Hello, I made a few adjustments over time. I eventually removed the multi-water system and went for a single system with a bigger cup. The hens kept flicking the straw and it was getting into the the small cups making it difficult to get fresh water. I also made sure the bigger cup was high enough and in a place where the hens wouldn't get straw in the water. It was much better after that. These cups are larger and fill automattically when they get low. Check on Amazon. You can use a bucket with more than one cup to it also. They can easily just be plumbed in drilling a hole on the side of the bucket with the proper rubber rings to keep the water from spouting out the sides of the hole. I eventually moved the hens outside, as I needed more use of the garage area.

Thank you <3

It's good for others to read the comments before going to the salon, so they get a good view of the possibilities of what can happen. Oh, the lessons we learn through these moments. Yes, I get it. For some, hair does not grow that quickly. Hang in there, you'll get your long beautiful hair back in good condition!

I have lots of delicious super healthy meat free meals I can share. I'll have to get on that!

Oh thank you! I never imagined I'd like being grey. It's been a fun and interesting journey for sure. ;)

Since being in this dyed to natural process I haven't settled on a product yet. Once I get past the processed hair grow out then I'll know better what to choose.

Thank you, and great question. Be sure to watch the next video's. I agree, the salons charge a lot of money for simple wash and cut and when you do your own you are in control. I mostly trim my own hair until I need big cut and a pamper me day. For the bleach in the back I went to a supply store got good advice on bleaching myself and just bleached from the dyed part down. If you put bleach in the grey part (to feather it as the hairdresser suggests) the grey will turn yellow and really, to me, it's pointless because then you're waiting for that bleached out part (on your grey hair) to grow all out. Once you bleach out all the dye, and for me it took a couple of times to really lift the dye, then at least you're dealing with a base that can then be toned to a grey that matches. I have gone from the toner, to actual permanent dye. The toner barely lasted in the bleached out part after a couple of washes, so I used a permanent snowy grey color, which matches and works much better. Having said that, because everything has been stripped from the bleached part of my hair the color doesn't hold as long, so I put a protein solution in my hair, before colouring, so it will take the dye better. Now, the bleached part of my hair with the permanent dye holds longer, about 3 weeks, if I don't wash my hair too often and keep the water a little on the cooler side. Hope that helps to give you a gauge of what to expect. ;)

Hang in there. Be sure to check out my other videos so you can see the progress. There is hope!

Oh my, thank you. June Lockhart was a classic actress. I love ALL the golden era movies and shows. I do remember her. It's time to take the plunge and embrace your crowing glory! Thanks for joining my channel and stay posted!

You’re welcome 😊 It's really easy to bend to going to the salon. You think they know best or get what you're wanting. This is what happened, even after I had a thorough consultation interview. I wish I would have bleaches it out myself and sought to another route. I'm a year and half now past that time and my hair is slowly getting to what I want. Now it's just a matter of cutting out the bleach. This is easy enough to handle. Can't wait for it to be over. In the meantime I try to make the process bearable. Stay posted... new videos are coming!

Toner was used in the colouring process. The hairdresser put it on all the grey, which was discussed in the pre appointment interview NOT to do. Then she did it. The toner faded away quickly after I washed my hair multiple times to get rid of it. However, it was such a heavy colour that it left the white grey a bit dingy afterwards. It still took a while before the grey reappeared again. Check out the update video and you'll see what happened. ;)

I'm glad it helped. Sometimes we just go through a blah stage and the first thing we do is try to change our hair. Maybe watch a few more of my videos before heading to the salon. You don't want to get persuaded into dying when you feel vulnerable. A new undo and a make over can make you feel refreshed and youthful again. Hang in there... it'll be worth it!

Thank you! I never thought I'd ever look good as a blonde and never even tried to. Now, with my hair going grey it sort of feels like I'm in that colour zone more. Especially since I've had to bleach out the rest of the brown.

I use a variety of brands. Maybe I should do a turtorial in one of my videos on application and colour blends.

I have not noticed any change in my health since stopping the dye. I have a very clean diet so it could be that my system has been dealing with it without me even knowing. We often live with breakdowns in our bodies because it's been a gradual process in adapting to the invasion. We learn to live with things we shouldn't. I know many women are sensitive and surprised to realize the dye had been causing them problems all along. Tattooing has it's potential seepage dangers as well. Anything unnatural is just that and always has the potential of harming us. Some people are just more sensitive than others. If you do choose to go grey now you will still look vibrant. And you never know how your lovely locks will create a new trending look!

Boys are fickle. Lol. But mostly I think guys do like the dye because they like so many others associate grey with aging and looking run down. It doesn't have to be that way. Us women, in our menopausal stage in life, can change that stigma of aging to death and present ourselves as vibrant, radiant women who are ready to take a new lease on life! If you've been thinking on taking the great grey leap for a while, maybe you're being nudged to release more of the beauty just waiting to bloom <3 You want to see what the bloom looks like.

Thank you <3 When you look after yourself while you're still young it can hold a long time. Aging seems scary to the young, so we need to make it unscary and show a different way. When I'm out an about town I can't help but notice older women with grey hair. Mostly short grey hair. I can see their potential to look radiant if they only made an effort. Some women have natural radiant beauty and don't need any cosmetic help at all. For so many women who are devoted to dying, just so they don't look old, they would stop dying if they could just see their potential. For many women who are aging, it seems they've given up on any hope of maintaining their youthful beauty. It all begins with a smile and youthful attitude. ;)

Thank you ;)

You're right, there is so much in life to embrace as we enter our best years! As we release that dying bondage we discover our beauty has another layer yet to be discovered.Glad you're back!

I've changed my shampoo and conditioner a few times so I'm not quite settled on any particular brand just yet. I do buy from the salon so I know I'm getting quality. Eventually I'll find the right brand. I think it's important to use a good conditioner to help keep it from going wild. You may consider using a hair spray to keep those unruly strands under control.

Thank you! You've made great progress. I went S&P in my early 40's too. You will enjoy as it transforms into it's unique colouring pattern. We never know how it will all turn out in the end. My mothers hair became whiter as she advanced, so I'm expecting my very white grey in front to increase. We can have a joyful expectation of these changes ;) Hang in there!

Be sure to check out my clay chicken also!

I will for sure! I have a MILLION delicious recipes that are super healthy and a variety of diets from vegan to gluten free, to raw foods. It's taken me years to perfect my menu and so delicious! Thanks for requesting it! I'm glad someone did ;)

As older woman we certainly have a lot of experience. Hopefully we share our advice in the right moments, so that it is welcomed also. Grey hair is a sign of wisdom because it takes years to develop. ;)

Well said! Beauty tips always mention face products but forget we have a beauty that is waiting to be expressed <3

My goodness, what an ordeal! It sounds like you have made some discoveries to help you through your next steps in you journey. Barbara O'Neal is amazing! I bet your grey Pixi style looks stylish! You have tapped into your youthful side. Embrace it and enjoy every bit!! Thanks for your comments ;)

Thank you for your comments. Yes, the information on diet has been misled by institutions. Following calories is not the answer, rather following the nutrients is the way that leads to healing health issues and the way to the fountain of youth! For those of us who have grown out from the dyed process, through those greying years, have no clue how the pattern of grey looks. It's a bit of a surprise to see it in the fulness. We can work with what we have and have a beautiful experience through the grow out process that will last.

I'm so glad! Hang in there, more's on the way!

Oh, I'm so glad you feel motivated! Sounds like you're on the right track. Fine tuning is SO possible! Treatments are allowed when they give you that boost. I get it! Thanks for the comments ;)

Thank you ;)

@@therenaissancewoman2080 thank to you for be so Pretty

Hahahaha! You're welcome! Yes, cold turkey is the safe way to go. You got this!

No, she went over top of all the natural grey. Not what I asked for, so it's taken another year to grow out the natural again. Check out the update video.

That's great! Proceed with caution. Try a test strip first. You're in control of how this plays out. I'm glad my videos have helped you to get a perspective on what is possible and what to look out for. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing!!

That's great! Enjoy the journey <3

When you have long hair and want to hold onto it this process takes longer. As you can see it's a long journey that takes you into moments of wonderings and curiosities. If you bleach out the old dye be so careful not to get it into your new grey growth or it will turn yellow too. It's still a process to keep toning it as it washes out but I find I can handle it knowing there is an end to it all. Just find what will work for you ;)

@@therenaissancewoman2080 Yes! It really is a journey! I’m going to enjoy it 😊 Thank you so much! I appreciate your content!

I regretted going to the salon and having this done. It's not what I asked for or was promised and assured of in the consultation. I personally would not recommend it because they can just turn and decide to do their own thing. I lost a whole year of growth. It took a long time for the toner to come out because it was so dark. Not what I asked for at all. Just hang in there with the grow out. I felt confident enough I could do a wash out bleach only on the old brown dye part, without touching the new grey. It's good for viewers to see the stages of what can happen and how things can turn bad. Lesson learned. I hope others learn from this. Just hold on and do fun undo's to help get you through the process. ;)

@@therenaissancewoman2080 Thank you so much for the reply! Yeah, I’m going to need to wait it out I think. I’m so glad I watched your video!!!

Thanks for dropping in <3

I'm glad this is helpful. As we grow out our natural grey we go through the whole process of wanderings about what to do with our hair after a certain point. It is a challenge to hang in there and when you think of doing something... like what I just did, you can see the whole process. Hang in there. It does get better!

Yes, let it grow out naturally!! I'm still on the grow out journey, which will be another two years. My hair grows slowly. I've discovered the toner does not stay in as long as I would like. The good news is that it will all eventually be cut out. Thank you for your feedback and kind words. Stay posted another video is coming up. AND hang in there!!

Hi Cynthia, thanks for your feed back! Yes growing out your natural grey and keeping the long hair is such a challenge. For those of us who want to keep our long hair takes much patience. I will be posting another update... and another special Miss Dress up is coming up also! So stay tuned in!!

I went through a similar process watching both videos.

Us women need to keep inspiring one another to hang in there and revel in the changes and beauty life gifts us with ;)

Thank you! Cheers!

Oh, you had that done to you too! With long hair it takes forever it seems to grow that out. How unfortunate. Glad it's grow back for you. I'm still waiting, and waiting. I'll have a new video out soon so you can see what the latest is. Thanks for dropping in <3

Hang in there! It will grow back.

May I suggest using a permanent silver that will match your new grow out. Toners don't stay for long. That way it'll give you some time for your hair to grow out. Hang in there!
