    Janice, you look really beautiful with your long, grey hair! Please don' t change anything! Your natural, classic , refined style is wonderful! And you look like a young lady!

    I need to say this: I love your hair! And I do not think it makes you look older, you look beautiful and it is really nice to watch your channel. I am 36 but I like classic, timeless style, that's how I found your blog. And I have recently stopped colouring my hair too and have some grey-silver strands and actually I like them very much :)

    I discovered your youtube channel not long ago and am going back watching some of your earlier videos, how wonderful that you took their critiques so well and went home and made your own decision! Love it! I often wonder about people who go up to someone and say things like that, I wouldn't even think to do that myself and don't understand anyone who would, you do not look 55! Love your hair! Thank you

    You look amazing and you definitely are one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen! My mum's hair is completely grey and shoulder length, it makes her look gorgeous. She is 67 but she's not old. Sometimes the beauty industry gives us wrong ideas about how we should look

      That’s true about the industry. My friend works at a beauty salon and she have to wear a wig to work because the owner of the salon does not want the clients to see a her grey hair which is beautiful.

    Thanks so much for posting this :) I've been really enjoying hearing from women who are older than me lately! It's nice to get a good perspective on life, beauty and our bodies as we age year by year. I'm only going to be 30 but just the changes from my early to mid 20's to late 20's soon 30's has been an adjustment. I'm learning how to get comfortable in my "literally" changing skin! I enjoy seeing videos like this because it reminds me that what is in front of me now is not all there is and to expect changes. It inspires me to learn to embrace those changes gracefully as you and so many other women have before me. Thank you for your confidence; which reassures the hearts and minds of many women I'm sure! Thank you for inspiring me to live freely and love myself no matter what stage of life I am in!

  • @JayceeCali
    @JayceeCali 8 років тому +1

    You are such a natural beauty, and seem to embrace the concept of aging gracefully (and accepting certain signs of aging that we all want to expunge). You have such a lovely and gentle spirit.

    • @JLJBackToClassic
      @JLJBackToClassic  8 років тому

      +JayceeCali Thank you, JayceeCali. I've had to work on not comparing myself to others and on changing my perceptions. It's amazing how conditioned we are to believe what the media and marketing companies say about women over 40...our bodies, skin, hair etc. Not nice! Thank you again for your kind words!! ~Janis

    Just subscribed this week after finding you. So glad I did! Besides your obvious outer beauty, there is a light that shines inside of you. You can see it in your eyes and your smile. You remind me so much of my sister who lives across the country from me. I miss her. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm with her in some small way. I love coming along shopping with you. Thank you for sharing the gift of these videos.

  • @connywonnie7971
    @connywonnie7971 7 років тому

    the reason why i subscribed your channel is: i was surfing thru youtube when i saw you, i just had to stop ... you are absolutely stunning and right then and there I said to myself that you are my role model for navigating me thru my new adventure of being in my 50's (i am 52). i am not as slim as you are, and my teeth are also not as beautiful (i am working on my weight that i put on since menopause and i will also get those chomppers fixed! lol) but the story with the grey hair resonated 100% ... i have long hair also and i stopped coloring it when i was 48 1/2 ... and i had the same reason!! i saw my grey hair (regrowth from coloring) shimmering in the sunlight and it was absolutely beautiful... so healthy and shiny... most people thought i should continue to color it chocolate brown, but i was done with it, and i am glad. My hair is long like yours and that was a point of contention for a lot of women too... always telling me to cut it. i am not going too! i love my hair long and grey and now that i see it on you, i am so happy i didnt give in!! :)
    I am happy happy happy, i found your channel!! Thank you for being so honest... this helps so much!!

    @janecard2060 6 років тому +2

    I think as we mature we need to become comfortable and confident in our choices of how we wish to look for ourselves and not to change for others.
    I also have long silver ash colored hair..and I too have been told I should color my hair.
    But I like ..really like my hair...so my hair stays exactly as it is..
    Your hair is beautiful.
    and I am glad you have decided
    to be "you".

    I’m just stumbled upon this video. I have seen quite a few others. The comments about your hair really struck a cord with me. I went through almost the same response from women when I was letting my gray grow out. I was between stylists and my husband suggested I grow it out. Women were somewhat less than kind. But men loved it. That was a response I never expected. Yours looks great. 😎

    • @JLJBackToClassic
      @JLJBackToClassic  7 років тому

      Hi, Pamela! Sorry I'm a bit behind in responding to your comment. I'm afraid the holidays do it to me every time! I just can't seem to get myself organized! And oh my goodness, how wonderful that your mother and grandmother carried Chanel. How lucky!! I bet they were gorgeous bags. I think it's so wonderful that you are choosing to be happy about the new color of your hair as time goes by. It's so much less stressful to embrace the change rather than fight it -- at least I think so. I appreciate your watching my video and leaving your comment. I hope you're have a wonderful New Year's weekend. Cheers ~ Janis

    Hi Janis,
    I have just recently discovered your blog and UA-cam site, I love your Vlogs especially.
    It’s so refreshing to see someone similar to my age on here!
    The gorgeous weather in Florida is a bonus because I live on the South
    Coast of England and we are only just hitting Spring and can you believe
    we had a snow shower yesterday?!?
    Totally unheard of at this time of year in the UK!
    Catching glimpses of your weather and local area, flowering trees, shops
    etc, is pure delight. I loved the way you showed us the food in your
    local health food store too, probably seems odd to you, but it’s just a
    lovely change for us in the UK to see something different to anything
    available here.
    A mini holiday break!
    Keep up the good work,
    Marina

    I’ve been trying to screw up the courage to stop tinting my hair (I’m 67). My Aunt who is only 13 years my senior did it in her late 50s and looked (and still looks at 80) much younger. Our skin alters to suit our aging hair (it doesn’t know we’re tinting it) so to wear our natural hair colour suits our aging skin colour.

    I loved learning more about you. We have quite a bit in common. Pink roses are my favorite flower, always cry at the end of You've Got Mail too, loved Downton Abbey and sad that it's finished. Of course the love of classic clothes and we're about the same age. I guess I'm curious if you have any children. Thanks for your video.

So many women fall into the trap of feeling as if they have to gain approval from others that they fail to stay true to their own thoughts and feelings. I am about to be fifty and I too have decided to quit coloring my hair. I am hoping that I will just smile and say thank you for your opinion to all of the "nay-sayers". lol!

    There are lots of ways to make grey hair sparkle and look gorgeous, so if you like your grey hair then the focus really should be how to make it look it's absolute best instead of how to cover it up. Once you do that, your grey hair will look so beautiful people will start stopping you to ask what you're doing to it or wish they had it!

    I've recently decided to stop coloring my hair. I was tired of the upkeep. Also, I earned every one of these gray hairs the hard way. Blonde hair may have made me look YOUNGER than I was, but as for the gray...damn, this is what 62 looks like on me, and it's not too bad!

    You are a beautiful woman. Your conversation with your friends in the store and your decisions that followed inspire me. I look up to you and the courage you have in being yourself. Bravo. I think they meant well like you said and were just trying to be helpful. Do you also cut your own hair or do you have a stylist for that? I am also growing out my hair and it is difficult to find a stylist who doesn't want to layer or cut my hair shorter. I like my hair long and straight.
    Thank you for your videos and blog, I really enjoy them. I appreciate the care you take in your videos and blog and the excellent content you provide. My husband and I enjoy Waterside Shopping (thanks to your vlog) on our trips to South Florida. I almost forgot. I really really like Scully and Scully. The cachepot I ordered is beautiful. The Herend mouse is also a treasure. Simply Beautiful.

    At 55, you’re glowing inside out! I’m 51 and I’ve been covering my gray hair with hair colour as the people around me at work (with no malicious intent) are “bothered” by it. I told myself that by 55, I will not cover up my gray hair anymore.

  • @estreetangel
    @estreetangel 6 років тому

    I really relate to the gray hair choice. You are gorgeous and I love your hair color and length.
    I'm about your age and I got sick of coloring my hair going on 10 years ago. I'd been coloring since my teens and I was sick of the damage, how fast the roots showed, and I had forgotten what my real color was so I decided to stop coloring.
    I was so surprised to see how gray and white I was! But IMO I looked much better. My eyes looked bluer and my skin looked more radiant with gray hair so even though my hair is an "old" color, I actually looked younger.
    I think in many cases Mother Nature knows best so rock the gray I say!

  • @Scully331

    Thanks for your thoughts about long hair! I have long (dyed) blonde hair at 55! It was at my tailbone, but i just had 5 inches cut. I wear it up in a bun most of the time at work, or a simple braid, nothing elaborate. I live in Savannah where the heat is too much for heavy long hair worn down, it needs to be up to be comfortable. But it comes down at home. When my hair dresser tells me I have enough gray coverage I am going to try it gray. Long hair is just my most natural comfortable way of wearing a style, and my husband loves it. Love your channel, thanks for sharing!

    • @JLJBackToClassic
      @JLJBackToClassic  7 років тому

      Anne, I so understand how comfortable the length is for you. Some of us just like having long hair. Maybe it's in our genes :-) What do you think of the new show shot in your lovely town!?

    HI Janis what a wonderful video I too was a huge Downton Abbey fan so sorry to see it go . Also "You've Got Mail " is one of my favorite movies too . I have fond memories of my Mom (Tom Hanks ) was her favorite actor ) and we would watch this movie together every time it was on .Your hair looks beautiful I think people just have a preconceived idea that gray equals old , when I like you and many other women see that once they stop coloring , highlighting etc their hair becomes healthy and shiny. Thank so much for this video . have a great week

It is definitely not like the hair commercials!! But it works for me :-) I appreciate your comment about your experience with letting your own hair be natural. It does take time to grow it out and see the positive difference and it is worth it. Thank you for watching the video! ~Janis

    Sooo glad I found this video because I really have been thinking about letting my hair go "natural"and give up endless trips to the hairdresser, which I do not enjoy now that it is so frequent. And just so you know I was attracted to this video because of how beautiful I thought you looked greg hair and all.It must be so freeing to stop colouring and I think I'm almost there, it's just the transition phase I don't want to deal with. Just started watching your videos over the last week and I really enjoy them:)

    • @JLJBackToClassic
      @JLJBackToClassic  7 років тому

      Hi, Cheryl! Oh my gosh, I understand how you're feeling! I felt the same way! The biggest challenge for me was letting go of what other people, including close friends, thought about me deciding to stop hiding my gray. I was lucky in that my husband was supportive of whatever I wanted to do. He just wanted me to be happy. Once I made the decision, I was ready to face the naysayers and not let it bother me. And you're right, it is very freeing to not have to worry about it anymore. Thank you so much for your kind compliment, and I so appreciate you watching my videos. When you are ready you'll be full steam ahead and I'm so excited for you! Cheers ~ Janis

    I let my grey grow out when I saw what a beautiful stripe of silver was on either side of my face in the front! I thought to myself that was so pretty & I wanted to see more. We too hv had furry babies & I love Downton Abbey...liked the classic movie YOU'VE GOT MAIL was based on instead. I remember COACH bags were just becoming a thing in late high school.

    I think you are so beautiful and your grey hair is lovely. I'm 58 and have been thinking more about letting my hair go grey (I've been coloring it for years), but I'm not sure how to go about it, without looking ridiculous in the process. I think it is an easier transition for someone with blonde hair....mine is dark brown.

    • @GrammyTapDancing
      @GrammyTapDancing 5 років тому

      All you need to do to go gray let your hair grow out is what I did owning a salon for 44 years I pulled my hair heavily through a cap or you could go and get it foiled very heavily to a white then let it grow out for the transition it's so easy using a purple shampoo

I saw one Episode and enjoyed it but we lived where they filmed The Walking Dead so Hubby and I were into that Show. We now live 20 minutes,(depending on Traffic) from historic Charleston and I love Southern Charm. I have a Classmate Friend who just had an invitation from Patricia Altschul to tour her Home with her Friends who came to Charleston. My Friend has a grand Plantation Home in another State.

    Hi, I just wanted to know if since deciding to go natural has it changed your clothing color palette? Just wondering if all the clothes in my closet will need to go to Goodwill? LOL
    I'm 54 and have been toying with the idea of going with my natural color hair. One of my friends told me the best way to go grey would be to cut your hair real short, then allow it to grow out, which sounds so dreadfully drastic to me. I, too, like my long hair. Another source suggested, another drastic method, in bleaching my whole head white then allowing the natural to grow in. The two drastic options, I believe would result with me in tears.
    I consulted with my hairdresser, who suggested weaving high and low light colors into my hair while it grows out, which sounds much more doable and less shocking.
    Thank you for sharing your journey! Love the sisterhood!
