    We definitely need to normalize grey hair (as well as any other signs of ageing). Grey and silver hair is so beautiful and completely normal. Some people grow grey hair sooner than others, some really late or only grow strands of grey hair. It's a natural thing to happen❤

    Anyone thinking about ditching dye, seriously just try it!
    It looks stunning. I stopped using dye 7 years ago when I was 23 and had a fair few greys. I did it so I could let it transition much more subtly and I'm glad I did. 7 years later at 30 I have a ton of greys, even a couple of white stripes now and it's actually the happiest I've ever been with it. It's a gorgeous colour, I've always had almost black hair and blonde never suited me, but this grey/white is perfect and I don't look any older at all, that's a myth.
    My husband is also 28 and going grey like me, it's nice to literally see we are growing older together and sharing life ♥️.

    Sam, you saved the day & stopped the tears... I've given up coloring but today I looked at my hair & just cried. It doesn't style or look pretty the way it used to. I did the big chop from almost waist length to a tapered cut like you did, now it's Bob length... Your video encouraged me to hold tight, this too will change. I might have to watch it a few times today...lol

I’ve found quite a few white hairs since high school within my natural brown hair, but I think that makes my hair sparkle more. I’ve never dyed my hair and watching your video solidified my view that I’m never going to cover up my grays. God bless and have a wonderful day!❤️

    I feel like me seing your video was meant to be, I was born with grey hair. But they started showing a lot when I was 10 and they started bothering me when I was 13 so I started dying my hair to hide the grey. Now I’m 18 I’m slowly accepting my grey hair and finding it beautiful.
    And your video is making me accepting more.

    @TracyAllenVideos 4 роки тому +3

    Very beautiful and an inspiring story. A friend shared this video with me because your thumbnail made her think of me. I had breast cancer in 2017 and went through chemo and all of that. When my hair came back it was predominantly silver all over. I rocked the silver until my hair got longer and then I didn’t like that in between stage as it got thicker. But this year I turned 55 and decided to embrace it 100% ... and go beyond. I crochet braid half of it silver the other half black… Curly. People stop me on the streets to tell me how much they love my hair. I laugh because it’s crochet hair however it really is very similar to what my real hair looks like... my natural hair is not as long. And my mother is 70… Hardly any gray hair🤷🏽‍♀️ Again, BEAUTIFUL… Your spirit, your hair, and you. Thanks for doing this video, blessing🙏🏾💗

      @@Ap-mh4lc You can't buy boxed henna. Order online from an all natural place that does not add salts and chemicals. Get just the pure henna (only comes in red from nature, other "henna" colors are actually other plants, not henna) and add pure indigo (only comes in black/purple) to get different shades of black and brown. You have to mix the henna with something acidic (like orange juice or red wine) and let it sit overnight so the plant releases the color. Henna from Yemen covers gray, if that's what you're going for. Most others don't. Mehandi.com is the best resource for it. I've been ordering from them for years, even now that I no longer live in the U.S. They ship all over the world. I've written about natural beauty products for magazines for many years, so I've researched this a lot.

    I smiled the whole time 😊... Turned 30 this year and I had my first silver hair in 8th grade. About two years ago more and more silver and white hair showed up. I have my days I’m loving it, then others I’m like I’m an old mama 🙌🏽.... this is definitely inspiring because I too said goodbye to coloring my hair and I have just a bit of color left on my ends. I’ve been embracing my white hairs and can’t wait til the color is all gone! I always say people will either think I’m just young with white hair, or a Grandma with young skin... either way I’m cool 👩🏽‍🦳

I get compliments everyday from all types of people, men, women, black and white. Keep rocking yours and setting an awesome example for beauty.
