Love your hair

I’m new to the grow out! 3 months so far. Not hating it yet. I’m trying to just go cold turkey and trim my hair often. Lately I have been noticing how awful roots look on everyone! I’m done. I’m not going to be a slave to coloring my hair every 4 weeks. I used Demi permanent color so I’m hoping it will fade over time and help with the pain of the grow out

How about putting gray to cover white hair for an aging lady? Gray roots better than white? Like a highlight. Hair growing in 100 white

I search on KZbin bc I’m 9 months in and really struggling feeling old looking and going grey when I still have kids in high school, but this video is encouraging me to hang in there. I hope I do.

Fyi: Dye strip technique only works on straight hair

Congrats 🎉 you inspire me 😊

The dye-strip technique sounds good to me!

Helpful, thx

❤ beautiful shold keep it that length really suits you

And when I wash my hair see my fully grays again. In my case blending my roots only with temporary brow products give my grays a some highlighted effects

Hi Im going natural at 52 and discovered something would like to share with you and community. Check my video about my hair routine. Im using brow products to shadow my graying roots

I’m 4 months in & think I may go get grey blending done. I have very salt & pepper hair. I just want it to look a bit more uniformed.

I rather go gray than go bald 😭

I am going to strip the color out, then use a grey dye to help with grow out.

I can relate to every word you said. Thank you for this video. I wish people who truly needed to hear this stuff watched these videos instead of people like us who took the hit from all the nasty weight/body comments. I have polyps throughout my GI tract which caused me problems for years before I finally caved and went to see a doctor. By that time some of them were big enough to cause hours long excruciating pain and unbearable nausea due to partial or almost full blockage and what they call intussusception which is basically small or large bowel folding in on itself. I had multiple emergency endoscopies and colonoscopies and eventually an open surgery to reverse the blockages and there were times I couldn’t even drink water for weeks on end. And you know what I’ve heard from people around me? YOU LOST WEIGHT, YOU LOOK GREAT!!!! This is unacceptable behavior. Obsession with other people’s weight and body is beyond infuriating to me.

I’m at this point now. Started noticing a lot of grays at 24. I’ve been dying since I was 16. In the last decade, I moved from box dyes to henna because the regular dye burned my scalp more each time. I thought about growing out my grays about 5 years ago, but decided against it because the henna was such a pretty color, but now, I’m sick of the process and seeing the roots within a week of dying.

The hair looks so pretty ✨

I love that you're promoting positive vibes and gently calling out the self righteous and naysayers. I think society put us here, with the forever emphasis on what someone determined beauty is, especially women in the work force and in competition for jobs. My boss announced she was going to go gray and then never did. So I know it's a struggle. I grew up with waist long thick black hair and now finally transitioning gray. I think long hair compounds the struggle but don't want to cut my hair off. So I'm going gray slowly and it doesn't look very promising right now. And I know if I lose my job, I'll not get hired again. Maybe I'll try the strip technique except with a narrower strip than recommended, ie 1 x 6 instead of 2 x 6. Best wishes everyone out there

I got lucky and just did "face framing" highlights forever. So the back was natural and even went salt and pepper, tho I didn't 'notice. A hair dresser told me once, "we should warm up the back". Now I'm just toning the face framing highlights to match the salt and pepper.

Sweetie u dont look old enough to have grey hair❤

I am soo sorry that I used to color my hair especially at such a young age when I was a teenager, when my hair would turn from brown/black to red in the summer time.

I am 28 and having my first gray spawn of hairs !!! Im deciding to never die my hair ever again in my life and let it grow out from the verry fist strands ❤ Gray is like a funky blonde kinda vibe and I'm here for it

I admire your corauge❤ you are so beautiful. And one tip that worked for me is to remeber that ... nobody cares about you 😂 just be happy... everybody is thinking in their own problems soo... 😅😊

I tried before, twice, but I caved. Now I wanna try again, the one thing I am super curious about is what does my natural gray pattern looks like.

Wow! You look amazing!! I went gray in my 30's and then started dying again. Now I am going gray again, it just looks so much better than those strange colors.

Great video...thank you for the inspiration.

I stopped dying my hair in my mid 20s. I’ll be 34 and embrace my natural grey highlights. Never going back to dying it.

Possibly some people choose to do maintenance with using a purple shampoo and conditioner or something along those lines, but gray hair can absolutely be maintenance free and takes very little maintenance if you choose to do any at all. In fact, why go "natural" if you're going to worry about it in it's natural state? Trying to keep gray perfectly gray is not "natural". I wash and condition mine like I always have. That's it. I've been gray for almost 10 years now and I have had some yellowing over the years, but I just embraced it. I go out in the sun. I swim in chlorine. I do everything I have always done stress free. I have had more compliments than ever on my hair, even when it is yellowed. The oldest hair you have can become more yellow if you have very long hair. A solution for that may be to just to keep it trimmed, wear it shorter, or to use a fun color on the ends before they get cut away.

my mom has this and i always thought I'm going to be good. now that I'm 30 i recently shaved my head and most of my hair is growing back gray and i have a bunch of grey hairs in my mustache. i think i will be dying it if my greys hairs get worse as im a dude that has always had long hair.

I thinkyou are a very level headed young lady and I fully agree with you!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!

STUNNING!

Congratulations on your sane, brave decision to go gray.

You are very motivational and gorgeous! Thank you xo 6 weeks in at 41 ❤

You look younger now than before with the dyed hair!

Thank you so much for the strip technique. I’m about to be flight attendendent and At some point I will definitely do it. ❤😂

When my light brown hair grew out, it turned out to be salt and pepper! I waited until I retired to fully embrace my ‘polar blond’ but am glad I did.

Yes, the lady said « what I wish I had known » but the title said »what I wish I knew »: this doesn’t make sense. However , I do realize that Americans don’t use the past perfect tense very often (if they know what it is).

It's taken me 2 years...But i am loving it now...

You are beautiful inside and out! I am just starting my gray hair journey and luckily you are the first video I found on the topic. I’m so thankful because it completely put me at ease. You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your journey!

Your honesty and transparency is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I can appreciate that if you are still working in a corporate environment it is more difficult to let your hair grow out grey. I have been going through the process for over a year and only have until the end of the year to completion. Phew! Several women younger than me who have gone grey warned me to watch out for yellowing. A purple shampoo or conditioner fixes that, and they are not necessarily expensive. Don't be put off by your new grey hair not looking all that great to begin with as there's help for that. Coloring has made your hair look thicker. I strongly recommend a daily biotin supplement to keep new hair growth in top condition. This will also make your nails grow faster, you will be quite amazed to see your nails grow. It's not expensive, I buy biotin tablets in bottles of 365, one for each day of the year. I use biotin shampoo and conditioner. Hope that helps!

Very beautiful hair!!

You look wonderful! Maybe I will to after giving up my hair dying habit. I am 69 so it will be a big surprise. Wish me luck!

I found my first grey hairs today at 29 and by the amount I am thinking they have been here for awhile. I found one and plucked it out and then found 5 more and plucked them out too 🤦🏻‍♀️ I used to dye my hair all the time even until a few years ago and stopped dyeing it to go to my natural brown hair mostly out of laziness/depression. I ended up on this video after googling tonight. I’m not sure if I’m ready for grey hair yet but I feel like dyeing it now would cause so many more issues with maintenance. I remember how poorly my mom’s grey hair would dye in the early 2000’s.

As if you’re 40! 😮 look 30

I've decided to welcome my gray! I did go with a Bob pixie, I want to get the color out of my hair so I can look decent during the transition. What Should I do?

I'm wondering if all the chemicals in that hair dye, seeping into our brains id the reason why so many people have alzheimer's these days.

I decided that since I'm almost 70 I would go gray and so I haven't dyed it for 10 months. I had two haircuts and now the dyed part is gone. I don't really like it. It makes me look older and more like my mother. I am going to wait a bit but I think I'm going to go back to dyeing it. I'm juar not ready. I'll try again in a couple years. I don't want to look like some of these really old woman with coal black hair who have obviously dyed their hair.
