I’m five months in to going gray/silver! Wow can’t believe the negative comments people make! I definitely going to continue I’m doing this for me, thanks for this wonderful attitude! 💖

[@amycorley1658]

As a gray/white haired woman, I can tell you it it very liberating to not be tied to the dye. Mother nature does know what she is doing!

[@jeanphilpot350]

Thank you, Monique! I had beautiful auburn hair all my life. Then, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. When my hair fell out, I was told if you don.t dye it when it grows back in, it will be grey and straggly. I was scared. However, my hair grew back salt and pepper grey and I love it! People kept asking when I was going to dye it. I said never! I get so many compliments. No more hair dye , I am alive and so grateful. I agree with everything you said. It is really ridiculous the stigma that society puts on women and how they look. My hair is a daily affirmation of what I have endured. You look just lovely❤️

[@amyralls6218]

Monique, your hair is absolutely beautiful! Any man who has you on his arm should consider himself very lucky!!!

[@marilena6037]

Men get called Silver Fox's. You are right about the double standard. There are women in my workplace who are over 55 and don't color their hair and to me they stand out as some of the most attractive women in this workplace. They have inspired me to be natural with my hair color.

[@shirlynssleeved1188]

I love my "silver" & get stopped all the time asking me what color I use. Was so liberating to stop coloring and looking back can't imagine how many toxins I've soaked up in the last 40 years. I did have to cut my hair fairly short to get rid the darker blond. The only recommendation I have for anyone is to make sure you keep a modern or current hairstyle.

[@GretchenVaughn]

Shirlyn's Sleeved That's wonderful advice! I have a trendy pixie cut and when I look in the mirror, I still look younger than my age.

[@giseleforcier5483]

Because I saw you videos 2 yrs ago I decided to grow grey I am 68. I will never go back to being dark haired. I just love it!

Thank you for this video. At 45 I am at the start of my gray journey and am so excited.

[@kw8501]

This is so bang on Monique! Everything you said explains all the things I experienced in my four year journey to hip length white hair. I've experienced the rudest people and the most complimentary people. I get positive comments on my hair almost daily from perfect strangers. Screw the mouthy, opinionated, and rude people and be confident and rock that gray hair! It's one of the best things I've ever done! 😘

[@brittanied.9509]

The gray is stunning on you, it’s grown in so nicely, loving the length. That magenta color you’re wearing is also beautiful on you.

[@rlms56]

Monique, you were my inspiration to embrace my gray hair. I started going gray at 30 and was totally gray by 40. I’m now 61. Two months ago I stripped my hair of color (brown): bleached it then dyed it gray. Now I’m not worried about my gray roots showing and I love my hair.

[@vcjtx]

I did the extreme haircut method - Chopped off my dyed auburn hair to a Susan Powter length! I kept trimming it as the gray grew out & soon it was gray all over and I could grow the length. I love my gray hair!

Beautiful hair color, grey makes your face glow

[@greenpurl8482]

I found my first gray hair at 21. Actually, it was my college roommate who found it and plucked it out without my knowledge or permission. I was more upset by her action of assuming that I would not want it than I was by its presence. From that moment on, I could not wait to turn gray. I tried going natural, but found that the few gray strands in my 30s really aged me and looked dowdy and unkempt, so I began to color. My hair grows more quickly than most people, as I had to dye it every 10 days - 2 weeks. Around age 41, my hairdresser and I decided there was enough gray (>50%) to go for it. Growing it out was unpleasant - I am short, so my "skunkline" was visible to everyone who towers above me. I just had to suck it up for a few months. When the day finally arrived, my hairdresser cut off the colored part of my hair, leaving me with a short pixie that was silver and gray with some of my natural brown. The response was immediate and positive. 18 years later, I am rocking shoulder-length bright silver hair. I have been stopped so often by young women who ask who does my color. (My answer is always "God!") I am flattered that a business colleague told me that seeing my hair encouraged her to stop coloring. I am now 60 with great skin (no one believes my age) so the hair color is just that - a hair color. It is in great condition, thick and shiny and I love it. I have fair skin and green eyes and find my hair is so flattering to my natural coloring. I am challenged now that gray hairs are popping up in my brown eyebrows, but am finding taupe pencils are working so far. As far as dating, I seem to attract more younger men than ones my own age. Hmmm.

[@sweetaudrina_]

You are absolutely gorgeous! I'm in love with your look.

[@judithanndohar]

Monique as I said before, I found your video's when I decided to go gray. You were such a big help to me. Truly. Also your beauty encouraged and continues to encourage me. You look good, maybe we can too! It's been 2 years now and I am happy with my decision. You are right it wasn't always easy, that's for sure. Thanks for the encouragement and the realism. You know, you are blessed with an openness and an acceptance that translates to a kind of love. I hope that love and acceptance always comes back to you tenfold. Rock on !

[@classyhk9624]

YASSS!!! You are so on point and on time for me. At 67 I have decided to go COMPLETELY grey on my 68th birthday in a couple months. My 1/4 inch roots are showing now. i have been doing research on "going grey" and have decided (for me) to grow out my grey hair under various styles of wigs. I have always been a changer of hairstyles and colors since I was in my early twenties. My mom had gorgeous silver grey hair but hated it so she dyed it. In transition I will also take advantage of the many highlighting and coloring options you have spoken about. It is somewhat different for me since I am also growing out a perm into a "natural" curl pattern. How much natural can ya get than white? So, that is my plan for going through and into the "grey veil". I am thinking of doing a written journal with pix. Perhaps I will post it when I'm done so that others may take courage to travel the the feminine road to the blank slate (as I like to call white/grey hair) or "old age" (as others less informed may say). YOU ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION. Rock on Lady! Smooches.

Monique, I started going Grey in my early 20’s. I am now almost 54. I started thinking about letting my grey grow out about a year ago. I found your channel and it gave me the courage to actually let it grow out. I want to thank you so much for helping me to have the courage to go natural and I am loving it. I am now 7 months of no coloring and I am loving it! I am using some rinses and things like that to help tone down the old colors while I grow it out. Thank you!!!!

[@paulsidney77]

Monique I think you look amazing with your natural hair tone. I’m 40 and went silver when I was 16. I’m now about 90% white. I think women look amazing with silver hair so keep it up !

I forgot to measure the social measure of woman going grey but, I completely understand the diffraction between man and woman.

Yaasss!! My high school senior photo has me with dyed hair, too!! At 17 it had gotten to the point where I couldn't continue to "yank out" those white hairs, because my hairline was receding from all that pulling!! I, too, stopped dying at 50, and fully embrace my silver hair now (I'm 63). My favorite part of this video (and I LOVED all of it!!) was when you said your viewers were "grown-ass women"!! You got THAT right!! It's my hair, and I love it!! If someone else DOESN'T, then they should stop freakin' looking at it!! #GrownAssWoman

[@SABOREAME68]

It strikes me funny, that you're touching this subject since I recently went from soft brown to White Snow. Having said that, I think I'm out of the norm, and I say this because most of my friends and my hairstylist said to me why do you want to look older? However, once I got it done all white now people say you look even younger! I love your gray/white hair it makes you look more exquisitely glamorous... Abrazos y OLE~

[@womanofacertainage5892]

I truly don't believe it makes anyone look "older." No one is really fooling anyone when they are over 50 or 60 and you have zero gray. That would be very unusual. :) So to me, it just made me feel and look inauthentic (when I was still coloring). I A D O R E my platinum hair!!!!

[@tarasullivan4211]

Agreed! I get stopped often by people who compliment/ask about my hair. I stopped the coloring drudgery when I was 40 and have never regretted it. Glad I didn’t listen to those who warned me of “looking older”. They were absolutely wrong.

I used a Color remover from Walmart to take the brown away. It worked like a charm! Some yellowing, but used purple shampoo and it knocked down the yellow. Then I had my hair cut as I usually did... After 2 hair cuts, it was all mine... I found out I was white in the front that blended to dark gray in the back. I have people asking who my hairdresser was and did I know what products she used to get my hair the way it was? I told her my hairdresser is God and mother nature!

[@Pussycatfeathers]

Did the colour remover take out all the dye from months of dying, and you were left with grey or peppered hair?

[@hairrum]

@@Pussycatfeathers Did you ever get an answer

[@Pussycatfeathers]

@@hairrum i didnt but ive used colour B4 at least 4 times and its worked well every time removing the colour but leaving it fairly patchy and never going back to my original colour (hard to remember what that is though?)......its a very time consuming process because of all the rinsing but ive also had it turn dark again immediately because i didnt rinse properly or long enough...all in all though its a great product to get rid of unwanted colour and hair, though a little dry at first, soon recovers

I love you so much! I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate you and your honesty. I’m 51 and eight months into my transition (for the fourth time). I’m not giving in this time around. I came across your vid with the pink wig. I watched it because I thought it was so cool! Then I discovered that your channel was dedicated to your silver journey. I fell down the rabbit hole that day. I watched most of your videos and discovered others as well. Then found support groups on Facebook. I spent the entire day feeling validated and building my resolve to stick with my journey. I even found the strength to share a “revealing” pic of my growth on Instagram and just posted my first vid about my journey, today. I have you to thank for that. Had I not come across your video last week, I would be Auburn again. (I was really having a hard time and was about to cave until I found you by “accident.”) Thank you, again. From one silver sister to another. You rock!! Xoxo

Hey Monique! I’ve been watching you off and on for several years... primarily on the silver hair process. I’m joining you on the silver journey. I’ve been coloring since age 21 and at age 56, I’m done! I think I’m nearly 100% silver in the front and likely 60% to 80% silver in the back. I’d love it if you would re-tell your silver story ... I’ve seen you cry and celebrate on your channel and have appreciated your truth telling. Continued good health and beauty to you😘

[@happygirl6521]

Monique I dyed my hair just before I saw your first video, that was a year and a half ago! I bought the dyes (takes 4 boxes to do this long, thick hair) and they are still sitting under my sink.

Thank you for putting it out there, for allowing us on your journey. Thank you for your inspiration and pep talks! Much love

Me too , I'm about two months regrowth . I'm not liking the contrast of the white roots around the front with my brown dyed hair .It seems to be salt and pepper on the roots at the back ,which I'd be happy with .I might have to think about 'stripping' the colour so not such a contrast ,but worried about the condition of the hair afterwards . Still early days and still positive it will look great in the end :-)

[@jessicathompson8231]

@@kimmarie9919 I am at this exact point right now, with same colors and coloring history. I'm researching trying to figure out how to best navigate this journey to grey. I'm also thinking of stripping the (years & years) of brown dye using Vitamin C tablets and shampoo (found method on YT) to reveal hopefully close to whatever my natural color is now (?)... it looks to be a bit salt and pepper on the half inch of roots I have showing. But, like you, I'm apprehensive about what shape my hair will be in after stripping it. Did you end up stripping out your color or not? If so, what did you use? I'm just curious about the results of a fellow going-silver traveler who (was) in a similar situation. ☺ Thanks!

The habit to Dye itches on me sometimes, so I buy wigs... My hair finally sparkles, long before I make-up. At 66, glad I listened to your channel last year. And bleaching out is the most decisive method to facilitate the change.

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

Beth Parker I fear bleaching being brown haired and never did dye it. People said I would probably fry my hair trying blonde so just going a bit darker instead. Makes my hair look a little thicker since fine hair soaks up dye easier.

J Moore . I know it's all scary and it can be too expensive. But I remember Monique showed her hair first cut short then lightened, maybe it was couple of years ago. And I did a copy-cat of her, to celebrate my retirement. Have a great day

J Moore - Started greying heavily at 16 (genetic, my parents, siblings as well) so I always dyed my hair. I went from dyed black to platinum in one day, no damage. I was a professional hair/mu artist at time but have seen great salon results as well! Bleach will make your hair appear thicker as well. Do it in steps if you’re scared to bleach at once.

Monique, you were my inspiration to go silver. I am so very happy I did! My gray hair is gorgeous like yours. Never loved a color more. Thank you for being strong and courageous. Love you girl, and thank you for your support!!!!!

[@mindjoystudio6436]

Your hair, your make-up, your skin, your eyes, your voice. It is a jealousy-inducing package. You are beautiful and thank you for going gray. And thank you for representing someone who does their own thing against other people's opinions. I grew out my dry, colored hair a couple of years ago. What sold me when it began to grow out (against all the negativity from other people) was how incredibly SOFT and healthy and natural it looked and felt. I was in love with the natural beauty factor of it all. Love your videos. Thank you for your help and your honesty.

[@nicholadawn9149]

Wow you're beautiful hair!!

[@hannahruth3993]

[@peterh.6670]

Did you use anything to get your hair that color grey? Stunning!!!

[@eiyiyiyi]

Love, love, love this!!!!! My favorite comment that I get is "oh I love your hair, wish I had the courage to go white but I don't want to look old." Last time I heard it I just burst out laughing and said "too late".

Eileen Ramspacher great response:)

[@KODoch48]

😂😂😂! Perfect! ... And they deserved it!

[@Pussycatfeathers]

thats quite a mean reply to someone whos giving you a compliment?!!

[@krystalcarey]

@@Pussycatfeathers yep, so mean. I was thinking the same thing.

[@Mar-velousMarlenak8]

@@Pussycatfeathers that's not an actual complement. It's what is considered a backhanded complement. An insult hidden in passive aggressiveness.

[@blackraven4756]

Probably the best ever KZbin video made! You deserve an Oscar for this one. You are so wise, sensible, deep, convincing and just fantastic! I wish I had the courage and hair to go all grey, but my pepper &salt color is right out extremly horrible to my complexion/eyes) so I am back to deep brown. And my daughters begged on their knees not to go grey. But so many women rocks it!!

[@sveana]

You are beautiful. It helps when your hair goes grey. Some of us must sort of add upp all our features to be in this "beauty balance" in order not to look drab and old... But kudos to you, for taking this stand.

[@CandCbyPegi]

I am so lucky to have come across your videos here on KZbin, Last week I decided to go grey. I am actually buying products to help me this weekend. I am very lucky because my husband supports my decision 1000% Thank you for giving all of us Silver Bells a voice.

I’m 57 and still have a lot of dark in my hair. My hair is curly & I will probably just let it grow out. I did get it cut short with layers & I get compliments all the time. When it was longer it just was dry and nasty because of the grey hair. I wanted it to grow long for the last time, but I got it cut because of a bad hair cut. I just said cut it off. But you really help me out because looking back at pictures it was ratty. Society sucks. But you really encourage me. I love your channel! ❤️

[@kham7571]

Great conversation Monique. You are one of my role models when it came to ditching the hair dye! You look stunning, and I love your back-round in this video, peonies? Some people have told me I look younger now, so how did I look before ?! Scary 😱. My son says I look more tan, never thought it might be related to positive complexion changes sans the dye.

[@vox8md]

You are such a beautiful woman BECAUSE of your gorgeous gray!

[@dharlander59]

I love you to pieces. You are completely on point. I was exactly like you, silver before 20. I dyed my hair until 50. When I made the decision I never looked back. Not an easy decision, but in a way it was so freeing. You have been such an inspiration to me. Hugs and love to you.

[@traceygervais5452]

You are absolutely stunning, thank you for the information. I have chosen to go gray after 27years of dying. Thank you for showing Hollywood and the world we are more than our hair color.

[@LM-ko9tm]

Thank you for posting this video! Because of you, I’ve started my transition to silver and I’m loving it!

[@JaynePR11]

Great video, Monique! Thanks for including Roux Fanci-Full!

[@rainnyryan8632]

Thank you!!! I love my silver hair. Love for it to go from salt and pepper to completely silver.

[@Lisa-wn9mu]

I loved this! I am currently debating making the commitment to quit dying my roots every 2-3 weeks and start my journey. Your video has been informative, thought provoking and humorous. I think you're stunning and want to thank you for posting this.

[@heatheranderson436]

Thank you Monique! You have life affirming ideas and I am thankful for all of your positive input.

[@robynwilliams993]

I’ve been going naturally grey for about 6 months. I just throw a violet toner on to remove the yellow tinge every month. It’s so freeing not to worry about it anymore. You know the monthly coloring to cover the grey! I’m embracing it!!

[@belladonna70]

grey is a soft flattering gentle colour , my roots about 4 inches now,love it
