    Aging is a privilege denied too many. I am proud and honored to still be here after being diagnosed with a terminal disease and overcoming that prognosis. Gray hair is my tinsel and scars are my battle reminders. I am strong. I am worthy. I am alive.

    I started to turn gray very young and colored my hair from age 28-44. My coworkers were so negative towards me when I started to grow it out. It really is a power move that bucks the system. I am 6 years into my gray journey and I am so glad I stepped off the hair dye merry go round. I think my old co workers felt threatened when they saw that I was bucking the system that they felt trapped in. Baby I am liberated!

    Letting my gray grow out after 30 years of chemical coverups was freeing and empowering. You are so right, Nikol - it is about attitude. I had wanted to stop coloring for years but my husband had said he wasn’t “ready” to see me in gray hair. I finally spoke up and said, “I promise it won’t be your Grandma’s gray hair”! And grew it out over the fall & winter when I was 58 years old. Caps, berets and root powder kept me curious about my results for 6+ months. I knew there was plenty of white under there as I had discovered my first grays in my late teens. I felt like a kid anticipating Christmas morning! I went for my pixie chop and have never looked back. I care more about my makeup and personal style now then I ever did, because my attitude is: I’m a platinum lady of great value”. My gray says “confident”, not “old”. On my way home from the first cut, I stopped at the grocery store and a man I had never seen, stopped me and said “Your hair is beautiful” God bless him! I get more positive comments about my hair now - no one ever noticed the brunette with highlights that cost me soooooo much $$$$!

    Your right Nikol. My girlfriends would say to me why I was not dying my hair. They would say you look old. But when we would go out I was always had men talk to me and with that is said my girlfriends just stop asking me to go out with them. I stopped dying my hair at the age of 45 I’m 72 now. My husband and other men always say to me that I have the most beautiful hair. And that makes me feel beautiful. Thank you Nikol you are beautiful.

    Thanks for reminding me it is a power move... Just had an idiot spit venom at me and tell me he knows the reason my ex-husband left me and that no one wants to be near me. I am crying to hear this and remember how brave it is just to be me. At 38, I embarked on the grey journey from long long dark hair past my breasts to a very short grey pixie cut. In one fell swoop, the transition was complete and I donated my hair to a children's charity that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair. 💖

Pop on the lipped, nice earrings and colourful top and own it. Your single, have a kick ass hairstyle and a great heart. And now you have a talking point.....why did you cut it and who did you help.

    @@sharongannon2640 Thanks for the vote of confidence, Sharon! I cut it because I didn't want to wait for my hair to grow out with the demarcation line for years. I instead decided to just start out anew with a pixie cut and fully grey from day 1. I am not sure who I helped by my going grey other than the children at the charity, but it has certainly been a talking point amongst many friends and peers and I know some people who have also taken the plunge to go grey since. I think the person I helped the most is me. It feels great to be completely unapologetically natural and liberating not to have to cover it up with dye every three weeks and thereby ruining my hair. 💖

Proverbs 16:3, meaning that if you been pleasing God up to the point that you are grey headed, you lived a long life of righteousness, so God sees your grey hair as a crown!! Something to think on!!

    Haven't dyed my hair since March. Your videos were the first that I found when I needed support. I'm more salt and pepper, not solid grey. I have my days where I'm self conscious, but I am happy that I am sticking to it. A friend said I could get grey highlights to blend the old dye, but I told her that I need to go through this process, it's bigger than hair. Thank you, Nikol. 🤍

    I cut my hair short and love it. The grey come through easily after 8 months of trims - lockdown helped. Then I had a wobble and bleached it myself! Those toxic thoughts....you look old, you look like your mum, you have given in ...they got me! Now after the hairdresser got me blonde and repaired the chicken little look I gave myself I am letting the grey come through again. You are always my go to person when I need a boost, you express the vulnerabilities we all share. Thank you

    I fully agree. I am 52. I’ve had gray hair since I was 27 and have colored it since. With the pandemic I dyed it in February 2020 and during lockdown the gray started showing of course and I actually liked the color! With your videos I got inspired and took the plunge. By July 2020 I was almost all gray, of course I always have it short. As you say men come up to me and just compliment me. A few of my women friends have told me, very lovingly to dye it red again but I won’t. I just love my gray! Thank you for being an inspiration

    Thank you so much Nikol. Your videos are more than helpful. This video in particular is one I will refer to often while I’m on this journey. I haven’t dyed my hair since February. When the salons closed due to Covid I kept going with the gray. Had my first “negative” comment the other day from my MIL who says....”but you had such beautiful dark colored hair!” I really do understand why other women question the choice. But I understand more that it is MY choice and I really do feel empowered.

    Thank you for all this positive information. I used to color my hair, highlight it, every thing to cover my silver-grey. About four years ago I got tired of spending so much time at the salon, not to mention the cost. Decided to let everything go and embrace the change. I LOVE it, I LOVE the silver-grey and do everything to show it off. The streaks of silver-grey are beautiful. It’s been a journey to experiment with different makeup shades, eye shadows, blush and lipsticks. My journey has been beautiful and fun. Thank you for sharing yours 💜💜

It's coming in kind of a dark ashy shade with blondish streaks (I'm a natural redhead). So happy to finally have my authentic hair color coming back again after decades of coloring. I also love the long transition time, gives me a chance to really get used to it.

    Gwen you can get tbrough it! It is so worth it. I really had a hard time at first because of the roots. I felt I looked like one of those women who let their roots grow out 4-5 inches before recoloring. Where's the mystery in that?!?!lol. Now I have women approach me all the time to ask about it and tell me how they love my hair!!! The condition of my hair keep getting better from NOT coloring it, gone are broken ends and post shampoo snarliness. Gone the monthly expense of salon coloring! It just keep getting better and better!

    I love your message! Being a woman is such an honor, in my opinion. When I decided I was finished with the monthly ritual of coloring 'my roots' that is when I literally reclaimed my inner strength. It sounds a bit odd, I know, yet it is true. The hairstylist I had been going to for upward of 15yrs was not supportive, so I found a new one. I learned a lot about myself thru the transition and made the best of the opportunity. It was so liberating! I can honestly say that I think my natural hair is the prettiest, the most healthy it has ever been. It's vibrant, soft, and has so much natural body. I actually use less product these days.

    I also started going grey in my early 30’s. Actually I had some greys even in high school, but not so many to notice much. I’ve been salt and pepper since my 30’s, and now in my 40’s it’s more salt than pepper. I have never died my hair. I just let it be natural. It bothered me at first, and I complained to my husband that my natural color is dark brown. He responded that dark brown is no longer natural for me. Well, he’s right. His comment really hit home, so I never died my hair. My grey hair is me and now I actually like it. I have had many hairdressers compliment me because my hair is similar to the lady in the video, only short. My grey and brown is evenly distributed and hairdressers say it’s pretty.

    If she had that bland yellowish blond hair color that so many women think is making them look younger, she would look much less stunning. That color doesn’t fool anyone. It simply shouts “I have the delusion that ‘blond’ dyed hair is making you think this is my natural color.”
