Are you going gray in secret? Let me know!
I dyed my hair super platinum and that was it! My roots are all white anyway. I was 62 and waited for the salt and pepper to go to 75/90 percent grey. It was so easy!
@@gabrielleangelica1977 I'm glad you had such an easy transition! xoxo
I 'm literally being forced into going gray after I lost 1/4 of my hair so far I believe to COVID. I'v cut it 3x now and it's still breaking off and I had very long hair. they tell me it will grow back.
@@conniemurphyover70stillgla47 I'm so sorry that happened! I lost a lot of hair recently but not to Covid but anesthesia (I didn't realize that was a side effect). My friend who is a hair science expert recommended I try these vitamins to help: www.vitacost.com/superior-source-no-shot-b-12-5000-mcg-vitamin-d-5000-iu-100-instant-dissolve-tablets-2 - I like them, as they are small and dissolve quickly (I have a horrible time with vitamins). Hope that helps!
just buzzed my head no more dye
My daughter went "white" the natural way. Her hair was white, ginger, and medium brown. It took about 2 years. I didn't want to go that route.
I'm almost 80, and had natural medium brown hair. I've dyed it a darker brown most of my life. I've dyed it light brown for the last 2 years.
About a month ago I stripped the brown dye off with vitamin C and dandruff shampoo. My hair was a strawberry blonde, with darker orange ends. I left it that way for a couple of weeks. Then I bought a box of L'Oreal platinum bleach from Walmart. My hair is a brassy blonde right now. I put some purple conditioner on it from the box of bleach. It toned the brassiness down for now. I bought another box of L'Oreal bleach from Walmart. I plan on using it in a few days, then I will tone my hair. Later on I hope to go to a silver blonde, then to silver, or what ever my natural color is.
I am 34 who has dyed my hair since the age of 14. I have salt and pepper hair naturally now and started letting my hair grow out for 3 months so my hair dresser could see what I had. I am growing out my natural hair with getting some baby highlights once every so many months now. I find this method really good for me and I have noticed a huge positive difference in my hairs health. I also suggest if anyone does this method to use a good purple shampoo every other wash to help with any warmth.
Thanks for sharing!
What purple shampoo do you use? Thanks in advance
Best one I use is the Fudge Professional Clean Blonde Damage Rewind shampoo and conditioner. It's brilliant and doesn't dry your hair like most purple shampoos. Really takes away the warmth and yellow tones. I use it once or twice a week depending. Hope this helps x.
@@carolannbell1989 Thank you xx
I have done the same with some highlights. Great idea.
Thanks you so much for the information about the dye strip. I’m four months into growing out my grays and have been using temporary root touch up powder every day where I part my hair. Sometimes by the end of the day it would be gone and you could see my demarcation line.
After watching your video, I just did the dye strip. I absolutely love it! I’m feeling much more positive about making it through the process of growing out my grays.
Thank you!!!
Wonderful! I’m so happy to hear that ❤️
Oooo! The strip dye method sounds like the one for me. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
Well, lo and behold, what I just did was exactly your salon transition suggestion. It worked great and I think will help me wait out the full transition without suddenly wanting to cut it all off a year in. I had always dyed my hair on my own but didn't trust myself not to burn it all off in the bleach-out process as my focus for the first 6 month transition was to get my hair as healthy as possible so I didn't want to wreck that, but I did want to get as much warmth out of the red growout as possible.
I'm so glad you found a solution that worked for you! 😍
I am one of those people who does not mind going grey and have let it just be what it is. I am actually happy to see more and more grey stands in my hair.
Good for you! I wish I had done that. I would’ve saved myself years of damaged hair.
This looks like a great way!! I am going to try it ...Thanks
you're welcome!
I have long hair (dyed dark brown but now fading to a reddish brown) with about 4” of gray roots. I usually twist or French braid it which hides the demarcation line and looks really cool with the gray peeking out between the darker sections. I am thinking of cutting it into a long bob to get rid of the damaged ends, but still allow me to do a braid as I grow it out again. Love your tips! Hope mine looks as good as yours someday!
Thank you! I love the way transitioning braids look - take lots of photos! A long bob is a good idea - I did that as well, since my ends were so damaged. Best of luck to you!
I also kept a bob style while i grew out very red henna turning orange lol. Covid hit in Italy and we locked down big time. So l grew my hair long for about 2 years, getting henna slowly trimmed out and lots of wearing my hair up. Now l am salt and pepper ish and have a layered bob. Having layers can also speed up getting the colour out of the ends. Four inches is a lot and you will find that with a bob it will soon start to blend better, hang in there. It is a frustrting yet liberating process x
Not in secret, but going gray! I am at 7.5 months and no turning back! I have very long hair and would definitely not buzz it off. I told myself absolutely no considering a cut until 1 year and/or chin length. So cold turkey is my method! Thanks for sharing all your experiences & insights & advice🤗
You're welcome! I also transitioned with longer hair and I had a great experience - it definitely isn't for everyone, but cutting your hair short or bleaching your hair isn't for everyone either! And thanks for the kind words - you're welcome!
@@KatieGoesPlatinum True, we all find our way when we are ready! Definitely a journey!
I tried going natural a few times. This time though enough time has passed that my hair feels so much better. It's shinier and stronger, less dry. I don't want to ruin that. My demarcation line isn't really that noticeable but it gives me the opportunity to compare the colored section against my natural hair. I love it!
I’m so glad! It’s fun, right? I loved seeing the contrast in my demarcation line, too ♥️
I started going gray in my early teens around 13 or 14 years old. I had super l long hair past my butt. I had always dyed my hair every color you can think of from natural to fun colors and highlights. Last couple years i decided to let my hair grow out a bit and i saw that about 50%of my hair is salt and pepper. I've been growing it out cold turkey and loving it. Right now hair is about 20 inches long with blonde highlights and my salt and pepper is about 10 inches. Growing it out couple more months and I'll do a big chop and it'll just be my natural hair 😊 I'm excited! Your hair is gorgeous btw
How fun! It sounds like it's going to be a gorgeous result, Stella. I'm so glad you're having fun going gray! And thanks for the kind words. ♥
I am starting this journey with about an inch of grey white ,dark brunette roots ,with long layered hair that no.5 with honey pieces ,looking into the best route for me , been thinking of doing this for 6 months wish i had started then , we are ready when we are ready , I am 53 and feel empowered to just let it grow naturally not bothered by roots atm , hopefully thst continues , as i grew more to love and accept me and my true authentic being . Thank you for video as was thinking only other option would of been salon , having dark hair , and your view has made me decide to just go with letting natural grow for months to a length i can have medium length layers .
I’m so glad you liked the video! And yes, you have to do this when you’re ready. Your plan sounds like a good one!
I used the go gray kit from Walmart and I’m super happy about it
Hi! What the kit includes and how is the method? Thanks!
They don’t have their own brand. What brand was it ?
I don't know how it happened but I found a section of hair that I can part it at where you can see the grey hair but there's no sharp demarcation line. So I just use that instead of dyeing it. The idea is it'll grow out and will continue to be a smooth transition 😅 I'm just so done with dyes and root sprays but I can't see myself wearing a wig or cutting it all off in one go. If I didn't have to go to the office for a long time like during the lockdowns (missed the boat back then) then I might do the buzz cut
I went full on skunk look and all lol 😀
I’m 21 months in. My stylist kept highlighting my hair every 2-3 months to lighten my dark brown hair and blend my color. Currently I have 1.5-2” of yellowish ends that I am using purple shampoo to tone. . I’m 99% silver and I LOVE the color.
I'm so glad you love it!
Wet and wild Water proof mascara is cheap. It’s a good way to blend it and won’t come off on your hands when your touch it
Thanks Katie..Im good with cold turkey on my very dark and very long hair..3 months in and I have to say whst I can see so far is my color is really beautiful 😍
That's wonderful, Denise!
@@KatieGoesPlatinum thanks Katie 😊
Same! Haven’t dyed it since Nov 2022
This method in combination with the undercut is great to accelerate the growth of new gray hair underneath.
How about using temporary rinses? I've never tried that but am considering it. I like the lowlights methods I've seen on YT but it seems expensive. I color my hair at home using henna. Has anyone done lowlights at home? I don't want to go completely gray yet. I was naturally dark brown but have been doing auburns for many years. I would keep coloring it but the older I get the sillier it looks with my fading skin color. I'm 63.
Theoretically, a great thought.... when in windy climates.....different story.
Good point!
I'm thrilled to find out about the dye-strip method but no way on the vaseline! Is there anything else - much easier to wash out - to use instead? Or how about not using anything and doing a careful job? Oh dear...and more questions: How does one with long hair wear a wig? Where does all that hair go and it must feel like being in a sauna even in the winter. It seems a topper would be simpler but how hot do they get?
Hi, some people don't use the vaseline - they're just careful, as you suggested. See this video for updated pictures on the dye strip technique - this lady I featured does NOT use vaseline: th-cam.com/video/_fVMrek-L_s/w-d-xo.html
Re: wigs being hot, I wonder about that myself but a lot of people says they don't mind it (if they line a cold climate). Toppers would definitely be cooler.
I'm 2 months and 2 years in. I get a haircut in 3 weeks...can't wait. I have natural dark blonde in the back but mostly white on top. I cannot wait to get the colored stuff cut off but I'm going slowly since I hate short hair on me. My daughter grew hers out and got a short cut....it looks awesome...just depends on what you like😊
I felt the same way you did - I don't like myself in short hair, so I just cut a bit of the dyed hair off every so often. It makes it easier to get used to being gray that way!
Good luck!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
ESP es polvo decolorante eso yo no lo quiero tengo igual pelo castaño oscuro y canas ya no tengo tintes lo puedo usar gracias
Sorry, which product are you talking about?
How would a temporary wash-in shampoo hair color work that you just applied to the roots while the gray was growing out? Would it give enough color to your roots to match the rest of medium brown hair? Again, this in the temporary shampoo-in color that washes out. Also, would the go-gray hair color remover treatment damage the hair and do you know how many applications it might take for medium brown hair?
Hi, re: temporary wash in shampoo - I'm not sure, but you could try Keracolor Klenditioner in a shade that matches your hair and experiment with it. A lot of women have told me it did not stain their silvers.
RE: go-gray system,some of my readers tested it for me. It did fade their dye a bit - not dramatically but subtly enough that they were happy with the results.
Here to learn about going grey in secret; instead I only see the vinyl and vintage stereo equipment. 🙂
I’m so glad you noticed that! My husband and I love vinyl. That’s his Dad’s 1970s McIntosh receiver and my 1980s Technics turntable. Both work great! The records are from the 1930s through today ♥️
I have White hair, which I Love, problem is I have parts that are black/Grey? How do I get rid of it?
Hi! Unless you get it professionally bleached and dyed to match (which can be very damaging to dark hair and expensive to maintain), I'm not sure what you can do. There's a chance that you'll eventually lose pigment in all of your hair as the years go by, but that's not always the case. (I personally think the contrast is very pretty)
What about dumb with semi permanent dye? If you used that for 1-2 years would it wash out?
I would not recommend using semi permanent dye - it will still change the underlying structure of your hair and alter the color. It won’t wash away completely.
Thank you for answering. I have been wondering about this for a while.
A que le llaman pavo frío por favor
Hi! Cold turkey just means to stop dyeing altogether. No more dye, just let the gray roots grow out and get the dyed part (eventually) cut off.
🎉
Yikes hot wigs
Some people do love them, but I also feel like I'd be too hot in them. A hair piece would be a good substitute :-)
Who want to wear a wig!!!
There are some women who do!
The flashing lights or whatever it is in the background of this video are so annoying stop watching it it’s super distracting
I totally agree! I’ve fixed this problem in future videos (we have a big problem with birds getting killed running into our windows, so I put up reflective disks. Now I get my husband to take them down every time I make a video)
Thanks for that. I'll delete my comment about it!
Grey hair. Don't care.
