    Welcome to the official TH-cam channel of Nikol Johnson!�
    My Channel is about empowering women to show up and be BOLD, FIERCE, and Unapologetic. I talk a lot about this in my book Beauty Reinvented, available through Amazon! It's not just about going
    gray young it's about a powerful movement for women breaking out and having NO BEAUTY RULES.
    ➡ None of what I show on this channel is what “mainstream” TH-cam makeup tutorials will show you. Instead of telling you to put loads of makeup on (that makes you look like a different person),
    I want to show you how to “reveal” the beauty that you already have and teach you how to look GREAT- while still looking like YOURSELF.
    As the years go by, many women feel that their beauty and radiance go by too. I don’t believe this.
    I believe you can stay beautiful, confident, and feel fantastic even if you’re past 40, 70, 80, or 100 years of age.
    ➡ No matter your background or age, my goal is to help you on your journey. Whether through make-up/skin-care tutorials, product reviews, or health/wellness advice. I want to empower (and teach) women to show up and be BOLD, FIERCE, and UNAPOLOGETIC.
    Are you ready to embrace your authentic self- and start making YOUR OWN BEAUTY RULES?

    You are fortunate in that your gray hair is very thick. But there are a lot of us out here with gray hair that has thinned considerably. When I went looking for a wig to supplement my head, I was shocked to see that most of the gray styles are short and very aging. Someone needs to tell the wig companies that not all gray-haired ladies are old ladies! Perhaps you can help. It would be great to have options that are shoulder length and curly, with more youthful styling and current cuts in grays. And the grays should not be all silver, either. There are those of us who are rocking salt and pepper!

    I found my first gray hair at age 21, started permanent dye at age 30 and stopped at age 47 to embrace my totally silver hair. Three things that helped the transition: I frequently got the dyed ends cut a couple of inches at a time, I still kept dying my brown hair but went one shade lighter every time so that the last box that I bought was platinum blonde and lastly, I wore a headband when I went out that was very thin but had little teeth on it so it blended together,because my biggest dread was the dark/ light skunk line. Most of my friends didn’t even notice the “transition” part!🙌🏻

    I went prematurely salt and pepper with dark brown hair and started dying at 27, trying to maintain dark hair. Well that didn’t work, so I dyed medium blond until 62. Fast forward to about a year ago and I went for growing out and cutting out the dye color. What a surprising delight to have beautiful silver white hair under that. I wear a pixie cut, and the color is so much more flattering to my skin tone. I get so many compliments. I love wearing pink, blues and charcoal tops, so stunning to make my white hair a focal point. Yes to purple shampoo. About every 4 washes for me.

    Thanks Nikol for a short and sweet video consisting of a wealth of great advice. I’m five months into my greying and it’s coming along beautifully. If I pull my hair back, you would think I’m totally grey. I’ve been using the Pantene purple shampoo as you recommended in a prior video and it’s great. I have thick, full hair just like yours and when I want a sleek look, I use Sebastian’s Dark Oil. It smells fabulous and is not heavy on the hair nor greasy. You’re always rocking it Nikol and I’m always looking forward to your next video!

    I have fine curly hair that is fully gray. I don’t use heat on it at all. So other than using a purple shampoo every so often, I don’t do anything differently than what I did when I dyed my hair. I think my hair is shinier and healthier now. I think the amount of work gray hair needs is unique to each person.

    After 5 years of going gray, I never fell in love with it. I wanted to embrace it but I wasn’t as gray as I hoped. Consequently it was just not pretty and I felt drab. I decided I didn’t have to follow the trend and reintroduced color. I kept the gray but added high and low lights. Now it is multi-tonal and much more flattering. I also only wash my hair every 3 - 4 days. Purple shampoo is a must every 3rd or 4th wash. Spot treating with oil is a great recommendation.

Curling will literally fall out within an hour, hair spray just weighs it down...so I continue to look for the magic product.

    My daughter is a hair colorist. She said that natural gray/silver hair is not as porous as hair that has had the color removed. So, she made me a purple conditioner. Since I have natural gray/silver hair, my hair doesn’t pick up a lot of the color. However, it imparts subtle purple hues on ‘some areas only”. When the sun hits it it shines and the purple make the hair more silvery.

    Great video, I embraced going white in my 40s. Was salt and pepper in my 30s then hit the dyes, slowly getting blonder and then had a short cut to allow it easier to transfer. I was lucky to go white, and have thick hair. In the last year I have been introduced to purple shampoo in my late 50s. Years before my hair changed my hairdresser recommended only washing my hair twice a week to allow the natural oils to enhance my hair. A tip I have always used.

And yes, sometimes I look in the mirror and think who are you with this hair, but I just can’t see ever going back to dark brown.😀

I am going to find out if velcro rollers could give me more volume. My husband likes long hair. I like it also however, I did love having a bob similar to yours. I felt so pretty.

I've actually been avoiding having it styled because I was afraid I'd go back to coloring it out of frustration, so I've been cutting it periodically as it's made me crazy, but I'm finally at the point where it's pretty much grown out now and I'm getting it styled on Monday, so these are very timely and very helpful tips.

    This is an important video. When I was a CHILD probably into my 20s I washed my hair everyday (maybe not on weekends depending on where I was etc) but this was because during those years I was ACTIVE indoors/outdoors on the go out in nature, in the city (Houston). There is a LOT of atmosphere in Houston & surrounding areas. Plus products were involved. Now, in a different big city but not around bus & vehicle exhaust downtown (plus that exhaustthing is differentnow), different level/type of activity indoors/outdoors, different diet, I work from home - I definitely do not shampoo my hair everyday. Also, brushing helps stretch out the need to often. Thank you very much for this video. 💝

I already use all your tips which keeps my hair healthy. I used to colour my hair blonde once my dark hair became very gray. Hated the constant colouring and the gray roots. So my sister who is a hairstylist coloured my hair gray until it grew out all gray. Really helped in the transition period. I get so many compliments and always get told that I look younger with the gray hair.

    When I went fully silver, I was still using my 2 inch Helen of Troy curling iron that I got in beauty school. The problem is even though I use heat protectant it did scorch it. I also noticed that if I stayed out in the sun, it would turn yellow. So I use sunscreen on my hair when I am out for long periods of time. I love my silver hair and never wanna color it again. I am in the process of looking for the old fashion. Magnetic rollers to make a smoother luck. Love your channel.

    I decided to stop dyeing my hair seven years ago. I had no idea that my hair was mostly white. For about the first three years I used the purple shampoo, primarily because that's what I saw recommended. However, I didn't see any difference in the colour so I stopped using it. I suppose my hair is just naturally pure white with never an issue of the yellowing people seem to complain about. I honestly don't know why I have never had that problem. Perhaps it's related to texture or hereditary tendencies. Either way, I suspect that there is clearly a segment of gray-haired people who never have an issue with brassy or yellow hair.

    I've been highlight and low light free for the last 7 years and love my hair! It's long with layers but I started noticing some yellowing and used a purple shampoo. It seemed to dry out my hair. So after researching further, I learned that apple cider vinegar and water used before shampooing (once a week) worked so well! It is the best detox for my scalp and hair! Leaves it super soft and shiny with bright silver strands!

    The thing that I have done that has been transformative is to use a lot of good-quality oil (like pretty much any oil that could be used on the face) on all my hair and to leave it on for a while (minimum an hour, preferably overnight) before washing. If I do that, it doesn't matter how often I wash. I don't use heat on my hair though. I do have a purple shampoo, but it seems hard on my hair and so I only use it occasionally when it seems my hair really needs it. And I do try to use gentle shampoo and conditioning products, without fragrance.

    Hi! Wow! 😯 I’m SO GLAD I clicked on this vid, and found your channel! Since I’m currently letting my natural (white) hair grow out, this video has made me feel so much more confident in my decision! Thank you so much. I’ve been focusing on scalp health via my shampoo/ conditioner (a Korean brand, Moremo, is THE BEST!) & massaging. But I still have a constant fear of thinning! I’m sure I’ll learn more because I’m subscribing! 😊

    This video came at the right time for me as I’m starting my grey hair journey, I’ve been using Kerastase purple shampoo and conditioner for some time now also the deep cleansing shampoo every second shampoo, my hair only needs to be washed once a week or it’s a frizzy mess the evening I’m going to wash it, I put lots of Kerastase oil in it and leave it in while I go about my day, usually out in my yard and gardening, I have long hair and don’t want to get it cut if I can help it, I’m impatient and thinking of getting my hair stylist to strip all the old colour out and give it a slight trim off the ends, I used to always wear it in a bob like yours but it’s not as thick as it once was and don’t think it would sit as lovely on me anymore, it’s a Big Deal for us women who decide to grow out their hair, it would be great if you could just click your fingers and it would happen overnight, I don’t like the growing out process… Have a Great Weekend and a Great Week ahead Nikol. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺❤️❤️

    Your hair is so beautiful.
    I'm a blonde from birth. My hair was almost white for the first years of my life and I'm begining to get some gray in the front. I never use blow dryers, curling irons, colors, hair spray, etc.... I wash my hair every other day or third day with Dr Bronners Castiel Soap. It hangs to my knees and I've cut 4-6 inches off of the end twice in the last year. I use cocnut oil to get rid of the frizzies.
    You have great advice and your hair looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.

      Janet, I have found that the John Freida Frizz Ease Extra-Strength Serum is a must for frizzy hair. Even if you do not
      blow dry your hair, when your hair is 80% dry you can run a small amount through your hair. I live in the south and
      humidity certain times of the year is really bad. I always keep a bottle on hand for those days. The Frizz-Ease can be
      on Amazon or CVS/Walgreens.

You influenced me to try Christophe Robin cleansing purifying scrub. I was hesitant to purchase it because I don’t normally spend that much on myself but I could tell I had a build up on my hair so I bought it. I’ve got to tell you, it’s a wonderful product!

Then use Goldie Locks leave in spray conditioner. It’s a really fine mist, easy to apply. Work in, then either air or blow dry. Next day I’m still fine. 2nd day (as needed thru day 4-5), I use Amika “perk up” dry shampoo on roots and work in. Brings bounce right back. Then a squirt or two of Goldie Locks signature serem to add shine, and smells beautiful. That’s how I do it.

      There is a study you can find on line, that proves that rosemary tea and oil are just as good as rogain without the side effects. I am living proof that it works. If the scalp CAN STILL grow hair it is a miracle. It’s much thicker and grows faster now at 66 than it did in my 30’s. I still use rosemary a couple of times a week. The smell is awesome lots of compliments. There are videos on line on how to use. You won’t be disappointed.

      I have to use Rogaine, the 5% version. I went almost totally bald on top when I turned 60. I tried for three years to just use supplements, and I got some of it back, but then I had stress and it fell out again. Actually, I waited too long to start the Rogaine, because a lot of my hair follicles died. However, Rogaine helped a lot - I'm not bald anymore. I buy the off brands; I like Kirkland and the Equate Walmart house brand is good, too. About $12/month.

    I found purple drops for light blond/silver/highlighted hair that you can use with virtually any shampoo or conditioner, if you don't like the intensity, smell, or ingredients of purple shampoo products. The purple really does fight yellowing. I'm very envious of your thick hair, Nikol, I confess! I think it looks better silver than it did when you wore it dark. 😊
