5 Things I Learned From Going Grey

[@karawaller9772]

Omg so pretty!! You are gorgeous!! I was looking for someone younger whose rocking the grey! I love it!!

[@lola_doll88]

I felt so strange going grey at first but now it's completely normal, it's me. Your hair is so beautiful! Love the grey

Hello fellow silversister!!! Looking amazing!!!

[@JPSkyeBlue]

❤️ I embraced my natural grey over the pandemic lockdowns - the last time I dyed it was Feb 2020. I haven’t gotten it cut either since (minus a couple at home little trims) - so it’s also sooooo long. I think I’m waiting to cut it until I’m happy with my grey length enough that I can just cut off all the dyed hair at the bottom. Almost there and can’t wait!! But I love what you said about wishing you’d done it earlier and how it feels amazing to be happy and proud of something that is naturally you. I have dyed my hair since high school because I love mixing it up and playing with color. But at some point over the past few years, it became less about wanting to have fun and more of a stress - because my hair grows super fast and I would have to get it colored almost every month. My roots made me feel sloppy and old. When my stylist told me at my last appointment Feb 2020 that if I wanted to ever embrace my color he would help me transition - I was shocked. Did I really have that much grey? And why in the world would I do that?!? But then as I saw my roots get longer and all my natural grey - I made a decision. I could buy some box dye or I could see what happened. Honestly, without the pandemic I may not have ever done it - because getting past those first few early months was HARD - and if I had been going to work etc, would have been harder. But now that I’m here? I’m always saying how I wish I’d done it sooner. I love it so freaking much. And I do have to say, the one thing I personally have experienced differently than you, is that I feel like I’ve encountered the opposite in terms of acceptance. The amount of compliments I get on my hair weekly - from women of all ages (and even some men!) - I never have gotten compliments like that about anything before in my life. Women tell me that they have seen more women embracing it and that they love it. Someone at work the other day stopped me to say how she’s seen me around and wanted to tell me how much she loves it and then show me an Instagram account of a woman who has done the same - and then another woman joined us in the conversation. I’ve also had women tell me “I wish I could do that” or “if my grey looked like yours I would do it too” - but like you said, it has to be the right time for everyone. Of course I do still get comments like “that’s your natural color?!? You’re too young!!” But overall I do think that from my experience I’m feeling more of a positive feeling of women embracing the grey (or wanting to) and I feel like it’s part of a societal evolution maybe - hopefully. Done rambling! But loved your video and you and started following!

I'm so happy to hear you're loving your grey hair and that you've had a positive experience 💕.

[@Purehoneybee]

Your natural hair color is so beautiful 🤩

[@MindMadeUp]

Thank you 😊.

[@jessycoto4472]

All i have to say to you is that i looooove your hair and how the gray looks on you and the pattern of the gray hair you have. Im going to two years dye free and I can’t wait to see my hair completely dye free..

[@shadow-ska3435]

Next week will be 2 years of growing out my grey hair. I'm gonna get the final cut next month and will be fully silver at 34 years old. I truly love it now! I think it's actually a unique look ;) Your videos really helped me embrace it. I love your attitude to ageing, I think about it often. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@MindMadeUp]

Yaayyyy! Congrats 🎉. I'm turning 34 this year too. The aging thing is always a challenge, but I try to keep a positive mindset about it and challenge any negative thoughts that may come up.

[@starfoxfanboy786]

Same this chicks awesome

[@crystalmendoza5727]

Wow your hair looks amazing! I’m 33 and have had greys since 15 or so.. but my hair is naturally black so it looks a bit witchy… I’m still trying to grow it out because Ron tired of damaging my hair.

[@oluz4773]

You have beautiful shades of grey. It suits you well and make your eyes stand out more. Blessings 🙏

[@MindMadeUp]

Thank you!

[@tennilledebysingh5819]

Love this post! I totally relate to everything here! I've been growing out my hair for almost 4 years to donate, I also dye my greys. So, that one last hair cut will get me closer to allowing grey to be. I admit I am nervous/interested to see what the demarcation line will look like, but also not looking forward to the rest of the growing out process, even though my plan is to keep it short/medium length.

[@zarzeckak312]

Hi 👋 nice to see a new video from you. Hair is looking great 😍 i would love to hear more about the texture and how you look after your hair now it's all length natural hair. I would love to hear. I am 34, regrowing my roots, I am now over one year I stopped dying my hair in Nov 2020 , it's a slow process for me. But I feel better with myself. I just think it's so special to be able to be the natural way embrace it and love it about yourself. I think it's very special.

[@MindMadeUp]

Thanks! To be honest, I don't do very much different right now. My hair is straight, fine and on the oily side, so I don't add any oils or too many products. I kind of just accept that there will be frizz, but if I'm trying to make my hair look nice, I do some hairspray. I also use a pomade to smooth down stubborn flyaways. I don't heat style my hair very often because I work from home and I can let my hair air dry. I feel like that helps. But if you have dry hair, an oil or serum should really help.

[@zarzeckak312]

Thank you. Mine is similar quite oily since I stopped bleaching it. I am planning to start using some natural clay on the scalp but while I still have quite a bit of blond bleached parts of my hair they will just dry up more with clay so no point right now. My hair is not gray, but the natural color is dark blonde so also very cool toned. It was such a good decision to regrow, there is still not that many videos on you tube about regrowing hair. But I hear it is also healthy choice as hairdyes generally have bad ingredients in them that can penetrate through skin surface. Anyways! Thank you, I can't wait till mine is a bit grown. I think the pink temporary hair dye suited you so much, can't wait to experiment with stuff like that too.

[@ilariarigoni6885]

I love your hair! I am on a journey to growing out my natural blonde hair, I don't have any greys at the moment but to be honest, I don't think I want to deal with the stress of dying my hair every month because of my roots. So my plan is to accept my natural colour first, and then, when the time comes, I will see how I look with my greys. Why not. Why do we have do deal with dying our hair every 4 weeks if we don't want to do that?I hope I will be able to love and accept my hair.

[@CMKMarch63]

You’ve inspired me so much , thank you!

[@MindMadeUp]

Thanks 😊. Glad I could help in some way. It's weird to think people actually watch my videos haha.

[@Emjay_____71]

Im at 6 months I have saved the money up ! xx

[@starfoxfanboy786]

Your a cool chick I like you

[@auroracharming5531]

I'm one haircut away from getting rid of the dye, I love how soft it is. I also enjoyed how much my gray roots annoyed people 😂 they stare at my face then my hair confused

[@MindMadeUp]

Yaayy you're so close!

[@jenesoleil3922]

I love that look too. Grey hair and young looking face makes strangers 👀 twice 😂

[@tippytoe1250]

I went out to a restaurant with my husband. I caught 2 men staring at me really hard. Lol! I wonder if it’s due to confusion.

[@silvercurlszelda]

That sounds so exciting!

[@tennilledebysingh5819]

Hahahaha! I need to embrace that mentality! But also, I WAS that person who gave confused looks at younger people with grey, boy have I learned my lesson! 🤣🤣

[@lindadow8531]

Your beautiful. I am in transition 6 months. Being 64 happy with myself, I think grey is gorgeous. People say I am strong, what the heck. My twin still says no way. I was always the first to do most things. I am so excited about it all.

[@LeylaRengifo]

Aging is normal But for a lot of people is a problem If you don't dye your grey hair they look at you like what is going on with her 🤔 My last dye was 2 months ago My hair is very long and black Soo is very notorious 🤭 I'm excited seeing my hair grow Is like I'm waiting for something very value I wanna have a very long grey hair is gonna take years I know but is what my heart want. I probably look older? I don't know.... I don't care Look older is not a crime I will do what makes me happy. Thank to share, lovely video ❤ Your natural hair is beautiful!!!

[@MindMadeUp]

You have a great mindset! The process takes a long time, but the time passes anyway and it's surprising how fast it goes by. I can't believe it's been 3 years for me already.

[@shannanama1]

Everything about you is fabulous! Especially your hair. You are wise beyond your years.... thank you for sharing

[@pixyofwoods]

So to the point! I remember when i let my grey grow a couple of years ago, i watched a video of you saying for the 3-4 first months' straggle, it definitely was, not for me but for others to understand why i was doing this at my age. To tell you the truth i straggle more when i gain weight just because i am responsible for this, but for my hair or my expression wrinkles absolutely not! Thank you yet for another video, i adore your authenticity!

[@MindMadeUp]

I feel you on the weight gain part. Struggling with that one myself right now, but I feel a lot more neutral about it than I have in the past.

[@zarzeckak312]

Being authentic is empowering , 100%agree!

[@Amethyst_J]

You’re hair is gorgeous and your videos are helping me stick to growing out my hair. ✨

[@silvercurlszelda]

Yes... Hair is a very big thing for people.

[@kd2533]

I know this video is 2 years old. I started my grow out in 2022. Now I see women everywhere growing theirs out! Here in Australia, it seems increasingly popular ❤

[@antonias7637]

Your hair looks beautiful! Good for you!

[@MindMadeUp]

Thank you!

[@sharonstewart7885]

Your hair beautiful! As r you ,very wise lady, I'm 56 and 7months in my sister in her forties and just over 2 years grown out, she's very long hair,,, 💖😎

[@MindMadeUp]

Awesome, keep going!

[@JulieBravo222]

It looks stunning with your eye color, I am 42 and I cant wait till the day I can have grey hair, I have a lil but not enough to transition yet!

[@MindMadeUp]

Thank you! I'm in a phase where I've been contemplating dyeing it 😬

[@FCPA1997]

Your hair is gorgeous! I hope mine looks that good once all of the gray grows in!

[@Satsusss]

You look phenomenal, I love your honesty and you're right in everything you say. Especially the bit about ageing and death, how we have an unhealthy relationship with it. It's the one thing that is inevitable in life, that happens to us all, we need to talk about it and normalise talking about it.

[@starfoxfanboy786]

You have sold me f it I'ma just go grey the grow out bits the bish I think you having such pretty blue eyes makes it looks good

[@hassinauzunova598]

You are so beautiful, intelligent and authentic ❤

[@MindMadeUp]

You're too kind. Thanks for watching ☺

[@sladjanaaleksic7422]

❤

[@TheSolbiatii]

I do have loads of grey hair. Actually, they are white. It's weird. I think. But I've just discovered your channel and your hair is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. It's insane. Cheers!

[@MindMadeUp]

White hair is cool 😎

[@FreshGrey-pm4vw]

My grey hair is the most fun I have had in yrs with my hair. Its longer now than it looks in my profile pic here but I want it long long. It does take some yrs to get it long and I imagine by next summer I will be mostly there. No maintenance for me really- its so easy. I dont do purple shampoo bc its very damaging for me.

[@lf9341]

You are so pretty!

[@judah6152]

Beautiful!
