Growing out grey hair at 36?

Here I share my story of growing out grey hair. My grey hair transition started when I was 36. I colored my hair last time in February 2019. Here I share the styles that helped me to grow out grey hair, and how I started growing out grey hair cold turkey, via the pixie cut.

Your skin is so peachy and luminous the greys make NO difference. I think great skin with grey hair looks soo chic and aristocratic. Proud of you for overcoming all your insecurities and coming out from your journey looking gorgeous!

I’m 35 and am beginning my transition it’s great to see a transition from someone closer to my age range. Thanks for sharing 😎.

You are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your story. I've been growing out my hair since April 2020. I'm 53 and I've been hiding my grays since 30. I was getting so tired of dying my roots - they would start showing within two weeks. I decided to go for it in the midst of the pandemic when I saw other women going gray. I've kept my long hair, so it's been a slooooooooooow and painful process, but I'm getting there. I had my hair dyed an auburn color - now my color looks somewhat like yours. I don't know how I feel about it, but I like that the hair that's grown in is healthier and softer. Also, I noticed that my hair grew in thicker in some areas where it seemed to be thinning. I like that part very much. I'm committed to seeing it through. So, we will see.

I , just last week, decided to start my transition to gray. I last colored my hair on July 20, 2022. I wore my hair in a pony tail on Friday to work, because I woke up to our water being turned off due to leak, so I could not wash my hair. I got several compliments on my gray hair which showed more since my hair was in a ponytail. I have an appointment on Wednesday to discuss my options with a hairdresser. I either want to add highlights or lowlights, or do ribbons of gray in my hair to transition a little quicker rather than letting it grow out on its own. My husband told me that he would be okay with me going in and coming out gray all at once. He'd love it. We shall see. I have been dying my hair, which is medium brown , for years......so many I forgot. I am really tired of dying it. I gave up using any heat products on my hair a little over a year ago. So I do not blow dry, use curling iron or flat iron my hair anymore. My hair is naturally wavy. I just get up, wash, scrunch with my fingers a little and go. It has saved me so much time doing away with the heat products. I am super excited about going gray.

I’m 38 and starting my gray process!! It’s so exciting to watch the change happen and look forward to getting to know my authentic hair. Thank you for your video! I especially loved how real you were when talking about not feeling very pretty during certain stages. That’s just reality, right!? ☺️

I've been transitioning for 6 months now. My daughter thinks it looks lovely. I'm at the scruffy stage but I'm holding on and there's no way I'll be dying it again. Stay safe huni xx

44...I'm sick of dying my hair every 2 months, so exhausting. I have locks and need to use 4 bottles of dye to cover. No, I've had enough and embracing my reality.

Hi , I grew it my hair 3.5 years ago, I didn’t cut my hair, and now it is salt and pepper mix , all my dyed hair is gone , I had been dying my hair since I was 16 , I am 56 , and I love my hair xx

[@kd2533]

I've started mine 4 months ago at 40. It's made me change more things like quitting stressful office job to become a cleaner. Liberating!

[@FCPA1997]

Your hair looks great! I also notice a lot less hair loss since I stopped dying it as well. Lots of baby hair growing in also. I stopped dying 5 months ago.

[@carolbierman2910]

The grey lighter undertone definitely complements your skin tone. Also, with your face shape, a bob cut would look amazing.

[@karenm1965]

It’s truly beautiful 🥰 Thank you for sharing. I am considering growing out my gray. I already have a short hair style. After coloring my hair since high school and wanting to be more free in all ways, I am binge watching transitioning to gray hair videos-so… I really appreciate your real talk and attitude and tips! 💗

[@maggie0285]

I can understand you feeling prettier going grey. You feel better on the inside.

[@kathrynp7595]

You have beautiful skin and love your grey hair style 🌸 I have been growing out my hair for 14 months and it is a very light silver, love it 🥰

[@yosoykarito]

New sub here!^^ I love it when I find new silver sisters ❤

34 male. First noticed some grays at like 16, but I was/am a Goth - so I regularly dyed my hair BlueBlack (naturally dark brown). Really started noticing gray roots in my early 20s. I started working in healthcare - so I wear a cap everyday - because of that I stopped heat treating and dying as often. Then the pandemic hit. I stopped coloring and heat treating altogether. So for the first time since I was like 13 - I have totally virgin hair. Totally salt and pepper. I love it

[@kjo9982]

I love it on you! You look great! Just started my journey 5 weeks ago, I’m 36 but have been dying my hair constantly since I started going gray at 23. Also a Canadian 🇨🇦
