Great ideas Sharon! Love your videos! Your philosophy on aging is helping me come to terms with it; I have been really struggling. Seeing you accepting and going with the flow is such a wonderful change of pace from our cultural messages.

[@twominutetips]

cellgrrl Thank you for saying so. It can be a struggle if we let it, but together we can hopefully change it with a change of view.

[@marylouartist]

Your videos are so good. Because of you I feel good at 66. Because of your videos I can apply make up and love styling my hair. I love every styling tip you have posted. Thank you!

[@twominutetips]

Thank you so much Mary Lou LaBerge for taking the time to say so. I really appreciate it.

[@KM-nq7ez]

Never thought of making a “bump it “out of my own hair that falls out!!! Brilliant.😁

OMG Your grey hair is gorgeous. I'm going natural and this video ROCKS thank you so much.

[@twominutetips]

+Shaded Moon You are most welcome. Congratulations on your decision to embrace your gray.

Thank you T Young for your kind words

[@hazelknutt2118]

Oh yes ! Im on the back side of 50 ish and just getting my first gray!....thank you for the time and effort you put into your tips ! I've enjoyed them greatly.

[@twominutetips]

Rebecca Rost Thank you Rebecca - glad you enjoy.

[@lokisfriend]

Great tips, I have started ordering all my pieces in white and then toning them to match my hair since it is an ever changing lightening process. Synthetic hair takes toner very well and you can actually remove and lighten the piece since toner is not permanent.

[@twominutetips]

Wonderful - good for you irishwench333

I'm excited as I just purchased a blonde real Remy 1 yard weft. I'm in the UK and couldn't find a grey weft, so I washed the blonde in blue shampoo, then toned it with conditioner and some neon blue non permanent dye to get a pale grey, it looks beautiful! Can't wait to make into extensions or a halo type single extension, although my own grey hair is not quite long enough yet! Love your tips!!

[@twominutetips]

Susan Mochrie Many thanks Susan. Bravo that you've found a way to get what you needed. I had a halo extension once and I found that the weight of the hair and the fineness of the thread/wire cut into my scalp so I've used clips-ins ever since. And I only use 3 - back and sides so it works for my needs. Would love to hear how your halo turns out. Thanks again.

[@pamelacaldwell6362]

Great ideas Sharon well done as always.. Thank you for sharing.

[@debrawindle-smith2313]

Miss seeing your videos... always helpful

[@susanc.3771]

This is a great video on extensions. I've seen several of your videos, but I haven't seen one in which you mention toppers. So I thought I would mention how nice they are and easy they are to wear. I have very thin hair and have to wear a topper. They do make them for gray hair and I think this would be a great option for ladies who have alopecia, extremely thin hair, and also for ladies who are growing out their natural gray and still have some dye on the ends. They are very comfortable and they aren't hot and scratchy like wigs. Thank you for all your great videos! I'm learning so much and my make is looking much better!

[@twominutetips]

TY Susan and yes, I totally agree that toppers are fabulous for oh so many practical and fun reasons. So glad the videos are helpful.

[@BND58469]

Hi Susan. Do you know of anyone who sells grey and/or salt & pepper and/or silver toppers please? I've been looking but so far haven't found any. Thank you :)

[@susanc.3771]

Wig Pro Top Blend makes gray and salt and pepper toppers. You can get them from Vouge WIgs on the Internet. They may have more brands if you search the site. One thing about these synthetic toppers is that they're aren't heat resistant, so you really need to take them off when you use the oven.

[@BND58469]

[@TheYorkshirelady]

Hi Sharon, I'm so excited to have found your videos, I've learnt so much from you, and am looking forward to trying a topper to make a thicker fringe ( bangs) . Thank you so much. I'm over here in England but I guess I can buy all the products you use online. Your an inspiration. 🌟🌟🌟

[@carolmartin2503]

Thanks for all the great ideas ! This'll be fun for the recent boring 'Stay Home' days! I've been looking for a mid length beige-grey to match my hair and having trouble contacting the companies. We're quite far from any city.... and not very pleased with what the catalogs have! I'll keep trying.

[@Hunnie_B]

Hey Sharon.......these are awesome tips for extensions when going gray. I have a short pixie cut, but still loved watching this video. Love your gray hair, very becoming on you....thanks for sharing, take care.

[@twominutetips]

Thanks Hunnie B Did you know that even with a pixie cut little extensions can also be added for volume - if you need it? Just sharing. ;)

[@Hunnie_B]

twominutetips Really.......even with a pixie ! I have never used extensions, but yes, at times I would love a little volume because I don't have thick hair. Funny how when I was young ( I'm 59 ) I had long straight hair in the 60's and 70's, and never thought of volume, now it's a whole different story lol. Might take a look into short extensions, thanks Sharon.

[@twominutetips]

Hunnie B YW - and you know where I am if you have questions.

[@milels6917]

Hi yes you held wide strip with dark u have just shown wish i could get them in England thanks so much love to grow below shoulder le can't wait u have given me such a lot of tips wish i had left coulers off longer as I love my silvery hair

[@twominutetips]

Mil Els wonderful and so glad to be of help

[@madelinebailey1037]

Been looking for someone doing this for a long, long time and finally found you. I'm into fashion, makeup, and hairstyles. I know people give up but for me it's been opposite. When I was younger I had so many responsibilities that I didn't have 2 minutes or 2 cents to bother with myself. Now I finally have time to indulge in all my beauty and fashion interests. And I have alot of questions for you please. How about Diane Keaton? The best grey ever! What are her hairdresser's secrets? The grey I have now is not a pretty grey like yours. It's a long story but the color has to be fixed once. I'm going to bleach it out just once, and go white. That's why I'm here tonight, to make sure I get it right. A good video idea? After white, I can grey it to match the new growth. Another good video idea? I have some grey and learned what to do from all the girls going grey. Thank god for that trend. But people aren't covering grey to grey, etc. Or are you into never dye your hair? I've been living in scarfs as a wide headband. It helps with fullness as one can push all the hair to the back, and gives the viewer some visual relief from my awful hair color. a good video idea? I love your hair extension and buns. A lot of your links for in hair don't work any more but I went to Amazon, found the hair extension and fake bangs that got good reviews and just bought them. They are cheap so what if it turns out to not work. Like I said, this is the time of my life to have fun with appearance. I'd like to take one hair extension and make a braid to try your styles. Can you go over how to do that? Maybe it's simple but they make the best videos. Also, can you go over how to make the bun thing again? You just said it like we would get it. Sorry, but I don't get it? Plus I don't have much hair there, it's almost a bald spot, so I wonder if bobby pins will work? I'd like to find something. By the way, an old age thing one can say. "You may be (richer, smarter, prettier) but I'm morally superior." LoL

[@FollowScripture]

Great idea !can always trim the bottom length to fit & not move them down

[@twominutetips]

Yes you can - another option.

[@jcricket1001]

How do you make a bump-it out of the hair in your brush? How do you add volume to the top of your head so scalp doesn’t show? How do you put your hair up with volume for playing active sports and not have the bumps or extensions fall out? Thanks, I wish you also worked with red hair people. I’d love to find someone like you that helps re heads. I’d love to find a way to help me transition from my colored red hair to my what-I-assume-will-be white hair without a stark change when I stop coloring my hair. I’m new to all this so I’m learning a lot from you.

[@twominutetips]

Pat Hughes - please check out my "Hairstyling Playlist" AND my "Extensions Playlist" for answers to all your questions. It doesn't matter what colour your hair is, just let it grow in. And yes, if you've been colouring your hair there will be a demarcation line, but please remember this hair STYLE is far more important than hair COLOUR. Check out my own transition where I kept my long, auburn coloured hair in the process. www.youtube.com/watch? v=BzJqAqAdC2c

[@teresahaven9222]

You mentioned how much synthetic wigs have improved. My 10 year old grandson had been playing with my hair, just running his fingers thru it, and wanted to look closer at a very cheap wig I had bought off Amazon. He got a hold of the wig and couldn't believe how it felt just like my own hair. My younger grandsons actually were afraid of the wig, I finally was able to understand them enough to realize they basically thought I had scalped someone. Funny now. It wasnt then

[@twominutetips]

Oh dear Teresa Haven - that WOULD be scary for the little tykes

[@teresahaven9222]

[@almacohen7952]

Sharon I just discovered your videos and have to tell I was binge watching..couldn't get enough of your tips..I did have a question on facial hair. I have so much peach fuzz. I'm 66 and have been tempted to take it off but am so afraid to because I'm afraid to end up with a 5 o'clock shadow as I have seen so many women who have decided to just shave... I let someone wax it once and that was a disaster with red itchy bumps for weeks. Any recommendations?

[@twominutetips]

Shaving is best or lazer removal, but check with a dermatologist with that and see what they say. And thank you Alma - glad you are enjoying.

[@moyrahood]

I’ve used an epilator with the ‘face’ attachment for years, it’s brilliant, very painful the first time but as the hair weakens with continued removal it ends up being pain free. I do the same with legs and underarms, bikini etc. In fact my underarm hair has virtually stopped growing and there’s no shadow or stubble. I’ve never known why everyone doesn’t do it. Ingrown hairs can be a problem on the legs and bikini line for the first few weeks but persevere and it will stop. None of the mess of waxing but with the same result.

[@milels6917]

I can't find the strip of hair you show think I will have also try and diy them but I can get synthetic will they take the diy?

[@twominutetips]

I'm not sure what strip of hair you are talking about Mil Els - do you mean the extension?

[@eileenlangdon3111]

Just love watching you. You are an inspiration as I’m growing out my grey. Could you demonstrate how you made the two toned extension. I also don’t know how I would apply a grey extension to my brown hair so that I can minimize the grow out stripe. Thank you 💖 Eileen

Are all of the extensions in this video from Uniwigs? I went to one of the other sites and it is so confusing! My hair is almost completely "white silver" now. Is the 90% the one you mention has the yellowish cast? Thanks in advance!

[@twominutetips]

+Stephanie Young Yes it has a yellowish cast. And yes the hair in these videos is from Uniwigs coupled with a layer of white synthetic for blending.

[@susanpearce3208]

Very, very informative. Thank you!!! :-)

[@maryblueyes41]

I am having a hard time finding gray extensions. I tried the links you have listed on here and they won't work anymore. Can you tell me where I can purchase them? Uniwigs doesn't carry the gray. Are your extensions, synthetic or human hair ? Thanks for any help you can give.

[@twominutetips]

maryblueyes41 I hear you loud and clear. They are soooooo hard to find. Two suggestions, get blonde or the lightest human hair you can and take it to a salon to be died to colour match your gray. Two, purchase the "Taylor" wig in Silver Stone at Godiva Secret Wigs and take it apart to make your extensions. Hope that helps.

[@maryblueyes41]

Thanks for answering so quickly...I am doing a search to find more options...The Taylor wig is priced beyond my means, so will continue the search elsewhere.

[@twominutetips]

Sorry that wasn't an option. Check into heat friendly fibres - they are really good these days and I believe the Taylor is that kind.

[@margereynolds1406]

I want to go gray. I am 76 I am tired of coloring my hair so I am ready to go gray. My hair is short and very thin.

Dry shampoo will take the shine out of extensions

Yes and like everything it all depends how much you use and your technique. I wouldn't recommend using it for this purpose
