Ma'am I don't have any intention to go gray and I'm not even a woman. I started to watch your videos just because your accent, i am learning English and I listen to you while I'm doing something. And i realized that i started to pronounce words just like you. To be honest even i am not into your contents as a 21 year-old man, i am enjoying to listen you. I hope you keep doing this great job 🙏🏽

[@dacogray9545]

I’m a 62 year old African-American woman. My hair started graying in my early 40s and I decided then that I did not want to waste money trying to cover the gray. I lost all of my hair two years ago to chemo and I was sure when my hair grew back it would be completely gray. But after hair re-growth, I’m about 80% black and 20% gray. Each year since re-growth, it’s getting grayer and I’m loving it,. And my hair grew like crazy which surprises me because before chemo, my hair did not grow fast. And it grew a little thicker considering it thinned out a lot after I had a hysterectomy at age 38. My mom and grandmother had salt/pepper gray and it was simply beautiful. They were very light complexion and their gray looked beautiful with their complexion. I’m a little darker. None of us were into makeup but I can honestly say that we have received an abundance of compliments about our gray hair. I do use purple shampoo because my mom/grandmother did and I saw the wonderful transformation to their hair. I’ve never been self-conscious about turning gray. I consider it a blessing that I’ve to lived this long with beautiful hair.

[@patriciafuller7860]

I totally agree with you, I started going grey in my earlier years, but I couldn't accept it. Then, one day, I decided that when I turned 60, I would let it grow out, and now I'm 74 and absolutely love my grey, very curly hair. Thanks for your videos.

[@algg78]

Renee I mean this with the utmost respect. You look amazing with the gray. The gray hair has softened your look. I just think you look like a happy, light hearted beautiful woman!!

[@KatherineNottingham]

@@algg78 she really could be a spokesmodel for being natural. For a woman who has aged gracefully. And it's gorgeous.

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

Renee, I agree with this. The gray is absolutely FABULOUS on you!!! 🩶🩶🩶

[@susanfreeman6350]

I’m 75 and started going grey about 5 years ago. Now it’s REALLY gray with some darker areas. I love it. My hair is baby fine and thinning…nothing to brag about. Your hair, and you are drop dead gorgeous!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I'm sure you're rocking the grey!

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

@Susan, you might consider sleeping in 2-3 sponge rollers (1-2 on top of your head and at the nape of your neck). They’ll make your hair look twice as full and will give you body as well. ❤

[@Michelle_Zoe_Wal]

I am 57 and have not colored my hair with permanent dye since I was pregnant with my only child at 32. I used temporary dye once when my son was 3, and he commented about my white hair. That was it for me. I have been wearing my hair gray since 36. I started getting grays in my teens. I would never ever color my hair. I, too, get compliments every day. You are gorgeous!

[@1955rivergirl]

Best decision I ever made! You are right, people will have opinions.. ignore them! Do what is right for you. People stop me and ask me who does my coloring? I laugh and say God have given me this hair!

[@janewhitaker1631]

I’m one year into letting my curly hair go gray and fortunately I haven’t had any negative experiences. My husband has been very supportive and I’m really enjoying the look. You are correct in saying that colors you’ve worn in the past sometimes don’t compliment your new look. Love your videos.

[@chrissheets4865]

I just hit my one year anniversary of when I last colored my hair. I’ve heard said “1 year to the ear” and that is about right for me. I knew it would take a couple years at least depending on how short I may want to take it. I am happy with it. I was SO sick of dying it as I did my own from a box for almost three decades. I’m 56 now and feeling the freedom! 😊 All the silver sisters online have been encouraging!

[@evelynrosado9711]

Love my gray hairs. I stop coloring when my husband was sick, hospitalized, etc. and at that time didn’t have the time because my husband was priority. Two years later my hair is completely gray. And I love it because too I have beautiful hair.

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

He’s blessed to have a devoted wife! ❤ I love that you for the blessing of silver hair through it, and I really hope he’s doing much better. 🙏🏻

[@Hope-ot1xy]

I started to get some gray in my 20’s but I was blessed the it started to come in, in one area at a time..like a streak. In my forties it was mostly white with what looked like dark low lights. I would always get compliments on my hair and how beautiful it looked. now my hair is all white and I absolutely love it… I still get compliments on it!

[@BK-gb7ko]

You're face looks softer without the colored dyed hair. You are beautiful.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I know! I feel like it matches my personality better.

[@brendaechols5929]

You are right about the purple shampoo. It helps get that red, yellowish tint out where the gray is coming out. Gray hair always look good if its stylish just the right way.

[@denisemaples6519]

It’s me! Love that you could be free enough to say so 😊

[@pamelab1175]

I love your gray hair. I quit coloring my hair over five years ago. I figured I would be totally gray by now. But I’m not. I’m 65. My dad’s family all grayed early. They were gray before they were thirty. My mom’s hair stayed dark a lot longer. When she passed at 96 she still had some dark hair in her head. I have noticed mine is getting grayer. But it’s not what I expected. I had an aunt on my dad’s side who had beautiful white hair. I want my hair to look like hers. I told my husband when my hair does go gray, I’m going to dye it pink. He’s not too happy about that. But I may do it if it ever happens.

[@margaretgreen2826]

Thank you Rene I love that green top on you it really suits you 💕 I’m 77 started to let my blonde curls go grey about 15 months ago thankfully I didn’t have the demarcation like you dark haired girls my hay was curly bob not quiet shoulder length I’ve had it cut once in 10 months I’m letting it grow shoulder length for for first time in my life because I know no one can duplicate the colour it’s such a mixture sometimes it doesn’t look grey I’m so proud of it and loving myself at 77 . 🙌 Have a great week. Margie 🌺 from Queensland Australia.

[@susane4078]

Grew out my silver hair during Pandemic. I have shoulder-length hair and took about 20 months. I was 70 years old. I’d colored it for 22 years and realized that my hair no longer held curls any longer. My spouse was not excited to see my brunette hair slowly became silver. I love my silver hair and do not miss the routine coloring. I do use purple shampoo monthly. My hair is soft and easy to curl again. Plus, it saved me $$.

[@tmom5728]

Yes ma'am! All facts! I'm going gray and loving it! I am still more pepper than salt but I'm embracing this journey!!

[@debbierasure]

When I made the decision to go gray, you were one of the first KZbinrs I started watching. You encouraged me and taught me how to make the transition. Thank you for sharing your journey then and now sharing your life with us. You’re still an encouragement, this time encouraging us to live life to the fullest. I so appreciate you. ❤

[@claudiarosser8339]

I am 65, but will be 66 in May. I started going gray between 63 and 64. I still have brown in in my hair so not completely yet. I will let it go completely. Loved your story! Thank you!

[@cynthia2233]

You look great with your gray curls! I've been following you since before you decided to go gray and have loved watching the process. I'm 75 and don't have much gray hair, my hairdresser often comments on how few grays I have. I get very gentle highlights about once a year that kind of mask them. If it would all just go gray, I wouldn't mind at all. (My Maternal Grandmother hardly had any gray when she died in her 80's.)

[@RNKoriginalss]

Being gray for 10 years and almost 60. I also had a supportive inner circle and never missed it since! I love me today! 🤩

[@krishosea6892]

My hair started going white in my late 20’s so I colored for 25 years. My hair had a line item on my monthly budget so I went natural in my late 40’s. I love my curly white hair and appreciate your tips and product reviews!

[@tammyberry1642]

I love your Grey hair! I think it makes you look brighter. So beautiful !

[@janhankins911]

I started going gray in my late 20's and just couldn't abide the thought of being gray at that age, so I colored my hair for years (and years and years). Looking back, I'm happy I colored my hair when I was younger, but I do wish I'd stopped sooner than I did. I was in my early 60's when I finally stopped and I absolutely love not wasting that time and money (not to mention all the chemicals that were probably leeching into my body through my scalp) coloring my hair--and all those products I had to use for colored hair. I would never go back to coloring my hair! If you are still coloring your hair and don't want to go gray, more power to you. That's your decision and you have every right to decide that for yourself. But the same is true if you decide to stop coloring your hair--it's your own decision and you have every right to decide that for yourself, despite what other people may think or say. Of course, as I get older, I find that I care less and less about what other people think and say about me. If they chose to be catty and say ugly things, that's up to them and it demonstrates who they are and what kind of person they are and I chose to not be that kind of person. To me, the biggest "decision" you have to make about going gray is do you let it "grow out" or do you do "the big chop". I chose "the big chop" and it took about 2 months for the color to be completely gone. But I had really short hair for about 6 months, too! I'm glad I chose "the big chop", but that's in hindsight (my hair has certainly grown out since then, so I'm no longer dealing with the "almost no hair" look).

[@rc-ki4uy]

I finally went gray 4 and a half years ago at age 69. I’ve stopped straightening it 2 years ago. I wish I’d done both sooner! My color and curl pattern are similar to yours. I get compliments almost every time I go out.

[@cynthiarozyckie5702]

Thanks a million for posting this! I just turned 55 on Sunday, and am 9.5 months into my cold turkey grow-out. No second guessing, it's just such a LONG process (i want to keep some length) that I find myself needing a fresh wave of encouragement. That was this video for me! Thanks again🩶🤍🩶

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

So glad I could help! The last big of grow out seems to drag on FOREVER. I didn't want to chop mine short so it took a full 2 years to grow out. But I'm so glad I stuck with it. You'll be too!

[@Kerryjotx]

This is perfection! I found you when you were probably 4 to 6 months into your transition to gray hair. I remember being shocked: “Oh my gosh! That’s what I’m going to look like, too!” because I have curly hair although it’s a mix of waves and curls. Your videos gave me such encouragement. Everything you are saying here you had said along the way, and it is so true. I have never felt more confident in the way I look. I used to dye mine a bright copper red because it had a lot of personality. Now I use my gray waves and curls to show that personality. I love it and I thank you so much.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

That is so great to hear! You are rocking it!

[@geselagrendel630]

Your right Renee, grey hair amongst the younger generation is definitely fashionable. Yours looks very attractive! I also think you look younger since the darker hair days 💜

[@LuvPickleball]

I ditched the dye 4 years ago, stopped flat ironing and embraced my natural curls 2 years ago. I agree with everything you said, Renee. It's a freeing feeling.

[@rc-ki4uy]

Exact same timeline as mine. You are right about it being freeing. I finally feel like the real ME!

[@ossier2796]

Yes it was pure freedom going gray. My temples also are whiter than the rest of my hair. I don’t use purple shampoos or conditioners but I get tons of compliments on my silver curls.

[@jennlichwick]

My silver is mixing with golden blonde to create what I call my “mixed metal” hair 😂. There’s a small but badass group of us that rock climb together as a band of silver foxes slaying routes that people half our age struggle on. These ladies inspire me to stay active and feel amazing every day ❤

Thanks Renee! You look good with dark and gray hair. I started going gray when I was 18 so I've been coloring for decades. Your encouragement is making me reconsider and grow it out.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I'm so glad this is helping you!

[@1stellargirl674]

💯 agree! I thought about stopping the color for YEARS! The pandemic finally made the decision easier. I’ve been gray for 4 years now and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Best of all, I get even more compliments on my curly gray than I did on my colored curls! Thanks for sharing!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Exactly!!

[@angryknitter3226]

I have the same thick curly hair as you and my hair color was a dark to medium brown as well. I’m 55 this year and I started my gray journey about 9 months ago. Can’t believe the stares I get all the time as well as the comments, good and bad. It’s a hard road, but I love knowing I don’t have dyes on my hair anymore and I am all natural now. I’ve noticed I’m going to have to change up my makeup and clothing too. Thanks for being an inspiration.

[@KarenArlinda]

Your hair is so gorgeous. I am 54 and had my last color done on 11/1/2019. I will never color my hair again. I love it ❤

[@Peggy-Kay]

I started my journey to grey hair during the pandemic when I couldn’t go to the pandemic. It was the perfect time, because I didn’t really have to suffer much during the transition since I didn’t really see anyone. And you are trigger, it is the best decision ever!

[@Piscesmoon83]

I’m in my early 40’s I don’t dye my hair. I’ve had a few grays come in and I would just pull them. Recently I’m getting more so I just leave em! PS I love your new room! It looks great! 🤍

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Awww thanks! It's my first time filming in there. I love it!

[@CricketSchmit]

70 now, and been gray since I can't remember! Many compliments from people who want to know where do I get my hair done? I earned it, I'm so lucky.

[@kimfromarkansas2084]

Renee, your hair is gorgeous. I started embracing my gray about 2 months ago and I don’t miss those long hair appts or the expense. I watch the blowout professor and he recommends Redken purple mask. I’ve noticed that I like my gray hair more when I have bronzer and blush on. I look a little washed out without makeup but I like the gray so far. It’s more of a silver in the front right now❤

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

@Kim, oh my gosh, is Blowout Professor finally addressing gray hair? 🎉 Or did he just recommend that purple mask for blondes?

[@lisamarie3328]

Renee I color my hair blonde. My hair is dark underneath. I’m not sure how much grey I would have if I let it go. I do think I have a grey streak on top. I think my problem is I’m afraid to let it go because of thinking it will make me look older. You are very encouraging about that and I know I shouldn’t feel that way. I’m 59 years old. You’re right that grey hair does not make you look older but I feel like some women it does so I think that’s what I’m afraid of. I think an up to date hair style helps as well. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You are helping a lot of women to embrace their grey hair.

[@arrigocanecorso9396]

Love this!!! Thank you for sharing. I love your hair and your channel! I’m 47 and I haven’t colored my hair in 5 years. Your story is so similar to mine, down to our moms. I use the olaplex purple shampoo and I love it🤩

[@bettyratliff7377]

I’m 68 and have been gray for 5 years now. Renee you were such inspiration in helping me through my Gray hair journey. I love my gray hair and would never go back to coloring my hair again.

[@dianesgardeninspiration]

I agree 1000% it’s so freeing! I started my process at 49 and haven’t looked back. There was an internal growth that happens going through the process. Love you, your curls and YOU! ❤️🌷🌷🌷

[@loriwagner2766]

Hi Renee - thanks for the video! I just passed my 3 year mark with no color. I’m 52! Absolutely love my white/gray hair! Everything you said here is completely accurate 😊

[@scruffster4519]

I love this video. I will be 68 this year I've been coloring my hair off and on for many years. I asked my hairdresser the other day if there was a way to do this gracefully and because my hair is like blonde and extremely white mostly he said that he could just put a bunch of highlights and a silver rinse on it and it would be fairly easy to grow out on like when you have dark hair he says to wait until I'm 70 but it's getting harder and harder to color it I actually color it at home. It's almost like the dye sometimes doesn't even take into the roots it's just gotten really bad lately so it's nice to hear good stories about going gray. I have a sister that has been gray since she was really young and my father was gray at a young age so I plan on doing it sometime soon

[@dammithoppie1]

I just turned 61, and have been totally grey since I was 35. My hair is very thick, and I've always worn it very short, so when I finally made the decision to go grey it didn't take long for my color to grow off. I have a 'shock' of almost pure white in the front with more 'salt and pepper ' everywhere else. I wear it shirt and spiky and people are always complimenting my hair. I've never felt old because of my hair, I'm like you and feel better because I am showing the true me. One thing with the purple shampoo, I, too, love the sun and I've found that I need to use the purple shampoo more frequently in the summer but don't like the harshness of it. I keep a small bottle of my favorite summer shampoo that I've added just enough of the purple to remove the brassiness, and I find that I can use it more frequently without drying out my hair. Stay gorgeous and grey!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

That's actually a great idea! I never thought of adding a small amount of purple shampoo to my regular daily shampoo. Hmmm...interesting! I'm going to try that! And same here for the summertime dullness. I need the purple shampoo more in the warm months when I'm outside. Thanks for the tip!

[@katn6074]

Thank you for this video, I love the message! It was December 2017 for me, looking at my reflection in a mirror and thinking why am I paying astronomical $$$ to get this colour when it just didn't suit me. I decided to embrace my grey and have never looked back! I too have had to give up my much coveted warm cream coloured clothing but it's all good. I love the wink and a nod to my fellow silver sisters, we know what's up!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Love our secret girl's club! ❤️

[@susandurandstone4278]

It took me 2.5 years to transition to grey and that’s how I found you! Best thing I’ve done! You’re right is so freeing!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

It is SO freeing, isn't it?! Love the feeling 💕

[@ab4th]

Renee, you were my main inspiration for going natural in November 2019. So thankful for being a part of the grey curly girl club! 56 and rocking the greys!

[@curlsnthings853]

I went completely grey about 2 1/2 years ago. Best decision ever. My hair feels so much healthier and I love the colour!

[@lynnklink1488]

Renee, totally agree. No more coloring hair and to top it off got a cute short cut. What used to take hours in chair ( long and thick hair) is wash and wear. Love it!

[@HNY67]

What a lovely video, Renee. I’m 68 and transitioned to gray right along with you and watching your videos. I learned a lot and I LOVE my gray hair. It’s wonderful when the wind blows and I think, I don’t have to worry about my roots showing! 😀 Until we meet again with your next video!

[@jmcg6189]

I'm 74 and never really went gray. A little graying at the temples. My hair is naturally wavy. After chemo I wondered if it would come back gray or curly. Nope, came back pretty much the same. Although I do now schedule my next appointment 6-8 weeks from my last. Now I always know when the next one is.

[@victoriagoins5250]

Love your curls!! I went gray probably 7 yrs ago. Best decision ever ( 61 now) Also love your make up videos. Question, do you dermaplane your face. Seem my peach fuzz is crazy now a days . One reason I quit wearing Fondation.

[@R-anne7375]

I loved your hair when it was colored brown, and I love it grey too ! But I think with you, its the curls that make it so beautiful. I would love to stop coloring my hair, but its very straight. It wouldn't have the appeal that yours has. I color my roots every 2 weeks because I can't stand the grey in my part. I always wanted curley hair because it always looks like it's done. I can understand the freedom you're feeling. 🙂

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

My girlfriend has very light grey hair...and it's stick straight. It's so cute!!

[@kathycerrito8168]

I agree with you. You look so much younger with your natural hair color. You glow!

[@lindaleach7954]

After looking at the photos you showed of you with colored hair, i think you look better with your gray hair. And it looks healthier!!

[@CarolKennedy-k9p]

Going gray is so liberating! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@jackielambes7208]

My hair is naturally black and so when I stop fighting my greys about 10 years ago. The best thing I ever did. So freeing. I still have some black but mostly silver. I get so many compliments on it. I think you also need to have the confidence to do it. I saw you on a commercial the other day. So right about colors too.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

You saw me on a commercial??? What was it for? I'm not aware I'm in a commercial

[@jackielambes7208]

@ it was for Widi health or something like that. I just got excited when I saw you. You may want to check to see if someone you endorsed used your image🤔

[@susiedavis4560]

Good morning Precious One! You do have the most beautiful gray and curly hair I’ve ever seen! I love all the different hairstyles you rock but one of my absolute favorite is when you pull it back, it shows off your face and neck area. Your new room looks great for filming! The chair your in looks like it would be a great chair for cross stitching. I’m 5’6”….when you sit all the way back does your feet touch the floor? Hope you have a great weekend!!🐶❤️

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Good morning Susie! Hope you're feeling better today. I love to have my hair pulled back too. I just need to find a hairstyle that I love. I always just feel like what I'm doing is "ok" but not great. Always tinkering with new things :) I'll go upstairs and sit in the chair to test out your question. I'm 5'2 so I'm not sure. I'll text you the answer in a few minutes. Have a great day!

[@jeanjacobs9965]

Greetings Renee! I'm pretty sure I have been with you since the very beginning of your channel when I went looking for someone else who was going gray. We did it together, except that I did end up getting a pixie for a couple of months. I hated the pixie, but it made the process go quicker. Thanks for being there and for giving me the sense that I wasn't alone! (I have curly, wavy hair, but it's very thin.) Love and blessings ♥️🙏

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

For sure Jean....you have been with me since the very beginning!! Love that 💕

[@SusanAtwell-m4q]

Love your grey and your curls . . .I am 65 and still highlight my hair (which is a dark brunette) because in pictures my hair always looked dull and flat . . . . . asked my hairdresser just last week if I should just go completely gray (I really don't have that much on the underneath where it isn't highlighted) and she told me that my hair isn't ready yet . . . . . not sure what type of gray I have but she says I have so little that my hair would go back to looking dull and she promises to let me know when the time is right . . . so glad you knew when to do it and love it for yourself !!!! God Bless.

[@lisayum800]

Love your new room. So calming and tasteful 🤍🩶

[@annegreenwood3624]

you look beautiful in Kelly green yes my hair skipped grey has white through it that shampoo works amazing another great video

[@andreakumer276]

And I love your ponytails too ❤ I’m not grey but can’t live without being able to pull it back !

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh gosh yes! I have to pull my hair back....drives me nuts being in my face sometimes.

[@LaurieAllan-w9n]

Hi I gave up my color in 2019 best decision I was doing it every 3 weeks . I have curly frizzy hair but I started using microfiber towels makes a nice difference 😊

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

That's awesome! I love the microfiber towels too.

[@louisealain780]

I completely agree with everything you said 👩🏻‍🦳👍. Next month will be 5 years since I transitioned to my silver hair cold turkey. My husband was my biggest cheerleader and still is. I love my three tone silver hair and I take very good care of it. I’m very fair skin so definitely need blush, lipstick 💄 and eye makeup. Like you I can’t wear yellow, beige , brown etc… anything else goes. Have you tried L’Oréal Metal detox shampoo, it’s white and brightens my hair so beautifully .

[@AO-oy4rf]

Your hair looks great. I stopped colouring my hair during covid so now around 4 years but mine still has a lot of mousey colour and not as much grey (unfortunately)! I have been thinking of getting some highlights through but maybe I won't and will just accept it as is - probably why was attracted to your video. Also my hair is curly but mainly underneath and the curly routine is also not easy. Oh to have low maintenance hair!

[@KiltieKaren]

I am 51 and 2 years post menopause. My naturally wavy hair has decided it’s now curly. I, like what the heck?! I also have two white stripes. Like the band 🤣 One on each side of my part. I have no idea what is going on and how to take care of it. I still have very fine hair, and now in FL since 2010. Humidity has always been my life, like when I lived in Louisville. I gave up decades ago with controlling the frizz. It’s hopeless. I am glad I decided to go gray naturally and not using dye to cover it. About the only thing I’ve done right. 🤣

[@lilolmecj]

Gray hair is dryer, I went from washing every other day to once a week! Now it tends a bit fly away for a couple of days after wash. Mine is very straight, and remains thick. I wash with purple shampoo about every fourth wash.

[@sylviayoung9009]

You inspired me to stop the color two years ago. It has not been easy, but totally worth it now. I am not as gray as I thought it would be.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Yay!!! Woo hoo!!

[@missy67]

Love your hair! Looks so natural and healthy! By the way, also love your new office! Very nicely decorated!

[@juliekelly6313]

When I first starting dying my hair it looked really good. But as time went on, it started looking fake and unhealthy. You had an impact on me going gray. Thank you! Love my gray hair. It is so soft, healthy, and beautiful. ❤

[@juliemackenzie1978]

Good Morning Renee. I am still not very gray…Genetics. My Mom didn’t go gray until her 70’s…same with my Grandma. (Mom’s Mom) But, my Dad’s Mom was totally gray…as long as I remember. Didn’t inherit that. So, I still choose to colour my hair. Every 2-3 months. I’m sure that one day…I will get tired of spending that money. I have not come to that decision yet. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊 I have typical Asian hair. Very course..& lots of it. I am lucky that I don’t struggle with thinning hair. My Auntie has alopecia…& is very conscious of her thinning hair. It happens a lot with post-menopausal women in my ethnicity…it’s hormonal & genetic. My Auntie that has this…married into our family…not the same genetics. I’m glad that I don’t have that issue. You look beautiful in your gray hair. I have a girlfriend that turned gray in her 20’s, also Genetics. I have only known her with Salt & Pepper Hair. She has never coloured it. She is beautiful & it suits her. I think it only matters with the person who has gray hair. Your hair, your choice. It doesn’t matter what others think….as long as you love it. Just my opinion. Have a great weekend! 👍😍 We are going back into the deep freeze this weekend. I already shovelled 3” of snow this morning & it’s still snowing. I will probably shovel another 2 times before the day is through. It is supposed to be -25C on Saturday. (-13F) & -28C on Sunday. (-18.4F) ❄️🥶

Indeed one of the best descisions I made for myself! ❤

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Love that!! 💕

[@m-cbourgie5965]

Almost 58 and only have grey on the temples. Thinking about getting some blond highlights to help the transition. Just not wanting to have to go to the hairdresser every few weeks.

[@birgitraya4909]

Same here. I'm 62 and only have a few grey hairs. I get highlites only once a year. I don't want color all over.

[@Europa1749]

I think they love your gray hair because of all the beautiful curls. Nobody ever comments on my hair...lol.

[@SilverHair73]

I made this decision 5 years ago and have never looked back! 😍 #silversistersunite

[@designyourlifewithsuheil]

Stunning hair! WOW!!!

[@Cherrycola-77]

Thank you so much for this video. I have considered going gray for some time now. And I agree with you that I think my colored hair is really making me look “older” these days. I just can’t seem jump the hurdle and do it. I wish I had your confidence. I just turned 55 and think, why wait? I know it’s because I worry about the grow out process. 👎🏻

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

Aww, you can do it!! ☺️ You can do headbands, scarves, hats, buns, ponytails, and when it grows out 6 months or more, you can tone your ends a cool shade so it all blends better. 🎉

[@MosaicRose99]

Natural redheads such as myself do not grey, but go directly to white. I'm still highlighting my hair but boy that white hair is really wanting to come on, lol. Maybe down the line I will embrace it, but for now I still like being a redhead...

[@jackiekelso6145]

I’ve always loved your hair!! Grey hair here as well! Very blonde hair as a baby/child, darker into the teen years, started the highlights around 19, hair turned very dark during pregnancies in my 30’s, back to highlights and added low lights and finally stopped getting highlights and low lights back in 2020 when the world shut down and it seems my hair has reverted back to when I was a child…very blonde now with natural gray streaks. Bizarre!! I can’t tell you how much money I’ve saved! 😅 However, it is very thin and straight as a pin…always has been. I would LOVE to have curls, but it’s not going to happen, so I now keep it in a short bob. I also use the purple shampoo to avoid the yellow that shows up periodically, but so much easier and cheaper than before. Thanks for the great video!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

It’s amazing how our hair changes throughout life, isn’t it?!

[@jackiekelso6145]

@ It sure is!!

[@phyllisarnold8614]

You look great!

[@karenwade6713]

Renee when did you start using a purple shampoo? I haven't colored my hair in over 4 years but am not fully gray. I still have a lot of brown but a lot of gray underneath and on top of my head, almost like highlights. Wondering if I need a purple shampoo once a week maybe. Thanks.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I started using purple shampoo because my white and very light grey hair was picking up a brown/yellowish hue to it from sun exposure and hair products. The purple shampoo removes those things that have built up on my hair and cause the brassiness.

[@jackiemansfield8325]

The worst thing about getting old is that I am still unwise enough to color my grey hair at 64. And it started to go grey when I was 16. Now, I have been asking God to give more wisdom to let nature takes place so I can go snow top and be proud of it! Enough of toxic product on my scalp every few weeks, and the cheap smelly shampoo from the hair salon.

[@melinakoufalis281]

You look good too now that you have more white..❤❤❤

[@KatherineNottingham]

❤❤ I came in begging you to quit dying your hair. To go natural. To present it to your community. I'm so glad that you did. I really was pushing for you to do so. I have done this for 7 years life is great there's no amount of hair dye that can ever match in aging woman's skin. You look gorgeous. Instead of fake awesome change lady.

[@kjab87]

Do you have pictures of your grow out, like half n half? Thanks!😊

[@cecilhudson1583]

Random question....what colors do you wear in the tower 28 cream blush? Thanks in advance!

[@lindahunter6600]

Morning Rene. I went gray when I first found your channel. I thought if she can do it so can I. And I’m glad I did. Coloring your hair is so over rated. I remember my scalp would burn than itch, it just drove me crazy! My hair isn’t curly. But it is short and salt and pepper. You’re right about having to change clothing colors. My favorite colors are bright and really brings out the silver in my hair. Thanks to you

[@marlenerichardson2829]

Beautiful

[@JennNChia]

I'm 50, and totally willing to be gray, but nature isn't cooperating, haha. I colored my hair from age 15 to my late 30s (because my childhood blond started to get darker), but eventually, just got sick of it and let my natural color (dark blond/light brown) grow out. I think I saw my first gray in my late 30s, and I have a few gray strands in my temples and widow's peak, which I jokingly call my "glitter." I tell people I've EARNED my gray and am not ashamed of it! But it's barely any, and you really have to be up close to see it still, at age 50. I feel like I'm getting more and more as the days go on, but it may still be several years yet before it's really noticeable? I also have waist-length straight hair, so there's a lot of color still. But I feel like gray is a sign of maturity and wisdom, and I look forward to being gray! but my mom (in her 70s) is like yours and STILL regularly colors her hair, and my mother-in-law (in her 80s) only stopped coloring maybe 2-3 years ago.

[@phyllisarnold8614]

I'm 65 and I only have a little gray blended in my blonde hair.

[@jhamp244]

I used to be about half grey. I was fine with it. But since I went on the carnivore, All of the grey is gone and I am back to my same hair color as when I was younger. I am fine with that also. I think you look much better than when you were dying it.

[@gaylewills1294]

I am carnivore 62 yrs old. Barely have a gray hair.

[@jhamp244]

@@gaylewills1294 I am 66. Good to hear I am not the only one.

[@chrystalthornton1502]

If you have a young pretty face and big expressive eyes, good color of complexion, and a healthy body, then go for it. You'll most likely be fine. As for me, I'm naturally very pale and not so young anymore. When I'm out walking, kind ladies stop in their cars and ask me if I need help. Apparently I look as if I've wandered away from the nursing home and need assistance finding my way back. I'm 81 and I do get a good laugh out of it.

[@kates6793]

Here’s what I struggle with. My hair is pretty thin and when I’ve tried to go grey it seems to look thinner then I give up.

[@pjgraham2211S0]

Hooray joico… 30 year product and color user… tip:.. if your hair builds to much color (purple) you can mix it equal parts + - with joico k-pak or other shampoo in the palm of your hand and still follow instructions on leaving it in. I have hi lighted gray hair and it helps blend the blond with the gray… my gray is very white.

[@jonmariejacobs8887]

My grey ages me horribly! It doesn’t go with my skin tone. SO I’ll have to wait until I don’t care that I look old! 😅

[@Ekumesvlogs]

I am going 37, grey hair scattering all around my head perimeter 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
