Trying to maintain a short shape: hair grows at warp speed. Growing out hair color: slower than a sleeping sloth.
Never a more true comment has been said 😂
Totally
Thank you for your video! Your hair looks great! I’m 63 and have been growing out my gray 4 months now. At first however I was a little freaked out because I have been coloring my hair since my early thirties. But I’ve learning to be more relaxed and to embrace the journey.
I just turned 57 and retired from my job. I bought two boxes of hair color a week ago and just decided nope not going to do it anymore.
Wow! I scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else noticed all of the small floating light orbs in this woman's video. They are flying all over the place, like fireflies. You cannot see them with your naked eye, but a digital camera will catch them and you can watch them on playback. She clearly could not see them during filming, but man, we can see them now!
Am I the only one getting distracted by the flying things/orbs? What is that?
It's only going to get better! It's so freeing & it somehow elicits more compliments. I'm quite shy & was surprised at how many strangers started conversations with me when I let my silver grow out. Your curls are fabulous! Stay well. Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY
I totally agree!
I would love to have curly hair like yours!
My first thought too! Love the curls! 👍🏽
Me too!
Been coloring my hair since early 30’s and am now 71. Can’t see allowing myself to go grey until at least 75. Kudos to everyone who has taken the challenge
Oh my gosh! I love your curls 💕 and your natural color is beautiful 🎉
☺️ Thank you
Love your enthusiasm and your hair looks great. You glow!
Thank you so much! That is so kind.
Gorgeous skin and makeup, you will rock the natural grey hair look
Your own colour is going to be STUNNING!
Thank you!
Wow! What beautiful, bouncy curls!
Thank you. I spent a year really learning how to take care of my waves.
Your gray is a lovely, silvery color, and the curl is awesome. Because you have such lovely skin, the combination will be absolutely stunning. By summer, you'll need to leave early on errands to answer the compliments you'll get along the way.
thank you so much
Thanks for your thoughts. We’re about the same. The last time I dyed my hair was September 2nd. I am also trying to enjoy the process and trying to not jump ahead to what it will look like. This is a test of my patience but I tell myself to enjoy the journey because when it’s over my dark hair will be gone forever. It’s a long goodbye to dark hair! 😍
I feel the same about it being a one time journey. I am enjoying it so far!
Have red curls. Curly girl method. Been letting it grow out since the end of January 2020. Quarantine to blame but I think it’s time to let it go. Going to be great to follow you......so far looking the same. And with similar curls going to be great
I love finding people with similar wavy hair on this gray journey.
Your gray color is gorgeous. It is going to make you eyes pop!
Thank you so much. I can't believe I didn't embrace this sooner!
Carrie love this video and the bloopers!👏🏼 you’re right video recording can be challenging for sure. I will say it gets easier more you do it. Love how many things you expected turned out to be better that’s so true in life and red definitely looks great on you and with gray hair!☺️🦋
I am jealous of your curls! It is going to look fabulous
Lucky charm Five awe, thank you.
just let me tell you it was really hard for me not to scroll down in comment before you were done with the video! Because your hair looks fantastic with that grey sweater that you are the one if your hair is going to grow in that color you're going to look great in that sweater LOL so wear it often! I think it's going to look fantastic because your skin is really clear and you hardly need a speck of makeup at all on your face to put color on there actually I just think it's very beautiful. And the fact that it's so true that it's your own color and the fact that you don't have to pay for it cuz you get it for free, is even better
Thank you so much Sara!
I subscribed! I’m in my three months of going gray and have curly hair. I tried once before about 8 months ago and was shocked at the change and went back to dying. After mid January I defended to embrace it. Your video sounds so much like how I feel. Excited to see how tmy gray/silver hair will turn out like and am super excited to see what I will look like. Yes celebrate US!! See you next time!
Hi! Are you still holding strong on your silvers?
Carrie-Jessica Going Gray & All Things Wavy Yes!!
Carrie-Jessica Going Gray & All Things Wavy How do I send you. a picture!?
Love your curls! And so pretty with the grey. I've just put up my 18 month no dye video. You're right about expectations! I can't wait to see how it comes out.
I am off to go check out your channel!
Love your message! Very inspiring. I’m also a curly girl and have been considering letting my grey grow out. I’m also curious how it will look and whether my curl pattern will change. Girl you are rocking the grey!
So far my grey has come in the same pattern.I thought it would change for sure.
We are all impatient when it comes to hair-growth... But your s is growing fast!!! I am 1 month further and do not get that much of outgrowth...So like you said let s enjoy the process!
So honest and refreshing to hear all your thoughts and fantasies which are just like mine.
I am 48 and transitioned 5 yrs ago.I started with a very short pixie cut. No regrets! So happy with my grays. Now I review and post videos of products to tone brassy natural grays. Cheers!
I will have to watch your reviews for sure!
Oh girl, you are just starting! When I transitioned my hair was below bra strap, it took me 18 months with several drastic layered cuts but I kept it long. I think the second half of the growth is the hardest because you just want it over with. I can tell you a couple things: you won’t know your hair color until ALL the dye is off. Seriously, even the last couple inches cast a color on your hair. My hair changed color after the completion, actually became much darker over the last couples years, so much so my stylist asked if I had colored. (She only sees me three times a year-long hair!) The texture is different now. Much softer, waves are much smoother but not as tight. ( it’s similar pattern to yours) But the one thing is fantastic is my hair is thicker, much thicker over the last couple of years. I never had the complements on my hair when I dyed. I get people telling me they love my long hair and often ask if I dye it this way! lol Keep going! It is worth it and unless you are allergic to dye (like me) you can always dye it again.
Sorry for the book!
Huh... it‘s been three months now... would love to see what your hair looks like right now!🤗 I‘m almost 5 months in and also, I‘m growing out my pixie 😊... bet you know exactly what I‘m going through right now!😅🙈 Anyway, you look great with your silver coming through... I hope you didn‘t give up or anything. All the best from Germany!🍀
Thanks for commenting! If you're on insta you can find me at Carrie__Jessica (2 underscores) I am much more active on there.
Carrie-Jessica Going Gray & All Things Wavy Yup, found you! You have one new follower.🤗 And you still look great btw.👍🏼
Hi, I am 2 months in. It's rough but I find wearing my hair curly helps. Can't wait to see the upcoming months. Not to mention so far I have received some compliments so that also helps.
New subbie here! I’m at 3 months too.
Please make another video. You are so positive.
Thank you! I just posted an updated video.
It’s so pretty ! I just started and am curious to see how my grey grows in
Thank you 😊 How are you doing with your grey?
I’m right there with you about 6 weeks in no dye...feeling excited 😁
Carrie-Jessica Going Gray & All Things Wavy I’m LOVING my grey. I’m always up for change and not following the norm.
Love the waves/curls!
I took clippers and put a one-inch long guard on it and I cut off everything but my bangs. Going from dying my hair to being a natural grey took me 15 minutes. Now I can let it grow out if I want to. Enjoying the short hair for now. Easy to wash and take care of.
Thanks for sharing. I am 2 months into my gray and curlie girl journey. So far so good,
Hope you're still sticking with the gray, let me know how it's going!
Thank you I soooo needed to hear this today on my 46 th bday !!! I can do it !!
Yes, you can! It's never been a better time to embrace our grey. Happy late birthday!!
Your hair is beautiful!!! Wish mine looked like that!!!
Thank you. I worked really hard to get my hair healthy again.
It looks awesome
thank you
how's your journey going? I'm currently not going gray, but I'm growing out my natural blonde after black dye and these videos really help encourage me :)
I am now 8 months dye free and still loving it. I just uploaded a new video.
Would love to see an updated video. I am gray and wavy too.
I just posted a long-overdue update. I am now 8 months color free.
I gave up on dying my hair because 1 week later i get grays again! and i made sure that it was covered.but i turned 50 on the 16th and going gray is ok for me.because coloring all the roots is too exhausting! so i am 3 months in. and i am ok with it. i don't look 50 anyways! lol
How are you doing, still sticking with the gray?
Started my journey 6 weeks ago.
Welcome to Silver Sisterhood!
Just subscribe to your channel and love it!!! You have beautiful curls, my hair is natural curly too and I have decided to go grey wish me luck
How are you doing? Have you stuck to silver?
Yes!! I’m sticking to silver 😃
@@irmapena4923 so happy for you!
Love your curls & I am at the same stage as you ,
Did you see you have lots of cheeky orbs around you & a little dust they are making 😊
Beautiful... if only mine would grow in like yours... instead of 8 grey hairs scattered about on the top of my head a few sprinkles on the right side and 2 on the left side 🤣
Haha, our hair is never what we want, is it?
@@CarrieJessica ain't that the btw your hair is beautiful too❤
Embrace the reality. We are aging. So it's normal.
I'm embracing the journey...I'm into my 4th month now and looking forward getting a short bob..
How are you doing? Sticking with the gray?
my hairdresser Lightened my dyed hair and used a gray toner. It really was easy. And my is very white… I use a graphite shampoo
I am a hairdresser and the average growth of hair is 1/2” a month which is super slow when you want it to grow out.
I would love an update!
I just posted an update, I am now 8 months color free
So true! I've been wishing my gray hair grow out away instead of trying to enjoy it more. Thankfully I have a looonng want to go 😆
This whole self love thing is a constant work in progress.
Wow... I love your hair... Beautiful skin too....
thank you
Hello beautiful, please upload a video about what you use for the skin of your face! You have incredible skin, congratulations greetings from Chile.
Thank you Pamela. I am actually working on posting my evening skincare routine on Instagram. You can find me there as carrie__jessica (2 underscores)
Your hair is great!
Thank you Theresa, it has been a work in progress for the past year. 2020 will be all about taking care of my skin and growing this gray.
I said your hair looks great with that grey sweater that you have on. Talk-to-text always wants to write its own stuff.
😂
Looking forward the results four months after the video. Are you still on the porpouse???? I am on my trid month, and going gray and have no patience at all jajajaja. Thanks for sharing your experience!!!
I am still silver. I just added a new video with my 8 month update.
Loved your video thanks👍😁
Took my clippers and put a 1" guard on it . I left my bangs in tact. Buzzed off the rest of my hair and I love. My grey hair grow out took 15 minutes. I love it and I am going to keep this hair style.
Beautiful hair. It will be gorgeous gray. Agree, enjoy the journey.
Changes in what I wear; for me it was about tone, I went from dark hair, which was a high contrast with my skin tone to lighter hair, less contrast. I have to say I can wear more earrings than I did before because the tone is continuous from hair to ear rings. I have short hair. I didn’t like it before when my hair was dark because it didn’t flow. It just looked like things were dangling off my ears. Looks like your hair is going to be lighter than the colored part, I think your natural color hair is going to compliment your skin better but I also think your colored hair is a pretty color.
JoJo Rey thank you. I can’t wait for some more growth! ❤️
You look great. Is it cause of the salons being closed?
My last time having my hair colored was Sept 2019, though there are many women considering seeing more of their grey after salons closed.
I can't see to keep my dang hair out of my eyes.. my hair is like yours, but always falling forward.... UGH..... I keep a clip in it, but hate that. How do you keep your hair out of your eyes?
Hi! I am in month 3 of no color no dye no high lites. I am letting it grow. This video was 4 months ago. How does it look like today? You look great already I am excited to see an update. Take care stay safe.
thank you so much! I just posted a video today with a long-overdue update.
This long in 2 years from pixie? Your hair grow with speed of light!
It does grow very quick.
The tones is so true. I always thought I was warm color. I have noticed I am cool . Soo Ah ing said that I guess the hair color I was using was not working for me because I was using too warm of color. I always felt like my hair color and face almost looked monotone.
I can attest to the whole wrong color, been there for sure!
Hi
Do you use blue shampoo and conditioner?
Same! I can't wait to be all grey but I'm really enjoying the journey and the surprise colors that are popping out. My natural hair was ash black, my forever dyed color is dark brown and at 2 1/2 months no dye it's getting kinda tortoise shell?
Paula Camillucci oh wow, I bet that’s beautiful.
By the way...I love love love your personality!! ❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Hi, are you still going grey?
I am! I just posted a new video today. I am 8 months dye free now.
I'm twice as far as you at this point. 7 months next week. Yes, it is an incredibly slow process! Yours looks great and should be fabulous with your wavy hair! My bangs have another month to go before I can trim off the rest of the color on them. I like my silver hair but it does scream and draw attention. Like you, I am an introvert, and that by itself requires an adjustment. I have shoulder-length hair and plan a big chop when my bangs are grown out....yeah!!
mulberry100 I’ve been thinking about bangs.
What the heck is flying around?
OMG his video HAUNTS my nights 😂 There is a box to my right, it’s Christmas decor from the attic that we hadn’t used in several years. The amount of dust flying around was ridiculous. I was (and still kinda am) so new to recording that I didn’t think it would show up. Now I keep it because it makes me laugh. We’re all new and make mistakes at some point, mine are on the internet.
👍👍👍👍🙏🇬🇪
HI you have great hair and yiour grays are beautiful and even too. are you still gray ? I,v tried 5x hug friend connie AKA OVER70 stillglamorous" :)
Hi Connie. I am 8 months silver now. I just uploaded a long-overdue video update here on youtube.
You hair in the back could still be dark. The hair at your hair line may only be at the hair line. Get another pixie.
I just had a pixie 2 years ago. Not sure I’ll go back to that already.
Waited all this time and you did nothing.
