My hair color is black, and the silver horizon was stark. I wanted to ditch the dye in my 50s but didn't start until 60. I bought fun silver wigs so I could get used to seeing myself with silver hair. I knew it would not work unless I loved my image in the mirror. I got So many compliments! Five years later I still get compliments everytime I leave the house. I mean it. I never got so many compliments in my life. I love it and wouldn't think of dyeing my hair again

Totally agree. I think its so much easier now that silver is actually a desirable color choice, so much that young women are even choosing it. Sometimes i wish i had more silver, I'd totally give it a shot. Unfortunately i don't think I have enough salt in my pepper yet for the look I want. Lol. Maybe someday @@nikkiturnup1688

I was fed up with coloring my roots so I just went cold turkey, I was tempted to shave it off but I opted to cut it really short instead, my hair is long now & I’ve totally embraced my gray, it looks more natural for a woman my age than the stark dark brown plus it’s a lot healthier. Your hair is beautiful.

I started my growout at age 55, 2 years ago this November. It took me about 18 months total with 3 very expensive blending sessions from dark brown. I fried my hair. I was impatient and I work professionally, so I felt like I had to try to look better theough the process. Took months and months and going shoulder length to get my hair to feel normal again. Not to mention the cost of each salon visit. Past it all now, so hindsight is 20/20. Your hair is beautiful.

Last time I highlighted my hair March 2023. I spoken with my hairdresser I wanted to go gray. She gave me a negative comments. In 3 months I return. I told her I was serious about going gray. Now I am using the dye strips like every 6 months. Getting a haircut as normal. It's make me love my gray. I can't wait for all the gray to come on out. So I can see what I will look like. I use purple shampoo and conditioner once a week. My hair is thicker, softer, and no frizzy. She is right choose your method. Not to long ago I wouldn't look in the mirror now I look every time I get a chance. See the new gray

I use Overtone’s extreme silver on my salt and pepper hair and I’ve never had an issue with it not washing out. I love my gray, but I miss the contrast of dark hair against my fair complexion. The extreme silver gives me just enough depth so there’s more contrast without looking fake. On my hair , it does give a slight purple cast in some lighting, but I like that. I’ve also mixed Overtone colors for fun in the past and have never had a problem with it not washing out. But everyone’s hair is different, so test strands are the way to go!

When I stared to go gray I fist starting dying my hair blonde with highlights to “hide “ the gray. When that started not to work I stared to dye my hair gray. Since my sister is a hairstylist it was easier for me . I’ve been a silver sister for years now with long curly silver hair. I get more compliments on my hair since I went silver then I ever did as a brunette (naturally) or a blonde. Best decision I ever made! Actually, my husband is the one who encouraged me to go gray!

Made my silvers sparkle, toned down the brasiness, and overall made my whole look more congruent! I recommend! I plan on leaving it on for a bit longer next time.

Incredible!! Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to hear how long it lasts!

I keep hearing about Overone, but there are MANY more affordable options. For those who want the Overtone results without the cost, I recommend semipermanent colrs like the ones the kids use to dye their hair pink or purple. I use the Adore line, which costs about $6 a bottle and is available in most beauty supply stores or Amazon. Cuurently I use Mystic Gray, which is a dark silver color that helps blend my colors, makes my gray sparkle, and makes my hair soft and shiny. Adore is amazing. I used Adore dyes even when I regularly colored my hair, to brighten colors and make my hair shine. It's like a color gloss and toner all in one. BTW it also comes in Platinum and Titanium, which are lighter grays. Strongly recommended.

Back then, I would use a demipermanent or permanent on the roots and use semipermanent colors for tone/shine. Adore also makes a clear, no-color version if you just want to add shine and softness with no color. Note: Don't know if this matters to you, but I just found out Adore is not a vegan formula. May switch to Arctic Fox or Lime Crime, which are similar products.

Welcome!!

I’ve been dying my hair since I was 28, going grey early is hereditary in my family. I decided to stop colouring my hair during the lockdown for the pandemic. It wasn’t hard for me to do at all, I just stopped & never thought about what the repercussions could be! I have a very thick skin anyway & didn’t care what people thought or said to my face! I lost my husband & mother in the same year when our only child was 4 years old. It’s made me tougher as well as not caring about myself any more. I don’t care what I look like because I never want to be with anyone else! I concentrated on bringing up my son the best I could on my own as I had no other family alive & my husband’s family dropped both my son & I literally after a couple of months after my husband’s funeral. My son, if ever hardly sees his dad’s family. He’s extremely lucky if he gets a Christmas or birthday card! Anyway, I digress! I now have completely natural salt, pepper & white waist length hair. My son recently started at a new school & I was invited to go along to his year’s revising encouragement evening. We got ready & drove over to his school. When we pulled up outside his school he told me he didn’t want me to go in because I looked too old to be his mum compared to his friend’s mums! I was absolutely gobsmacked, I wanted to die instantly on the spot because the pain in my heart was unbearable! I managed to utter an “ok" & he got out. As soon as he had shut the car door tears welled up in my eyes but I forced myself not to cry! I was so shocked & hurt by what my son had said but also incredibly angry, how I didn’t scream at the top of my voice, I’ll never know! Moments later my son got back into the car & ushered me to go. I drove off at warp speed & all the way home! I was so angry, I wanted to slap him but I didn’t & instead drove like an absolute idiot & way above the speed limit! I hated the way he made me feel & the fact I could have killed us both or even worse someone else! The next day I went out & bought some hair dye. When my son came home from school & saw the hair dye his eyes light up. It’s been over a month now since I bought the hair dye & it’s still sitting on the side. My son hasn’t said a word to me about it but everyday he looks at the boxes of hair dye. I now absolutely hate my hair & myself & feel very conscious of how old I look! I don’t want to start dying my hair again, it’s just too much bother & to be honest I don’t really have the funds to keep dying it every 2 weeks! Your “grey hair" looks like it’s only on one side & at the front by the video. It’s looks absolutely gorgeous! I have more white then grey at the front but the rest of it is salt & pepper & it’s all over my head. I’m wondering if I should dye my hair a metallic silver like those gorgeous girls advertise in the tv commercials! Maybe if my hair was a “funky"colour my son wouldn’t feel embarrassed of me!?

My mom's hair went silver before she was 30. She had me when she was 42. As a 6 yr old, I became terrified that my parents were going to die any moment, as their hair was silver, and my friends' parents' hair was brown, blonde, etc. Perhaps coloring your hair for your son's sake wouldn't be such a bad thing? My parents were known as wonderful people, and my mom's beautiful silver hair was admired, everywhere she went. Maybe explain to your son that some younger people get grey hair, and for others, they don't get grey hair until they are much older. Not an easy decision. I just saw a product called glosser, which makes grey hair shiny and more manageable. On the flip side, I do color my hair, but I use permanent color. You should not have to be dying your hair every two weeks. My shades of grey do not look good with my skin tone, so I look washed out. I'm thinking of stopping coloring my hair, but I'll have to do something due to this argument between the grey and my skin tone. I didn't get my mom's beautiful silver, lol. PS Maybe talk with your son, letting him know you are not angry with him. He's just a kid, and was telling you how he feels and why, not a very easy thing to do sometimes, but so very important that he continues to do so. Maybe this would help you decide. My husband passed away six years ago. We didn't have any children. It is difficult, to say the least. Best Wishes to you and your son!

I hope you have not yet dyed your hair. It takes years to grow out gray hair to long again. Instead, discuss it with your son. You do not need your son’s approval, AND (more importantly) he doesn’t need his friend’s approval of his mother’s hair. It’s a teaching moment. 1) My best friend in elementary school had 5 older siblings, and her mom was short and plump with long, stark-white hair, pale skin and piercing blue eyes. When other kids said snide remarks about her “old” mother, she said calmly her mother might be older, but she is smart and she is kind and always there for me-what about yours? Or she’d say, “And?” Sarah was by far the most self-assured kid in our class. 2) My sister’s hair grayed prematurely and she had her daughter at 40. She rocks her long gray hair, flaunts it even. No apologies. Her confidence gives her child the confident example that who she is as she is just fine.

Maybe go to a stylist for an updated cut? Chop some length. It may not be the grey so much as you let yourself go, and you look, and act, old in other ways. Start caring about your appearance and presentation, wear different clothing, etc. He felt safe and loved enough to tell you how he feels, so it's your turn to honor his feelings. Sometimes the truth hurts. Imagine how hard it was for him to tell you that. It'll do you some good to become fashionable again. Maybe drop a pound or 2, etc. You'll both benefit ❤

The dye strip technique is great for one length hair, but I've got curly, layered hair. But I love the purple conditioner and the overtone idea

Im very excited to let my grey come in

The biggest mistake I made was going the highlights route. I have dyed my hair black for years and I have natural salt and pepper now with nearly white around my hairline. I thought by adding highlights over time I'd be able to achieve lightening my hair enough to dye it silver like the famous Jack Martin style. However after four years and two different colorists and thousands of dollars and hours of time I am chasing my tail. The colorists both continued to dye my new growth a level 6 and undoing the entire process. Now I have a calico cats hair. Salt and pepper roots and brassy highlights. I think highlights are probably the worst thing you can do unless you are already light or have Jack Martin money to do it one step.

I used to dye my dark brown hair blond when I started to go grey, it was easier to cover the grey, I did this for years. And then I just had enough and stopped. No one noticed because my natural hair was so light when it grew in. I then cut it short and everyone was amazed that I went grey/white overnight.

Just stumbled upon your video and am glad I did! I have naturally curly, dryish hair. Not kinky curls, more like loose ringlets currently just about shoulder length. I've been coloring my hair for 10+ years primarily because I am vain. I had 3 children late in life (I had my youngest of 6 when I was 46 years old) and I didn't want to look like their grandmother! Now at 67, I've decided I don't want to put chemicals on my scalp anymore. My last dye job was from a box about 2 months ago, so I am well in to the "grey roots showing" phase. My thought was I would basically shave my head and start from scratch, but it's winter . . . Brrrrr! 😊 May try your Overtone trick to see how that works. Or maybe I'll get a wig!❤😂😂

That was the last time I dyed it. The contrast looked great, and the staggered transition looked very natural as it grew out.

If you're trying to cancel orange, the vibrant or extremen silver works very well

My roots are coming in white to dark silver. I’ve been using permanent hair color for years but lately have tried Demi permanent color. Will the toner work on my hair?

How are you liking the demi - I'm thinking of going that route but I heard it doesn't really wash all out, and it's more of a way to soften the demarcation line. I am thinking of demi for the strip method to make it easier to grow out the strip, and when I flip, go to the color depositing conditioner.

The only thing about the strip is that when you flip it , it won’t be your favorite part in your hair ? Has anyone done this

I recommend living the shade closest to your oncoming new growth and only using g it on the dyed ends!

I went cold turkey just stopped coloring 🎉

That's awesome. I tried by the brassiness was just too much for me!

Is the overgrown for grays silvers or brass ends that are growing out?

I used it to tone the brassy ends!

So, to understand, the gray toner turns your brassiness gray?

Yes it does. It just doesn't last long so you have to keep doing it until you're grown out or use blue shampoo or overtone

Ive been using silver hair mud to cover the brassy hair. I thought the overtone site said it won't work in this way? but maybe I'll look again.

She talks about basically nothing for most of video with very little actual information until the end. I searched for specific technique. I didn't need 20 minutes of affirmations.

You keep repeating yourself just using different words.

Scary eyes 👀

Get to the point please

Bla bla bla. Buzzcut! End of story.

I colored my hair last almost a year ago. It’s shocking how slow your hair grows🫣 It’s a daunting process and I’ve wanted to give up many times. Going to a hairdresser to cut your colored, damaged ends is torture. They discourage you (most do!). People have made comments, I’m too young to go silver (43 yo)… it’s an act of rebellion but I keep looking at the positives: not having to dye my hair hair every 3-4 weeks, the expense and time, all the damage it goes and the continuous search for ways to curb the damage you’re doing to your hair. Totally counterproductive. So I decided to just accept and let it be. :)

I am strongly considering ditching the dye for exactly all the reasons you mentioned. But yes, funny how hair seems to grow so quickly when we are trying to hide the roots!

Yes!! It’s a mind game I think… I hope you’re happy with whatever you decide to do but if you choose to quit coloring you’ll have to go through “growing pains” 🤣🤣🤣 Best of luck🩶🤍

Are you reciting a poem or reading a poem? Either way you look both. LOL😂
