    Started going gray in my 30s..didn’t bother me. Met a man in my late 40s..he asked me what I was going to do with my grays. I colored it and started breaking off the following month. Never again! I love my gray curly hair against my skin tone. Getting older and gray doesn’t bother me but living in Colorado..oh my goodness! These folks out here are very bold in telling me about my gray hair. I go back to NYC..not bothered but out here..grandma, senior discount..oh..you have gray hair. Umm..yes I do and why does it bother you!?! Yes..folks out here are youth obsessed! I’m confident in my skin and leave me be!! Enjoying your content!

    Thanks for these important words. I stopped coloring my hair in March 2019. The only reason I didn't stop ten years before is because I wasn't gray enough. Finally I just said to it I'm out. I never looked back. It's a 💯 confidence booster. Never have I received so many compliments. Never. What makes us doubt ourselves is adding sh be it hair dye, injections, even makeup. How many x have you had a mishap because an "improvement" went wrong...grays popping out makeup smear, skin eruption, wardrobe malfunction etc. the more we faking, the more insecure we are. It builds on itself. We have to learn to appreciate our nature selves and stop believing we are ugly if we don't conform to someone else's standard of how we should look. That is a losing battle and ain't nobody got time to be chasing bullshit.
    You Look Amazing!

    I'm so glad I found you...The New Narrative! I have been going through a lot of transition in My life lately, and one of the transitions is Me turning Gray. I wear my hair natural in a fro & I'm starting to do different stylings and it's exciting😊. It's exciting to see My hair evolve into something beautiful in each step of the journey & it's great. So thank you so much, God bless you!

    Great video and yes that red lip with grey hair makes it pop!! 💋💄The pandemic allowed me to start embracing. I dyed it one last time with Adore which I'd always used their reds. I did a black rinse it didn't take 😮I was so pissed. I said I wouldn't be investing that amount of time in dying my hair again. That was a few years ago now I'm struggling with length 😊. It grows so quickly as it's now fully natural just trying to find my signature hairstyle. About to cut it down with clippers. I've also left hair salons behind.

    • @thenewnarrativewithsylvie

    Thank You for this wonderful video. I was putting natural henna in my hair for 13 years and henna is a permanent hair dye.
    The last time I put henna in my hair was the month of April 2024. I am amazed how the roots of my gray hair grew out so much in the last 5 months. I will keep trimming the ends of my colored hair once a month. I am loving my gray hair transition. Thank you for your support on gray hair. 😊

I love it now, because its easy and wash and go. Its been five years and I am always looking for new styles and colors to enhance my gray.

I cut my hair very low - buzz short and feel so confident I feel bold and fearless and have been receiving so many compliments . . I can’t believe I was fearful to embrace my grey for so long . You are so right about engaging with other mature ladies who are embracing the their grey hair .

    Gray hair is a badge of honor. Being comfortable in your skin and wearing your crown of glory is the ultimate goal of thanking the Most High for your life. The journey is different for each of us. Therefore, embrace what you have been given.
    G.R.A.Y. is the acronym for Grace, Regal, Accomplished, and Yearning.
    I have the Grace of a queen.
    I am Regal in stature.
    I am Accomplished in my duties as a mother, sister, and friend.
    I Yearn to be all that I can be.

    You’re cute so you rock whatever hairstyle you decide. For us average looking girls, we need a lil color and also, unfortunately grey hair ages Black women in particular.

    • @thenewnarrativewithsylvie
      @thenewnarrativewithsylvie  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @rhythmoflove2 Some who knew me before going grey STILL think I should be coloring my hair and that I look older now. I will not. It's a personal choice. It's an attitude. Regardless of attractiveness (which is relative), one needs to develop the attitude and confidence to combat the boxes that society puts women in -- Black women in particular. But at the end of the day, whatever makes you feel most comfortable is what you should do.
