Thank you. Great tidbits. When I pull my hair back I see lots of white and darker gray. When it’s down I still have so much dye that has a yucky orange hue. The end of June 2022 was the last box dye. Some days I don’t even think about how my hair looks and other days I don’t like it. But I’m not giving up. Always enjoy your videos. Have a great day.
I hope everyone comes around to loving their gray hair! I have a fair complexion so thought gray would be horrible on me but it is so much more flattering than my formerly dark brown dyed hair. It is so healthy looking and I LOVE not having roots to deal with. Listen to Katie and be patient for all the dyed hair to grow out. I was absolutely amazed how beautiful it was when fully gray!!
That's exactly how I felt, Eileen! You just have to get through the growout period and that's hard for a lot of people because they can't imagine the amazing results.
Your hair looks beautiful, lustrous, and healthy Katie. I must watch your product usage video next. For me, I'm mainly gray from roots to mid-length with a brownish color on the ends. It's very thick, coarse, and choppy on the ends. My challenge is finding a stylist who is versed in gray hair care for women of color (kinky texture) as so far I've not lucked up on. I don't see myself ever going back to dying it due to the newfound freedom I'm experiencing not to mention men complimenting me on it often. I didn't realize just how much I was spending money and time-wise and being at the mercy of a professional. Anyway Thanks for the inspiration to keep going on this amazing journey and for sharing your milestones as well. Btw, you have a lovely abode, and your dog is adorable.👍🏾😊💕
Thanks, Carla! This made my day. I'm sorry you're having trouble finding a stylist who understands your type of hair care. But I'm glad that you are enjoying the newfound freedom and all the other benefits of going gray!
Not knowing what my hair is going to be like is what I find interesting. I'm 20 weeks post colour. You are an inspiration for those difficult days ahead. 🦋😊
I'm so glad! And you might be surprised to find that you won't have any difficult days - maybe I'm remembering everything with rose-colored glasses but I found the whole transition fun!
I love these tips! I’ll check out the links! I love your hair long! It’s beautiful. I’m sure shorter will be beautiful too for a change. I’m partial to long hair so I say don’t take off a ton. Maybe gradually shorten it. Just an idea. Thanks for this helpful video!
For me, I wasn't nearly as grey as I thought but mainly the texture was impossible to deal with! The grey was super frizzy, wavy and dry & nothing I tried helped it. It was super fragile and breaking off-using any heat tools was completely not possible if I wanted any length (I have always had long hair, not giving that up). I realize now that grey hair is much more dry and must be cared for differently, so if/when I try again (I made it two whole years last time) I will be better prepared to care for it. Right now I am using all natural henna to dye it with for the time being.
My hair is completely white and I hate it. When I have outdoor pictures taken in sunlight, it completely disappears. I want to go to a super-light blonde, just to give it some depth. I'm going to use a temporary color, because I don't want to damage it any more than possible, plus my hair thinned a lot during COVID, and a darker color will make my scalp show through more while it grows back in.
Find a hair stylist who you can work with. I did, after many years of hit and miss hair experiences. My hair color is salt and pepper, and he WILL NOT COLOR IT. (never asked for a color, he mentioned it at my initial consultation 10 years ago.

Yes! A supportive and knowledgeable stylist is a MUST!
Dang it...get a wig!!! Wigs now days are beautiful. So realistic.
Who should get a wig? If you mean women who are transitioning, I mentioned that as an option ;-). It's a great solution for sure!
Will not let my hair get gray. I'm 68.
Nobody will force you to - it’s a very personal choice.
