I first discovered you, Nikol, less than a year ago...I was instantly drawn to your style - the clothing, the hair, the makeup. I think you're absolutely gorgeous - and part of that is the grey hair! I've recently committed myself to going grey. I'm naturally blond, 57 years old, still youthful looking (thank goodness). But going grey. And I have to say - I am excited!!! And this video helped tremendously. Thank you for being you!

I went not gray but platinum. Was so pleased with the color when I stopped using L’Oréal #9 natural blonde. Have a youthful haircut and at 82, and a 13 lb. loss, I’m feeling pretty good about myself.

I Love your Hair

I dyed mine so long, I wasn’t aware of how much gray I had. Finally went cold turkey and didn’t look back. A haircut helped as I was blond with lots of gray, so that helped, looked like highlights. By the time I was used to the new color and cut, chemo took it all. Now, it’s back and looks better than ever. Letting it grow to my Bob. Lol! Your hair is fabulous and gets better every year!

You must have the support of your stylist! I loved my former salon and the stylists I met there, but when I chose to stop coloring (I was constantly fighting a front streak with color, hair mascara, powders) I did not feel the love. I found a wonderful new salon and stylist who was excited to support my transition to grey. It made all the difference in the world. I’ll never go back to coloring. My only disappointed is how much brown I still have in the back! I’m 68 and I ceased my war on grey four years ago. You have to be happy with your own choice. Best wishes to all 🎄❤️❄️

Omg! Adding a dark stripe is genius! Great upbeat video! You look so beautiful!

I agree, may try that too!!

You’re a wonderful inspiration. Several years ago, I went back to my natural color but it wasn’t grey enough for me. I’m now embracing my grey again and adding highlights. I’m having fun and that’s all that matters.

Thank you for all of your uplifting videos. I’m at the beginning of my gray, (white) hair journey. So far I’m doing OK. I’m 69 years old so I don’t feel it’s as hard as if I was much younger. When I feel like I might want to color my hair I watch one of your wonderful videos and it empowers me to move forward not coloring it. My husband has also helped with being very positive about my transitioning hair. Thank you again and have a wonderful holiday!

Monday Inspiration! I love your grey hair...I love my grey hair too!

Inspiring 🙌🏻🍑Lisa

Fourteen months since I started going gray, and I feel great!. I wouldn't be able to make it this far if it wasn't for you, you inspired me, you were my best companion in this project. I appreciate your vitality, your sense of beauty reinvented, and all the initiative you have to hold this community going. I am glad I found you. Happy Holidays Nikol.

Very uplifting Nikol. Thank you so much. You were my best find this year. I decided to go grey on my own then found you then the whole grey community. I’ve changed my eating/drinking habits, increased my exercise & lost weight. You’ve taught me lots of make up & clothing tips. I’m feeling the best i have in years & honestly you have been a large part of those changes. Please keep doing what your doing 💖

Love the way you said, “Add personality to your grey.” That gives me inspiration. Thank you 🙏

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for helping me with the “gray” adventure. ❤️

Perfectly said, roll on 2021, we will all rock our beautiful, snazzy, silver gray hair.

I clicked on your video as I had decided to go natural and wanted some advise and encouragement. What I got was so much more! I’m 61 and retired from Pharmacy in April of this year. Since then I have felt sort of lost, searching for a purpose and with COVID, totally floundering. With your encouragement and tutorials of practical advise, I finally remember a little of myself I thought I had lost. You are a wonderful motivational speaker and excellent teacher. I want to thank you for the inspiration you give me. You are beautiful inside and out!

You're so sweet. My hair is blonde and I have stopped highlighting for over three years. I still get the itch to add color but my stylist refuses to do it. She mentioned ladies every where pay to get this color. We are all so unique and your encouragement is very welcoming. We need that pat on the back that you provide. Happy New Year!

I loved this video. I am 82 years old. I have colored my dark hair for several years and haven’t colored it since last February because of COVID and also because of your encouraging videos. I’m finding that my gray has a lot of black in it. I’m liking what I see and wish I had never started coloring it. Of course the fading color on the ends look a bit red, but I’m staying strong and I don’t plan to color it anymore. Thanks for your help. You continue to help all of us.

Thank you! You've been my Inspiration for the past year and a half!

I’m on this journey and I really needed to see this video today.

Great video! This is SO helpful and probably perfect timing for me. I’m 39 and trying to embrace this journey right now. I feel exactly like what you said! I felt like I had tonnes of grey when I was dyeing my hair (my natural hair is almost black) but now I’m exactly 3 months into the journey today, and feeling rather awkward! I’ve got a more prominent side of greys but kinda not much else, some sparkle here and there! But I needed to hear this today, and you are right, I feel like I need to see this journey through even if I change my mind after! It’s been so long since I’ve seen my natural hair, I think I just owe it to myself to give my poor hair a good break from the dye! Love your videos Nikol ❤️❤️

I started my journey of going gray in 2021 and I’m not back - you are one of my inspiration.

You are awesome! I love you so much, you really motivate and encourage. 2021 is going to be amazing and people like you help us to embrace ourselves wherever we're at. I've fully and completely embraced myself and I'm diggin' it! Happy Holidays Nikol!

2 years ago, my hairstylist told me I had about 60% gray- I was shocked and in denial. I've been coloring my hair in some fashion since I was 16. Cut to age 61 and I had no idea what my natural hair color was! I decided to not color about a year ago so now I have about 6" of light ash brown tinged with silver streaks and I LOVE it. I just keep cutting my old dyed hair off and eventually it will all be natural and I'm never going back.

Makeup is now in my life more. I love your makeup tutorials. I was so done with my patchy, colored, dry horrible hair. I buzzed it. I love love love make up. Doesn't take a lot but just the perfect amount.

🧡Thank you for another wonderful year Nikol! Happy Holidays!🧡

I’ve never been into KZread until I found you. Discovering you in 2021 (brought on of course by the pandemic) has been my Godsend. I’ve looked so forward to each and every video. I also love your products. It may sound funny, but growing out my gray has made my 2021 better! I love the journey and love my gray? Angry Bob!!!!🤣

I agree! Positive outlook! I’m starting my journey so I’m a newbie. Looking forward to a change!!! Thank you for the encouragement!

I seriously love the style of your hair. Normally I dislike short hair on women but seriously this looks sooooo amazing I love love love it!!!

You lifted my spirits...I've decided to go grey and I'm at about 3 inches of outgrowth...ugh! Thank you for all the advice!

Hi Nikol, I decided to stop colouring my hair about 3 years ago, I knew I had some silver grey in there so I decided to give it a go. My hair is quite short, the person that gave me my inspiration was Beth Djalali. I also follow and watch her posts as well as yours and I know you've met Beth and done a makeover with her. Nikol its the best thing I ever did. My hair is a light silver grey and its in so much better condition now. So for all those ladies out there just go for it, I'm 61 so not old but people have even told me I look younger. Thank you for all your great advice regards Julie from England 🇬🇧 x❤

Nikol, This was so inspirational🙌🏻 I have been allowing my great SPARKLE since 2019. Embrace it ladies! There is nothing more classy than a women with confidence and grey hair. 🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care

Your haircut looks WONDERFUL!!!

I’m about 7 months into my gray hair journey and what amazes me is that most of my gray is underneath in the front. When I wear it down you can’t really see most of it. I never knew that because I colored it a lot. I always tell myself if I don’t like it I can just dye it. My 21 year old daughter gave me her blessing and that helped me get started !

Nikol that orange lip looks amazing on you😍 I agree that our hair is neutral pallette, I love me some color since I’ve turned gray!

Thank you for this surprise bonus video-you are one of my positives for 2020! Happy Holidays to you & your loved ones. Thank you for being such an inspiration! :)

I just want to say that you've inspired me to cut my hair. I've got a huge grey streak at the front of my hair and the rest has become so thin, that even though I've had a long bob, it has looked straggly. Today I went to the hairdresser and got a pixie cut. I've had some great comments from friends already. But more importantly Nikol, I love it! Thanks so much for all you do on your channel. xx

You're such an inspiration... and I just love your hair!!! I actually like your gray hair more than the black hair. It really make you look more youthful with the gray.

Ditched the dye at age 62. Never going back and I love my silver hair!

Nikol, you are beautiful and an inspiration! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for making this tips video! I'm dyed my natural brunette but have been white for many years... I'm wanting to do it but dread the demarcation line. I love your Bob!!! When I'm ready, I'll get my long layers chopped into a bob. I wore my hair in a bob for years. Loved it!

I would love to go gray! I think your hair is so gorgeous! I love all of your videos!💕

I jumped onto that bandwagon in 2020, partly because I’m tired of getting my hair colored every couple of months. The hair around my face has gone “platinum” so I thought I would see what would happen. I’m turning 72 and figure it’s time. When I was young, my Dad pegged my hair color as dirty dishwater blonde and it has stuck in my head. My stylist is helping me through this long process and, as you say, I can always go back if I don’t like it. But so far so good! I love your sweater (having moved from Florida to the north Georgia mountains). I enjoy your videos and appreciate the time you spend to encourage us! Blessings!

Love the rocker music 🎶! My chocolate bronze skin is my accessory to my greying hair.

I think it’s really cool thst you embrace grey hair for sure. It’s crazy because you have such a young looking face , you wouldn’t even think your in your age category if you did not have grey hair , you’re gorgeous🙂💜 when I’m your age you’re exactly what I want to look like!! Goals for sure !!

I transitioned to grey at about 38 and wore it that way till I was 45. I got bored and dyed it strawberry blonde and now I'm growing it out again.

Nan Greer Nikol, another marvelous message! Thanks for your wonderful Holiday Sale! I just ordered a whole lot! 2021 will be a gorgeous year for all of us.

I love your videos they have really helped me on my own gray journey. In February I had purple hair and decided to bleach it, a very bad mistake, it ruined my hair texture, it felt like straw no matter what I did. Then in June, I had a hair cut and dyed my hair in a silver-tone to blend into my natural hair color, then in July I decided to get a pixie cut to get rid of all the bleach and the dye, now it's slowly growing out into a bob and I'm loving the color of my natural gray hair.

Correct Nikol! I let it grow out for a year and found out I wasn’t as grey as i thought. I had 2 patches one in the front and one in the back, so I went back to coloring, for now anyway. I give it another go in a couple years. I did like the FREEDOM of not coloring.

I'm almost 43 weeks in and I love my hair! So much has grown back, particularly in the crown area.I haven't done a big chop; I'm dealing just fine with the demarcation line. I'm making all the money I'm saving our vacation fund (for when the pandemic is behind us). Happy New Year everyone.

I love this so much! I will be at one year of growth at the end of Feb and I'm so happy with my decision. I have noticed that my "new" hair is a different texture due to not putting it thru the constant chemical processing. It's been a learning curve figuring out how I want to style it (I did the big chop instead of the slow grow), but kinda fun cultivating my new look! Love the positivity Nikol!

Fantastic tips Nikol. I think I used many of them. I transitioned about 3 years ago now and I followed your gray hair journey which in turn helped me so much. I ended up having 4 different shades (who knew lol :)) I have white, silver, blond and brown. I've been asked how my hair dresser was able to give me so many highlights lol. You have been inspiring women to be themselves and embrace the journey. For me the journey was more important than where I landed with my hair. Thanks for all that you do. Happy holidays from Toronto.

So true.... and I'm rocking a salt and pepper pixie! People are loving it. Ya makeup really helps too. I'm looking forward to 2021

I love this. I’ve not dyed my hair since February and it is grown out about half way. I wear a short shag and am also a wig wearer due to losing my hair so it has been easy to let it grow out. I have much mire grey hair than I ever dreamed of. Ha ha. My wig is dark brown with auburn highlights though so keeps my pink skin a little warmer.

You look beautiful, fabulous hair and very pretty makeup. Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year 💐💐

Thank you Nikol, I was really feeling like its either all or nothing proposition but you gave some really good tips here on how to meet it half way or turn back if need be

My question is how do you figure out what color to do your eyebrows when going grey.

This was a fantastic video. And girl I was with you in 2015, growing out what turned out to be mouse-pelt gray hair. Still a lot of brown with my two white streaks at the temples. I thought I was gonna be a silver queen. I do dye my eyebrows about once a month. I’ve also let it be curly so ... double dose of frizz, but I’m educating myself. It’s really been a ball!

Fantastic video💜

Great video! I hope I’m as beautiful as Nikol’s mom when I’m in my 70’s! 😊🌻

I admire you! I just started following you as I'm letting my gray come out. I'm 58 years young and I'm very confident it will look as awesome as yours.... I'm looking forward to it! Lets get this beauty from Puerto Rico started :)

Thank you so very much. I found this video so very uplifting. I often feel like your mother does - beige and I have done nothing to liven up my face because I'm not going out anyways. It's depressing.

Best advice about my hair was my stylist saying that she thought I’d really be pleased if I went gray. Color just wasn’t holding on the gray so transition was easy. Now I get compliments on my hair, which I never did before.

I'm thinking of going for it. During the pandemic my white/gray has grown in ...a lot! When I finally make it to the shop I'm going to ask her for transitioning tips. And, oh yes,I love makeup so I'll be having hun with that also.

OMG what a beautiful shirt! I love my white hair but cut it as short as I could stand it then allowed it to come in as nature attended.

omg, seeing you and your husband together is so cute.

Would love to know your way of keeping so fit and slim, and yes your hair is goals🔥

Been thinking about going grey for a year now, I'm convinced now and you have inspired me so much. Thank you. Not looking forward to the transition period though 😟

Love your hair so gorgeous

Love you! Thanks again!

You look great on that lipstick, I have Gives me Life but with all this going on I haven’t worn it yet. ❤️

I have white, white hair, it was dirty blonde before (started going white at 17 years old). I eased into going full head white by gentle, hand dyed peroxide streaks. When all my head was white, people thought (and still think!) it’s peroxide ash, cold white! Love the idea of a black streak.

I enjoyed your video, I made my decision in june of 2021, when a few friends commented on my hair, and just noticed the difference in my hair color, I was upset because of the fact I was a beautiful auburn/red all of my life, just to much processing, auburn and red is hard. I am 68 and I now am on my journey , I have a beautiful crown of white hair with a demarcation line, of 3 inches, many colors showing up, my husband loves it when I pull it to a ponytail and calls it my fox tail. I have wanted to give in, but no go. I am now ready to go for the bob cut. He tells me if people can walk around with purple, green, yellow hair...... you got this, he tells me you earned that crown wear it well and with pride, ty for the video

I'm sixteen months into my transition. All the old dyed brunette is gone and one of the biggest changes I've noticed since not slathering and smothering my scalp with all-over color is all the new baby hairs that have sprouted along my hairline. My scalp can actually breathe again.

thank you so much, you are such an inspiration! and looking at your rock and roll style is so funny! like everybody else during the pandemic its been a year now since my last visit to the hair salon! going gray is dull! I look washed out! but, I am afraid of adding more colors except with my eyes, I use a lot of eyeliner, when wearing a mask but I never wear red lips, never!

thanks for this video.

I needed this video! It made me cry. My hair has always been my "identity," so I'm terrified to go gray and terrified to cut it. It just happens that I'm getting my hair cut today, and I've been torturing myself leading up to it. But I'm going to be courageous! By the way, I haven't dyed in over three months. I had no idea what color my hair really is, but I'm starting to see it now. Thank you for the inspiration, Nikol.

Same here.....my hair, I felt, was my identity. I always wore it long. I had been coloring for 20 years and stopped two years ago. I was kind of painful. I certainly didn't look like Nikol!! My hair was gray in the front and ashy with a little gray mixed in. It wasn't my old vibrant brown with some gray. It was something I never expected. It was a shock. But I feel so free not chasing that white (gray) line with hair color.

I quit coloring my hair in 2014. I had been ill and grew the roots out just because I was so sick. I was 61. The grey roots showed me I had a nice salt and pepper going. I got a super short pixie and that really helped. It felt great!! Short hair needs frequent cuts so I kept it very short until the old dye was gone which took about 7 or 8 months for me. I wished I had done it sooner. Actually I realized I should have never colored it. My hairdresser was great and she gave me tips. The best was to start using the Purple shampoo.

Thank you Nikol.

Thank you for all this information. Can you please do a video how to take care of gray hair and products to use. My gray hair are really frizzy and dry

You are born for the bob you have!!!

Your hair is so gorgeous. I love not having roots anymore but do sigh my gray was as nice and yours. The front of my hair is silvery white which I love but the back is that mousy brownish gray and always looks dull no mater what I use. I want silver hair.

I'm going to try and go grey but always change my mind. Maybe this will help me. Thanks for your support!!

I am one of the ladies at 56 who not only went grey, but found my curly waves. When I let my highlights grow out I did tone them to get them less bright blonde. I now see my hair after 30 years and hardly had any grey11 Now I want grey highlights!! LOL.. Adding makeup is a great idea but I have very sunken deep set eyes and I have trouble with eyeshadow. I would love you to do a tutorial for very deep set eyes. Right now I need to use derma-blend concealer to take away the blue..I get lots of shadows!!

I’ve started my transition to grey. So I have 2inch silver roots. They are sooo loud! I’m going cold turkey so I learn what colour my natural hair is. I’ve also asked my hairdresser to keep a note of my hair dye colour, just in case I hate it!

I love your length of hair. 😍💝☃️❄️

Beautiful hair🥰

Love my hair. Mine came in mostly white. I have dark gray/silver hair lights put in. I think the key is a stylish/cutting edge haircut. I get so many compliments on my hair. It has given me more confidence. I think if you do it right, you actually look younger. Nothing is more aging on a woman than coloring your hair dark. In most cases it emphasizes your wrinkles and screams that you are trying too hard. I was a brunette who initially went blond when the gray came in. It was a bad choice. I felt uncomfortable in my skin and it showed. My other tip is to bite the bullet and cut it as short as you can when you decide to transition.

Angry Bob was hilarious!!😁

Merry Christmas from OZ. Great video, I'm transitioning to Grey. Went to Salon for grey Foils to blend into my hair ... ended up brassy Blonde (Yuk). So this New Year, I.m black, grey, blonde !! Lucky it's not Covid. A Healthy New Year to ALL.

I have two questions please 1 I use keratin ( i will not do now )but could I go back? And 2 I don’t wear makeup everyday ( yours is amazing) when I do it’s eyeliner thin and massage no face creams or anything. I’ve been pretty blessed with even skin tone. How do I wear lipstick if I never did

Ty!!
