I’m in my early sixties. I have been colouring my hair since I was a teenager. During lockdown I stopped colouring it, and just carried on. This year was pretty horrible in our family. Illness, and end of life care of my father. I even stopped washing it. It grew almost to my waist. My daughter hated it, she called it hag hair. I just kept it twisted in a top knot and pretty much forgot about it. Three months ago we got a puppy. We were told to get a crate for it, which we did. It cried every night. So one night I let it stay on the bed, it snuggled down happily beside me and went to sleep. In the morning My top knot had been chewed to oblivion. While I was sleeping the pup chewed the life out of it. I had no choice but to take some scissors and cut the whole thing off and watched it as it flushed away. So it’s like a Bob now. But the way I cut it off wasn’t tactical , I just hacked the thing, but it seemed level. Dog is still on the bed, and I wear a beanie now. I’d love to go as silver as you, but mine is sort of a slate grey.
@@Tenzin62 thank you for your comment. So sorry about your recent loss…. Such a difficult time for you and the family. A puppy I can imagine was a welcome distraction (I have dogs too), but oops can’t believe they ate through your hair, what a little rascal…. But I can imagine the cuddles and fun a puppy provides. I think with silver hair, people do associate silver hair with aging but in the last couple of years it’s become a bit more empowering to let it all grow through, but to get a good cut, keep it conditioned and own it, like the crown it is….
Ahh, Hazel, that was so funny, and I also 👏🏾 love your 'dad joke' snippets 😅. You did a fab job cutting, but I don't think the disclaimer was necessary... 😂 it's clear you're no pro.!!. Regardless, your hair looks blinkingfantastic.... embracing your silver was your best move... look how health it is! LOVE LOVE LOVE it ❤
You know I don’t usually do the Dad jokes…. But opportunity was there 🤣 With YT they like you to make disclaimers, and say ‘alleged’ and also credit music, to ensure you don’t get sued! Better safe than sorry. But thanks for hair comment, I do love my hair…and grateful for it too 🙏🏼
Haha bless you, that’s funny. My mum use to tell me when I was younger that the more I cut it the faster it grows. And I still don’t know if that is true or not 🤷🏼♀️
@@Chutney_Live thank you, I did rewatch it back and noticed that too, drove me mad that I didn’t see it at the time . And yes it didn’t even occurs to me to show the back. 🙈
Where I got my inspiration from.

You are a brave lady 👍and you have a very pretty color silver not washed out grey. I love your natural waves too .🤩
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I have stopped fighting the waves and the grey and embraced them both and good things are happening… 🙏🏼

Thank you so much Mimi 😊

Hi can you link the video you watched
@@lindaalden2867 th-cam.com/video/BPS3Ts_bZVI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yHULzh2S5miQnEf6 here you go…. I’ve pinned it in comments too.
i just paid £17 for a dry cut at my hairdresser's in Lincolnshire.
Wow bargain…
Wow, my hair grows so slow it only gets cut every 3-4 months. If I want to change the style, I have to decide 4 years in advance!😆
Haha bless you, that’s funny.
My mum use to tell me when I was younger that the more I cut it the faster it grows. And I still don’t know if that is true or not 🤷🏼♀️
The right side (without the rose) is a little longer.
Otherwise, good result, although I would have liked to have seen it from behind.
@@Chutney_Live thank you, I did rewatch it back and noticed that too, drove me mad that I didn’t see it at the time . And yes it didn’t even occurs to me to show the back. 🙈
Love the blow drying at the beginning of the video! Haha 😂
I had fun making this video… wanted to keep it all real 😝
