey hair to my grandma in her flower house coat cooking for us kids and being old. That wasn’t a good look for me and when several years back when people were deliberately wearing grey in weaves and braids I didn’t get it 😳🤯
Now that I’m done with treatments and in my glow up phase I think I’m going to embrace my hair which by the way my mom always told me to embrace the grey and that she love my natural hair 🤫 don’t tell her 😂 but I’m going for it YAY!!!!!! For me 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾this should be exciting
