I am only 31 and my all my hair turned gray. Everytime I cut my hair I have to dye. But after watching your video, I have now decided to keep it gray white. Thanks for the encouragement
Im ijAcK Cheers to you! I’m graying out at 31 (graying since my mid-teens) and my hair was falling out from dying it-plus health issues-in my late twenties. So, I stopped. I have dark brown hair and LOVE the gray and silver streaks that are starting to chunk together. I always wanted to go lighter, anyhow 😉
@@createplanprosper699 Great point !! I started greying at 31 (4 years ago now) and it's been the perfect excuse to go light after living life with dark hair ! And it's a great time to get creative with hair cuts too. It's really great that stigma around grey hair is dying as women are embracing their natural (and likely healthier) hair. :)
I started going gray around 23. Early gray runs on my fathers side of the family. Thanks dad lol.
@@rhiannonsheart7632 i started having gray in my teens. Now I’m 43 and I think I’m ready to let it go all gray. I’m tired of dying my hair.
How is it going for you so far.
Your hair is gorgeous, and when you pull it back and it's all grey, wow, it makes your face look so beautiful.
interestingly enough, you look younger with your grey short hair than your long black hair with a grey streak.
Right On love this comment! xoxo
That's what I thought as well!!
Manifesting Moni i agree....younger looking with short hair.
Manifesting Moni I thought EXACTLY the same thing!
I agree.It does make you look younger. Its because Jet Black hair is very harsh as you get older, it doesn't look good anymore. You have to start to soften your look. The grey around your hairline not only looks AWESOME, but because its a light shade and breaks the black away from your face it softens your face a lot. I LOVE IT!! Its probably a style I should have considered myself because I started this project of bleaching my whole head!!! LOL!
A very striking and dramatic look, much more interesting and complimentary than the solid black.
Thank you I felt like the black was getting too harsh also. xoxo
The same thought!
Well she is so pretty so everything looks fantastic on her.. Really gorgeous!!!
Nikol your hair looks fabulous! When your hair was pulled back off your face and alot more grey came through it softened your face drawing my attention to your eyes and creating a youthful quality to it. As someone else said "Your hair is amazing!"
About six months ago I shaved my head to embrace my natural color, I was so shocked how beautiful my natural gray hair turned out and I love love love the color. Embrace this women, it is so amazing and beautiful. Nikol you are beautiful, even in recent videos.
I never got compliments on my dyed hair color. Now that I have not colored it for 5 years everyone asks me who colors my hair ! Go figure! My hair is shiny steel grey with some white. It's beautiful. Just go for it!
Mrs. N beautiful in your opinion. . Steel grey sounds horrible.
You are just gorgeous! The silver/black is very sophisticated and classy! The whole package is amazing, even if you're all grey someday, you'll sport it with wonder! We'll all wonder how is she just so stunning?! You rock it, girl!
I applaud you! I decided to go gray at 37. I have gotten so many negative comments on my videos about it but I love my hair. You are right, it’s so simple! I love that the most. You are beautiful!
I am glad I found your videos. I used to have long very thick hair but my hair started to fall for over a year now. I used to cry daily because i was and still in shock. My doctors asked me to stop dying my hair and now I am following your inputs about your gray hair. I have two inches of gray now and my family hate it but I will not dye my hair anymore. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us
I let my hair go gray starting about 2years ago. I've never had so many compliments on my hair until now. Friends love it, my hairdresser loves it, but most importantly, I love it. Go gray ladies!!
Hi,am also getting lots of compliments about my graying hair and it does make me happy to just take the plunge not to dye anymore.👩🏼🦳
I love it! The mixture of gray and black is gorgeous! This encourages me to go gray.
She looks sexy with little grey hair in🔥
Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous this way! It suits you perfectly.
I stopped coloring my hair as a present to myself for my 35th birthday :) I just shared a video on my channel yesterday. It has been such a great experience for me. Your hair is GORGEOUS!
Awesome!!!! Way To GO!
You are also gorgeous all women are
Thank you so much for this video, Nikol! I love your positivity and honesty! I am almost 70 and began to let my gray hair grow out a year ago; I wish I had seen your video then! I have experienced all the emotions you spoke of, and even now I feel anxious and surprised when I look in a mirror. I guess I am not alone, yet I really have no one to talk with about this! Your hair is gorgeous! I admire your courage!Sara
Gray hair does not take your youth you look too young for gray still. And you look drop dead gorgeous with your hair like that
NO NO NO to gray!
Drop Pow Wow Dead.
That face, Reminds me of Tippi Hedren, if that's even her name. The Bird Lady...
JUST GORGEOUS
I love your hair. I honestly (with all my heart) feel that this looks a lot better than your all black hair. Your personality has just transformed with this hair color! I love it!!!!!!
Thank you for doing this video! I started getting grays at around 13 but it really grew fast last year when I turned 35. Dyeing it every couple weeks was making me anxious because the gray wouldn't take the dye very well. I tried different things and finally I said screw it! It's been about 3 months since I last dyed my hair and seeing someone closer to my age do it makes me feel good! Like I'm not the only badass going naturally gray! Thanks again!
Lol thanks Gracie way to rock the gray with me 💋💕💋💕
You are for sure NOT the only Badass going natually gray! There are tons of women feeling just like you and we all support each other. Going gray is not easy but it's so rewarding! So happy you are on your gray journey! Rock It and keep it up!
Hey i also found my first grey when i was maybe 12 years old but started rapidly to get grey hair at age of 25 now i am 36 but i found out that black sesame seeds can reverse gray hair
Nikol, you are not old enough, but back in the 50's, women paid BIG MONEY to have that done to their hair, that was very chic and on trend during that era. My mother had black hair naturally, and at the mid-to end of her 40's, a white streak came out in the front of her hair naturally, she was SO happy to have that streak! (I used to kid around and tell folks that that was "my streak" for the worry I put her through growing up, lol!) She was a very lovely woman (pale skin, black hair, green-brown eyes) very striking, and with a brilliant mind. (She and my dad were landscape designers and owned their own design/installation firm.) She wore couture in her youth and the women in her family (several sisters-my aunts) were knockouts as well.
I got my first several long gray hairs at 17 years old and also had so much at 32 years old! I stopped dying it at 42. I'm now 59; I have no wrinkles but I have finally gone totally white! I get stopped everywhere I go and get asked if I dyed my hair this way. I tell them too, "Nope, it grows this way! I just wash it and blow dry it out. It's so easy!" Like you said.
My hubby says retaining my "very dark" eyebrows has been a blessing even though my hair has gone stark white. I get stopped now more (even by quite young women) and get paid more compliments than when I ever got when I dyed my hair very, very dark brunette, my natural color. Your eyes and brows are very dark too, in fact, you are absolutely stunning BTW! I quite enjoyed your fun video. Thanks for posting it.
Sharon Anne Hill thanks Sharon I also get way more compliments on my hair than I ever did. That's amazing you are all white I am jealous!!!! 🙌🏻💋💋 thanks for stopping by! I love my white and silver fox sisters!
Your hair looks superb and so healthy. I think it really elevates your style and gives you an edge. It makes you look assertive. You said you had decided to embrace it, and it shows. It looks modern and youthful. Moreover, your hair is incredibly thick and beautiful. Also, the cut is so pretty. Great style!
This has got to be one of the best decisions you ever made. I am 69 with dark hair and some grey coming but not as much as yours. You have motivated me! And the cut was a very good idea. You look great.
I am inspired by your acceptance of the gray. Now I will embrace my gray! Thank you
First of all.. you are GORGEOUS!! Your face structure, your eyes, your teeth, your skin tone.. everything.. GORGEOUS!! You have so much hair, too, it is very luxurious. I'm 43 now but I've been gray for many years. I've considered letting go multiple times, but I always chicken out. If I looked like you I might do it. :) You look amazing! Also, when you pulled all your hair back (like a pony tail) you looked even better, younger even, than with it down. Though, I love the cut and style, so it all works. Beautiful!
Rosmery Hernandez-Casey thank you Rosmery ❤️😘
Yeah! I'm happy to find all these videos about going gray! I'm doing the same too! I hope my hair looks like yours soon! Beautiful and loving the bob! I'm getting ready for a long bob too. Keep it real and keep it natural.
Wow, this video is the video I wanted to make for years but never did. Due to a hair dye allergy, I had no choice but to let my sparkle come through. People gasped when they saw it, I was told "you're too young to do that", and obviously no one has ever come up to me and said, "wow, you look so much younger"! As women, we constantly strive through ego to always look younger. This video is perfect. You are absolutely stunning. People must stop you all day long saying how beautiful your hair is. That's called envy from those who wish they had the courage to let their own hair grow out but ego won't let them. If they only knew ... the majority of the population of men LOVE gray hair. It's a fact. ♡
Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by living a Godly life.
Prov. 16:31
Nikol, you look amazing, I am 38 and embraced gray hair since last year for health reasons too. Thank you
Finally a video with which I can relate! Being Greek with dark hair I was socked when I saw my first grey hair in my early 30's. But now after 10 years I believe it's time to embrace it than dying it every 5 weeks. Thank you!
February 2017 I decided to stop coloring and embrace our God given crown... Tired of coloring every 2 weeks I decided to find inspiration... so I found you .. encouragement , beauty and inspiration.. certain days were hard.. but I keep going forward.. thanks to sisters like you that are willing to share your courage.. I started the curly girl method and hid my growth thru my curls... now I’m tired of seeing long fake black hair and making the jump to go short n chic like you... plus I also share the love of pink.. 💗 Thank you so much 😊.. please share a video for maintaining your gorgeous hair.. Blessings 🙏
I've been coloring my grey since I was 22. I'm now 29 and was so sick of dying haven't dyed in about a year. Mine looks similar to yours lol. Thank you for sharing. Glad to see im not the only one out there going really grey early!
Thank you! Great advise, this is just what I needed. And I LOVE your grays! You look BEAUTIFUL with your natural hair color.
I'm 22 and I'm going grey. I went natural because I don't want to dye my hair for the rest of my life. I think there's no way I could look old at this point. You look great with your natural colour, younger actually :)
love it!!! Ive been watching many videos on going grey and your look is the one I love the most!
We’ve always been encouraged to hide our ageing, but we should be embracing it. I stopped colouring my hair six months ago and let the grey show. Great video!
Thank you for this! I caved and went back to dark because I don't have quite the striking look you have now...and you are STRIKINGLY GORGEOUS! But I think by 50 (I'm 44) I will have enough grey to have that kind of impact. You look amazing, and yes, it really is a major mental adjustment when you embrace it this young. It takes serious, serious confidence and strength. Which you clearly have, in spades. Thanks again for sharing your story!
Your welcome! I am glad I could share my story with you. I can't believe you went back to dark!!!! xoxo
ur brave I wish I was that confident but let's see its my front bk is k still I dye it soon as I see grey.help
omg. everyday, im like eff it ill just dye it!. Im 40 and my whole entire crown is growing out white! For years ive been repressing it, but now im just like come on already!
I know what you mean. I have random grays, a lot of them but not a lot of them lol. I wish mine looked like this too lol
Well i started graying when i was 12 year old but started rapidly graying when i hit 25 now I am 36 and i found the black sesame seed can help reverse gray hair but on women gray hair looks great tho
Just loving your hair so much, even tied back it changes your look, it looks fun and highlighted when back. You don't need to worry about looking older AT ALL! You look amazing! Thank you for sharing.
It was really shocking when I let my hair go gray. It was very brassy and I hated it! It was so white but I got some nice “lowlights.” Keep your hair hydrated, get a good stylist (they can help you so much) and use the best products for removing yellow that you can afford.. and listen to Nikol, shes got tons of great advice! Im rocking my gray hair now!
Oh my goodness, you are absolutely stunning. The hair is some of the most striking and beautiful I have ever seen. You rock this! Thanks for the inspirational video.
I started greying at 17... and am in my 2nd month now of growing it out (I am now 50). I can't wait. Mine is more silvery with a dark streak in the middle front now. Excited for the end result. I am grateful to have a thick head of hair just like you. Your hair looks amazing... you are stunning!
I think you look fabulous with that gray tone! And I like your current length much better than the long hair. Personally, I think you look fresher.
Thank you 💕💕
Love this video. You're so honest and I laughed at the bit about your husband, so true. I've been through fertility treatment too and so know how you feel about not sweating the small stuff anymore. My hair has started to go grey and I don't think I can be bothered starting to cover it, I can see how much hassle that would be so quickly. You've really inspired me, thank you. I also think you look absolutely stunning with the grey and black, its very chic.
Thank you Neets!
Your journey is so similar to mine! I also had black hair. I didn't consider going gray until my late 50's, but i the end went through MUCH of what you talk about in this video. I give you kuddos for doing this at a much younger age. You look fabulous!
I love the gray natural highlights. A friend of mine has a gray bob...all silver on the top layer and dark underneath...coolest ever!
I am doing this right now, 33 and I tried highlights but I looked worse than with natural hair. You look amazing ❤️❤️❤️
It's so inspiring, Nikol! I'm growing my grey hair too!
Hi, you posted this two years and five days ago, wow! I am 39 and have similar hair, just when I was contemplating dying my hair black again, I came upon your video, I will continue to embrace my white.
Crystal D that’s the spirit you will be so happy you stuck it out!!!! 🖤🌪🙌🏻
Omg I LOVE your hair. I'd pay to have that coloration. So much better than all black. You looked toooooo severe. You are GORGEOUS and funky like this!!
I love your hair! I’m 30 and I have so much gray, I have to embrace it like u!
I'm so happy you are back! You look absolutely radiant! 😍
Thank you Andrea! xoxo
Thank you so much! Im ready to do it! Ive noticed some women have been blessed with gorgeous silver grey (like you) and some have not. Looks great!!!
Gorgeous. Love your mentality. I’m considering going grey.
I am so very grateful for this video, Nikol!
Thank you thank you! I have the exact same greying pattern. I haven't been brace enough to embrace the grey yet but you've given me the confidence to try.
you look gorgeous 💝!!
Amen to that. I'd like to see her without any makeup at all
Vilma Martins love you
Vilma Martins dam you sexy women
Your hair color is just so beautiful..... Some call it, Salt & Pepper. I'm also in my mid forties, at first I was skeptical about sharing my story and going natural at this age. Your video just gave me the confidence I need to continue sharing my hair journey despite age, and greying hair. Of course, I had to subscribe and like.
Visy Visy TV YES!!!!! Keep going girl!!!! Rock it and never look back! I am so happy this video gave you a boost!!! Now go out and show the world who you really are!!!! 💋🙌🏻😘😘
Nikol Johnson: Well said. Thank you.
Awesome I am so happy that you are sticking to letting your gray come out! Keep it up Silver Sister! xoxo
this is my exact situation- dyed black hair and now three months into letting it go gray. I think your hair looks great!
I love the cut, I love how your colour works with you. Beauty!
Wow! Only JUST seeing this video tonight, and I really have to say, I think the Bob style suits you best! ❤
I'm 61 and started going grey at the age of 20, when I was pregnant with my eldest son (now 40!), just after the death of my infant daughter. For years I asked hairdressers to dye it grey, but they said they 'couldn't' so it was coloured mid-brown, til there was so much grey to cover it was suggested I went blonde for the last 20+ years, until in January 2015, (my middle daughter's 30th birthday), I asked my fab hairdresser to cut out all the blonde, and I was left with the most fab grey, spiky pixie cut, and have embraced the grey ever since, and its a nice chin length bob, now, which I really love! My wee Mum's just turned 81 and still gets her hair coloured every 6 weeks, but it costs her a small fortune, (£65 + tips), every time! 🏴
Nikol, I have just found your videos and I love them. I especially love these videos about your gray hair transition. I'm 54 and I still cover my grey hair with Demi-Permanant color with a volume 20 developer. So it's my own variation of gentler color and stronger developer for a Demi color. I have to get my color done every 4-5 weeks. My hair is thick and very wavy, I also
have lots of hair. I'm currently growing out a short cut back to a shoulder length bob and I'm now seriously considering allowing my grey to come in. I've always felt lucky to have good genes without lots of face wrinkles so I've had the mentality that I would look old if I let my grey in. Well guess what, 50 is kinda old...lol. I think this is a good time for me to jump on the grey band wagon...thank you for your inspiration you're awesome. I'm also very happy your eye surgery went well.
Thank you Connie and for the record 50 IS NOT OLD. Go for the gray and if you don't like it you can always dye it back! xoxo
You have great hair. This looks so beautiful on you. I am 4 months growing mine out. I am not putting any chemicals on my hair at this point. My hair is a natural dark brown. And the gray growing out looks similar in color to your hair. I have my fingers crossed that it will look similar to what you have going on with your hair. Because yours is turning out really beautiful. Thank so much for your videos. I really enjoy your knowledge on makeup and face creams. Your hair is so lovely
I really love you, your videos and your hair. But what I love most about you is your genuine and courageous. I’ve been on the fence about continuing to color or not to color my hair. I love that you have embraced every bit of yourself. You truly inspire me. Thank you. I think I’m going to try to not color anymore. 😊 Oh and by the way, I just subscribed! Thanks again! 💕🤗
Love this! I'm 35, and gray, gray, gray! Just decided a few months ago to let it grow. You look beautiful! Cheers!
I love it! Very flattering. You motivated me to begin my gray journey as well - I’m about 20 weeks in. Working with my colorist via a highlights/low lights plan and so far it’s working … for me anyway and that’s your point. Make it work for you so you’re comfortable with your own journey.
Love your hair!! It's so unique, your absolutely stunning
I ditched the dye this year March, I needed to chop off as much of my old colour so I have what I call my " meg Ryan " cut... Seeing & hearing your process so inspiring. Thank you so very much😊xx
That's great news, Robyn! So much healthier not to be dying your hair!!!! Good luck!!!!
Thank you so much for this video ❤️ I needed to hear ever you said.
My god, you are so pretty and I absolutely love love love your hair!!!!
Thank you for the motivation ..embracing it and moving forward!
I love the dark eyebrows. I am salt and pepper and decided to keep my eyebrows dark like my original color. Think it looks great!
This is so helpful! I have been fighting away heavy amounts of gray hair since before my mid 30s. I am now 41 and have wondered how much longer I can keep this fight up. Thank you for sharing how you began your transition to a beautiful head of gray hair.
I ❤️ the bob, and your hair's so thick!
I've kept a shoulder length haircut since my early 30's...it's a lot easier to maintain and makes me look younger and fresh!
Starting going grey in late 30’s got tired of coloring and the grey coming through the next week. I love my greys.
You are gorgous. Your hair is naturally highlighted in areas and it's beautiful. Grey does not equal old it equals beauty. I'm right at the start of my journey and watching all these videos is helping me get my head round it.
So exciting the beginning is very challenging and interesting at the same time.
Thank you you inspired me to embrace the silver grey. I have a very similar story, going grey very young and none of the women in my family allowed their hair to go grey...even my 89 yr old grandmother continues to die her hair. I found a hair stylist that loves my grey and we did a big chop and now I'm rocking a bob.
I took your advice and keep it styled all the time.
Awesome!!!!!
I absolutely love your look!!
STUNNING!!! You look incredible with the gray. So so so pretty.
This is stunning!! Absolutely stunning!!!
Thank you xoxo
Your hair is GORGEOUS!
Serious hair goals. It's stunning, and exactly what I want to go for.
You’re the inspiration I needed to stop the dyeing . I’m so much happier now
You look beautiful, it suits you and you have a lot of full lustrous hair.
Thank you! I am getting used to the gray now :-) xoxo
You are gorgeous and your hair is remarkable. I'm 29 and I have a lot of scattered grays on both of my temples but I wish I had a full stripe or a lot like yours. We'll see what happens throughout the years. People sometimes say that I should dye it and it's annoying to me. Why should I? I like it. It's a part of me. I'm obviously young and no matter how much gray I have, my face still looks young so you cares!? Your hair and the amount of gray that you have, look soooo good! I love everything about it. Rock it!
I had a very similar experience, but didn't realize I should go with natural gray until age 57--good for you to be brave enough to conquer the inevitable at a much earlier age. You look absolutely fabulous!!
thanks for this video! I'm really thinking about it! Love your hair!
You look stunning!! Love your hair!
Thank you xoxo
You are GORGEOUS!!! Looks intentional, it’s so beautiful!
Hope the fertility went well for you
I absolutely love your hair color. I just turned 55 and my greys are really coming out more. I dye my hair every 6 weeks but now that I missed my appointment 2 weeks ago I really thinking of just embracing my grey hair and letting it see were it goes . I’m not 100 percent sure if I can do it but I’m going to give it a try ❤️
Go for it and if you don’t like it dye it back!
You truly look amazing. Love it!
Wow you and your hair is gorgeous. I am so inspired by you. I'm growing my grey out and my grey is like yours, mostly in the front. I think it looks great and I am encouraged. Thank you!
Love your haircut and gray hair, beautiful!
You look amazing Nikol!! The pattern of your grey and natural dark hair is enviable and people would pay a fortune to replicate that look I'm sure... so unique and classy and not the least bit ageing on your beautiful face! I didn't quit dyeing until I was 43, by which time my hair was almost entirely white... I SO regret missing out on that gorgeous two tone stage that you're going through. If I had seen this video of you 10 years ago I would have quit dyeing instantly. I really hope it encourages other younger women to embrace their naturally changing hair colour, so that it becomes more the norm and women will no longer feel 'it's no fun going grey in your 30s' and instead start thing 'woahh I'm SO lucky to have this unique and beautiful hair that is all mine and different to everyone else'. You are living proof Nikol that going grey in no way detracts from or ages a beautiful woman and can in fact enhance beauty if taken care of and worn stylishly.
Thank you Lou 💕💋💕💋
I love the two colours. That looks fab as it is!!
Your hair looks Amazing!!!
Sasha Peck thank you 💋💋
I agree. So cute. So hot.
Nikol Johnson I agree too. Absolutely gorgeous:)
Excellent Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Dinanlinson Bright Colour Approach (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for learning how to get your natural hair color back without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend after many years got cool results with it.
I lost my hair to chemo thoa past year and when it grew back i found myself with so much grey and very curly hair. My husband and children absolutely love ut but i have mixed feelings about it. Sometimes i love it. Usually when i use a straightener and ither times like when its curly i hate the grey. Do you think the grey looks so much better on straight vs curly hair? I love curls just not with the grey. Am i crazy? Trying to decide if i should dye it a dark brown. Sorry this is so long
Nikol, I just turned 38, and the grey patch above my left ear is finally prominent enough to face this decision. I am AMAZED that women have to face this transition with any stigma whatsoever, and I am even more sad that it's so uncommon for us to talk to each other about it! So, thank you for sharing this part of your life journey with me--it's very much appreciated. I could probably continue to dye my hair naturally with henna (as I have been doing for a couple of years now, for fun as well as to cover the grey) but I'm growing out a short hairstyle right now, and I think it's the perfect time for me to transition to my natural color--whatever greys may come. Thank you for giving me that boost of sister-strength to go for it.
Krista Kubie oh so wonderful I am happy to hear you are going to rock it! This is the perfect time since you have a short hair cut!!! I know it's going to look awesome and you are going to look back and think "Why didn't I do this earlier" congrats!
Thank you for sharing; love your hair! I've had grays since 8th grade, and finally at 34 I'm just going to, as you say, embrace it!
You look great!
And you are absolutely not alone, I am 29 now and I started getting gray in my early twenties.
You so rock your grey/black hair! I love that you are embracing the grey. I also started getting grey in my mid-20's. I'm still coloring my hair but plan to let it go within the next few years.
Yes Sheila let it go natural!!!!! If I can do it anyone can!! 💋💕
Love your gray! Gorgeous! I went silver 4 years ago and I get more compliments than when I had hi lighted light brown. You gotta own it.
Beautiful hair! I'm currently embracing the grey. I will be glad when it all grows out!
Yes that's the hardest part the growing out phase but once you are through it You Will Love It!
I love your hair. Looks amazing and so natural. You look great.
I love your hair! Whenever I see ladies with gray hair I Always compliment them.
