I love the length you have now and the slightly off center part is very flattering. I have always worn a hat when I am bike riding, hiking or at the beach most of my adult life. It's better for your skin and now that I am growing out gray, glad I have the habit. I use a floppy all purpose hat.

I'm digging the ombre effect.

[@lynneprivett1064]

I'm 14 months in, and have been shopping for hats just recently. Apparently I have a very large head for a woman, and am struggling. I'll be glad for any progress you have!

[@RocandDara]

Amazon sells Sunday Afternoon hats. UPF of 50. I have 2. One I purchased from Amazon and the other at Cabela’s. The hats have adjustment for different head sizes. They make several styles. I purchased the Sol Seeker and Verona styles. Sol Seeker is my fav.

[@kimpaulson943]

I totally agree. They are my go to brand for hats.

[@Maiden_Warrior_Crone]

You look radiant! Really perfect hairstyle. My grey hair does look yellow in spots, and I'm perhaps 20% grey now. I sometimes wear a beret or a scarf headwrap, and I also have a wide-brim straw hat. I also need a larger hat circumference. Love your channel! Cheers from The Netherlands!

I'm 13 months in also! Thanks for posting your journey.. I just ordered some hair sun protectant spray. Hopefully that will help for the summer

[@lynnsterq6228]

Wow it looks amazing

[@fattsmcgee5686]

It’s looking great Cat! I’m 7 months in. I’m loving the pattern I am seeing.

Hello again! I hope you are doing well! Like you, I am on my 13 month. I live in the Sunshine State, Florida. To be honest, I don’t do anything in particular to prevent my hair turning yellow, I am very simple. Just because my hair is curly I use Potion 9, from Sebastian. But that is to prevent the frizzy hair. I walk under the Sun every day at least for 20 minutos, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at noon. My hair has not turned yellow. It did not happen to my father or my mother either. I don’t use purple shampoo either. About the hat, like you I don’t wear any because I don’t think they suit me. Best of luck!!!!

[@Gmomof1]

Looking great! I feel the same way about myself with hats- so hard to find one that not only fits but doesn't look silly. Maybe a stylish scarf to wrap in a way to protect a good portion of top of your head could work? I am not sure if the sun would really turn hair yellow but some claim it can and have also heard purple shampoo would correct it-- I encourage you to also seek advice from trusted hairstylist regarding that. Looking forward to what others comment here. Have a blessed day!!

[@jmbutler5]

your hair is looking beautiful! my favorite hat brand is Helen Kaminski. A little pricey but so worth it and I’ve had two of my hats for probably 20 years💖

[@melaniesmizawski9413]

Use purple shampoo and conditioner to take the brassiness out of the grey hair that naturally happens. It will not affect your dark hair.

[@debifoshag8436]

A straw fedora! I have a huge head and can’t stand forehead lines, so I mostly wear my hats tilted backwards and a fedora looks great and summery tilted backward. Unfortunately it doesn’t offer a whole lot of sun protection for the face that way, but my scalp and neck are happy with it.

[@barbarahermannster]

I think your hair is very pretty. Thanks for the tips. LOL, I have a larger head too and it had not occurred to me that I don't wear hats for that reason till I saw this vid.

[@kathrynp7595]

I don’t like hats, just use purple shampoo to get rid of the yellowing. Your haircut is lovely 🌸

[@cristinadreyer5357]

Never dyed my hair and now I'm getting a lot of greys. I do not feel like dying it, so I wanna get used to it and have a healthy relationship with my grey hair from the start.🙂 I'm been watching a lot of videos like yours and many people mention the sun x yellow thing, but I just realized that men's grey hair doesn't get yellow, right? 🤔

[@rosevicente8621]

[@whiterose9299]

I'd like to see 6-12 month dye-free vlogs.

[@lt.creggar5903]

Gourgeous!

[@lynneprivett1064]

After months of shopping, I found a hat. Yes, just one, but my struggle has been long and irritating. At Duluth Trading Co. they have hats for both sexes in various sizes. I was able to get a hat for walking/hiking/out yard wear in a womens XL So happy.

[@micr63]

I am not a hats person. But purple shampoo has helped with brightening my gray and taking yellow out I'm not sure if there is an SPF product for hair. I will have to look into that. Might be something as an advantage. I heard the reason for the yellow is more because of oxidation and impurities in the environment

[@jeannie6661]

Hello I'm 6 months into my salt n pepper journey and had my mid back length hair chopped off to an A-line cut about 1 1/2 months into my journey. You mentioned hats I too have a large head so I thought I put on my straw like fedora and well YUCK! So I don't think a fedora hat will work for our large heads but those big floppy hats might be nice...guess I need to go hat shopping myself now that I know my fedora doesn't work 🤪

[@magaligaona1685]

Lo llevas muy lindo 😍 te falta poco

[@fionajammaster]

I have started looking at hats too (I am 4 months into my transition) and I have found wallaroo hats which are spf hats and they have loads of styles and they are adjustable so maybe it would be worth looking to see if they are available in your country xxxx

[@shhh_quiet]

Why not a light classic scarf?

[@Digitalhunny]

You CAN burn gray hair! That's when it turns really yellow. Maybe our hair is being burned by the sun's UV rays, just like our skin does? Makes sense to me, as something without pigmentation always burns 1st. We need a hat.🤗🇨🇦💫

[@monikavarro2020]

Well, I absolutely hate wearing hats! I live in Australia where it's really hot and I haven't had any problems with my grey hair going yellow. My shampoo has sunscreen in it. Maybe get a hat that's comfortable to wear? I don't like hats! 😂

[@kirstinpiche]

Check out the IG of "The Saucy Milliner" out of Ottawa, Ontario. She really knows her hat stuff. If you contact her she will recommend a style she thinks is best.

[@DitchingDietsDye]

Thanks for the recommendation! Glad to have a Canadian suggestion 😊

[@lynnbryan3057]

Find a style of hat that suits you. I don't suit baseball hats. My head is 62cm. I do like the Australian style hats.
