When people say it’s a journey, they mean journey in so many ways besides your hair. Facing society expectations, facing your own insecurities, it’s so much more than hair.

My only regret about growing out my gray/silver was that I didn’t do it sooner because I listened to hairdressers tell me it would make me look older. Not true. Once I made my mind up about letting the dye go it didn’t matter to me what anyone had to say about it. I love my silver hair.

My hairdresser keeps telling me the same thing. You are too young. But when I see Grey on others I am like look how pretty and she insists on not for me. And you know what I realized that it’s actually best to go Grey early in life. Just my opinion Bc you can adjust to it and enjoy it and style it and do many things to it.

It was the BEST decision, so freeing! I too, am stopped by complete strangers complementing my hair. For me, to keep it looking updated I have a great cut, use AG silver shampoo and conditioner, and wear cooler tones of blush and lip color. Great video 😊

Textural changes aren’t always a bad thing. My fine straight flat hair has always been a challenge. My wavy greys have added a lot of body; I’m currently wearing my hair pretty long, and don’t heat style it. It’s in the best condition I’ve had for ages! At 57, I haven’t colored my hair in 3-4 years, so going grey hasn’t involved a harsh contrast. My 64 year old sister (who remains steadfastly bottle blonde) is the only one who feels the need to discuss my hair on a regular basis.

I also love how you did "duo palette" look with your eyes being naturally gray, your natural gray hair is on the lighter side and you matched them with gray shade eyebrows. In contrast your make up is nude bronze?.. You did put some thought into it and it works great for you! This is a great example of how someone should evaluate what they naturally have and come up with low maintenance look that works best for them!

The last time I went to my hairdresser was 6/23/2021, my color did not look good, this is when my decision to just let go. As i look at my hair in the mirror today 9/28/2021 I see the most beautiful silver crowning my head, my husband loves it, tells me it looks cool, winter is coming I will start a slow process of cutting my hair a few inches at a time. I have no problem with a granny bun. It is just a rite of passage for me, let go and let live. I earned every single gray hair I have. ty for video

When let go of the wigs and weaves and went natural 4 years ago, I was at the mall with a friend and this guy asked my friend if I was her mother. I was mortified and walked away from them. At first the transition had a few rough patches but for the most part I have had an amazing response to it. People think it's cool and like you said ask if I dyed my hair this color. I'm more salt n pepper and I almost wish I was straight grey because I like uniformity better. I have had my hair dyed grey for a photo shoot and a couple of fashion shows and people went bonkers for it. They wanted me to keep the color but I couldn't because it would bleed off unto clothing, hands, etc. They told me I looked like "Storm" (the comic book character). So I know at least when it does change all the way over, people will love it. Your hair is gorgeous.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I love your story and took the same route as you with some grey highlights to help blend the line. It's been almost 2 years and I am now fully transitioned. I agree with all your pros and cons! One advice is to show confidence in your choice of going grey - I didn't ask my family and friends what they thought about me going grey, I announced it. And I got no negative comments (they didn't dare telling me is my guess...and I prefer that!).

I hadn't seen this before. I'm 55 and made my decision earlier this year, so I'm definitely in transition mode. Working the grow-out phase in a couple different ways. Can't wait for the freedom. Mine is going to be a lot more white than yours. You're beautiful and you're rocking it!

I'm 61 and I have been contemplating going grey for a few weeks but im nervous about it. I wear my hair in a very short pixie cut but after watching your video, I've gained new confidence and im definitely going for it. Thank you so much!! Your hair is beautiful

You and your hair are SO gorgeous! I just cut off a lot of my hair yesterday because the color was washing out and it felt and looked like straw. I am a retired hairdresser. I have been wanting to go silver for years, but kept listening to the naysayers who were saying I looked "too young to make myself look old". I tried to do it at 40, then again and fifty, and now and sixty, I am going for it! People will probably not tell me that I look too young to do it anymore,LOL. This time I plan on ignoring the rude people and comments from here on in. I feel sad that people are so rude on the internet and in general.What has made people so rude and ill mannered these days? It speaks volumes about them .I feel sorry for them. It must suck to be so miserable that you have to comment on others...Your skin and teeth look amazing too.I am so happy to have found your channel .You are an inspiration. I wish I had done it when I was as young as you are...I could have been on multiple vacations with the money I spent on highlights after I retired as a hairdresser...

Thank you for you video. Your hair always looks beautiful! I turned 50 this year, so I decided that I was going to finally stop colouring my hair because constantly trying to cover that ‘skunk line’, was exhausting and expensive. My family and friends have not been very supportive and I was surprised at the negative comments I got from some of my co-workers when I expressed my desire to go grey. Some of the comments were that I would look much older than I am, and that I would look like I’d let myself go. Funnily enough, my hairdresser, was also against my decision ... so, I found a new hair dresser who was willing to help me transition to grey. I just decided to do it for ME for a change! Yes, it’s been hard trying to get used to a new look, but as the year has progressed, I’ve found such freedom in not needing to worry about a root touch-up every 4 weeks. I make sure my hair is well cut and in good condition and I’ve grown to love it! I heard someone say that transitioning to grey is not about letting yourself go, but about just letting go... I have found so much freedom in just holding onto that! Sending you love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️

I started finding gray hairs when I was 13 and now I'm nearly 37. I last dyed my hair 8 weeks ago and while I have dye here, I just haven't wanted to bother with it. My inch of roots are almost completely silver so I am taking the plunge and growing them out. I have a pixie cut, so getting rid of the color shouldn't take long. My next haircut is in 4 weeks, my hair is like to look like a mop by then. I'm so excited to see what the color is like though! Thanks for the video and the confidence boost to keep going! Your hair is amazing, I can only hope my hair looks even close to that!

You look beautiful and so does your hair. I'm six and a half months in and it's my second try and letting my roots grow. I waffle every day but I'm trying hard to stick it out.

Hello, your hair looks great. Very well said, I love your advice thank you for sharing your pros and cons. I'm on my silver grey journey, 6 months so far and I love it! So far I haven't gotten any negative feedback, I guess it's because I have light brown hair and the colors are blending together, now I have silver, medium brown and light brown hair all dancing simultaneously with each other, it's truly beautiful and it feels healthier as well. I can't wait to see my hair when it all grows out.🤗❤

Thank you for you video! I am 33 and I've found my first gray hairs on my head this year. I don't color my hair regularly ( like once a year with a shade or two lighter in the summer. I've decided to stop coloring all together and let my hair be all natural. I want my gray hair to grow in naturally as it increases over the next how ever many years. I don't want to have to ever go through a gray hair transition with colored hair so I thought I'd be best to let it grow in naturally in my 30's. Lol Love the advice and experience you shared.

Yes!!!! I once had an “ex” tell me he would leave me if I stopped coloring my hair. I now wonder why I let his opinion influence me but it did. I stopped coloring my hair a few years back and I absolutely love it. It is the same color as yours and I constantly am getting compliments. When people say they would like to go gray but fear it will be an “ugly” gray I tell them that it’s all in the products that you use. Anyway, your hair is gorgeous! Thank you for helping even one person who may be dectransitioning their hair color
