    It’s beautiful 🤩 - I want to do the same but my hair is black and I’m so tired of dying my roots every month… I did some highlights in December and I will do more soon but I don’t want to cover my hair with black anymore.

    I’m a 28 year old male. I started graying since I was 14. I used hair dye ever since until a few months ago. I tried henna+ indigo and all those diy’s. I work in the biotech, work on site see people every day etc. I even noticed my hair has been thinning lately. I also believe the harmful color did way too much damage all these years. Deep down i really want to just grow my greys and don’t give a damn. But idk it’s just the society I don’t understand. I have mixed feelings. Rn I am using henna and indigo which doesn’t really hold to shorter hair. My greys are pretty Visible rn in mixed colors . People should normalize this. It’s pretty much genetic. My mom grayed from her teens. I feel more confident to just go for it and grow my natural hair/ preserve my existing hair instead of damaging. Would be tough tho

    You could let your gray hair grown out, and then do platinum highlights once per year. They would blend perfectly, and your face is so young, that you could pull it off. You look very young, and you are very pretty. The blue eyes and gray look like a model.

    Welcome to being silver. I call it silver, makes me more confident. When people remove a lose strand from my sweater, etc., I tell them to leave my tinsel and smile. It s fun being silver. You 'll find when standing in a line you 'll look around and women will slowly smile at you, they are thinking about it, I can tell. When I turned 50, I thought I m going to show my girls in the family, silver is not looking old, it s showing how being silver you still have energy and you are still young. My son got married mid colour change, dang.... I wore a fascinator and pulled it off just fine. I m growing my hair long and many people actually compliment my hair colour and I tempt them to join our team. So welcome to the team and continue to show confidence and be a strong woman of choice. You are beautiful.

The first time I had one was at like 32, I am 35 now and I was like what is in my hair, so I pulled it out. It was only a couple inches long at the top of my roots, new hair growth. It looked just like fishing line. I was so confused, like how to fishing line get stuck in my hair, lol!

    Guys I want to recommend something my aunt did. Although this hasn't been yet a concern for me, I want to understand how people perceive beauty against what society sets the standards as and due to my curiosity ended up here. So I want you to look up something called Grey Blending. So basically according to your hair and greying intensity, you can get the grey blended with silver or extremely bright blonde or ash brown kind of colours to make it look like you just had your hair highlighted or coloured. Another plus point of it is that you need much less touch-ups than someone with no greying because your new outgrowth of roots will still blend with the rest of the hair for quite a long time. Hence less damage and a new hair color for you.

Every now and then I get a comment "ohh your going grey, you might want to dye your hair again". Like hell no thankyou, I think there is a real raw beauty in aging, and to cover that up with a dye job seems almost sacrilegious to me. I want to watch how I change with the years, hair and all.

It is the first one I see about someone my age growing their natural hair back, so it is very encouraging, specially for those days where I think 'What am I doing?'. To anyone that is think about growing their natural hair back, I totally recommend it. It is absolutely beautiful to see the patterns that white hair makes, and so see your hair shiny and healthy again.

    Your grey is beautiful! Can I recommend something? I use the Fudge Cool Brunette conditioner to tone the brassiness of my former dye job back. It’s SUPER pigmented and bright turquoise. There’s also a Cool Blonde version. I think just using the conditioner on the blonde part, NOT on your natural hair, would tone it back to pretty much your natural color. Make sure to comb it through with a really wide toothed comb so it blends. The color washes out, so if you get a little on the tips of your natural color, it will wash out in a few washes. I’ve found this to be really helpful to match my colored ends to my cool natural tones. Hope that helps!

I'm nearly five months into doing this and found that lightening the coloured part of my hair really helped a lot, as well as using purple shampoo. I've gotten past being self-conscious about it, and really enjoying the freedom of that root touch up chore - so boring. I'm in my mid-fifties and just wish that I'd have done this much earlier.

    This was recommended to me, which is great cause I've been dealing with my gray hair since I was about 20. I'll be 30 this year and it is crazy how often people comment about my gray's in person. This makes me feel reassured that embracing my gray hairs isnt weird. I am enjoying getting older and it is kind of cool to see the changes. You look amazing with your natural silver tones. Thank you for this video.

    I'm so glad I came across your video. I am in my mid 50's single, no children, or husband etc.....I have been coloring my hair medium rich brown or some brown tones for quite some time. I would really like to go all grey as I know there is a lot, I mean a lot. My roots are coming out now and I have 1 box color left and after watching your video, I am thinking about not coloring it, and see what it looks like. I wish there was a way to go and have all the color taken off and see what it looks like, but it sounds like that is not an option. My hair is long (past my shoulders), I have cut about 13 inches off before and said I won't do this again and I did. Now it is long again and I really want to keep it long (no matter my age) as I think women should dress and wear and do for themselves what makes them happy. I am very self conscience about my looks and have had an eating disorder since about 20 yrs. old. So, I'm at a cross roads on what to do. I see a lot of women that are grey younger or went grey because they wanted to and they look so pretty. When I see someone I usually tell them how pretty their hair is, because maybe they are feeling old and self conscience and maybe put a smile on their face to know someone thinks they look pretty. Thank you for the nice video and you and your hair are beautiful and it looks really nice on you. I subscribed after seeing your video and look forward to seeing more I hope. God Bless you and Thank you. You look beautiful.

I am in my 70s so it's not like I have a lot of time for this. I just want to have healthy hair again and look more normal/natural. I have auburn hair going gray/silver. Don't like the contrast.

    I agree. There are young people going to salons to achieve the beautiful shade of gray that is her real hair color and she also has the lighter streaks that add dimension. For me I find that depending on the skill of the person doing the application, colored hair can look really aging on some people. She has a very youthful face and her eyes look absolutely stunning.

    Hi you are adorable. Love you and your message about going grey. In August it will be two years since I started. I had tinted dark hair. I'm over seventy. I never knew what my real hair looked like. I started letting it grow at its own pace, not worrying about the demarcation line. I had middle lenght hair. I kept cutting the ends of the hair at the same rate I thought the hair was growing, so about 1cm or so every month. Consequently I always manteined the same length of hair. At 18 months my hair was completely silver. Really, It was the most shine, lovely, lightish silver color. I could not believed it. I deeply regret not having had the courage to go grey years ago. So ladies, listen to the wise advise of this nice young lady and to others like me. Go for it. be patience, you will not regret it when you enjoy the beauty of your crowning glory.

    Thanks for watching! I've noticed that I have more flyaways, but I'm not sure if that's related to the gray hair or not. I've been using a pomade to try to slick them down, but it hasn't been working very well. I've heard gray hair is more prone to being frizzy, but I haven't noticed too much of a difference. I feel like I won't have a strong opinion on haircare until I finally get rid of my colour-treated ends. I'm thinking purple shampoo and some extra conditioning will do the trick though.

    Thank you for this video ! I'm 23 I started having my firt grey hair at 16. Now they are becoming more obvious, people are always asking me why I don't cover them up but I love them. You're video is giving me confidence in my choice of not covering them up. I personnaly only use henna to colors slightly my hair and henna fade really quickly on white hairs (less than a week) .

    Your hair is beautiful, I've been trying to match this shade artificially for a long time to blend with my natural grey hairs. Tbh I can't wait until I get to your stage of greying, you look pretty rad.

    i also have an area on my head where grey hairs grow out and i also dye it bc i insecure about what people gonna think of it i always was scared that the people gonna bully me or say something like your a granny or something like that and having the desire to dye the roots when they are visible is also tiring but seeing u talking confidently about this makes me feel more better and give me the thought if i let my grey hair grow out too in my opinion its so amazing that u don’t care what others say 🥰😊🥺

    Yay, another silver friend! And the confidence comes with time. I used to think I would never stop dying my hair.

    Thank you for this video. I'm 40 and I'm also growing out my natural gray hair. I'm at month 2 and my roots... yeah not so great at this point but when I see yours I stay motivated!
