- Grey hair transition, 23 Months no dye. So I got a comment. A question.
-" Why do you want to look old and worn out?"
That made me think.
Thank you for watching 💖

The person who made that nasty comment is a complete idiot and you should ignore them completely. You do not look old or worn out - you look absolutely beautiful with your new silver locks and you have inspired me to give it a go too ❤
Thank you for your kind words 💖
My growout is finished and I would never consider coloring it again! I enjoy the freedom and the natural highlights in my hair now, but most of all, I embrace my age and the woman I've become. The first time I tried to "let it grow" I re-coloured after 4 months. I look back on that now as a mistake. I was more concerned about "looks". Nothing compares to going back to 'natural' ! Don't base your decision on negative comments. I can't imagine.....23 months and re-coloring?! Of course whatever you decide will be ok for you. 😊Think wisely, not reactively.💛🙏
Thank you for your advice 💖 It would feel like a big failure If I dyed it again... I will have to think about this for a while.
Do not dye it you will regret it. Go get a new style or something. This will make you feel better about yourself . Rocking grey hair gives you confidence and your hair will be healthier. I have only stopped for two months dying my hair. And my sclap is only just starting to feel better. We are all getting old. No problem if people want to look younger. Why not just look like you. Be yourself. I don't care what anyone has to say . The bible says your grey hair is a crown. So I'm going to try and embrace mine. Good luck. I know so many want to stop dying there hair every two to three weeks. Well I've had enough of running to the shops for another box dye
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I will definitely think about this before I decide what to do.
I love the Bible says “ your grey hair is a crown 👸🏼” thank you for quoting this🌟
Just brought a whole new level of “Joy” growing my grey out! 🙌🌟😊🌟
I'm soooo done dyeing my hair...going to get a good cut and keep moving forward. 9 weeks so far
You are so lovely with your natural colour. Don’t let someone tell you otherwise 😊
Thank you 💖
Thank you for you are giving me the courage to do it. I am 73 and tired of dying my hair. You look beautiful.
Thank you 💖
I totally get how you feel. I went 2 yrs and a few months letting it go gray. Then I paid to finish it off to gray and then cut to style. Was not happy at all. Every time I looked in the mirror I didn't like what I saw. Not bc of the cut. The lady that helped me into grayish so to speak and cut my hair did a beautiful job. My hair was cut to just below the shoulder. But I still didn't like what I saw looking back at me. So coming up in the 3rd year I decided to color it. I'm 68 and I'm much happier at what I see looking back at me. And I'm the only one I'm trying to please. I'm not denying getting old if I color my hair. I was 65 when I started to embrace my gray hair phase. Many different opinions, many different reasons, many suggestions. I can only say...what makes you and you alone feel good about yourself...that's what you do and why you do it. God Bless.
Thank you for your kind words and advice 💖
Finally someone who feels as I do! My hair has been white for 3 yrs now I've tried to like how I look. I've had to change so much about my appearance bc my hair didn't go w colors I wore I look so much older. Didnt matter what style ir cut I had.Ppl.kept telling me not to dye my hair and be back dyeing every dew wks butnbIve had enough. I've decided to dye it. Good luck to u❤

Thank you. I only redo my roots every month and a half or 2 months. In between I use the root spray. It works great in between coloring and lasts a couple of washes. Here's another little beauty. As you do your roots...you're creating lighter streaks through your hair. I love that. Look for the blessing 😉. Best Wishes.
@@saffysaffy3239 If only lifting the face was as easy as dying the hair! Imagine that-just buy a box for $10 every month to keep the face lifted too! However I have found a way to do this with magnesium oil massage but sadly its too complicated to explain how to do-otherwise Id be shouting it from the rooftops cause I know how distressing aging is to many women and I just want to help. However they have created an anti aging pill but its not on the market yet. Look up David Sinclair. Or for something even more way out there, look up the Ellen Langer anti aging experiment.
I love your natural colour and I think it makes you look younger. I hope you don't dye it but you have to do what's best for you. Good luck whatever you decide.
Thank you 💖
I'm sorry that someone felt the need to hurt you like that! Anyone who would say something so unkind isn't worth your consideration! I am in the middle of growing out my hair too and have had comments that made me wonder if I am doing the right thing. I truly believe that going back to our natural selves is very liberating. Free to be me! And your beautiful gray streaks are so striking! And look beautiful with your complexion too! Make your decision based on what YOU want and not what some mean spirited hater says 💕💕💕
Thank you for your kind words 💖
@@Kati-almiel I just saw your latest video! I'm so glad you stuck with it. It is beautiful now and perfectly suits your complexion! Bravo to you!! 🥰❣️❣️
Well said !
Hair with color is youthful. I was trying to grow out the grey but the drab became overwhelming. I am thrilled with my recent color job!
I find that the opposite is true. Dyed hair, especially dark, can look too harsh, fake and can actually make someone look older. Grey hair doesn't make a face old and dyed hair doesn't make a face young.
Your grey is so pretty with your skin tone.. I think it brightens up your features! And, you are definitely not old and worn out!
I was looking forward to your long long grey hair ❤ that would be so pretty ✨✨✨sending love with whatever you decide to do 🥰 4:10
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I am not sure yet if I will dye it or not.
Hi, don't quit! You look good with your natural hair color! It has been interesting to watch your videos because I am in the same "road" - now 1y and 8m without dying my hair. And it has also been nice to see that there is some one else here in Finland who is doing this!
Hi 🙂 Thank you 💖 That is nice to hear. I will think about this for a while. When I started this yourney to go grey I searched on TH-cam for Finnish videos about going grey, but I didn't find any. I have made a few in Finnish on my Finnish channel (Ruotsinsuomalaisittain) . But there isn't so much about this in Finnish, or Swedish (I am Finnish but I live in Sweden) 🙂
I have been hair dye free for 3 years and I would advice you to check out hair masks and leave in conditioner, the gray's are unruly and my hair was so dry ... I love not coloring my hair... You are very attractive, inside out. Whatever you choose will be right for you ..
Thank you 💖 I will definitely try hair masks and leave in conditioner. Thank you for the tip.
What brand of hair masks?? I need one!
I think your natural color is beautiful and lights up your face. Most important thing is that you do what makes you happy and feel good.
Thank you 💖
I think you look great! Your hair is full and thick. You've put in some TIME on your goal. Personally, I would not stop now. Your hair will grow out and you'll see how beautiful you are!
Regardless of the color.
I think older people have some wisdom and I thank you for posting your story.
I'm 70 and my hair has become so thin that maybe I should cut...
but I loved my long hair. Alas!
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I will think about this for a while before I decide what to do.
@@Kati-almiel~ It's not grey, it's Silver! 🥰
You are very pretty! Your hair is quite healthy, nice curl and the color is pretty even considering its grown out. I just went through this myself after not coloring it for a year. I broke down & toned it the other day, and I hated it. Now 2 re-colors after its okay, but damaged. Being a blonde I should've left it or only done a few foils on top. Pay no attention to negative people, they aren't worth your precious energy. Look at how beautiful you are - it comes from within & radiates outward. If you have or have not dyed it, it should be for yourself and not others. Be happy, ignore comments from those who are negative, and do what you feel works for you.
Thank you for your kind words 💖
I’m sorry someone was unkind . I’ve been growing out my gray the past 3 months and I have good and bad days .I think your hair looks great and you have come so far now . Can you wait until you get to the 2 year mark before you decide to color again? Since my hair is short, I’m planning to cut all the gray off after a year, by next September . Looking forward to your next update .
Thank you 💖 I will try to wait for a while before I decide what to do.
Hang in there with the transition....I like it and when I imagine you fully grey...I bet you'll be gorgeous 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words 💖
Some people just have a mind set that gray hair is old ,that if you're letting your hair gray that you are letting yourself go.I think you look great and when completely grown out will look awesome. How you feel about your hair is the most important, just don't make any rash decisions based off of anyone's mean comments . also consider using temporary color or just adding streaks .stay strong and beautiful.😘
Thank you for your kind words 💖
You have really lovely hair. The texture and density are fabulous. I would offer you this advise…you do you. If YOU don’t enjoy your gray hair, change it! But…change it because YOU want to change it, not because some troll commented.
Thank you 💖 I have decided to keep going gray.
You have such nice hair. Sometimes when I’m sick of the grow out I get a trim. Hardly anything gets cut off, but I always feel better 🤷🏼♀️ You look great either way
Thank you 💖
Follow through with letting it grow out. Get a good haircut and see how you like it. You have a beautiful face and nice hair. You can always go back to coloring but you’ve spent so long letting it grow out. Finish what you started, you’re beautiful either way, be happy.
Your hair colour is lovely, but only you know what’s best for you. I would advise waiting at least 2 weeks before making any big decisions, it would be a shame to dye it after nearly two years just due to a “down” moment or some random troll comment. Whatever you decide, you will be supported ✌🏼
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I will wait a while before I decide what to do.
I do not think you look old and worn out at all! I guess we all have expectations of how our grey or silver or white will look. I’m at 8 months no dye, I still have a ways to go but I think I’ll keep going but I’m a lot older than you. I wish you peace with whatever you decide.
Thank you 💖
There’s also other options to consider when going to a professional hairdresser. They could add more icy blonde balayage highlights for example potentially helping everything blend better. But, either way your natural hair right now looks awesome! I wouldn’t go back to dying it if I were you.
Thank you 💖
You look great! Do you really want to go back on the hamster wheel of dyeing every few weeks? But it is ultimately your decision... you might not be ready and that is ok!! You do you. Sending positive thoughts!
Thank you 💖
I am 8 months in to my grow out, and every time i want to dye my hair again, I just think about how I will have to keep dying it every month, and then i will be back into that cycle, and that snaps me out of it. You look great, keep going and don't listen to mean people, who cares what they think. 💖
Thank you 💖
❤Hello Mrs. Kathi 👋🏿! I just happened to come across your video in my recommendation feed. I’m sorry 😞 that someone left a rude comment on your video .
You do not look old.
You do not look worn out.
Your hair color and texture are beautiful.
I have long gray natural hair which I have been growing out for 5+ years. For me it’s all about styling and finding joy in it.
Experiment with clothes, makeup, or whatever you choose. Find your bliss. Try to ignor the haters. ❤
Thank you for your kind words 💖
I'm 6 months, not dyeing my hair...have good days and bad days...... but what I like about natural grey hair are the different colours and shade patterns....everyone has their own special 'silver sparkle'...... Try to not give up, if you can...be strong..... We live in a society where women have to be eternally young... which is very silly.... I'm so pleased that ladies of All ages are embracing their natural hair colours ... Most men don't dye their hair .... I see men in there 30,s with grey hair.....
So Girl, Rock those Silver Locks....
Thank you 💖
I think your hair looks great and you've come so far. Your natural color is beautiful. Some people like to be very negative online for some reason.
Thank you 💖
I’m almost three years dye free my hair has never been so healthy in many years.Whilst colouring my hair was falling out and didn’t look good only two weeks after dying it.I have now a healthy head of hair not to mansion all the chemicals I’m saving my self from .You look great to me don’t stop now wait to see the final result.👍❤️🌹
I'm watching this three months too late.... just wanted to give you some encouragement on your grow out. I think it is normal to go through all of these stages as you grow out your natural colour. It could be a good thing to pause and consider what it means for you to feel 'old and worn out', and to see if you can find the beauty in yourself as an older woman. For what it is worth, I see your beauty. Your hair is so gorgeous - the length, the style is relaxed and casual, you look like a woman I'd love to sit down with and have some coffee. The colour also suits your skin tone. I'm also on this quest for my natural colour, and I definitely relate to what you are expressing here.
Thank you for your kind words 💖
Grey hair is not for everyone , it is beautiful if it’s almost all white but otherwise the white mixed with a lot of natural color can look just washed out. I went ten months trying to grow out and it made me look washed out so I jumped back into colouring and love it , something to consider is semi permanent color it will cover enough without the damage .
Hi!! Don’t let one person who obviously doesn’t know anything about beauty make you question your decision to let your beautiful grey shine!! Just keep your goal of beautiful long grey hair in mind! You have to accept that this stage is just a stage! It’s what you need to go through to have long grey hair. You know it and I know it! I have the same goal 😊. It’s not easy! If you dye your hair back make sure it’s because that’s what YOU want to do. Not what society says you should do! It’s fun to be badass and change society’s mind 😉
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I will think about this for a while before I decide what to do.
Honestly, I think the gray part looks super pretty against your skin tone and brightens your face. It makes your skin glow! If you are up for a cut, I would go that route first before throwing in the towel. A chin length modern bob would be super cute on your face shape and also alleviate the heaviness at the bottom. Really, as long as you keep the cut a more modern style, it really does showcase the beauty of your gray. I wouldn’t judge if you dyed it either. I’m completely gray after starting my journey in 2019. I cut the last of the dye off in 2021. I completely understand how painful this process is and if you aren’t ready, you aren’t ready.
You could also do the cut and then dye the parts that are colored a fun color to alleviate the boredom and feel more fun and make it less obvious. Blues, pinks and purples look so cute with gray and silver!
Just a note. Try some biotin to help your hair grow faster and get you past this hump. Also keep in mind that gray hair is in style! People would pay mad money to get your gray.
Thank you for your tips 💖 I might try a fun color on the dyed part at some point 😊
I think it looks lovely and suits your skintone 😀
Thank you 💖
You are beautiful and you do not look old and worn out! 💖
Thank you for your kind words 🙏💖
I think your silver is beautiful but I understand having second thoughts about growing it out I go back and forth also. Its been a year since i decided to quit coloring my dingy blonde hair but i had a very short pixie. I told my stylist i wanted to put some highlights on the top because it's darker and underneath it's a pretty silver but i keep changing my mind on what to do. At least I have a few weeks before my next appointment to make up my mind.
Thank you 💖 Yes it’s not easy to go gray and stay gray. I wish you all the best.
The lighter color of the silver is complimentary to your skin tones, wait it out, I think you will love it when the colored hair is all gone😊
Thank you ❤️
I am almost eighty. My roots are a nice salt and pepper. I got the idea that I would dye my hair grey let it grow out. Found out that grey dye fades quickly and leaves a mass of brassy straw colored ends. So what to do? Now I am back to dyeing my hair grey or trying every purple mask out there. Found a woman on youtube that suggested adding a small aound of black dye and activator to shampoo and letting it sit for 10 to 15 minuets. It did tone the bras. I liked the darker tones.
This has been an 18 month experiment. I just dyed my hair back to medium ash brown. Looks fine and I'm done with being consumed with about my hair. There is no one size fits all. If I was to do it again, I would get it cut short and let it grow out naturally. But for the time being, I'm burned out from thinking about my hair.
Oh that sounds like a lot of trouble with your hair. You are right, there is no one size fits all. Everybody must do what feels right for them. I wish you all the best 💖
As we naturally lose hair pigments either we can accept it and embrace our new natural color or try to fight an endless battle of covering it with dyes that never look quite natural - and the older you get and the more white hair you have the more difficult it gets and the more unnatural the dyes look... Which way do you want to go? I think if everyone keeps following the majority and noone dares to make a different choice the collective mindset will never change.
Very wise words. Thank you ❤️
I think you have to be strong. You look beautiful!! This is my third month and I feeling the way but I keep telling myself not to put anymore goop on my hair. Be brave and continue....
Thank you for your kind words 💖
I'm dealing with that same thing right now. My bangs and framed around my face are a lovely grey, looks blonde. the rest is sort of salt and pepper. I just did a bleach bath on my ends to lighten the brown, now it's a strawberry blonde. I'm a mess :) Kind of worried though because my skin tone is pale with red undertones from auto immune disease, and very light hair doesn't look good on me IMO. But if you want to try color, stick with ones that gradually wash out, demi permanents. that way if you change your mind, you don't have to start over. Or look into one of those color conditioners, they come in all kinds of colors, blondes, browns, etc. Edit to add, and as for that person and their rude comment, should've told them eventually they're going to look old and worn out too. Sounds like a vain person, and karma has a way of dealing with those folks.
they havent seen women rock grey hair.....what do they know?? its the best thing I ever did for my hair! just excited to see it grow out long like yours.
💖
I think it looks hip cool. I’m just getting started 3 months for me at the age 60, summer 2023 curious about my natural hair color having fun with it right now.
Thank you 💖 I am happy for you. It is fun seeing what kind of color one has, when it grows. All the best to you 💖
Lovely natural silver
I put some highlights in mine to brighten it up and am very happy it helps to transition easier
That is a good tip. Thank you for sharing 💖
I am in the UK and have been thinking of ditching the dye for a long time. I am now into the 4th month without colouring my hair and I keep wondering if I am starting to look old - I keep having a change of mind and then remember why I wanted to stop colouring my grey hair in the first place. That keeps me going. You are definitely NOT old and tired looking. To think you have come this far growing out the colour, it would be a shame to start colouring again just because someone made a negative comment. Obviously you need to do what you need to do for yourself but I hope you will decide to continue on your journey of letting your grey hair grow. Your hair is beautiful and so are you - don't believe anyone who tells you that you are "old and tired".
Thank you for your kind words 💖
I use natural Henna. It looks fabulous and doesn’t ruin my hair.
Every now and then I see someone with grey hair and absolutely love it , but mostly I don't. There's a woman at work whose long silver hair is gorgeous and glamorous. But quite often I think people look very washed out. My own grey is so light in patches at the front that from a distance it looks like a bald spot! So I will continue on with colouring for the moment for sure.
Your silvers are so pretty
Get yourself a good hairstyle
Plzz don't go back to dyeing
I'm 38 yrs old and I'm tired of coloring my hair, I'm here to get some inspiration from lovely ladies like y'all to ditch the colour and go natural
U look lovely with ur silvers
Thank you 💖
I am sorry that you received such a mean girl comment. I think you look lovely with either color hair, but I'm in the same situation as you are and I'm totally rethinking my choice to go silver. Do I feel old and worn out? Yes, I do. Do I want to advertise that this is both how I feel AND how I look? I just don't know. Rethinking it! So I'm with you and still undecided but the fact that we are even questioning it rather than loving our silver says a lot. Best wishes to you in your decision making process.
Thank you for your kind words 💖 Best regards and luck to you too 🌸
It looks great! Have you heard of color analysis? Based on seasonal color? I would get that done. Your natural hair is the right color always. The colors we wear can have a strong effect on how we look. Nature doesn’t make mistakes when it comes to natural coloring. Getting a color analysis changed my life!
Thank you 💖 I have heard of color analysis but I haven't done it. Would be interesting to do it one day.
This is my third time trying to go gray. I do think the struggle is real regarding how it feels to not look the same as you were used to regarding color. I have thought perhaps some highlights and/or lowlights might be something I try if I continue to not be happy with my gray/white hair grow out. Thanks for being honest.
Yes, it's not easy to let the hair go gray. Thank you 💖
Never go back! Get a good cut, you will feel amazing 😀
What I would recommend is to stop and think about why you made the decision to go natural in the first place. Were you tired of having to dye your hair so often? It does take time and money do so. Sometimes when time goes by we forget the negative of things. The negatives of dying your hair won't change and once you dye it you're back to square one. I like the idea of maybe getting a trim of your pretty hair first then see how you feel. It does take time to grow out the grey that's true. I think for someone young like you it's a bold move. But as others have said it's a choice you're free to make. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for your kind words and advice 💖 I am thinking about maybe getting a haircut soon. All the best to you too.
@@Kati-almiel I'm so curious what you've decided to do.
A few Low lights in the front every six months can add dimension!
Thank you for the tip 💖 That could be a good idea.
Do whatever makes you happy! !
Thank you 💖
I hid from people when I in 22 months Hated it Dyed it back I feel. So much better
Put a beautiful golden toner on it like a 9g from Redken until it grows out so you don't feel so frumpy a very hard thing to let your hair grow out changes your face color and then you have to wear more makeup you have to wear
Thank you for your kind advice 💖 I have acctually dyed it brown again, just a couple of days ago. I felt so old with the grey. All the best to you.
@Kati-almiel you should have gotten a beautiful toner in a golden brown. I know I am 67. No way 😳 an I going Grey. Lol. Not into the craze of all-natural
Beautiful. Nice to see you are being real about it. What about to try different hair cut something shorter to shoulder length to see the change. I shaved my head 19 months ago and its interesting to see different lengths and how it really looks like through out the stages of growth. And yes your natural colour brings light out in you. Thank you for sharing ♥ You have beautiful face and trying new shoulder length hair cut with straightening your hair would look great and refreshed change with parting on the side. Give it a try it will grow fast and you will see how it really is one grey colour then 2 tones and explore with different colours clothing as well. Have fun with it. Inspired light ♥
Thank you for your kind words 💖 Maybe I should get a haircut... Thank you for the tip 💖
You look great and you don’t look old or a worn out the color of your hair wouldn’t change the way you look in the face anyway that’s with make up and happiness from within shining out
Thank you for your kind words 💖
If you are still having trouble transitioning, maybe try a color depositing conditioner, like overtone…. I have the same questions, but my hair is brown on the ends. I am going to give it a try. BTW I see people who have made it and they are happy they did, no more fussing over color. Don’t listen to them. Your hair will be much healthier after the transition.
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I have continued with the transition, and after a haircut a few weeks ago I don't have a sharp line anymore. So now it's alot easier 😊 All the best to you.
I went through the same feeling. You aren't old. You will regret dying again. Your authenticity is way more powerful than some cowards comments. ❤
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I did dye it again a couple of weeks ago.
Stay strong don't listen to those that are incapable of understanding life and maturity. One day they will be the ones that will make a decision on whether or not to color their hair. I promise they will remember the comments they made to others
Thank you 💖
You're very sweet and I think in the long run you will be happy with it. There are some amazing conditioners called overtone that are shades of silver that wash out in about 3 months. I like the med dark one, vibrant silver, although I haven't tried it yet. I’m a blonde still and doing the dye strip method for a while. The gray also needs a lot of maintenance to look soft and nice I've noticed, but lots of advice and support on TH-cam on that. But, it’s a lot less work than keeping up the coloring.
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I actually did dye it again, a couple of weeks ago. But one day I am sure I will go grey again.
This is the point in the journey when everyone says this. Push through to the other side. You won't regret it!
Thank you for your kind words 💖
I gave in and bleached mine,just felt old.
some people are just sent to try us in life, I think those very same people would say if you dyed it, wow why did you do that it looked good on you so yeah best to ignore that comment and others like it, in saying that, I have been thinking of doing my hair as its pretty white now and I think the texture does not feel as good when its natural the dye seems to smooth the hair shaft, however I keep going back to why I grew it out to start with and it was the upkeep of the roots was to much work anyway you look great not tired or worn out
Thank you 💖 I have also noticed that my natural undyed hair has a different texture, which I don't like so much.
We only associate gray hair with being "old" because we've been told that for so long by society at large. If we didn't dye our hair at the first sign of gray, we wouldn't have this negative association with gray hair equating to "old"...it would just be another hair color.
I think your hair looks great, but you should certainly do what makes you feel best about it. I'm coming up on two years gray now as well, but I love mine, and you couldn't pay me to dye it again. It's just as much a part of my identity now as my brunette hair was when I was younger.
I think you're smart taking time to think about the decision and not just jumping straight back to dye. That way, if you do dye it, you'll know that's what you really want. You can also do semi-permanent dyes instead of permanent (think Overtone, etc). That could be a fun way to try some different colors (lavender, blue or green, maybe?), and just let it wash out in a few weeks.
Good luck! I'm sure whatever decision you make, it'll be the right one for you.
Thank you for your kind words 💖
I love how your hair is coming! You can do whatever you want, but know many think you are wonderful how you are.
Thank you 💖
I think a haircut will freshen up the hair, I know the grow out can be long and frustrating, it took several yrs to do mine and I ended up cutting it- of course I went to a hacker 🤦🏻♀️. now it’s all good, Love my hair and it seems to change, it’s actually darker now lol- but I love the white parts. I just wish there were more of them. I have a more dark grey and whilte- salt and pepper. I do get lots of compliments on my hair. I truly think a hair style helps. Not just long but with a style to it. And don’t listen to those haters! It’s the stereo typing of grey hair. I had grey coming in, in my thirties. So yea, I am very glad not to have to deal with that dye anymore. I believe I was 53 when I finally let it go natural. And I have long hair. About mid back below the shoulders, but it’s in a butterfly cut- so some face shaping. Good luck stick with it! - p.s. if it gets to where your really not liking it, try some purple shampoo to lighten any white that has turned brownish and if that doesn’t work - well then you can always dye it again, 🤷🏽♀️. But at least you now know what it really looks like with your own color and I’m sure it’s saving you money 😉.
Thank you 💖
I think that sometimes grey hair looks old and worn out and sometimes it looks fabulous....maybe the blunt cut is the problem and you should add layers. I have a lot of white in my grey so I decided to make mine all white all over and really like that (my hair isn't long, though.) Maybe wear a little blush and subtle lipstick or gloss??? Play around with your look? I think you want to tweak something, maybe add a touch of flair? 💖
Thank you for your advice 💖 I am thinking of maybe getting a haircut.
You do what you want. Don't let anyone pressure you.
Thank you 💖
I am in the same situation now, but i am only 10 months in, and considering coloring again….I may hold out a little longer.
It gets easier with time 💖
Wow. I DARE someone to say that to me. They would never recover from the absolute tongue lashing I would give them, and it would make me even more determined to do it! I think you look great by the way, who cares what people say. I'd rather be natural and grey than keep putting chemicals in my hair for another 20 plus years.
Thank you 💖😊
You look beautiful. Be you and keep going.
Thank you 💖
Do not listen to that silly comment! You look beautiful with the gray hair. I just think some people are still really conditioned to this old stereotype. You do not look 'old' and you do not look 'worn out'. I get so inspired watching how amazing each individual going through this journey, ultimately transforms into a completely radiant person. I can't put it into words, but there is something that happens once a person has fully transitioned. Like they've come in to their own (power) maybe? And they just start glowing. I hope you keep going because you are almost there!
Thank you 💖
You are a beautiful woman and I would love to have your hair! Don't listen to anyone negative, don't read those comments. Surround yourself with people that support your efforts. There are so many of us that will cheer you on! Watch other silver sisters and their struggles through the transition. They can be very inspiring. You have put so much effort in and your gray IS beautiful! Your hair is long and healthy and will only get better with time. Embrace the gray and the new stage of you image and if it still doesn't feel right then maybe the time is not quite right to go gray. You cans always try again and again. I think it is as much mental as anything so don't be hard on yourself if the time isn't right for it now after all! Do what your heart wants to do and don't give a thought to anyone who doesn't support you decisions, whatever they are. Know that you are beautiful.
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I have decided to keep going grey.
Yeah, I'm so glad!
Maybe add a little temporary purple/ violet on your front pieces to add a pop of color! Artic fox brand is excellent, non damaging! I think it would look amazing!!
That is a good idea. Thank you for the suggestion 💖😊
You’re welcome! 💜💜
have you adjusted your makeup and clothes with a pop of color. do you style your hair.
I try to add more color to my clothes and make up. But I don't style my hair that often.
Don't you will regret it. I think treat yourself to a good trim. I'm not saying short but a good couple of inches off 're style and a good conditioner will make a big difference.
Me too I'm dye free 3 years but my grey hair seems to need more care than my dyed hair I think it's dulling my complexion imgoing to the hairdresser soon to ask for a lot of lowlights I had enough now
Doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.
I think grey is aging but your colour now is quite flattering and soft.
If it’s making you feel old and you don’t like it I would colour again.
Thank you for your kind words 💖
I think your hair is beautiful as it is.
Thank you 💖
It looks great. I'd just get a cut with more layers to remove the brown and then let it grow. Some people are just nasty and jealous. Please ignore mean comments.
Thank you 💖
Hi there I'm on my 8th month of growing out my silver. Listen Beauty I know comments like that are very rough n mean, but did you think that it could be someone that is scared of their true self? So many can judge, but not many can be true to whom they are. Your silver is beautiful, and believe me I've thought the same many times. I now wear wigs to change of up look, and it has been fun, but did you know also that that person that left that comment could not do this the way you did. I congratulate you, and embrace your natural beauty, because if you dying your hair you will only regret it due to the silver will still come in, and you will not be your authentic self. Plus you will have to keep dying all your natural beauty away. You don't look old I'm 48 and I feel 35 some people want you to have that spirit of evil don't let anyone steal your joy, and true self. Think about how far you have came , and went through all the transitions, feelings, etc to get here. Whatever decision you make be sure it's you thoughts, feelings, and not a comment that was mean with the serpents tongue.
Thank you for your kind comment 💖 I liked having my natural hair color, but right now I felt that I wanted to make a change. I felt really old when I looked at myself in the mirror. I am sure I will go back to my natural hair color again at some point later on. All the best to you 💖
I think you would like it better with a couple of inches off the length, that always lightens the load and makes you feel better...I think your hair is beautiful!!
Thank you 💖 I have cut off quite a bit now 😊
Was this person a hairdresser? You are not old & worn out. I’m so sorry someone said that to you. My hair has grown out for 3” & I’m already ready to add highlights.
I don’t know if she was a hairdresser. Thank you for your kind words 💖
Actually grey hair does lighten your face and it suits you. As we age our skin colour changes too so your hair compliments your face.
Thank you 💖
You are not old and worn out 1st , 2nd your gray looks great and maybe try a blend that includes your natural gray like maybe a salt and pepper blending that's used to lighten and brighten without total cover color ? 3rd you are beautiful and that person dislikes themselves and should not project how she feels about herself into you or anyone else ..
Thank you so much for your kind words and advice 💖
We all have times that we feel like this. I have found by changing my makeup to a slightly brighter look and wearing colors that are a little brighter. I feel like that helps my face not look great like my hair. Also I'm going to get the gray blending done at the hairdresser next month. I hope this helps a little bit I am sorry to see you feel bad don't let one mean comment dissuade you. You seem like a nice lady
I meant grey, not great!
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I will try brighter colors.
Do what makes you feel good, but have you thought about cutting your hair just above your shoulders and having it layered, with the shape of your face, I think it would look good. Also, maybe do highlights. I don't think you look tired and old, I am almost 65, now I look tired, but luckily My grey has been taking its time coming in. My mom passed away at 83 this past 2021 and she still had some of her natural hair color, she had been in a nursing home for several years so she did not have access to a beauty shop.
Thank you for your kind comment and advice 💖
This natural hair color compliments your wonderful skin tone beautifully! Your eyes are amazing! Perhaps simply refresh the hair cut and apply some lovely color to your lips? Also, you could try new colors in your clothes? I haven't dyed my hair for twenty years and I have my first gray hairs now. I notice that the color of some clothes that I used to really like do not look good on me any more. So, I am discovering new colors. My reasons for not dyeing my hair are ecological. I do not want to wash all those chemicals down the drain to pollute water and nature for my vanity. If there are days when I feel a bit tempted to dye my hair, I always go back to my green values and feel strong again in my decision and in myself. Love and all the best to you!
Thank you 💖 I will try to buy other colors of clothes. Mostly I have always bought discrete colors like gray, black or beige 😊 All the best to you too 💖
I'v tried 10x LOL I heard " if it makes you FEEL old ,color it" I seem to last about 4 months
It's not easy 🙂
Wow, you have alot of hair. I would be so happy to have such thick hair! Do what you want, dont let others be your judge. I have been where you are. I was foolish I would go white, after shaving my hair Lol. then I would dye it again, this happened 3 times. My husband said let it alone, it looks good white. I am now 65, and growing my hair out again, after dying it black. People can be very cruel, ive heard many comments good, and bad. Ive decided to keep my white. Do what makes you happy. If you!❤
Sorry, if you want to dye it go ahead, its your life, and you do not look old or worn out!
Thank you for your kind words 💖 I haven't dyed it anymore, it's still grey. In January it will be 3 years since I last dyed it. All the best to you 💖
Keep going and don't listen to people do as you please
Thank you ❤️
I am just starting mine as well at the moment I am 6 months in and it’s long not as long as yours but I am getting it cut slightly everyone has different greys it seems to me so I am like you right now I really want to leave it and I am sure I will but it seems to be coming through grey and dark if that makes sense but I will say to you keep on going and me as well ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Yes we will keep on going 💖 💖
@@Kati-almiel thank you for your support x
Kati, you have a beautiful youthful face and the grey does not harm you one bit, it looks like light brown and is a soft texture. All that being said, I feel women are pressured to go grey by other women--men would never want that for most women. If you want to color your hair, color it. I'm 61 and always looked older. Grey hair does me no favors
Hallo my friend nice to se you. I’ like ur hair style and let growing natural, no any fake colours it it’s very naturally so” l’ ur hair Color good to se ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼👍👍👍👍👍👍 have a healthy n happy godblease you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you 💖
I would just have a really cool cut
You look fab im in the process of growig out too
Thank you 💖 I wish you luck with your hair process.
Hello your hair is beautiful. I would go with lighter make-up thats more suited to lighter toned hair. I would go with some really light colors and then warm it up from there, that will make a huge difference. Your skin tone will carry it well and be more balanced appearance. The hair colors coming in are a lovely color, if you do make an adjustment I would just add a few highlights around your face for now, and maybe some more if you like how it turns out. It will still look natural as it grows out if you dont want to keep up with the highlights there wont be a harsh line like a dark color would show as the hair grows
Thank you for your advice 💖
