Chemo therapy at 54 put me on the fast track to accepting my grey/silver hair as it grew back. Now I adore it.
Seeing woman in their late 60’s with tinted hair just looks silly to me now. Embrace your natural transition! So happy to see this content being shared .
You’re so right. Seeing an older woman with obviously dyed hair looks unnatural. Also, our skin tone changes as we age, and dyed hair does NOT compliment it.
I’ve been transitioning to gray for about 20 months. Even though I’m 70 I am probably only about 30 percent gray and I love how my natural hair is a pretty dark brown with sparkles all over. The benefit is freedom from the salon visits and also the health of natural hair. Nikol you are so caring and positive. Thank you for showing us the way!
Glad to read your comment
I too am turning 70 and have brunette Virgin hair with only about 15% grey and I love the placement and natural highlights I have but I want more.
You were such a huge inspiration for me to FINALLY do it. Cold turkey…cut the last of the dye off Dec 2919 and never looked back! Thank you ❤️
I am in awe of Jack Martin! The most interesting part of his posts that stand out to me, is the way in almost every case the woman's skin seems to just glow at the end. It shows me how harsh those artificial colors made me look. I always think the woman looks younger at the end!
I’m 19 months into my transition but dying to see this xx
Bold, fierce and unapologetic! Thank you beautiful lady! That's the perfect mantra for this bizarrely socially weighted transition for women - I mean, seriously, where are the thousands of videos of men sharing their transition to grey!!!!?
I cut my hair to a pixie when I had chemo - I was a curly red head. But after the treatments I was white in the front, red patch and blond patch in the back - I looked like a calico cat with straight hair, which was amusing. I went to my stylist and we decided to go with the dominant colour - so toned and then white. Three months later I developed darker roots so I just tone them out. My hair is strong and healthy and I am letting it grow. I swim everyday (I wait a few days after I have it treated) but I use a silicone cap which does not pull my hair, actually my hair does not get wet. So that's my grey story. I have a blood cancer so I am plagued with dark circles around my eyes. Your videos on dark circles, colour correcting and you eye lip primer (which I buy 2 at a time) have fixed my dark circles for the first time in my life. You have given me confidence in my look - I don't always look sick, tired or chalky - so thank you, thank you, thank you. Your videos inspire and encourage me - bless you!!
@Sandy Gereau God Bless You! I wish you as many happy days as possible. 🙏
💗💯💗💯🙏🏼
I’m 31 and honestly cannot WAIT to go GREY 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
“Yup I’m doing this”! I love that advice
I am so happy you spoke of gloss!…my daughter-in-law is my stylist, I am going in for a gloss!… glad to hear you loved it!
HI, I have just brushed out my dreadlocks of 5 years and discovered grey hairs. I have looked forward to going grey since I was 15, I love grey hair. Thank you for the video because I was unsure whether to dye it or leave it while transitioning. I think it is going to be exciting just to leave my hair natural for the first time in my life and enjoy the natural process. I turned 50 and I definitely feel empowered after watching you, thanks.
Since my twenties I’ve always had a gray streak on my left side; I am 43 now and it’s been a year since I’ve dyed my hair and I LOVE IT! I’m always getting compliments…
I'm 41 and started going gray in my mid 30's. Because of Covid I have been covering my head at work (I'm a nurse) and I have let my gray hair come in. I'm loving my natural highlights! I'm not ashamed or offended by people's comments on the amount of gray hair I have. I'm a rebel by nature and this just makes me feel even more rebellious! It's nice to be different and feel great about it. Thanks for inspiring!
Beautifully said!❤
Thank you Nikol. You have been an inspiration on my journey. Started February 2019 and with a good support system and hairdresser/friend and cutting the hair, I made it .18 months it took in total.
I love it! Keep it going!🥰
I MUST TELL YOU, YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STREAK,...STYLED..HAIR I EVER SEEN..HUGS AN LOVE BARBIE LOCKETT
I once read "go where there is no path and leave a trail" and you exemplify this. Viewing you for the past few days has given me courage to continue in my cold turkey journey
P.S. I am Indian and we still have very conventional beauty standards
I concur with you Priyanka. I am also an Indian and I have just started my Chandani look☺️ and trying to blaze the trail in my circle 😊
Thanks Nikol. I I’m trying to go grey. You had greatly encourage me. Thanks for the support.
Thanks for another encouraging video, Nikol! You have been such an inspiration to me during my transition the past 20 months. So glad I discovered your channel early on. Hope you have a lovely day.
No more chemicals on my brain 🧠 and in my eyes. After dying my hair platinum, I realized my roots ARE platinum!
I’m not gray yet but I have always said I’m not ever going to be a slave to color in a bottle! I’m going to embrace my gray because I have earned every single one. I do have a husband who is going gray who I call my silver fox. He’s not so sure about his gray but I tell him be grateful that you have hair! A lot is men your age would kill for a head of hair like yours! Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us! Love your show!
In 2009, I transitioned from coloring my hair by shaving my head. It felt very liberating. Until it grew out, though, I got a lot of odd looks and questions of “Are you trying to be a man?” Had your “going grey” videos were around at that time, it would’ve made the transition easier.
You are so inspirational! I’m going to transition to gray hair. Thank you, Nikol.
I went gray on my 29 and never ever color my hair, I feel good and my mom always said to you, if you feel good that what it matter. People that don't like it or think what ever, they have 2 issues look at you or not. My husband always love it and for me that all it matter to me.
I needed this video today! Been feeling LOW, my transitioning is so slow & my grey looks so DRY.
I need a trim & your Products sound great. Thank You so much.
Nice meeting you, I really got a lot of encouragement from your video, thanks a ton
Nikol, I love your videos. They are always so upbeat and interesting. Thank you!
Luv your hair & your color
I started to go white not gray in my 40’s my co-workers at the time told me if I wanted to continue to claim the corporate ladder, I needed to dye my hair. So I did and now I’m in my early sixties and at the end of my career and I’m thinking of just letting my hair go naturally., but I’m afraid to.
Awesome video 👩🏻🦳🥰 I’m 20 months in cold turkey, I still have a few inches of blond left and will cut it in the spring to be fully transitioned as I like my hair a bit longer. I was like you from the start, I felt bold and fierce, still do. Thank you for everything you do 🙏🏼🥰
Loved your early hairstyle. Youthful and fresh!
Dear Nikol, you once mentioned a very expensive perfume that's got a spray you put in your hair that's much cheaper. What is it called?
Thank you.
I went cold turkey at the beginning of the pandemic. I was thinking about it for about 2 years before that but because of my corporate job I didn't think it would look great professionally. Like you, I felt insecure, not very attractive, all the things. I managed it by wearing hats, headbands and scarfs. I think the secret is to keep your hair healthy and well trimmed throughout the process. I kept up my hair trims and always styled my hair as I usually did. You were one of my inspirations and I used to show your picture to my hairstylist. I recommend going cold turkey. You learn so much about yourself during the process. You are right - you must be ready - you're either in or out.
You are such an encouragement Nikol, thank you! 🇨🇦💗
You are so encouraging Nikol! Thank you!!! I am 16 months into my transition to gray. It has been very hard but is is getting much better as I can really see the finish line.
Been silver for 21 years. Cold turkey, never looked back. The straight bob looks amazing on you.
I love my gray hair! I went cold turkey too Nikole! I remember you saying as I was transitioning that it’s just a color….that stuck with me. I have tons of compliments on my hair now….especially from men who love the natural look. I will never go back to dyeing my hair. I feel fabulous and free! Thank you for your videos…you look beautiful always!
It's been well over a year, now, and it's incredible how shiny my hair is! I've chosen to no longer "die" my hair. It's platinum silver....and I love it!
You should update your photo!
@@cynthiabercaw3462 thanks....forgot about that. 😀 I actually was waiting till it fully faded before I took a new pic. I hated grey hair and absolutely hated seeing it, and lived in henna, so it's still a bit grombre but I'm just allowing it to fade out. Another 2-3 mths and it should be completely platinum. Thanks again.
@@Cat-no8ts Ahhh that's better! Gorgeous!!!
I love my silver. I started May 2019, and cut first to a pixie-bob, later to a pixie and was fully transitioned by October 2019. I’m now growing it out, and am about shoulder length right now. Going through the transformation is empowering. I absolutely love my silver!
Exactly what I did...I stayed focused. But as it was winter that helped a lot. Then, I started getting compliments, which I didn't and couldn't believe..until my Brothers said same. It's Such a relief not to worry about roots showing 😔😔...Only negative is, I can't go to the Disco... anymore...
Who says you can’t go to the disco anymore?
Go to the Disco. Of course you can!
I just love your confidence and positive vibes that you send out in your videos! I'm going on 64 and still go back and forth about not dying my hair. I love it when I see it on other women, including you !
Thank you for your inspiration. I am finally going to do it. I am still beautiful.
I tried one other to go natural and a male colleague made a snarky comment and I crumbled with embarrassment.
I love my solid grey stripe and I am ready. I dumped the friendship with the colleague!
Nikol, I grew up having black hair. I started going gray in my 30’s when gray was not cool. I did it because I loved the newness of the color and got many compliments. I’m 75 years young and still wearing my gray and loving it!! Thanks for the tutorials!
I'm 74 1/2 and tried 8x .just not ready.maybe on my death bed LOL
I was trying to go grey & you are right about going grey. I felt terrible about my self. I was feeling Very self- conscious & insecure when I was growing it out. Emotionally i was a mess. Then Covid hit & I did go into a deep depression. I love all the tones & contrast in your hair. My next trip to the salon is when my hairdresser & I will come up with a game plan. I’m 70 & they have been telling me that I don’t have enough grey & silver in my hair & it’s basically in the front around my face. I really want to embrace my grey I have started doing hot oil treatments & have stopped using heat products for the past 5 years. I let it going natural & use a bit of moose to keep the curls in. My natural colour is a dark auburn. Last fall she did my hair brown & I was going to let the silver/?gray come in. Needless to say, I hated the brown, I was ruddy looking, had no sparkle & felt ancient. I think a fast track may work for me best because I’m not very patient. I’m having trouble finding the words to explain how I wax feeling @ the time. I tried to find a wig store but could not. I wanted to see how I would feel about myself & try a wig. Thanks for your help Nikol. Your an inspiration to me. Much love❣️
I dyed my hair for so so long, I'm now 42 and I'm almost 75% gray. I decided 11 months ago that I wanted dreadlocks, while on this amazing journey of finding myself I decided to stop dying my gray. I would love to speed it up, but I won't. I can't wait to see it all grown out, it's a journey right along with my locs!
Hi . I am 41 and I decided going gray 2 moths ago. I am from Poland and gray hair are not popular here ( maybe when you are old or ill). Now I feel ugly with my hair…
I will do it !
Brunette to salt and pepper, dye free 6+ years, cold turkey! Best decision ever, never looked back. Your content is so encouraging for our silver sisters 💚
What an encouraging video, Nikol! My bio hair is a very dark brown, about 10% silver. Unfortunately, it's been thinning massively over the last few years. So I decided to be bold, fierce and unapologetic in wearing wigs! I choose to wear silvers, cool greys, whites, and fashion greys. Rather than trying to match my bio hair, the lighter hair definitely brightens my face.
the purple shampoos turn my hair purple/pewter! They seem to sap all the bright white out of my silver :(
I hated my grow-out phase but LOVE the end result! Jack Martin is a genius, although I stopped following him on social media because he can be quite obnoxious with his comments.
I've décide to go "cold turkey" thank you.
I did it!! 👊
I'm finally on the other side. I always wore a pixie so that was very helpful but it was still hard. Now I have a bob and I really appreciate the various colors-grey, silver, white, and a little brown. It does take a lot more maintenance that wearing a pixie!
You are such a trailblazer!!
Thank you for the review! Can’t wait to be free from dye! Love the empowerment that you encourage! 💋💋💋
Thank you! Thank you! I needed this encouragement!! ❤ I'm going cold Turkey... I'm thankful I have short hair!😀
i watched one of your videos about using purple shampoos without sulfates...purchased one...used for first time and can not believe how moisturized my hair felt after use. Am grey hair on top of head mostly brown underneath...so two different tectures of hair on my 73 year old head...thank you for all your advice...recently found your channel and am very much enjoying all content.
I’m so happy that women are claiming themselves …going gray, accepting their bodies, their faces, owning their God-given beauty. I’m not against “tweaking” or anything else a woman feels she personally needs as long as she’s not being a slave to mass marketing, artificial Hollywood or Vogue stereotypes. Let the “sisters” reclaim their Amazonian power…mentally, physically and most of all spiritually. And most of all let’s embrace, support and encourage one another.
Most stylist don’t know, or want to do white streaks
I prefer "Silver" hair!
My hair has been self highlighting in the front for the past few years. The back is darker like yours but more of an ashy brown. I tried having champagne streaks added by I didn’t like what they did to my baby fine hair. So now the champagne has nearly grown out and I love it. I do use a purple shampoo and conditioner by Aveda once a month. I’d love to try a gloss. Which one did you use?
I saw your first TH-cam video in 2019 and because of you I too went cold turkey leaving my Natura highlights 😉 Loved your hair and they way you speak, you're beautiful inside and out. You were my inspiration for me to ditch the hair coloring. THANK YOU! You're awesome 🤗🎉
I transitioned in 2016. Absolutely never questioned it. Only get compliments, because I wear it with confidence.
Mine was easy because I always highlighted, and have light brown hair.
I have the white strips in front, and it’s funny because I always had highlights framing my face.
Great info. 😊
My hair is also light brown with highlights and have been thinking but scared of going grey. Did you stop cold?
Awesome video. You’re a great motivator. Thx for sharing. I’ve been dying my hair blonde since I was 15! I’ll be 70 in August! Enough! I have grey white bangs which happened over the pandemic. Each month I dye less now I have about 1 inch in the front. I’m getting a haircut soon and I’ve colored it for the last time. Most hair dyes can cause cancer too so … good luck to all
I have been wearing wigs for 18 years now (with my hair clipped right down) and there’s so many times I would love to just have my natural hair tied up in a bun on a hot day, so I’ve decided to just grow my hair out natural gray. Last winter I attempted this and when it got to be 2” long I started to colour it my natural dark brown. By the time it was 5 inches long it looks so unhealthy and I hated constantly dying my roots. I shaved it all off last month and I am starting from scratch with no dying anymore. I am taking very good care of my hair health and embracing the gray. I still have my wigs which I enjoy to wear when I feel like it.
I’ve transitioned with my hairstylist’s help. Now we are only doing toning. The water where I’m at is very hard and really makes hair brassy. I use a purple shampoo but still need her help. Toning is helpful if done right.
I am fully transitioned and have been going to physical therapy. I have been now told to incorporate swimming into my therapy. Do you have recommendations for dealing with the chlorine, other than a bathing cap which I will of course be using?
Nikol well said!! You are such an inspiration!! Thank you for all you do and the wonderful advice! My transition will reach 1 year on December 3rd. I must admit, the first 5 months were challenging but I’m determined to reach full transition . It is so freeing ! I love my white hair and I’m in my 60’s.! 38 years of colouring . I look back at pictures and I really don’t like my hair when it was coloured. My skin looks so much better now. My husband likes it too which is a bonus!👏👏
Love your channel!🇨🇦😩❤️
Thanks for the inspiration. Doing it! Fierce, bold, and unapologetic.
Been white now for many many years. I cut it as short as I could stand then let it come in naturally. I had ash brown so no drastic color changes. The only person who fussed was my youngest son ( now 40) as I think it made him face his own aging!
👏👏👏👏
Nikol, I enjoy all your videos! I plan to forward this one to my daughter who’s hair is coming in white. I have told her how much the color brightens her face! I also have a niece who started going gray during the pandemic and she recently had a gloss treatment and it looks fabulous!
I am so glad you are doing this for us!
Hey Nikol, Bravo to you! Perhaps, you are the one who has led the way for so many women and hairstylists to help women transition to natural gray hair. You are beautiful and have a giving heart in wanting to help women in feeling good about themselves. You are a real blessing! 💕
Hi there, so i did the big chop this week with the aim of going grey now. However, I am a swim coach and chlorine is my worst enemy. Any tips? Other than a cap. ??
My hair is very long, and I don't want to cut it, that's my problem, going grey will work for me, but not ready to do a bob. Jack Martin is awesome but I live in Europe, and I really don't know who would be able to do a great job like he does, furthermore he's very, very expensive.
I've been dyeing my hair for ages and when I have roots showing they're all white, all over my head for as far as I can see. Maybe I'll be silver white in one go if I let it grow for a bit and then do a pixy cut? 🤔
I’m going to start it . No more bleaching highlights for me. Love your video .
What to do when your look like squirrel ?Gray and cupper? And when somebody tell you you ķnow hair can be color and look at you disgut it happen to me at the age of 31 because i have Grey young like 60 % of white hair but I tell myself I don't like blond hair and Grey look better than blonde I was I accept that I look older with grey but when somebody is disgust by your apparence it s hard. So I color my hair and now I think to stop coloration at the age of 43 . But it s hard to change my style I like cloth brown beige and kaki cloth and I dont like to wear makeup. I dont know and bleu shampoo the cold tone don't suit me sometime I think maybe they should do a shampoo not bleu but kaki cendre just for tone . Thank you for share your experience its take courage to assume Grey hair. The gray hair look very good on you and bleu tone of your hair its great for your carnation and what a wonderfull volume wow. Jealous!
I stopped fighting the gray about three years ago. I'm fully gray now. I had been rocking a chin length bob but I changed it up to a jaw length hybrid shag/wolf cut this past weekend. The layers in this cut amplify the different tones of silver/gray/blackish brown. I've had at leave five total strangers stop me and ask about my hair since Saturday.
Check out the Guy Tang video. He takes his mom from brown to gray beautifully.
Just in 6 weeks! Very excited... love your hair!
You got this!
But what if you are a long hair person? I don’t like myself in short hair. My hair is curly and frizz prone. I wear it wavy and somewhat “controlled”. It’s near the small of my waist. The length helps to weigh it down, otherwise it gets poofy and puffy! I can also do a loose braid with undone strands. Could I transition from warm brown dye to black grey without cutting it short? Confession: I hate short hair on me!! I’m very happy with long, even slightly damaged. I always trim my hair about 3”, every 6 to 9 months and never use heat. Any ladies that kept their hair long during transitioning?
Yes I have a video on long gray hair th-cam.com/video/Bj8NWqdl6BU/w-d-xo.html
@@NikolJohnson thank you Nikol!! That is the best video! I just watched it and felt validated on being myself.💕🙏🏽
Me!! I'm 15 months in. I only trim my hair. 😀
Wow!! You’ve given me the inspiration I needed!! Ty
Just starting, 5 months into it and your videos make me not give up
Oh Nikol, this video made me realize why I stopped coloring my hair. I went cold turkey and have no regrets. I only told a couple and it will be interesting when i go to a family Thanksgiving gathering. I am ready for the comments as I know they will think it odd that I have am salt and pepper proud and my mom still colors her hair.She still has mixed emotions about me going grey, but as she sees how confident I am, the more is comfortable with my choice.
You have to be comfortable with your choices not your family. It's your hair. My family doesn't like my choice and I haven't been happier. Men and women both love it! There are people who look at you as if they never saw someone with grey hair. Mine is grey..white and dark. I have natural stripes and highlights. I'm 15 months in.
I used 10 months of working from home due to the Pandemic to let my colour grow out. The salons were closed for a lot of those 10 months. In total my hair wasn't cut or colour for 12 months. When we were recalled to the office, I booked a hair appointment with my hairdresser and he cut my hair into a bob and put a neutraliser on to remove the brassiness in my coloured ends. I am actually enjoying the colour that remains on the ends and the shorter length. I am not liking the purple shampoo and conditioner. I am still to find one that brightens the white and neutralises the brassiness but doesn't leave a violet glow in my hair. I really dislike the violet tint.
I had the same issue at the beginning. What I did was apply the violet shampoo to the tips for 10 minutes prior to washing my hair. Rinse out. Then I would either use regular shampoo to wash or violet shampoo if the hair needed brightening. That’s what worked for me!❤️
I looked at the thumbnail and thought"come on..nobody has hair like that!" Lol!
Sadly no Jack Martin or equivalent, in London, but perhaps it's a blessing in disguise, I'm currently on month 4 of going cold turkey, I've seen many women around London ditching the dye and letting their hair do it's thing. I actually think it looks cool, and have had many compliments. It's key to look after yourself and look presentable, at any age, a good hair cut is essential.
Love this message! I quit dyeing five years ago, and I’m soooo thankful! ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing your story and the wonderful motivation! I have decided to go grey and owning it.
Go for it!
My eyebrows are brown. What is the best brow color for gray hair?
You’re so much prettier than Anne Bancroft!
Thank you, again and again and again!
I have not colored my hair since Dec. 9, 2020. I was SO SICK and TIRED of coloring. When I colored on 12/9 - I did it because I was going to my BFF's daughter's wedding. I made a firm decision right then and there that I was not going to color again.....cold turkey. And you know what, I said 'if I don't like it, I'll just color again.' It was just too much work and stress. I am 52 years old and it is what it is. I have been coloring for 27 years, from the first time I saw the first grey hair. Ironically, the color I was worried about is my favorite. I was so worried I was going to have that dull grey hair - but guess what - I'm pretty much platinum now. Of course, I still have darker ends, but everything flows. I found a purple mousse I LOVE. It keeps the brassiness down.
Wow! Thank you so much for the pep talk! I started with the strip technique, but it didn't take log for big white patches to show through. I chickened out & colored over the patches....only what showed. Now, I'm starting over. I'm joining your facebook group! I'm surprised how many people try to talk me out of it, but the more they do, the more I want to try. I'll be watching this video again & again for encouragement! Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us! 😃💞💞💞
Thank You Sooo Much for Encouraging women to go Artic White (that's why I call my color now!) It's about time to Embrace our Color! Much better than trying to Cover the stubborn white! Own it! Love it! Let it bring the Cool 😎and Confidence! 💞
I wished I had done this before. I also now have genetic alopecia and started having balding patches. After coloring for years and still doing all the moisturizing ect, I was just so done. I bought a beautiful grey wig. Friday, I buzzed it! Love love love it! Now i can have any hair I want. So free!!!!
I went through the grey hair transition and it just wasn't me. The minute I dyed it back I felt alive again.
I feel you!… I’m in my sixties and my hair is part of my allure. Not ready to transition quite yet. It would depress me if I had to cut it short. I’m a happy long hair person. I admire the silver ladies, but around me, they are mostly fair previously light haired ladies. I’m medium olive skin, born with black hair. I’ve been coloring my hair a warm brown copper/dark caramel. Maybe when I won’t mind to look attractive, I’ll transition? I know I could look ok, but would also take 4 years or more, since I have wavy curly hair to grow.
@@celidagolobic2156 Ditto!
what’s your FAVORITE purple products that don’t dry out or strip your hair? I’ve tried 4 different kinds and they are soooooo drying! 😩
I am 89 weeks in cold turkey. I also love and admire Jack Martin's work but it is hair color that he's applying and it requires maintenance. There are very few colorists who can do what he does-I do believe he gives you a list of the products he used on your hair.The first few months were tough and I wore hats, headbands, etc. I had lots of regrowth, particularly in my crown, and I get lots of compliments. Nikol, you were one of the women who really inspired and encouraged me. I love your channel. Thank you!
There's always those semi/demi permanent hair colors you can use during that transition phase so there isn't that stark line. That's what I used when I was switching back from using henna to regular hair dyes(you aren't supposed to use regular dye over henna can result in green hair). I think that's the route I"m going to go for now to switch over to whatever grey/silver color comes in for me. Only down side to those semi permanent colors, they don't lighten your hair if it's dark.
Hi Nikol. I’m just discovering you now. I gotta laugh because I feel the same way you do. I don’t care what others say or do. I’m 57 years old and I look great. Yes I have signs of aging and my skin isn’t perfect but I’m healthy. I decided to go gray this year. It’s been on my mind now for over a year and then all these TH-cam channels came up with going grey. Your channel is one of my favorites. I actually love the gray coming through. I have blonde coloring and it really looks amazing. I just wanted to say thank you for your support and encouragement. Finally someone who is an advocate for us mature ladies. 😘❤️
My hair is classic length and I went cold.... It is virgin and very strong.🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I am on that journey my hair is very fine but thankfully I do have a lot of hair. I decided to get some fun hair extensions full head and single stands in silver and grey and a salt and pepper elastic curly chignon hair bun scrunchy for some fun and oh so easy updos. I went to the salon and got 15 inches cut of my hair it about the length of your hair now, I got a vintage bob slightly layered at the bottom. I have silver/white and grey roots just under 2" . I have used the salt and pepper hair bun for a quick and easy updo for 3 days in a row now and I love it. Pulling back my bangs into the high updo really shows of my silver/white and grey roots in the best possible ways. Thank you for sharing your journey I like your videos and your personality!
Omg !! I Love You.
I just love You ..
