That's great!

Wow, thank you!

I've already transitioned the colour by bleaching it out and toning it to grey. So far, so good. ;)

@@therenaissancewoman2080 I bet it looks really pretty 🥰

The grow out process takes so long and one looks for a smoother transition trough toners. We live and learn sometimes the hard way. Glad you've made it through to freedom! Revel in it!

@@therenaissancewoman2080 yes, for sure! I would have loved this grey hair yrs ago but was a bit too insecure to try it. it is pure freedom and joy.

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you

Oh thank you! Yes, the old shows were fun and memorable. It was time when life was simpler.

Thank you so much!

Getting past the root grow out takes time.

Thank you so much!! Stay posted!!

Thank you! You're on your way! Bravo!! Having long hair for some people is either a hit or it's a hindrance. I'm glad it's working for you. Hang in there and play around with some clothes, new colours, and beauty girly stuff! We need to hold onto our inner teenager! It's fun to play! Lol

That is so kind of you to say! She does have great hair styles.

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this video!!

Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you! Bravo for you! There is freedom after dyed hair!! Glad you dropped in. ;)

Glad it was helpful!

Your hair is beautiful and hope you can share when fully grown out😊

Thank you

Yes I am! It's freedom!

I think these days the very idea of grey hair is turning to become an acceptable idea. Women are embracing their grey more rather than dreading it. You have something to look forward to in the future ;)

Thank you

I was so close...

Funny the things we dare try. It's all a learning curve. It's so hard on teenagers going through so many adjustments. But we survived it!

Thank you! 😊

Good luck!

Thanks 👍

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you!

I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and thanks for subscribing! It takes patience through this process. Keep holding on! The awkward stage will come and go in no time. There's so many stages to go through it's not just about growing out the grey. It's the whole psychological process and wardrobe / colour change as well. It's almost like a cocoon process. Soon will emerge the next beautiful stage.

That's great you managed to get your hair doing what you like. For the lack of body, like mine, that is poker straight, it needs some help to add volume for sure. I won't contradict what you mentioned about the heat. Yes, heat can certainly damage the hair. Used minimally it's been fine for my hair. Natural dry with curlers would be the alternative option, which I've tried and failed because those darn curls don't do exactly what you'd like them to do. So far I've not had any heat issues to my grey for the occasional times I've used the iron. Long hair certainly needs more care to make it last longer and keep looking good. ;)

Btw, my hair dresser for ten years who was middle aged herself and dyed her own hair did not understand at all why I chose not to dye my gray hairs, so I found a new hair dresser for myself. This young, smart lady totally understands my values and choices. I'm so happy with her!

Thanks! I love the white silvery grey as it's growing out. Hold onto your grey! Once you've grown it out embrace it and enjoy the beautiful of it.

We never know until it grows. Then you can play and have fun!

Thank you :)

I'm glad you fee inspired! Oh, long hair is so beautiful. Do hold on, you will be so glad you did. I prefer to put it up and style it in various ways to help through the transition.

my hair is darker than yours thanks for sharing.

Long dark hair is such a challenge in the long haul. To get over those first months I would just put it up in some up-do to make it less noticeable. I did not wear it all down until after the one year mark.

Great salon advice. I'm looking forward to seeing your full transition! 😘

Wow, thank you!

It was a step of trust and faith in what the hairdresser promised me... Like I said in this video, I had no idea how it would ultimately turn out. Today, the video is released to see the results.

That is the fastest and easiest way to deal with grow out! I'm sure many will find it refreshing!

Stay tuned for what happens next...

If you're experiencing thinning I would consider consulting a naturopathic doctor to find out possible options and diet suggestions. In the meantime, wigs, scarfs, and hats can be another option that can be worked out to look very chic with an outfit. Experiment and discover all the possibilities.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, going to the hairdressers to get a colour adjustment is a risk even when you've asked all the questions and explained what you want and don't want. Glad to hear it's getting better for you. It feels good when you get to 5 months because you can really see the difference by then. As for my hair growing... I eat a pretty healthy diet. Lot's of fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole foods. Everyone is so different. Diet plays a big part for hair growth. I still have a long ways to go yet. The journey continues... stay tuned!

I hear what you're saying Rosemarie. There are women whose grey hair just looks stunning no matter what, like you said, natural beauties. Thank you for the compliment but I too need to make the effort to look good. I want to encourage you that you too can revel in your natural beauty. I've had friends who have had thinning (balding) hair, or felt not as beautiful as they should feel. One gal, with full grey hair, who never wore makeup, allowed me to jazz her up with makeup, colour, and some style. When we were done she felt so beautiful. She was amazed. That's all she needed. Sometimes we just need to step away from the mirror and take another look at all the possibilities. Don't we all want to be cinderella's at the ball. We all have good days and bad days. Sometimes just taking the time to play dress up and makeup can make all the difference. I've had friends over the years who would make comments about themselves and how they didn't feel beautiful. When we explored what could be done with clothes, hair, makeup, a spa day, or just a freshening up, it makes all the difference. What it does is brighten your spirit up. When that happens we begin to shine and we attract others to ourselves. I would love to have a charm school to help women realize their potential. You should check out Advanced Style, and even some make-overs to also help inspire you. You need to value you first. Then the rest will fall into place.

You're right, souls are eternal. It's a beautiful thing when hearts are kind and there is no judgements on those who make their choices. Kindness is needed in this harsh world. It takes courage to stand out in what you believe and feel to be true or right. Class is not about wealth, prestige, or looks... it's about behaviour, being respectful towards others and showing kindness even when we have another view on matters. Most important of all is to be kind to yourself first, love yourself first, and then share it with others in the way that feels right for you.

I've pondered doing a makeup tutorial... Yes, eyeliner can be a challenge. I would suggest you get a light up magnified mirror. I use mine every time. Helps to see the details of what you're doing. Plus you need a really fine liner brush. That's important so it's not going on too thick.

@@therenaissancewoman2080 thank you! You know, you made the right decision about NOT getting that hair transition done. I will not do it because it wrecks your hair. I would watch other videos. It’s not worth it. Your hair looks great and is so conditioned and healthy as it is. I would let it be.

I did proceed... You'll have to watch the video on going to the salon. It shows every step in the process and then the results in the end. I'm glad I got it all videod so others can see how it actually works.

Hahaha! You've been there too! We were caught up with the illusion that we could look like those models or actresses but BOY we had no idea the hairstylists were not that great at perm. Looking back I don't think this guy knew what he was doing. Mostly little old ladies with short hair who love those tight perms I'm thinking.

My daughter-in-law is young and her hair is very thing, thinner than mine. Sometimes it can be a result of diet or a thyroid issue. I would look into it and see if that will make a difference for you. My daughter-in-law ended up going to the salon to get highlights put in her hair to brighten up her look and it made such a nice difference. She too never wears makeup. When we sat down and played like little girls with makeup she couldn't believe how pretty she felt afterwards. Sometimes it just takes a little exploring. ;)

Good advice. The best way is to just let it grow out. However, I took the plunge. See what happens next in the video going to the Salon. ;)

The very beginning is always the hardest. Once you get over a couple of months it'll get better. Keep going, you'll be so glad you did. Find ways to keep your hair fun in the process. Hat's, scarfs, clips, headbands, various styles, undoes, etc. Play and discover what more you can do with your hair. Explore. It helps to get through the beginning process. ;)

If you watch the next video on going to the Salon you'll see what happens next.

The contrast of the brown was harsh. So I did something about it. Check out my going grey journey and what happened next!

Thank you 😊

That was never an option for me. Some have done it and that's a great way to get through it for sure. ;)
