Gray Hair Transition and Beyond
Gray Hair Transition and Beyond
My story:
I started my Gray Hair journey September 2018 when I was 41 years old. I just celebrated 5 years of being dye free and have no regrets.
I am hoping my Transition story, photos, advice, and tips will help keep you motivated to stick with it and will help make your transition to gray hair and beyond easier and much more enjoyable-it is a bit of a journey but worth it.

もう全体的に白髪だね😊
全体的に白いね😊
Looks beautiful. Your hair is soft not course what products did you use a special conditioner❤️
thank you so much! Just a comment: if you have thin straight hair DO NOT use coconut oil or any oil, lotion or lip balm. I tried those tricks and just using a tiny amount made my hair look greasy!!
What potentcy is the HP?
She is using 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, like what you use to clean wounds with (from pharmacy), in terms of hair coloring, that is equal to 10 VOLUMN peroxide developer. When using bottled hair colors, most of them use 20 VOLUMN peroxide. So this is mild and will just gradually lift hair color. And she is diluting that down with water & conditioner, so it's even weaker (probably 5 VOLUMN). NOTE: If SPRAYING this, USE EYE PROTECTION, and protect hands, USE GLOVES.
@NikkiM6593 I'm still going through the process but it gets easier and easier as you go. I still have about four inches of old color but I use blue shampoo at least once every 2 weeks and it's really tamed the reddish color from my old dye. I'm a natural brunette and it's interesting to see the graying process on the natural hair that has grown out this far. I have different shades of gray and I'm actually liking it now. I'm glad I stuck it out. I think I have about 6 more months and I'll be completely grown out. I will say as my hair is growing out I have noticed changes to my hair texture. The gray hair is still soft and touchable but looks coarser. I'm still learning as I go.
My plan is to keep layering my wavy hair to speed the grow out process along without cutting everything short.
Personally I prefer the golden look, alot better than grey. Same color when I was a child. 60 yrs ago.
But it doesn't look like blonde, it looks like medication. Gray or white can be gorgeous.
Nice tip
I just used this for my bleached and toned balayage… DO NOT LEAVE ON LONGER THAN 5-10 minutes. OTHERWISE YOUR POROUS HAIR WILL TAKE ON THE PURPLE HUE…. Yeah i panicked but what worked getting it immediately put was Dawn Dish soap and baking soda paste. I had no clarifying shampoo to help strip the color at home. So i made a paste with the dawn with baking soda to create a paste that was not runny. I lathered that into my hair and lathered over and over again applying a squirt of dawn (blue one) every now and then and it came out! So use it and leave in for several minutes. Natural blondes (10) bleached blonde (5) min.
is this better then the hydrogen peroxide? or should i do both? how many times a week?
Great review. You are gorgeous.
I’m not sure your hair lots good.
I love your hair with gray. ❤❤❤
Beautiful hair, woman. Ty.😊
Love this product !...I use it when it is needed
What if u want.ur hair LESS white?
If you smoke, the nicotine will stain it as well. I don't know if that's why my hair is blonde now or if it's just fading to silver from a red/gold brunet but I do know that my hair is super shiny and not dull at all and I always get complements on it. At age 63 I wouldn't mind if it all went silver or white as I think it would look great as long as it is (past my waist.)
I'm going to try this for sure. OH YEAH! Here's another tip for using vinegar (white or apple cider) use it in place of fabric softener. It too will smell until the clothes are dry but it removes residues from the detergent and softens the clothing as well as brightening them. I had to do this due to sensitive skin and breakouts of rash from using softeners.
I must admit I loved the long hair! I think that length is really stunning on over 40 women. Will you go long again?
Tried this today and last night for my shoulder length grown out silver hair. Part of my hair is a brownish gray. Both treatments yielded poor results unfortunately! Barely showed up at all. Second treatment was peroxide and purple shampoo for 35 minutes. I must have stubborn hair! I will try again in a week to see if it will begin to lift. I love my front bangs, nice and light. But I have other tones I dont love. Its still so much better than chasing the grey line! I love being mostly silver.
I wish I had seen this channel when I was transitioning almost 4 years ago. Better late than never. My silver hair was so nice when I was first growing out but lately it’s become really dry and looks crazy all the time.
What kind shampoos do u use it . Instead of all the talking
Wow nice I have to try this on my silver hair. Thank you. What type of conditioner did you use.
I think i saw Tresseme on bottle.
I had beautiful grey silver hair until I used this product. It totally ruined my hair. It turn the ends of my hair a weird color and I got a perm two weeks later now about 3 in of the ends are light brown it's awful don't use it😭
It washes right out so I don’t understand what happened to you. Getting a perm is probably what messed up your hair. IT could not have messed up your hair as you describe. What color did you use?
What ingredients are we looking for?
How many applications did it take to remove the yellow rusty colour?
I apply my mix using a root comb from eBay or Amazon comb it from the roots down the hair shaft. Less wasteful than in a jug.
It's recommended to spray the vinegar on while your conditioner is on your hair, then rinse all out.
Yesss I do this. It's a game changer
Purple shampoo and masks are damaging to my hair. These products dry my hair out and cause a large amount of hair fall out. I have curly wavy hair and it tends to frizz from purple products. I saw this video and decided to give it a try. I have more salt and pepper hair and want my silver to really stand out. After one rinse I saw a significant improvement! I also followed the directions provided (leave on for two minutes). My hair came out shiny manageable, and the curls look fantastic with no frizz. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Wh1t do you mean by hair spray, is it hair fixer?
Thank you.
Can it cause an allergic reaction
Thank you
My condolences 😔 Cliff ❤
I have noticed a lot of new growth since I quit coloring my roots. It has been 6 weeks : )
Is the Apple cider technique or the hydrogen peroxide technique that you recommended better..want to try one of your suggestions
Hi Karen! Great Question! I am speaking from my own experience but I think the peroxide treatment works better to get rid of hard to remove yellow/staining. If you're trying to get rid of yellow, that's the one to use, imo. BUT the ACV rinse has so many great benefits that the peroxide treatment doesn't offer so if you are trying to brighten dull hair or hair that is slightly yellowing along with all the benefits I talked about in the video (clarify, tame frizz/smooth hair, add shine and volume, etc.), this would be the treatment to use.
Helpful info. Thank you.
Thank you for watching! ❤️
For yellow in grey hair. I see you recommend 2 recipes 1. Hydrogen peroxide And 2. Apple cider vinegar Which of the 2 do you recommend. With thanks
Hi Karen! I answered your question in the other post but will share here in case you don’t see it. I am speaking from my own experience but I believe the peroxide treatment works better to get rid of hard to remove yellow/staining. If you're trying to get rid of yellow that you haven’t been able to get rid of, that's the one to use, imo. BUT the ACV rinse has so many great benefits that the peroxide treatment doesn't offer so if you are trying to brighten dull hair or hair that is slightly yellow, along with all the benefits I talked about in the video (clarify, tame frizz/smooth hair, add shine and volume, etc.), this would be the treatment to use.
@@GrayHairTransitionandBeyond thank you..really appreciate your response
Does it work on brunettes who are graying?
Yes it does. I have a lot of dark brown hair under the white (most of it is near the nape of my neck) and it whitens my white hair and not the dark hair. Please make sure it’s the 3% peroxide-anything stronger could lighten your dark hair along with damaging your hair and scalp.
@@GrayHairTransitionandBeyond Thank you so much for your prompt and detailed response.
I'm excited to try this tomorrow. I hope it works with a ponytail/bun because whenever I pull my hair back, not only do I have a bunch of random flyaways, but I've got a little patch up front that sticks up like a mad scientist. Thank you! 👍
I have a patch like that so I understand! I hope this helps you like it helped me!
Thank you for this, last night i kept looking at my hair thinking it looked really yellow. I am going to try this
Let me know how it went!!
It worked in one try, thank you soooooo much 💕
I am so glad it helped!!!! ❤️
You have such beautiful gray hair.
Thank you so much ❤️
You should do your skincare routine! It’s beautiful!!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! You brightened up my day! I will definitely share my skincare routine in the near future! ❤️
Thank you for this review! I love your channel & really enjoy your content. I feel there is not a lot of information available when it comes to caring for gray/silver hair & your content is very helpful. I am desperate for information on caring for my extremely fine, Caucasian, semi straight naturally gray hair. A lot of the info I find seems to assume everybody with gray hair has coarse, wavy / curly hair. More gray haired ladies need to speak up & help out their fellow silver sisters! Thank you again!
Thank you so much! I am so glad my videos have been helpful!
What about WHITE vinegar?
Hello Patricia! Yes, you can use white vinegar. The reason I like to use Apple Cider Vinegar is because it has more vitamins and nutrients which is very nourishing for your hair while white vinegar doesn't provide that extra benefit. White vinegar is also a lot more harsh than apple cider vinegar so you will need to properly dilute it with more water (than what is used to dilute the acv).
What shampoo do you use?
Hi! I alternate (because I like both and can't choose just one) between Pantenes Sulfate Free Miracle Moisture boost shampoo and Conditioner or Pantene’s Sulfate Free hydrating glow Shampoo and Conditioner.
