4 Tips for Going Grey in Style from a Celebrity Stylist

[@carolnewlands8630]

I transitioned to grey 3 years ago..salt and pepper and let it grow..I love it..I can do so many things with it...I don't believe all of us older women need to wear short hair!!..but grey requires more color on the lips....and dressing a bit more creatively helps..I appreciate this womans knowledge..this has also saved me money at the hairdresser!!

Had grey streak at eleven, full grey by twenty. Eventually in thirties went gray. It is okay to be grey!

I dyed my hair for years, then was getting tired of the skunk strip at the roots, so my hairdresser dyed my hair(, through the old fashioned streaking, with the bonnet and crochet hook) white, it wasn't bleached but died, I loved it !! White suits my skin tone better than the grey, but it transitioned really nicely... want to do the white again, but for now I'm all grey and cut very short.

Thank goddess I never stared coloring my hair. My grey hair stared coming in when I was in my 20s. I started thinking about color, asking questions and price. I wore my hair long and back no bangs. So when I found cost, combined with how fast my hair grew, I would have had to be doing roots every 2-3 weeks. That was enough for me to restrain from even starting. I was ok with that, especially when the grey evened out, because 20s-30s I was more grey on the right side of my head. ;)

Just had a trim on my longer gray hair. Another issue I have is thinning near the front of my scalp. As u said on an earlier video it’s important to accept yourself for what actually is.

[@macpduff2119]

The transition from dyed hair to white is the challenge.

[@jeanb3711]

Good video..let my hair go grey when l reached my 50's. It was very liberating as l hated doing my roots which was every 3 weeks!

She mentioned blood circulation, but didn't mention scalp massage or Fasciablasting. I've been using Ashley Black's fascia blasting tools (inside a plastic bag) on my head, while shampooing in the shower, and I've been growing more hair! I'm 60!!!

[@mariecrowe8843]

I’ve tried to transition once before and reverted back to colour! I’ve decided to travel abroad for at least a year during my next transition, 🤔🌝

You are beautiful and so upbeat! Just subscribed -happy to be part of your tribe! I am 58, have waist length hair and my white stripe from high school has taken over my whole head. The bottom was brown, top silver, with few remaining stripes of brown. The last dye job I had I asked them to pull bottom color up through the nearly straight line of where I stopped dying, in only stripes, and created a beautiful transition area. Constant compliments. Had always asked (mistakenly) to blend brown gradually into grey and they would dye all grey away -four salons later I painted a picture of how I wanted dye painted on -Voila -perfection. I helps that grey is having a moment so they dont automatically think we want to eliminate it! Next thinking of trying conditioners from Ulta that are pink, coral, etc. They leave hair healthy with temporary color. Bit frightened tho!

Thanks Sheri - your hair solution sounds wonderfully unique!

[@macpduff2119]

Wigs were my answer. Wigs covered my white roots as I let it all grow out. I started with auburn color wigs, then transitioned to blond wigs. Then very light platinum wigs, and finally to white wigs that matched my real bio hair. I worked so it was not an option to walk around for a year with half white and half dyed hair. Wigs let you look groomed while transitioning.

[@sixtyandme]

Great option!

For anyone like to go gray, There is no other way. The best is to wait for 4 months then cut the hair shortcut and it will grow back.I found out this is the easiest way to go through transactions. If likes to keep it long , keep cutting it every 4,months until is all hair grown. Yes it is going to be a mess and challenge. People say things Stay strong. It is a mistake to color or highlight so can go through this.

[@joanhendrix5967]

I started a year and a half ago, unfortunately, with a young hair stylist who had no experience with a brunette to natural transition. Her first highlights were just blond and looked yellow against my widening white roots. Looked awful. She looked confused when I requested low lights. My friend had her whole head bleached at once in foils and then glazed with a gray shade. Her result was fantastic. Mine has been a painful experience and my hair is still pretty dry and fragile at the ends. Thankfully, I only have 2-3 inches to go in the back, it's still blonde back there. (It's been fully bleached twice to lift the brown dye.) The best part is my natural colors are gorgeous. What a surprise. I live in a rural community where hairstylists are not that plentiful and I had no recommendations to go on.

Thanks for this wonderful tips on going gray..its empowering! From the Philippines.

[@emmylou-y4b]

Thanks! This is great information. Check out Deb Arndt's transition to gray videos on KZbin as well. Her technique includes continuing to dye the part and part your hair in a certain way until a lot of the white is in. This sounds strange but it really works. I'm still in the "pondering stage" myself.

[@flowergrowersmith449]

I see heaps of groovy women in the city with silver hair and the best styles are short and a bit choppy and messed on top with products. The money you save on colouring will go on keeping your style in shape! Then, you have to complete the look with excellent glasses (if you wear them), nice lippy and sharp clothes. They look much younger than women who cling to their dyed, lank hair.

So good to see your lovely face I love your positivity

[@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ]

Good timing! I stopped adding semipermanent colour a few months ago. I did not start colouring until my early 50s and when I look at pre-colour days, I realized that colouring was getting darker and far from my auburn red. My hair has always been my distinguishing feature and hence, I was more concerned about losing that feature. My challenge is the style. I am growing out my pixie and wondering what’s a current style vs my hair’s natural short crop which is a throw back to my 40s.

Thanks Margaret and Denise, great video.

[@kayrichardson6040]

Great topic and great information! Thanks Margaret and Denise!

[@kkkkit]

What colour would you call your hair in this video? That’s what I want and can I do it at home from dark/dyed hair?

[@lorrainevart8827]

Have noticed in all the hair style videos very little about wavy or curly hair

[@galehalke2956]

I’m just not ready for gray hair yet. My roots are white in the front and gray in the back....I would still be a slave to the hair salon just to make it not look crazy! Many women look very stylish with their short gray hair, especially the ones that went gray prematurely, but some just look old beyond their years. Maybe I’ll just get a Zsa Zsa Gabor wig when I become too old or sick to get my hair colored! Lol 👵🏻

[@ppuyle1]

Could you please tell me the product she mentioned for fine and thinning hair? You were talking over her a bit and I couldn’t make it out. Thank you!
