      Hi Rene 👋🏻☺️I came to your channel years ago when you decided to let it go grey and you inspired me to let my natural color show too.I was hoping to see my grey's fully emerge but unfortunately I barely had any"At 47yrs" but still had some and I was proud to have them .I truly can't imagine you without your grey's now cause they look so beautiful and so you.💕👑 My aunt who is in the early 70's still colors her hair blonde,when I asked her why she doesn't let her grey's grow in she says the blonde makes her more youthful..lol 😅 I told her I don't know how she does it for so long ,coloring her hair every few weeks ...that must be so tiring .When my grey's start coming out more I'm just going to embrace them and do my best to let them shine"Hopefully" .😎✨ ✍🏻Oh and on the long hair vs short ; It all depends on how well they take care of it I think.I have seen not so healthy looking grey hair " long and short" it's dried out, frizzy and yellowed with split ends too.I think with grey hair it needs more tlc right ?

      Well, if that first gray hair crosses the line into old age status, and deems me ready to eat supper at 3:30pm, then I was officially a part of the elderly crowd at age 32 when my beautician found the very first gray strand. She pulled it out per my request---I later taped it to an index card, noting the discovery date. Fast forward 29 years, I now have a head mostly filled with somewhat kinky hairs in shades of white, gray and silver. It'll be OK until I decide to color it again. In the meantime I wear stylish hats which have gotten me numerous sincere compliments, each one unsolicited.

    I just have to say as a grey hair sister, I needed to hear this today. There are times when I feel like maybe I should go back, maybe I do look old. But then I ask my husband and he says, " I like your hair now, don't change it". I am so glad you did this video, you have once again talked me off the ledge and encouraged me again that this is the real me and I should embrace it. Thank you, I am so glad you are here on you tube, I just love you and your family and all your videos. Have a wonderful week.

    Renee I love this video!! Encouraging women to embrace their natural beauty, and not to hide behind fake coloring is honorable. When the world is telling us it’s not good to be older, to be gray, and you should fight it with all you’ve got, your attitude is contrary to the worlds. I love it because such an attitude embraces who we each are as individuals, and helps us appreciate our uniqueness. Each of us has been made with individual talents and gifts. Appreciating our unique self is the best mental health strategy I’ve ever heard. You are beautiful just as you are Renee. Thank you for pointing out that we can each admire our special gifts, and not striving to be like all the other girls. Thank you Renee. You are an amazing gift. Love ya!!!

    I support everything you say. I went grey some years ago and have never looked back. It's not a particularly pretty grey but my hair is so much healthier than when I dyed it, it looks shinier and nicer. I also stopped worrying whether people would judge me by my age!

  • @marcialemaster8684

    I agree. I used to say I did’t feel like myself if I didn’t dye my hair red. Then my circumstances changed and I couldn’t afford to color as often. Then the salon had to close for 6 months. When she reopened I decided to embrace my natural color. She had taken the 6 months to learn new things and she did an amazing job of coloring my old hair to blend into my new hair. It has now grown out and I love it. So far all the grey I was afraid of turned out to be beautiful highlights around my face. I get so many compliments. Now I think the old red color was just a costume I wore because I feel more like myself than ever. And you are right, my hair has never been healthier than it is now.

  • @janhankins911

    I, like my father, started going grey when I was in my mid-twenties. I couldn't abide thinking I could be totally grey by the time I hit 30, so I started coloring it. I tried to get as close to my natural color as possible (I was a redhead), but could never really achieve that natural color (nor could I ever really achieve a color that looked "natural"). I kept coloring my hair until my accident (I fell down our stairs and was severely injured). I couldn't really color it then (in the hospital) and my skin really aged due to a lot of the medication I was on. So I decided to never go back to coloring my hair and I now love my grey hair. I did do the "big chop" method (had my color cut out--it only took two months to get rid of all the color), but that isn't for everyone. I'm glad I did it that way, but not sure I'd do it that way again! At the time, I was wearing my hair short anyway, so it wasn't like I went from long to short, I went from short to very short! I don't think my hair ages me (and I get a lot of compliments on my hair), but (unfortunately) my skin does. The grey goes better with my "older" skin now and as I've gotten older (I'll by 67 in October!!), I've become more accepting of myself as I am (petite, grey hair, wrinkly skin, scars, and all). And while I care less about what others think of me, I still do like to cover my scars. People do "look" when they aren't covered--and I don't think that these people are meaning to be rude. It's just human nature to look at something unusual, that you don't see every day. But around my friends and family (and my doctors), I don't care about showing the scars because they don't notice them any more.

    I think you made the right decision! It's not having grey hair that makes one appear old. People think of you as younger because you seem to have such a positive outlook on life, are full of energy & have a good sense of humor! Life hasn't beaten you down & made you sour! I'm pretty sure that's why so many of us enjoy & look forward to your videos!!

You were so instrumental and had such a positive attitude about going grey that I decided to do the same. My hair grew out to a beautiful silver that is much healthier and often gets complemented. I still wear it in an edgy bob cut and have fun with the latest fashions. Thank you for making this video and reminding all of us that grey hair doesn't make you look old.

    Good video, Renee. You’re a rockstar. Your hair is beautiful and I love hearing about how good it makes you feel.
    I have the opposite story though. To me, colouring my hair is not about being afraid to show our natural hair colour. I have reddish brown hair and, since I was young, in my head I always saw myself with dark brown hair. When I started colouring my hair I finally felt like myself and looked like the self I always pictured.
    I went back to my natural hair colour during the first two years at the height of the pandemic (hair salons were closed in Canada for a long time) and hated every minute of it. Reverted back to dark brown as soon as that was possible. To me, embracing your true self does not always mean just accepting the genetic cards we’ve been dealt but rather pursuing what we feel is our BEST self.

      If that's your choice and you feel better about yourself, go for it! I just don't want women to think they "have" to color their hair and that it's just 'part' of getting older. But if you like yourself with a different hair color, you go girl!

I hit 70 this year and I've found it's your attitude about life that ages you not your hair color. People I meet are frequently surprised about my actual age and comment I look to be more in my 50s. P.S. I also need to thank my mom for the great genes when it comes to aging.

    Thank you Renee! I am 27, a couple of years ago I ditched dyes and bleach and have been using henna to give my hair strength and shine while keeping pretty much my natural colour. I see such a change and henna makes my curls thicker. I often wonder whether I will henna over my grey/whites as I get older cause I’m already growing a few, but your videos have made me feel so much more relaxed with the ageing process of my hair. You look super cool!

    This is so timely!! I have been contemplating going "natural" for a couple of years now, and I have been asking my husband of 32 years all kinds of questions. WELL, he made the statement YOU realized yourself, about my hair not matching my skin, at the age I am now, turned 60 in Sept of last year. Makes perfect sense!! I haven't decided WHICH avenue I'm taking to go natural, but I do NOT plan to color my roots as I have for the last 20yrs....I also have naturally curly hair by the way!! Excited & apprehensive!!!!!! Going to watch more of your grey hair journey videos!! Thank you!!

    Love, love, love this video! I have been Grey for 5 years now and I love it. I used to get three colors on my hair....I loved it at the time but I just got tired of it. So, I'm like you I have imbraced my grey! You are so beautiful Grey curls and all, I hope more women take your advice and go natural. Way to go! 😃

    Renee you hit the nail on the head. I went through the exact same thing at the age of 62, thinking why do I look harsh all of the sudden? So I decided to let my hair go gray and truly you were instrumental in helping me make that decision cuz I've been with you for years. After I was fully gray, 2 years later,I was at the dentist and he said to me, "I don't say this to too many women your age but you're still really pretty." Voila! I'm 65 now and never look back.

    Yes!!! Once you make the decision to look great for your age, that happiness and contentment shows up in your face. I love your videos! You certainly gave me the extra boost I needed at the 1 1/2 year mark-it took me two years as well to fully transition (My Hairversary is March 13, 2020!). “Chasing the stripe” was so stressful that the freedom of never having to worry about it ever again shows up in how you carry yourself and how you act. Plus I love my natural color! I do not love my “summer hair texture” though-as Kentucky humidity wreaks havoc on my thick, fine hair, and I don’t want to use excessive heat to try to tame it, lol.

    About three years ago I just got fed up with the whole vicious circle of trying to get rid of the gray. My dye jobs only lasted a few weeks before the gray roots were back and the fading color gave my hair an orangey tinge, and these were expensive salon jobs. I am saving a ton of money and time I spend doing more worthwhile things than smelling chemicals in a salon chair. I find longer hair like yours that is gray/silver is a really pretty look.

    Thank you Renée, the message of this video moved me deeply.
    I have a short pixie cut and my natural colour is a coppery brown, now 'withening' with strands of white hair and sometimes, it irritates me and l would like to colour it. But the last time, my hairdresser left a fine part of a white fringe on my bangs on one side charmingly longer and accentuated somehow the whitening process gracefully cheeky.
    Yes, your grey/white curly hair does look pretty good on you🌼🌷🌼

    I was attracted to your channel just days ago, when you were talking about your health and how you had tried intermittent fasting (something that was super helpful for me as a diabetic), but also I couldnt miss your beautiful curly gray hair! I love it (wish I could I do something with my straight, thin, fine hair) but most of all you have a very vivacious, energetic and inspiring spirit that flows out of your heart ❤.

    Your hair is beautiful! I stopped coloring my hair and to my surprise it was snow white and I love it ! Everyone tells me they like it and just the other day I had a comment on it being pretty. I need to get a new picture of my snow white hair instead of the one you see now.

  • @glampergirl4495

    Renee, your hair is beautiful just the way it is right now. When you first went gray, I decided to do the same. Unfortunately, my gray looked horrible! It was not a very pretty gray like yours. Not everyone has genetics for that beautiful gray and I was sad but I’m glad I saw what my real hair looks like at 60 years old. It was not right for my skin tone. So, I started coloring it again and I am much happier. If I had beautiful hair like you I would definitely rock the gray!!!

    Hi Renee! I’m 56 and I’ve been highlighting my hair for years. My natural color is a light brown. I have a lot of blonde highlights. What you said is true. I’ve just been afraid it would make me look older to go natural. Idk how much gray I would have. Your hair looks great on you and you don’t look older at all. I love the curl in your hair as well. Thank you for this video. Women that are afraid to go natural need to watch this. Love your videos Renee. Have a great day!

    Renee, you are blessed with so much which includes (but not limited to) a youthful body, mind and spirit. Hair is always negotiable and you took ownership of that, which is awesome and commendable! I shaved my head out of being done with the lies of the dyes and NEVER regretted it! (wish I could post a pic here). Thanks for being brave and bold and a pleasure! - Laura

    Renee, I have been following you since you began your grey hair journey…. I have listened to so many people explain exactly what you and Randy said!…This is by far, the BEST video and advice I have ever heard on the subject…. Your hair in my opinion just keeps getting more and more beautiful as time goes on.. YOU were the most influential person in my decision to go Grey… you encouraged me in the comments, until one day you said, just do it!..I just turned 66 and I honestly never looked better!…it has been 29 months so far and my hair is still changing as you said!…you are quite an influencer, Renee, about SO many things!..thank you for this profound video!..you gave me so many answers to so many of my questions to myself!..the line in the sand is the KEY for me!…thank you so very much for being you, sharing everything you do, sometimes I don’t think you realize just how much you and your family and your channel change lives!…please thank Randy as well for his opinions and analogy on this subject!…love you Renee!..you look and are, spectacular!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜

    Renee, As long as I have watched you in your transformation and said, NOPE! I won't go grey yet, I am 60 and my hair is to the middle of my back, layered and I have always cut and colored my hair with brown, blonde highlights and have for the last several yrs. allowed the grey in but not completely. I THINK you may have just pushed me over that line into enjoying my long layered big hair by letting it be natural. Here I gooooooo! Thanks!

    Love this! I have gone gray, too. I have been told that women are now paying for the color I am now. I've been lucky like you to have other color mixed in with my gray so it looks like highlights. I've got some cool copper looking streaks tha I never would have thought I'd get!
