Have you every found yourself in a situation where you second-guessed going grey? If so, what was the situation? And did you change your mind and color your hair again? I would love to hear from you.

Actually, I do have something to add!..our grandson passed away, 3 years ago, from a rare genetic disease, at 22 months old!... all of this, hair, skin, body, etc...doesn’t matter, healthy matters!.,,family matters!...you are healthy and perfect!.,,💜💜💜💜

Don't judge your self by how others look or act. Be strong enough to be yourself.

I’m at almost 1 year of growing out my natural silver hair and I understand what you mean. Some days it doesn’t bother me but some days I feel like I look so unput together. The only bright side is remembering my end goal and actually loving what has grown out so far. That mom on the beach who is fit and has long dark hair might be looking at you wishing she had your beautiful curls 😊

I totally understand you. It''s normal to sometimes question the decision to go grey. But you encouraged me to keep on doing it and now I want to encourage you. Stay strong, we silver sisters have good days and bad days. The demarcation line ist the hardest thing, but when it''s all grown out, it will look great, believe me!

I have mixed feelings all the time. I’m 42 and every single person I talk to says I’m going to look old and that I am letting myself go/giving up. I’ve already bleached my brown hair to ease my transition and I have two inches of gray growth. I started going gray in my 20’s. I’m done coloring-so over it. I am looking forward to being unique, but more importantly, finally being myself. Thanks for the inspiration!

Don’t waste your time on the beach worrying about your hair, you look great! If it makes you feel bad looking at other women with dyed hair, then just don’t look at them. Look at the beautiful scenery around you and enjoy your books and beer, and concentrate on things that make you feel good! 💕

This video from a while back was in my feed and I love it. Your candor is so refreshing. I'm 46 wks in and during the first few months, I know I would have colored my hair if we weren't in lockdown. I have very thick hair and the idea of attempting to do this on my own was way too daunting so I stood the course and I am so happy.

I'm at the beach a few times a week, living on the west coast of Australia. I can assure you, nobody brings their best self to the beach here! I feel great! I'm 4.5 months in but my hair was hennaed so there's not so much of a demarcation line anymore as it has naturally faded. I'm 57. And I look at all the young girls today. None of them look particularly individual. I feel a bit rebellious with my silver hair. Loving it so far. I see it as a middle finger to the expectations of women in society. Please don't feel insecure. You look fantastic! And let's face it, it's only hair. A year ago I had a brain tumour removed leaving me deaf right side, no senses of smell, taste and no right balance nerve. So, in the grand scheme of things, all of us need to realise our priorities. Grey hair=unique individuality and embracing one's age and wisdom. We are all on a journey and we are lucky we even lived to get grey hair. Some people aren't so fortunate.

You go girl!! I love your videos!

You are absolutely an inspiration to someone like me who is just making the decision to stop coloring! I think you have a beautiful smile, an honest personality, and a brand of bravery I hope I have cause I will definitely need it for this journey. God bless.

👏🏻👏🏻💕 love your thought process and self acceptance! So inspirational. I am 54 and 17 mos in, and I won’t go back either. Lets choose confidence! Many blessings to you 💕🌸

You look absolutely fabulous!!! I have the same kind a beach chair you do. My main insecurity is my bipolar disorder. Secondly is my hair loss. This video made me feel so much better about myself. Thank you so much for taking us along on your vacation. 😊💚😊💚

You have a gorgeous tan!! Keep rockin the silver sister!

I'm 6 months into my transition, thank you so much for this video ( I can't believe I haven't seen it before), you've given me so much inspiration to keep going. I really like my gray, and I like yours too. I think it rocks!

Just found your channel! So glad I did!! This is so relatable on so many levels. Keep having these conversations and making videos about life. In my mid 40’s I’m finding myself once again in a different path for growth as my children are becoming young adults. I love life and during these transitions in life it’s always nice to have relatable moments with others. Thanks for sharing!

You are Precious! Thank you for just being real! Happy to be along for the journey, thanks for sharing!😊 ❤️from MS

YOU look fantastic!! I just turned 49 last month. Decided to go gray and quit coloring about two months ago. I have five years of free-form dreads so I'm curious to see how the transition will work itself out! I love your content. I love your attitude! I find a lot of women my age to be very boring (sorry), so it is a true delight to come across someone such as yourself!!

I really appreciate your candor. It’s very much appreciated and comforting and very brave of you. 🙏

Enjoy your channel. So nice to see your happy family and great dogs. So much fun to watch.love your candor.Sharing thoughts all women have is so refreshing. Luv your channel.

You seem to be my twin!! Except that you exude a confidence that is simply beautiful. Keep rocking!!

Renee, I needed this so much today! You said it perfectly, "I'm tired of the two tone." I am 63, on my 3rd and final attempt, and 9 months in; and tired of the two tone! I just want to be done with transition. Thank you!

Like your bathing suit and it looked really good with your hair.

I'm 42 and at the same stage of grow-out with curly hair and almost as much gray as you. You look fantastic and I think your body is rocking. Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on insecurity.

Eat the key lime pie girl! You are gorgeous!! I just turned 50 and just started my gray transition. You’re an inspiration to me!!!

Renee you look fabulous! Get yourself a straw cowgirl hat for the beach and rock it!

Hey beautiful! I've just embarked on my greying journey and you've been one of my inspirations! I'm 44 and been thinking about going grey for 3 years now and women like you have helped me make the jump. You're asking what our insecurities might be and mine is simply the fact that people don't get how comfortable, happy and content I am with myself. I don't obide by "standards" of beauty imposed on us by the cosmetic or fashion industry. Don't get me wrong and go thinking that I'm outside of the norm, I'm not. Most people find me beautiful and attractive and many love my confidence and look up to me. I look up to other women that are themselves and not afraid to be. You're one of them, I think. It's absolutely OK to feel doubtful occasionally especially when we're taken out of our comfort zone or our environment. I bet no-one on that beach made a comment or made you feel that way, but you just thought it because its a new milestone in your journey. For what it's worth, I think you look great and you're fit. When I'm on the beach I always wear a straw cowboy hat or some sort of hat to protect my face from the sun, you could try if it helps you feel more secure about your hair. I have curly hair too, like yours and same as you, as a young girl I hated it mostly because my mum didn't know how to make it look good but one thing is, on the beach..... IT'S EPIC AND GLORIOUS!!! Leave it loose and embrace your lioness mane! I'm only 6 weeks into my journey and already I feel empowered!!! Can't wait for it to be dye free!

Silver and that tan, looks amazing!!!!!..,

Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. It’s important to release. My personal reminder for these kinds of feelings is this: I will aim to improve myself in whatever ways I can using myself as a measuring stick....we are all designed by a divine creator and it’s my aim to embrace myself as my most authentic. I am 44 and early in my transition process. I’m getting married in a year and want to go into my union in truth. This is all definitely a process. Cheers to each of you who are walking this walking this walk.

Hi. Love watching your journey. So brave to put it out there to thousands. As I mentioned in another of your posts - being your authentic self is the best gift you can give yourself. That’s how I saw my journey and I think that’s what you’re really reflecting on sitting on the beach. Grey is just a colour. Period. Authenticity is having whatever colour you want whether it’s the trend or against the grain. In what you wear or how you have your hair. If it feels right then do it. Whether that’s red black or grey. Treat yourself well and you will shine. I wish I would have walked down the beach to see you with my multi-coloured grey silver white hair so you could see how I own it. Then there would have been two of us. I love all the changes I made to accommodate my new look. From clothes to makeup. And that’s authentic too. Keep on keeping on. You’re doing great.

I love your videos and I think your curly hair is beautiful ❤️

Yes! we are enjoying your channel. You look great in your bathing suit. Have the key lime pie...your on vacation!!! 2 weeks ago did the "big chop" because i couldn't take the 2-tone. At first, I was like, "OH! no what did I do....I seem so much more grey!!" Then I also thought, "Oh!, so this is how it is going to be?" ....( I still have some more dyed part to chop off. I went very short, cut 5 inches off and it was just under my chin. One more chop and it will be done.) It really did take me back at first....but 2 days after, it was all good!!! The cashier at the store complimented on how nice it was and said I looked younger and freer. At the gym another lady said she wished she could go that short and loved my grey. Then at Macy's a lady said my grey was just stunning and asked what color lipstick I had on!!!!!! I was stunned??!!! All this in a 3 day period!!! My natural color is pretty close to yours and I think it is just natural to second guess and wonder who this lady in the mirror is!!! I think all these feelings come because we dyed it. If it naturally greyed it would be a gradual process and not so much to think about. i am happy with it and NEVER going back....Life is too short ....to waste all that time, energy and money on hair!!! Freedom feels GREAT!!!!

Your hair looks lovely 😊

This is so real. I finally went to Ft Lauderdale two weekends ago for an overdue vacay and I felt the same way. Gray hair, rolls and folds in my bathing suit. Looking at the other women from all age ranges but by the last day I was like, F#%& it! I am here with my special person and we are enjoying the moments and each other. ❤️

Hey girl heeyyyyy!!! I have a lot of catching up to do. I have moments like that too. It's not always easy. But the result will be worth it. It seems my unprocessed hair is coming in straighter. I don't know that for sure but it sure seems that way. So thankful you got some time away. Big hug.

I am trying to catch up with all your videos. Now your done. Your hair is natural the way...well as it was to be and it is you. You are Awsome my friend.

What a good video!Wow honesty! Your hair is beautiful, Im poker strait and got sooo many perms. Ive got a pot belly and bad teeth. Id kill for a body like yours. You are a blessing to all of us. Thank you.

Hang in there, you look great. I am a little bit younger than you, 43, and in my transition and because you have curly hair, I often watch you for inspiration. We have to change what we think beauty and old looks and feels like. Women like you pave the way. Power on.

Lady you are gorgeous! No cellulite, toned arms, tight neck, gorgeous hair - I hope I can look that good on the beach. Flat gorgeous!!

I don’t think I can bring much to the table with the grey transition, because I am still coloring at 63yo...I do know, that you seem to be such an honest, good hearted, beautiful human, real person, I have discovered on KZfaq...I do understand insecurities!!!!..I am 63 yo an still have them!... no matter what anyone tells you about how awesome you look, or how amazing you are!..,what YOU believe is all that matters!..,for what you do for all of us, with this KZfaq channel, is extremely inspiring!...be who you are, and do what you want...God made everyone perfect!..,much love and appreciation to you!..,💜💜💜💜💜

Right there with you! I just keep telling myself over 50% or more of women our age have grey hair too...we just can't see it, lol. It's hard to be or feel like the only one because most still color it, which is fine but underneath they are just like us. I'm 10 months in and I cannot wait for the transition to be done. You are beautiful, inside and out and your voice, the way you speak is priceless!

Late entry but I must respond, I have curly, going grey ( 2 months no dye). I know beach hair is the hardest for me to deal with. Unmanageable, frizzy hair, I will don a cute hat or gel and braid my hair. Rock your age, you look fabulous. Like you have already stated - be authentic! Let go of insecurities and be free to be happy and grateful! Love your channel!

You look great the way u are!

We all humans are going to be insecure about something but the main thing is that we have to be happy within our own skin that's all i have to say. . And your hair is looking fabulous😊👍enjoy the beach.

I really appreciate this post. Thank you for sharing your insecurities about it. I’m thinking of going grey, but I’ve got so many insecurities about it. 😑

You look beautiful and distinguished I felt the same once not any more, enjoy your hair

Stop doubting yourself be unique, be yourself it's all in your mind you look great and though you don't think so I bet some of those people you were looking at were also looking and admiring you trust me. accept and Love who you are it's a beautiful thing.

Sweetie dont feel weird. You look gourgeos. Your gray hair is beautiful and when the transition is all done you will see how worth it is to have natural hair collor. I went in transition from black to gray for 4 years ago and never ever have been more confident. I also have curly hair. Keep on being gray. ❤️

Yes, I’ve second guessed about my gray. But now, I am 8 months in and I love it. I plan to get a shorter, fresh, youthful and modern cut this week. I have received nothing but compliments about the color and I’m just so grateful to have made it to 59. You can always get a conditioning/cellophane treatment with color or to add more shine for a temporary boost to your hair too. Your hair is awesome and unique; you don’t have to cave in and do what everyone else is doing.

Renee you look beautiful with your silver hair! Be you! I'm 65, 8months without dye and I love it. I've had days of doubts but I'm committed! I've had more compliments on my hair now than ever. Bottom line I've accepted my age, my body, and my hair. I feel more confident! I've always had a weight issue. My husband loves me for me, my kids love me for me. Who cares about how strangers think of me. I love me! Love yourself! Yes rock it girl! ❤️❤️❤️

I wouldn't worry, those people are being fake. Your skin and body is beautiful. The curls are cute wish I had that..

Thanks for being vulnerable and honest with all of us, Rene! It’s funny how your idea of perfect beach hair is so different from mine. I have naturally fine-textured hair (but a lot of it). Having this hair type has been the bane of my existence! Fine hair must be washed daily because it sucks up dirt and grease from the air like there’s no tomorrow. Unfortunately, tomorrow always comes and then it’s time again to shampoo, rinse, and repeat. Why not just live in the bathtub? And should I ever have the audacity to mix this kind of hair with salty ocean breezes, well, let’s not even go there. When I was younger, I wore pixie cuts and used a curling iron and hairspray to meticulously control every potentially-limp strand. Eventually I grew tired of hair spray fumes and that perpetual sticky feeling so I decided to try a curly perm at the salon. IT CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I have had shoulder-length, voluminous, limp-immune hair for quite a few years now. Because permed hair is technically damaged hair, the texture is courser (aka more grease proof) than my natural hair and so I can go days without shampooing (I co-wash though). And going to the beach with my permed “beach hair” is pure pleasure! Sun, salt, and wind ( and even “hat hair”) have nothing on me now. I can proudly stroll into a seaside restaurant after a day at the beach and no longer be mortified by what is atop my head! Once every 10 months at the salon is all it takes, and I so enjoy the several hours of pampering. I am a proud curly girl (albeit a fake one) and it has done wonders for my confidence as I walk this planet! On another note, I think your curls are gorgeous and you are totally rocking the gray! As I’m sure you’ve heard, the transition is the hardest part, not the 100% gray part. My personal philosophy when making big changes to my appearance is to allow myself the freedom to re-evaluate at any time during the process. Otherwise, I could potentially find myself a prisoner to my own new-found convictions ( yes, I have a horribly checkered past of all-or-nothing thinking and have been known to be my own worst enemy). Ha! So, in my ever-so-humble opinion, it’s ok to go gray and it’s ok to decide to give the color another chance. Whatever you decide, now or in the future, we support you and love you! As for me, at age 55, l’ve gone back to blonde a few times after getting halfway to gray. So, a nice compromise for me right now might be to color just once a year (subject to change without further notice). 🤪 I guess this blond/gray combo will be my own personal version of balayage! Once again, thanks for being real! God bless! ❤️❤️💪💪 Floxendoodle from SoCal

BTW, you rock!!!!

Love your look 😍 I am going grey & I go through hair dye withdraws 😃 I think its the pressure the media puts out there in tv. Also I am always in the Political scope, so I must look my best with my grey. I am 3 months in 😲 I have to remind myself to stay committed. P.S. the word "Older" is not on my vocabulary I rather say " wiser" as I become wiser in my age. 😊. I got that word tip from a doctor I follow in youtube. Thank you for your tips ❤

Refreshing... I'm 55 went full grey but I do think if you want to dye it go ahead.. Your still young and healthy

Don’t overthink it. I don’t love my gray while transitioning-I’m 18 months in-but I do love the freedom of not constantly struggling to hide my roots. I’m 46, and sometimes I wish I weren’t graying already, but then I remind myself that the dyed hair wasn’t looking terrific or fooling anybody. You’re on the beach, so get out of your headspace, relax, and focus on the sand and surf instead of strangers’ physical appearances. Be present in the moment and don’t dwell on insecurities. You’ll enjoy yourself much more and boost your confidence.

Oh, beautiful lady, yes, insecurities. ......I'm a year, 5 months cold turkey , CURLY hair, 62 and loving the journey ~ however ~ it's not only liberating, but you are going through this metamorphosis, almost unrecognizable, and with me, it flares up my other insecurities. But I'm with you, never going to color again Word of encouragement : I LOVED the stage you're at with your grow out from looking at my photos from April. Each stage is different, and YOU ARE so unique, beautiful and INSPIRING! I do understand, I came up in the 60-70's, and NO ONE had curly hair, we didn't have the tools there are now. ..I did some bizarre things to have the "long, straight, parted down the middle" hair, and it was still wavy! Silver rocks, and your colors are beautiful 💜💜

Funny how we think people are secure with themselves. For instance, I think you look confident and beautiful in your swim suit. I'm insecure with my weight, I just cut off all my hair into a short pixie (in my bathroom) and realized, holy smoke, its so white! I'm on the fence. Am I ready to give up the illusion of looking younger? Honestly, you are inspiring me and I'm hanging on. Not sure what the future holds, but watching you enjoy and share your life is uplifting. Thank you Reneé.

Going gray "early" is a new movement. Of course we all feel not "in the crowd". We sometimes feel like outsiders, having the sticking "brainwashed" mentality and the stigma of looking "old" throwing at us, or the feeling of losing some attraction "worthiness". The cure for all that is : the more younger women go gray the more it will be trendy and celebrated. Women celebrating who they are as nature intended them to be. The "not ok to be who you are" mentality and advertisements will be out of the window for good. Early revolution soldiers... that is who we are . If you had seen one, two or more younger gray haired women on that beach you wouldn't have felt that way right? So, let time takes its course, there will be more of us out there. Give it some time and especially women out there... let's stick to our guns (so-to-speak) and go all the way transitioning towards our brightness :-) No more hiding... FREEDOM all the way! (btw I'm on my 19 month transitioning)

Its all what you feel and want.Your simply beautiful inside amd out and i enjoy watching your videos.Iam sorry but iam known for speaking my mind.The grey makes you look older and its a grey grey..not a silver grey.Oh boy..I said it .But ehatever you like is what it should be.You have the sweetest personality and the best outlook on lifeand i look for your videos everyday.Bellla....its all about what makes you happy.Ill be a follower on here regaurdless

I love and appreciate your honesty, Renee. I'm in the same "mixed-feeling-boat" right now. I'm 54 and 15-months into going gray. For a while, I was excited. Now, every time I look at my hair, I think "old". My hair is mostly straight, almost shoulder-length, I have bangs. The front is white, the sides & back are charcoal, my gray is almost all grown out. I ask myself, "Do I need a drastic new style? Is it too limp? How do I make this work??" It helps a little to pull the sides back and add a clip. I refuse to color again (I don't miss it!); I'm gray for life. The "lack" and struggle is real in these mid-life years.:) I'm trying to find my niche and place in this "getting-older-not-younger" season of life. I do imagine that I'll reach a place where I make friends (and peace) with my "older" self.:) Keep your videos coming! They're encouraging, and I enjoy them!! Lesa from Indiana

Wow you are gorgeous, silver and all

You look fantastic. And, when you're on vacation, you should have key lime pie for breakfast. 🌺

Absolutely... in response to your question

Wow, I was surprised to hear you say how insecure you have been feeling this week at the beach. We also had a beach vacation this past summer and when I saw pictures afterwards, I said who is that white haired lady! 🥴. But, like you, I will never dye again. And yes, we all have something(s) about ourselves we don’t like. I have always been to short for my weight! 🤪. I tried really hard for almost two months to lose some weight, but at 73 it is a really hard process. So I am just concentrating on eating a bit more healthy and not snacking on salty crispy things! You know what I mean! BTW, you look great in that bathing suit! So, just accept it for what it is! Guess that’s our lesson for today!

Hello Renee, I am a 47 yr old who has fully transition to salt and pepper. I have alot on top but less in the back. I love it now but the transition was very hard. I still have days when I think of dying if will not go back. I think at our age there are not alot of women going gray. I feel the same about eating dessert if you want it. I used to be in fantastic shape but it does take alot of energy and effort. You look amazing by the way! You are so proportional and have beautiful legs and everything. For the first time in my life I am in menopause from cancer treatment and have a bit of a belly. I think nearing 50 our priorities change and we just want to live our best life and not always be worried about the physical stuff. I still do but alot less nowadays. After the final gray transition you will be so happy. Hugs and support sent your way!

Please don't change your hair. Your beautiful just the way you are.

I really needed to see a video like this thanks. I have been wanting to go gray I look at myself and wonder what happened to my life I have grandchildren and great grandchildren I didn’t know that’s could love them the way I do they’re a blessing from God. I’m 71 and don’t look my age I still feel young inside. But I know that I’m not . So I’m wanting to go gray and stop coloring my hair. But haven’t done it yet and I don’t know what is going on with me I don’t know why I haven’t done it yet . But I really like what you said in your video. So thank you

I think you look great; you have beautiful skin and the condition of your hair looks so healthy. Your curly hair has transitioned really well; the curls make color difference more subtle. I actually never feel my best at the beach. While I love it, my hair is up in a clip and dries frizzy after I come out of the water, my skin is greasy from lotion, and I feel yucky. When you go home and you're back in your day to day, you'll see how pretty you are and then you can make a decision. Bottom line: do not be hard on yourself. We women do that way too much.

"the only one on the beach with grey hair" - so you were unique, individual, Beautiful without resorting to the "sameyness" so many women are these days. Keep it grey and never give in to the to the plastic sheeple look x

I found my first grey hairs at 26 after I had back to back surgeries. I'm now 36 and I color my hair every 3-4 weeks because I feel like I look "old" with my natural hair color. I don't like the fact that I am aging and I get very self conscious with my grey hairs. I want to stop coloring my hair because of many reasons but it's terrifying. I appreciate this post, thanks for sharing.

I absolutely love your hair! I also stopped coloring my hair. I thought my hair would come in a salt and pepper gray like my mothers. Nope! I’m a natural redhead. And I’m kinda ending up with variations of blonde to dark . Haven’t colored my hair for 3 years so it is what it is. I’m 71 and am not going to start coloring my hair again. But I have thought about doing low light’s because I’m feeling washed out. I have what I call the normal ( belly pooch) and that is definitely my problem spot. I have been walking and have a stationary bike and mini trampoline I jog on, I also do exercise videos and have started weights to tone up the bat wings and such. Then I think, I’m 71! Why am I worried about what anyone else thinks? Dilemma. But it seems I do.

Hey there! You look awesome! We all have our own insecurities so don't be so hard on yourself. I had to laugh when you mentioned no one else had grey hair on the beach except for 65 year olds that you'd expect to. Well, I started going grey at age 16. I am now 64. The longer my hair was grey the whiter it became and now I'm 100 % white and wavy curly. I am constantly mistaken for younger than I am and also constantly getting asked about my hair. In the interest of full disclosed I am deaf as well. So is don't hear those compliments and most of the time my husbands has to tell me someone is complimenting my me on my white hair. PS: when I was on the beach I wore a wide brimmed hat and huge dark sunglasses. Nobody could tell I had white hair. I'm very pale so I had to cover up and load on the sunscreen.

I'm 46 & I'm almost a year inta lettin' mine grow out & I'm okay wif it 'til I look in tha mirror!!! 🤣😁😝 my twinzie is 3yrs inta her transformation & I'm jealous of her confidence in ownin' it!!! (Plus hers is alot whiter & mine is more peppery!!!) U rule btw & give me hope that it's a good decision ta keep on wif my journey!!! My hair isn't straight or curly... it juz waves at every1 in opposite directions!!! (So I usually put it in braids or pixie^tails under a hat) much luv & lukk ta u!!! Edited ta say that My main insecurity is my white eyebrows tbh!!!

Renee you are beautiful. I really like that you share with us.

Silicone can cause frizz as it repels moisture, all grey hair needs is smoothing down x

I just love your hair! I would love to see it up just like you have it, but slicked down with the same updo, I think it would also look just as beautiful, you rock your mane, its fly!! Plus you look fab in your suit!💪🏽💃🏻👩🏻‍🦳

All my life, I've had natural thick blonde hair straight as a stick. 3 years ago I developed psoriasis and had to start giving myself an injection every 2 months. My blonde hair started turning color...reddish & curly and much thinner!! I was in shock!! The front & sides have stayed blonde, but the back is reddish with blonde streaks. People are always asking me who colors my hair!! My younger sister (from Chemo) and my mother have beautiful silver hair. Why couldn't I have silver hair?? I hate my dark hair! I do like the curl I have on the ends tho! My mother did say there are a lot of blonde mixed in with the red, but aren't we suppose to get gray as we get older???? Unfortunately, I can't go off the injections. Loving your videos from Pa. ❤️🤔❤️

6 months into my transition and I haven't felt any different yet. Mind you I just turned 63 and I've hated being in a bathing suit long before I had grey hair. And I'm not that overweight. I'm in decent shape for my age but I'm the heaviest I've ever been my whole life. My hair isn't bothering me. I guess we all have something about ourselves that we would want different. Well, we just need to be happy with what we all have.😘

Oh my goodness Renee! You look amazing! I would never stand in front of a camera in a bathing suit! You ROCKED it! I am in the transition phase of 6 months (started when I turned 50). I have females at my work place that want to do what I am doing, but their husbands won't let them. Yes, I'm overweight but I look in the mirror now and I feel free. I feel real. I am now showing and accepting how God created me to be: unique and not like others. When you go to someone needing help, they aren't going to care what color your hair is or when you hand a child their ice cream, they are not going to care what color your hair is. They will see the inside (the only thing that really matters to God).

Wow I had same insecurities. I have same curls and silver as you even the darker colors on lower portion. Magic is conditioner! I went to my hair styler and she worked with my curl pattern and gave me a short feminine look. The brown is gone and only a side sweep in front of the curls. Went to work and everyone commented how awesome my style is! Even asked if I had it colored silver! No all natural. Silver fox, sexy, beautiful etc. I own it now...having less of the brown color enhances my silver! The curly girl method also transforms your new growth into soft textures and healthy hair. Beware of all the sun damage at the beach. I live in Florida and know what sun, humidity, heat does to my hair. Even though I got a very short cut, I will continue to grow to mid length. I cannot be without my curls. For now my transition is more beautiful and silver curls rock! I am 6 months into journey. Every morning I love my choice of eye makeup and lip colors...I will be 60 on my next birthday sooooo totally silver.

You are beautiful!!!!

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!!! I play in the water too much!!! Plus, you look great! Just rock some body glitter if you wanna lay in the sun!!!

What is beach hair to a black mature woman who has gray kinky coiling curly hair and never long enough to be sleeked into a ponytail unless you put some gel in it. Oh and by the way since I am by the water my hair would coil back up again anyway. You look fabulous and I love your gray hair and I wish I had that body too!

First, I think you are lovely. Here is one for ya. I am 69 and I have tried to live a good life and love others. Inside though, is that little girl who just isn't enough. Trying to fit in. I love my sister and she lovingly says, "She doesn't know where I came from.?" I do not think I am from here. God help me.

i am going grey, and starting to get into shape so i am not a 46 year old all grey and out of shape. so hopefully by the end of this new year, i will reach my goal.

I am on this journey with you. I am not going to color my hair again. My profile pic is my fur baby because I got a little way out & got the pixie haircut. It's growing now & almost to my shoulders. But I think my short hair makes me look 30 years older. The shortness looks like blue football helmet head to me when I look in the mirror. I think my fur baby looks better than me right now so I use his pic. I know it's growing, I am taking biotin, but I don't think I will be able to own it till it's back down to the waist. So I am just trying to get get through this time of transition.

Please know this....You look amazing! Heck yes you do! ;)

The grey hair looks good. Really!

I like very much how you look Greetings from Egypt 👍

I have not given up the hair color yet, (obviously have thought about it) but I think you look beautiful with the silver.! Especially with your tan! And... you look fit! You have nice tone in your arms with shoulder definition and through the trapezius. One of the first things I noticed! I’m in the fitness industry. Or was. I’m now a caretaker for aging dads. I just lost my mom unexpectedly. She wore natural silver streaks for several years in her 30s with lots of compliments! Like where did you get your hair “frosted” Lol. And then in later years 50- 72 colored her almost all white hair platinum blonde,. But I do get how u feel! Im a little older than u and my body is not quite the same as it was. My hair has thinned, my skin has lost some of its youthful elasticity etc. It’s so not fun feeling like u look older when I feel exactly the same on the inside when I was Idk 30? Only a bit wiser! 😉.

I totally get it! My insecurity is my body/weight. I've always been fat, but I ALWAYS had beautiful brown hair. Well.... Now I'm gonna have beautiful gray hair at 38 years old. 🤣😊 I'm taking better care of myself, but I'm still fat. On the beach, people are exposed - Literally! It amplifies any insecurities you have, so it totally makes sense that you had those thoughts. But you have the right attitude! When I'm on the beach, my hair is sweaty and probably has sand and sunscreen in it and it's pulled up, so I don't care. 😂 BTW, your silver looks beautiful with your golden tan!

Shake it up a little bit! Practice the Curly Girl Method. It would do wonders and give you another focus for a while. Also, a big chop might help you over the hump. Get a makeover at a Bobbi Brown Counter. Marvelous!! Whatever you do, we love you!! Hang in there!!

I quit coloring my hair 6 mos ago. I have shorter, layered hair. I am 64 years old, but I only have a few silver hairs at this point, for whatever reason. I could give a hoot about what others think of me. I am a good person. I am healthy, fit, and i love myself. THAT is my best self. This seems petty.

I know it's an old video but honestly Renée your so cute and a down to earth person which is very attractive 🇬🇧👍🌞🐾

Your body is amazing though!!!

I have my gray then the dark brown and then it ends in a reddish brown... I have 3 tones... I look crazy in the process.....

I am 45 and I have been letting my natural color come in for the last 3 years and I'm about 30 percent gray, I did this because my hair wouldn't grow past my shoulders from the damage from the bleach, I do have anxiety from time to time because I work in the corporate world where growing old is looked down upon, I remember older women being judged very harshly from aging men and of course other women who have very strong opinions about aging and competing with younger women ….and thought geez, I need to get out before I'm there...but I'm way too young to get out, I figured I rather have long hair than fried short hair.....I do wear my hair up a lot and compensate with makeup and clothes...it helps a lot...I don't know what the outcome will be with my journey....but I'm just experimenting..I would still like to be sexy and attractive and gray...so to be continued.

I wouldn't judge my decision because of the beach .....it was important to me to stop because of the chemicals and really don't care what other think or see....

I have gone totally grey in fact my hair is now pure white. I regretted it at first because there is an attitude especially with babyboomers that stopping hair dye is like "giving up on yourself." Or that its a new trend. I have to shrug these comments off. Its the more authentic me.. Its not a new trend It really doesnt make me look older. I try to conjure up the grey haired woman from MASH. I tell myself its another shade of blonde. Lots of respectable men have grey hair and no one makes comments. Grey hair was "in" during Marie Antoinette's day. You can look really stylish with a little bit of effort-- jewelry makeup, hair products, eye brow powder. And often a headband adds a pop of color. It looks more natural because there are more natural highlights. And if I dyed my hair again the grey would show in the roots and almost look like bald spots again. That was yuck.
