Negative Comments About Grey Hair || How To Respond To Negative Comments || Grey Hair || Over 40

Hi there,
For many of my sisters who are on the journey to embracing their natural hair, i'm sure that you may have come across at least one of the comments in this video. In this video I share how I would respond, this doesn't make it the right way, however if you're anything like me, I find that many a times I have walked away from comments and wishing later I had said 'this or that'! Did I miss anything ? I hope you find this video helpful please comment, like and don't forget to subscribe and remember.... Grey Is Okay x

[@ItsAshley08]

It Looks beautiful. You look classy and beautiful. As we age, out skin tone changes and the gray matches better to our skin than the fake hair dye. Looks Great!

[@TheGreyIndian]

Thank you - I agree, there is definitely a different glow to women once they embrace their natural selves x

[@RS54321]

Yep, I cringe internally when I see older women with super dark dyed hair...it's way too dark for their paler skin tone.

[@rainy.d7404]

It's like saying : " Why are you not doing something about those wrinkles on your face, they age you?" We are living in a fake society. I feel like grey hair makes a big statement about being authentic, this is why i love it.

[@Amy-fk5we]

Omg I loooove your come back response! I’ll use it 😂 I finally found my first white hairs and I totally embrace them! I’m just lucky to still be alive to see them at 30. I know lots of people my age that are already gone.

[@Mira-pm3ni]

​@@Amy-fk5we someone once made a comment on Facebook that growing old is a privilege and blessing . Many young people haven't made it to old age . It really stuck in my mind . It changed my perspective towards old age or ageing . She made that comment because people were giving negative and nasty comments on ageing actresses .

My "friend" told me I have granny hair and that no man will date me now. Women say the meanest things to each other. Like, why do they care?! It's just hair. If I get bored with my grey I'll just dye it. I would never tell a woman to put on lipstick or else she's not pretty enough to date.

[@TheGreyIndian]

Some people just dont think before talking, not much of a friend if she puts you down like that (in my opinion) people just need to let people be xx

[@Mmmmkaaay]

@@TheGreyIndian exactly. Maybe because she's a hairdresser? 🤣

[@TheGreyIndian]

@@Mmmmkaaay That could be a reason, some hairdressers are great, but some are very close minded x

[@RS54321]

What?! That is awful! I'm wondering if she was projecting her own insecurities/fears onto you? Not a cool "friend" to say that.

[@Mmmmkaaay]

@@RS54321 Yeah she's not my friend anymore. I told her I refuse to hang out with mean girls.

[@josryder7841]

I love your style! I go back and forth with allowing my grey hairs to just be...I’m in my 40’s and I do want to have time to “grow into my grey” That was a good point! I DON’T think at 54 its going to be any easier so I guess I better get used it now! I also think women are secretly intimidated with other woman that are free! They wish they could have that freedom

[@TheGreyIndian]

I think if it feels right Jos then yes, do it. There are a number of reasons other women feel so offended, but that’s their problem right! X

[@sherryk6703]

I started going gray in 2019. I was so surprised at the amount of gray I had since I never allowed it to be seen and did my roots so very often. It was not my time and I continued with the dye. Then 5 months ago, I realized that was it and I had to quit. The first three months are the hardest. But I wore a ponytail and ignored it. Oh I also do a tiny little part of my crown in the part. This helped me not to focus on it often. After four months growth, it actually started making me happy when I saw the grays coming out. It is now sort of a fun experience to see the gray patterns as it lengthens.

[@renren7233]

My new college had seen my photo's with dyed hair and said: OMG you look so young with brown hair....... But those pictures show not my grey mark after two weeks and how thin my hair was. I really had to say to myself : NO, my hair is more beautiful without me dying it. But it hurts a little...I am whole grey now, have a pixie cut and letting it grow again. I am 49 years old bye the way and yes, I don't look 30 anymore, but I am also not 30 anymore.... I am now dreaming about long beautiful grey hair :)

[@littlebird8837]

I'm fed up of colouring my hair...the chemicals are so harsh. Thank you for helping me stick with the transition to my natural soft grey 🌟🦢💜

[@donnafaithk-brooks8467]

Many of the chemicals in hair dye are carcinogenic!: Para-Phenylenediamine (PPD): PPD is a common ingredient in permanent hair dyes and has been associated with allergic reactions. While there is some evidence suggesting a possible link between PPD and certain types of cancer, more research is needed to establish a definitive connection. Resorcinol: Resorcinol is another chemical found in hair dyes, particularly in darker shades. It has been classified as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). However, the risk is considered low, and the evidence is not conclusive. Ammonia: Ammonia is frequently used in hair dyes to help open the hair cuticle and allow color to penetrate. It is not considered to be carcinogenic on its own. However, it can release potentially harmful fumes, which may irritate the respiratory system.

[@julielett4337]

My mom said you will be white headed when I told her I was going gray in the fall 2019. I had just turned 49. She just asked a couple of weeks ago, if I had colored my hair. I told her no, this is my natural grey hair. She said it looked pretty.

[@TheGreyIndian]

Aah shes loving it!!! Thats must have been so nice to hear. The early days really are the toughest but after that grey hair really does look amazing

[@mariaboyd5581]

I started my grey hair journey 4 yrs ago, and I have yet to get any negative comments from anyone. I get so many compliments from both men, women, and even got one from a little girl (age: about 8yrs old). She was so sweet, I was walking out of the grocery store and she was with her mom and little brother. She looks at me and points right at me and loudly says, "you have grey hair! it looks nice" and mom, says "yes I agree" lol

[@Charalldredge]

I have experienced the same! Compliments from women and men. Women tend to stare and I think it is because they wonder how they will look.

[@merckury]

My experience has been the same... random strangers (ranging from similar aged women thinking of doing it themselves, to even teenaged boys that just think it looks cool!) tell me they love it. The only negative comments have come from my own (83 year old) mother, who says if she ever stops coloring her hair, we'll know she's received a terminal medical diagnosis.

[@judyconlon8418]

How refreshing!! Thank you for your supportive and helpful video. I appreciate that it’s not a product sales pitch, but an honest sharing of experience. Your focus on grays being part of natural aging encourages us to be true to our own choices for our aging process rather than be part of society’s comercial influence. This focus on the natural transition of advancing in age is very encouraging.

[@juliashaw5388]

I've had only one negative comment about growing out my silvers, and it was from my hairdresser!! She said "why on earth do you want to do that, in this day and age we have the technology to cover them you know!". Mmmm, with another hairdresser now. I was really surprised at her comment! Now I'm one year in to my journey, and can't wait to be done. Thanks for your great videos, really appreciate them💙

[@TheGreyIndian]

Such a shame experiencing this from your hairdresser and good on you for moving on and changing this. x

[@rachelvillarreal6243]

Thank you so much. I have had an awful feeling for myself. Huge anxiety regarding this subject. I am at the point where after growing my hair out for 4 yrs. Coloring it for over 20 years I feel like shaving my head...literally feel crazy because of money spent and after all my hair feels dry and moisture starved even though I use "good products " and "Wash my hair ever 3 days" ...I could go on more....it's nice to have someone like you because most of my fears are what others think and say. I love how you answer and I need to adopt your way of deflecting peoples negativity into beauty and a smile. T I can't thank you enough! You are beautiful and amazing Inside and Out

[@TheGreyIndian]

Hey Rachel, are you doing regular hair masks to rescue the damaged hair?

[@rachelvillarreal6243]

I do use mask regularly. How ever my hair is curly and frizzy if I don't use leave in Conditioners as well. I made an appointment once again..it's tomorrow. I am nervous because I do want to discuss growing out my Grey. I would like my hair dresser to go on this journey with me. We will see. Thank you for answering me. 😊

[@gravecat1902]

Oh you're just the loveliest little thing! Thank you for your encouragement. I'm on my own Journey with this and I'm so appreciative of the many women and their encouraging words. Difficult after being widowed very unexpectedly in my late 40s and I'm changing on so many levels and I'm shocked more than anything that I am doing this. There are days I waver but women like you who are beautiful and so encouraging keeps me going. By the way I understand you are a makeup artist. Your makeup and your brows are so lovely. Any tips on brows? As you know as we age they get thinner. Thank you for any advice. You're just so beautiful. God bless you.

[@TheGreyIndian]

Hi there Graved Cat, thank you for your lovely message, keep going my lovely x For eyebrows i highly suggest looking into microblading, I have that done and the time it saves me is so worth it xx

[@katiekrupa6608]

You look sooo pretty, elegant and sophisticated in grey !!!!Im 37.... starterd greyin.... I will give myself a go a few months not dying .... to see if that suit me :) dying hair is not only tiring but also destroying hair. Im a bit worried not what people say..but how I will look..... as long as i look good .... i dont care what people say :)

[@citizenjoevotes]

I have just passed a year of grow out and days ago cut my hair into a pixie to remove the old color. While I look better and more youthful with short hair, having it gray made me nervous. Your video helped me keep this dramatic change in perspective. No negative comments yet, but I have only seen people digitally. It may be different when I begin to see folks in person. 💕

[@TheGreyIndian]

Hi Melanie, I am so happy for you! I understand the nerves, you've taken taken the first step and ill be rooting for you! you got this x

[@tej6176]

You look great with your grey hair!! And you know whats even greater: You dont put those toxins or your head anymore, that can cause cancers and allergic reactions! I am 38, going grey and i dont even have a choice cause i am allergic to all sorts of hairdye. I am even allergic to plants ( henna and indigo powder is a nightmare, face got swollen. And i am not allergic to anything else, so it started with hairdyes that i got this horrible experience of a swollen face. So for me its not even an option to think about it anymore. I am even so scared for hairdyes now cause of these experiences that i avoid hairsalons cause i cant even stand the smell of hairdyes it triggers a sick feeling. And that makes it very easy for me at age 38, since that happened to me i totally relax about my greys, cause i can just be myself for the rest of my life.

[@paulainaustria9180]

03:48 - good point! Btw, you look stunning! The more women transition to grey, the less "grandma" it will be seen. Yay!

[@TheGreyIndian]

Yes, making changes and changing mindsets one day at a time. Thank you xx

[@paulainaustria9180]

​@@TheGreyIndian today a young lady complimented me for my natural grey colour. She asked me if I dyed my hair. The reason why she was so surprised was my age. Being young, in your 40's + going grey = a cool statement. You named it and it is probably the most important reason to start while you are young. Still, from what you have shared, your friends/family don't seem to be always very supporting. This can wear you down. I admire how calm you deal with negative comments and I do wish you tons of positive reactions and lots of compliments, because it suits you really well.

[@JuicyJ0y]

My first comment ever on KZbin and I couldn’t help but feel a bit teary by your elegant responses to rude comments to grey hair. 🥹🤗 I have suffered from rude comments from friends and family as well as extremely rude stares when I let it all grow out from my mid-20s as that was when I started greying and then from early-2019 I have been dyeing my greys. Hopefully one day I have the courage to just let it all be au natural again. Your videos have been like therapy to me. 🥹

[@shanab1298]

I cut my hair into a pixie. *I* love it, but some random follower on social media decided it was his business to tell me that "long hair suits you better". I'm sorry, but I didn't ask for your OPINION of my style choice. I'm married, my husband loves me and supports whatever hair/style I choose because he actually loves me. It is infuriating that people have the nerve to insult others so easily. Also, this person was shocked that I told him he was rude. "That wasn't my intention" he said. And instead of apologizing he unfollowed my account. Okay, BYE. Saved me the trouble of blocking you. Everyone, you feel free to be YOU. That's what's really beautiful! Authenticity.🙏💛

[@ziporaperel6019]

I think you look super superclassy. since many years I'm a fan of grey hair.when the person takes good care of it and is generally a well groomed person.clorhes and make up etc.in zurich I've seen many ladies with beautifully cut grey hair. I wear a wig for religious reasons. It's in my original haircolour with some Highlights. My hair now is salt and pepper and I would love to go gray.but I haven't found a wig that fits me.i need a large size.and most wigs are made average or small. When I tell my family or friends that I want to go gray,I get the same comments.

[@TheGreyIndian]

You must do what feels right for your Zipora. Trust me, one day they will all envy the fact that you embraced and transitioned way before anyone else xx

People are often truly confused when you make a decision that suffers from theirs. They have been conditioned to fear being who they really are, and your authenticity is a threat to them. You have chosen to be a silver fox, and they don't understand that confidence.

[@EmmaStephens1995]

I'm a 26 year old hair dresser, I work at a wholesaler for licensed hair professionals.. I have a silver streak in the front that is getting more and more noticeable. I have gotten a few negative comments since I started growing my natural color about a year ago. Practicing self restraint by not coloring my hair even when I really want to has been the biggest challenge. But my hair is the healthiest it's ever been. Longest it's been since cosmetology school. It's crazy to me how many silver hairs I didn't know I had cuz I would change my hair so often.

[@TheGreyIndian]

Well done for sticking it out, it can’t have been easy working as a hair professional, but you’re showing people that your hair colour does not affect how you work or how you are ❤️

I started detecting grey hair when I was 18 (hereditary, my dad was really grey when he was 21). I was bullied into dyeing it in my 30s. Now I'm really tired of it, so I've been looking at videos with brunette women who went grey. I feel motivated.

Grey hair is the natural hight light God give me, without harmful chemical. The beauty is not in the colors but styles. You are beautiful through out all stages of life. Why let the hair dye companies make profit from our hair and put a "standard" of hair beauty for us to follow, and then we all run after their advertising van ? I rather have healthy natural hair more than thin weak and bald "colored" hair.

I'm 6months into letting my grey hair and what's left of my natural colour grow out. I'm 54 and last week when I stated that I was intentionally growing out my grey to a work mate, I was told, you are too young looking to grow out your grey hair and I hate to tell you, women over 50 don't look good with long HAIR! I'm currently growing my hair and it's at waist length now and it's in lovely condition. (Had a trim last week) They laughed and told me I would look like a witch or a scaggy old tramp and continued to take the micky. I laughed it off and very nearly considered doing a henna treatment as that's all I've ever done. Then I thought no! I won't be tormented by someone who is my age, a fellow woman who dyes her hair black every two weeks to look so called young??? The moral of the story is, you are as young as you feel, stick to your own intentions, be happy that you have lived long enough to see grey hair and wise enough to embrace you own body as it is and be content. Other people's conviction about convention don't make them right. Loved this vlog, you look absolutely beautiful, simply stunning. A massive thank you from me.😘

I’m trying to grow my hair out. It has been over 2 and a half months. No more box dye for me. It’s a bit scary but it’s coming in now. Wish me luck. I’m determined. Xxx

[@geethapriyasantosh8296]

I adorn my grey hair, I'm 43 and my friend of the same age said, she doesn't want to look old before she gets old. She thought, I didn't understand her snide remarks. I said, at 43, I want to look my age not some 20 and of course not looking for validation from anyone.

I'm 42 and my boyfriend is begging me to go natural with my grey hair. I'm really thinking about doing it, I feel like I'm ready for it now.

[@desireehodge32]

I’m 42 and my name is Desiree also. I was feeling alil insecure about going gray so I search and this video came up. Maybe for a reason and my person likes just as I am also.

[@Desiareajohnson]

@@desireehodge32 hello, I'm sure it would look great on you!

I cut off about 12 inches of dark brown hair and now I have a salt and pepper bob at 44 years old. I have had some very negative remarks made including one young man at work ask me if I was going to dye it as if there was something wrong with it. I simply responded with “would you ask a man if he was going to color his hair ?” I also wanted to grow into my age with gray hair and I do think it is elegant but I am afraid I am not strong enough. I need to learn to love myself and not compare myself to what I looked like 10 years ago, and not care what people think. Your channel is helping me

[@TheGreyIndian]

Aww sorry to read this Michael, self love is already hard enough without the worries of the colour of our hair. This young guy probably didn’t even think it would offend and must have felt it was a natural question- and therein is the problem. We are the same age and just keep going lovely, it’s ok if you do change your mind just make sure it’s what you want and not succumbing to the pressures of anyone else. Your hair looks amazing on you xx

[@catialucero2373]

The more people, especially women normalize going grey, people will be less shocked and accept women going grey in their 30s and 40s. Slowly us women will dignify having grey hair 🤍🩶

[@aashkashah3]

I really like you❤.. when I saw ur hair, I was like woooow. Then I realized how coool I look with similar greys!! Never realized how good I looked. Thanks!!! U look killer sexy btw…

[@kennaoconnor4633]

I was just tired of maintaining my silver. And you’re 100% correct. I’m now taking better care of everything else while I grow out the silver. Since my hair is blonde and only darker in the back, no one has noticed my grow out and it’s been 9 months. It is absolutely liberating to not care and to still look great when I go out. Because I live where we have 4 seasons, beanie caps are super great for when I don’t want to style my hair or wash it every day. All people are are my blonde ends🥰

[@cathypeacher2114]

My sister keeps trying to get me to color my hair again. And I’ve had other people say oh I don’t like your hair gray. You should go back to coloring. Well, I’m sure my reasons are very similar to most of you ladies as to why I decided to stop coloring my hair I like it. I’ve told some of these people that one of the big reasons that I stopped coloring my hair was that in two weeks I had to do the regrowth again, and my hair was falling out more so I tell them you know what I’d rather have gray hair than no hair! I’ve noticed many women because they color their hair so much and menopause. They literally look like they’re going bald. They are thinning out so much and I think to myself are you gonna continue to color those 10 hairs you’ve got on your head. Of course I would never say that to them. My hair still sheds because I have hypothyroidism which I take medication for but it sheds a whole lot less and it’s so nice not to have to deal with colored hair that can get so dried out etc. etc. so don’t let anybody tell you you look bad if you like it, that’s all that matters.

[@natalieturner8427]

You rock! You look amazing and you offer all of us great prospective!

[@TheGreyIndian]

[@unfoldingwithgrace3640]

You are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your tips. Blessings to you.

[@TheGreyIndian]

Thank you for such a lovely message, blessings to you also xx

[@tanjitpottiwal586]

Wow, you are such a positive inspiration. My sister-in-law originally sent me your link, and that’s how I came across your channel. I started going grey when I was 13 and now at the age of 39 I’ve been fully blonde for about 6 years because of all the silver I have! It just wasn’t worth dying my hair brown anymore as I have so much silver/white/grey! Maybe one day I will let the silver shine out, but it’s not something I feel I am ready to do yet. You look absolutely stunning and you rock your natural colour! How I can relate to some of the comments you have mentioned (when I leave my natural hair to grow out for a while !). Especially, with me being from a Sikh background lol.

[@TheGreyIndian]

I think you will definitely enjoy my video which will be in punjabi and the comments we receive about our hair. xx

[@charityrocks]

I would love to go grey. I suspect the entire crown of my head is actually white. The back is still a dull blonde though. I am so scared to do it though. I don’t want to look older than I actually am.

[@deniseangela5637]

I was 16..I have been coloring my hair for 51 years..im taking the plunge

[@Mr.Meme1885]

You are a woman of wisdom and you look stunning!

[@rebeccaallan4596]

I appreciate the comment, thank you x

[@EmilyLucille523]

I started having grey hair at 18 so at 46 I have decided to just let it be and grow out my beautiful salt & pepper greys. My husband was at first negative about it, but now he actually really likes it! He said it helps that I style it and not just put it in a ponytail.

[@jarnailhayre4503]

Well done haji very clear well spoken very clear
