Thank you for making this video. I wish I'd found it sooner. I grew my natural gray hair out and it was just so unflattering. I added highlights with high lift color and my hair is so much better looking. I only go in to get it retouched 2-3 times per year. I wish people would do more videos like this showing how you can embrace your gray with color. It's not either or.
Your hair journey is what got me started watching you! I'm on 2.5 years since any dye touched my head; I had extremely dark hair and quit cold turkey. It was tough for many months but the aspect that you speak about of being freed from the feeling of HAVING to dye it (every 2 to 3 weeks for me)is one of the best feelings I have ever had. I think the lighter tones actually make you look younger, and I've had people tell me the same. At a certain age, dark hair begins to draw a face down IMO. Anyway, thanks for sharing your journey and being an inspiration! ❤
Your hair is gorgeous. In fact, it's how I found your channel! I saw your hair and had to see...I love the gray with the highlights. I'm so tempted to try it. I started my gray journey almost six years ago, and I like it fine, but it sometimes looks flat to me. I think the highlights add so much dimension, and I love how they don't hide the gray. It can feel so all or nothing, so this in-between approach is great.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! And all the things you said are the reasons I love adding in the highlights, I say go for what feels best for you!!
This was very enjoyable to watch! When you showed your initial picture with your dark hair I was like “whoa!” Because I didn’t remember how dark it had been! That’s cool that you can look great with dark or lighter hair. I’m 39 now and I have little errant white hairs popping up around. I tweeze them 😬🤣oops. But I know at some point it’s going to be a lot more vs one here and there. We shall see what the future holds for me. I have had very dark hair my whole life, never dyed it or highlighted it. It’s been amazing, but now I’m seeing how once you start getting some whites to grays, they REALLY stand out against the dark hair, haha.
Your hair looks gorgeous Trish! I move around a lot and have worked with many different stylists. I have some gray hairs coming through, I've found it is imperative to find a stylist who understands the graying process and who specializes in highlights. It is a skill that not everyone is trained in :)
Trish, I"m slightly olive like you, so when I decide to go gray, I'll bring in your image. In the meantime, recently switched to all natural hair color. It's a bit of a time-cost, because I have to travel to a special salon. I'm hoping all natural options become more prevalent as the news/research circulates about the potential harm of long-term use of the typical permanent dyes.
I feel like olive tones can be tricky when it come to gray, so happy to be of assistance, lol! And I agree with you, the more option out there for more natural hair dyes the better! Thanks so much for watching 💗☺
I absolutely love your hair with the highligts and lowlights. I love that blended look you were talking about. I am a brunette and I dyed my hair from the age of 16 years old. At the end I didn't know what tone my natural hair had. When I was 37 and pregnant. ( I only have one doughter) I stoped dyeing my hair. I had a a little bit of gray but not much. But afther giving birth I decide to dye again and ceep my hair again like before. But afther become a mother my hair changed. I it was straight before, and now I had much more cruls. I decide to grow out my pixy cut to longer hair again. And about the same time I decide to not dyeing anymore. Today I am happy with my natural hair. And finally embraced the cruls. For some reason that was the hardest part for me. But my natural hair is still pretty dark with some gray in the front and on the sides. But I see myself doing highligts to when my gray becomes more prominent. I think this blended look with the soft blond and gray and brown looks so nice.
I missed you. I stopped getting updates on when your new videos drop. Glad I manually searched for you. I love your gray hair with the highlights. It looks so good and like it’s naturally coming in with high/low lights. I’m going to look into getting highlights that will blend in since I’m over dying my hairline and having to do it so often since that’s where all my gray is. Any recommendations for eyebrows? I just turned 55 and my eyebrows look like I’m 70😢. I heard stress will cause quick graying of the eyebrows. I’ve started to use an eyebrow pencil but not so happy with the color. I’m using the Chantecaille brow color pencil with brush
I'm so glad you found me again too! If you are subscribed to my channel, you can hit that little bell next to where it says "subscribed" to get notified when a new videos drops:) I don't have any recs regarding eyebrows, I don't use any products with color in them. I think you can dye your brows, but I've never done it!
Trish your hair looks gorgeous. I have some gray but not so much I have to color every 4-5 weeks. I go to the stylist about every 8-10 weeks for color ( highlights twice a year ) . I’m an older woman and I figure if I have a few grays no biggie . It’s so freeing I’am sure not to have to go to the stylist but go because you want a refresh. That’s how I look at the whole color thing . My salon uses Aveda products which have quality ingredients and is environmentally friendly.
I should have done that when my hair was dull white/grey. But I coloured it again..... Now I am growing out my grey again and this time I want to have lowlights blended with my grey.
Unfortunately not all of us get nice salt and pepper gray. Remember that you might not get the cool pretty colors you see on many videos, even with purple shampoo. I did a few yrs of grow out and the bangs and some areas around my head were a pretty silver. The rest of my hair was a strange brown color which after about 2 yrs I am ready for change. I dont want to add dye and chase the gray again BUT I do want a nicer tone than I have. I decided to bleach and tone to a lovely silver color. This way I can grow out gray and it will blend without using dye. My hair is healthy so the process went well.
I would also add that cool colors don't look good on everyone, even if you can achieve those pretty tones. Warmer tones look better on me. That's why the highlight/lowlight combo has been working for me, I think it's much more flattering.
I let the gray come out for about 6 months. I recently dyed it again and feel and look younger. Grey hair can be beautiful, but it's not exactly youthful. Just being honest.
Trish, your decisión to cease the slavery of dying roots and the way you have chosen to add brightness 🌞 is fabulous 👌 Just incredibly attractive.
Thank you Alma, that is so sweet and supportive of you to say ❤❤
@@TrishV1 it opens new aesthetic possibilities :) for me.
Your light hair suits you soo well! I even like it better than the dyed dark brown before pictures. It does not make you look older either. Gorgeous.
💗☺💗
A great hair colorist is a magician. I need one!!!
💯
I love your hair! 😊
Thank you Margaret!!

I could not agree with you more! There are so many ways to embrace going gray! 🤗🤍
Thanks so much for inspiring me. I am in month 3 of this journey and your hair looks beautiful ❤
So glad it helped and I wish you the best of luck! 🙏🏼🤍💗🤍

Thank you MaryAnn!!! 😘
I’m glad you mentioned the Merit lipstick color because I thought what a great color!
It's so good! I just love it 💋
You have a beautiful head of hair. I think going grey makes your skin look brighter.
Why thank you so much! 🤍☺
Thank you for posting this! This is exactly what I want to do and now I have your video as a reference.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Yay!! 🥳

I feel the same way when I look back at those old videos, I'm like....was my hair really that dark??

I completely agree! My colorist now really has it dialed in and it makes a big difference!

Thank you so much! Sounds like we have similar hair, mine got curly/wavy after pregnancy too!

May I suggest the butterfly cut so you will have lots of layers and your hair will look curlier😊
It's a fine line between curlier and way too poofy!
Trish your hair looks gorgeous. I have some gray but not so much I have to color every 4-5 weeks. I go to the stylist about every 8-10 weeks for color ( highlights twice a year ) .

Love a good refresh! And isn’t it so nice only going to the salon every once in a while? Makes it much more enjoyable IMO ☺️
I should have done that when my hair was dull white/grey. But I coloured it again..... Now I am growing out my grey again and this time I want to have lowlights blended with my grey.
It's all a process isn't it? it takes time to figure it out so be patient with yourself, you'll get it dialed in!! 🥰

The model looks similar to @thesilverlining_1970 but I can’t say for sure.
I don’t think that’s her, but her hair is gorgeous as well!
