15 Month Dye-Free Check-In & Update

[@kb606]

Please don't feel guilty, life is too short. Your vids are great, I have enjoyed watching your progress and your hair looks great. Xx

[@DitchingDietsDye]

Thank you so much ❤️ You are so right. Life is too short for feeling guilty about these kinds of things.

"Knowing your limits is a strength, not a weakness" (Kim Harrison) I have enjoyed all your videos as they have inspired me to go on my grey journey, and I am not regretting it at all. I love my salt and pepper look and I can't wait to be completely dye free. For months, I have agonized about starting a KZbin channel but being a full time high school teacher and having other commitments, I really don't think I would have the time to commit to it because I know my limits!!! 🥰👍

[@kathrynsemmelroth3090]

You have been such an encouragement to me in my own gray hair journey! I am six months in, and I have similar coloring to you, so YOU have been a main source of inspiration! Thanks for taking the time to be vulnerable and open. It's truly be an inspiration to watch your videos.

[@fattsmcgee5686]

Hey Cat! Do not feel guilty. Your job, friends, and family come first. Just like ditching your diet should be organic, social media and KZbin content should be too. Create content when it fits your schedule and brings you joy. That what’s great about subscribing and getting notifications. And…your hair looks great wavy!! That’s so much growth in a year. 🤍

[@sasabinz7331]

You look great and thank you for being a good example. Its so important that we listen to our inner wisdem and let go of what does not serve us. You can be proud of yourself for being so courageous to share this with us. Guilt is not needed. I like watching your videos regardless how often they come. Being only 3 months in the transition I need a lot of patience ... and role models like you 🙂

[@DitchingDietsDye]

Aw, thank you so much ❤️ We definitely need to listen to our inner wisdom-great term!

“Stop fighting reality” - I love that! Glad you are doing what works for you. I found your videos when I first started this journey, a few months after yours started, and enjoy your check-ins whenever you have them. I’ve eschewed social media for the most part, largely because it felt like another burder to maintain, so I can absolutely relate to what you’ve said. My journey is going well! I had my first salon haircut last month in well over a year, and have been using overtone to ease the transition. I’ve been playing with some fun colors of it, too, from time to time. I am enjoying my “grombre”, so I’m planning on doing trims and no big chop. Thanks again for your videos and especially your candor - that’s why I love your channel!

[@vonniehatfield2599]

Cat, Thank you for sharing. I empathize with you. Love your hair! 🥰

[@suzannegrandma1150]

You have helped a lot of women with this channel by sharing your journey. Thank you 😊

[@carolinekelly4726]

I'm 56 and my hair is mousey in Colour, dirty brown colour. I was Naturally blonde in my younger day's I have never died my hair but now I have a few greys and started to Panic. I thought should I die it? Hell no! I have seen many ladies now who have embraced their grey and it Looks wonderful. Keep going your Hair look great and you have inspired me to keep going. Thanks 😊

[@PeachesSkinCare]

Beautiful! Inspiring! I love allowing my grey hair sparkle🙌🏻 at 55 I feel more confident then ever and I love helping others find their way and feel their best during this journey. Wabi Sabi embracing the imperfections of life and in ourselves and in aging … a gift!!!!! . Blessings Cat and everyone 🍑🧡🙌🏻Lisa

[@breewithlove]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us and definitely toss those guilt bricks aside! I stumbled upon you many months back when I just up and decided at my hair chair appointment last December to not do highlights/low lights. I had been doing them for nearly 20 years. I have very curly hair, blonde but of course roots are dark with a few slivers of the silver 🤪 I’m trying to hold true to this journey I’ve been barked upon as well and hearing you say things like you’re no longer fighting your body and just letting reality be reality is very inspiring thank you Kat!!! Ohhh and your waves look awesome 🤩

[@ireneg.m.9365]

Your eyes look so bright and beautiful with your current look! It's great to be able to let go that sort of burden, congratulations for that inner work. I always like your videos.

[@Parm-lifereimagined]

Hey from the UK! Your hair looks great! Lovely greys and this length suits you 🙂. I too am going through my transition as a Silver Sister and find your videos and content a real inspiration. It's great to hear that others are going through similar thoughts and feelings on the 'embracing our greys' journey. I recently had my shoulder-length hair cut to a short bob, and I'm now looking forward to this growing out with my natural greys. Also, please do not feel guilty about your social activity. You need to put yourself first 😀. It takes alot of time and energy to manage our lives day-to-day so cutting back on managing multiple social accounts is definitely a good thing👍. So...kick-back, listen and accept what your mind and body are telling you. You're absolutely doing the right thing girl! Take care 😃🙏

[@pattyj716]

Let it be what ever it needs to be. Just like your listening to your body. Listen to your mind. The journey is yours.

[@BeingReal1]

Oh Cat! Your hair is looking absolutely gorgeous! 🥰

[@TheRozylass]

Your natural hair is so beautiful!! It looks so good with your skin and eyes, just like nature (God) intended. Just found you on my feed and am glad to see someone embracing their natural beauty. Keep up the good work.

[@Nailtheday]

Never feel guilty!! I announced on my latest video that I won’t be posting as much mainly because life is returning to normal now and I don’t have the time. I started posting regularly as I had loads of time during lockdown. Editing takes ages and I honestly now just want to live a bit 🤣 you have to do what makes you happy 😃 💕💕

[@emmylou-y4b]

Please do not feel guilty. If we've learned anything from the last year and a half, it's that life is so precious and spending time with family and friends plus, pursuing careers are important priorities. I'm 66 weeks into my gray hair transition and follow many YTubers who are or who have done the same. The initial period is the scariest and there's lots to talk about but as time goes on, life goes on and it's all ok. BTW, don't feel that you have to cut out all the dye right away. I'm a long-hair girl and I need my length even if it means having the demarcation line. Your hair looks terrific and so healthy. Be well.

[@stephanierickey9100]

Your hair looks absolutely incredible!!!!!

[@sherrykinder5071]

Hi from Florida. I enjoy watching your grey hair journey (I'm at 16 months) however you choose to share it, Thank you.

[@babyblue7798]

i like that! thank you.. stop fighting reality! i got here looking for ideas to highlight my newly gray hair.. I stopped coloring my hair, but Im getting peer pressure from my younger sisters to color my or highlight my hair again. They think it's not normal for woman to have a young looking face and gray hair, but I do hate the gray roots and I have to stop fighting reality. Thank you Darling!

[@angelamccormick5075]

Girl, give yourself GRACE!

[@SuirenWin]

You look lovely! You make me think of Rogue from X-men. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I'm growing my hair out too 😊. Wishing you good health & happiness 🌻

[@DitchingDietsDye]

I'm flattered by the comparison to Rogue 😊 I hope your journey is going well!

[@jeannie6661]

Good for you for listening to your inner voice! Your hair looks Great too!!!

[@DitchingDietsDye]

Thank you so much 😊

[@irasemaoa7701]

I relate so much! I have a different account that's my "business" and I wanted to focus on it and I thought I'd give it a year of regular posting...oh dear, only a month in and I'm already falling short 😭 but then I remembered why I started it and as you said, I get to decide.

[@kathrynp7595]

Love your hair wavy, very beautiful 🌸

[@carolebuckle7977]

Your grey hair is looking a lovely silver colour… I go in the sun & my hair does not go yellow on the grey, I also have quite a light silver hair , xx

[@MicheleMaBelle67]

Nice update. You look great.

[@DitchingDietsDye]

Thank you!

[@daisysmith8535]

You're sooo ✨beautiful✨ Thank you for your videos ❤️

[@normaearnisse3106]

☺️👍💜 u look Fabulous!!!! I’m 10 months in my transition!!!!!

[@timpayne3173]

Thank you for your honesty and making yourself vulnerable to be real it’s so refreshing! 👏👌👍 Have you found the texture of your hair has changed at all? I have very fine hair and am wondering if it will change the appearance and texture if I let the dye grow out to help it thicken? 🤔

[@tanjafromaustria1981]

just thanks!

[@Ingrid---]

I would love to jump into this transition but I'm not sure because I only have grey hair on top and I don't know how it will look 😒

[@floridamezzo8734]

Hi! I am 18 months into my transition to my natural color. My next cut this month will get rid of my remaining highlights. Gone from blonde to brown--with some grey!

[@DitchingDietsDye]

That's so exciting! What a big milestone 🙌🏻

[@justinrakowski140]

Thank for the update and yes, you do you!!! Also, since it’s been 15 months since ditching the dye are you still ditching the diet as well? And if so, what affects have you seen? Mentality, weight loss/gain/plateau?

[@DitchingDietsDye]

It's been a bit longer with ditching diets, and I'm in a good place with it. My weight stabilized in the fall and has been pretty steady overall. I'm about a size larger than before when I was more restrictive, and while I miss some clothes, I've got new clothes that are comfortable and feel good. I don't constantly think about food like I used to, and it's incredibly freeing.

[@tanjafromaustria1981]

loooove 360!

[@magentamagicmagentamagic6709]

Is your hair naturally wavy?

[@angel-no5sy]

You look amazing. You look younger.🎉

[@sarahtan8957]

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking I’m 26 years old and I have a lot of grey hair at the front of my head and I can’t afford to keep dying it so idk what to do for hair color my natural hair is black and grey Idk what to do Any advice

[@IWantToMature85]

She's 40. I know that because she said it dome videos back.

[@mangisty1007]

Dr. Laura reserves the guilt feelings for murderers, cheaters etc. 😬You felt mostly torn and bad....anyway the torn feelings is just your gut telling you it is just not your thing right now! That is ok! That is how you can tell what is more important! All good!

[@sublita]

there is no need to justify yourself. You are not paid by listeners to make videos. It is not your duty
