GREY HAIR TRANSITION | NICOLE BURGESS

[@hcampbell]

As a hair stylist, I love blending my clients grey! It's a beautiful way to transition... it's what we call a "graceful growout". 😅

[@breezygodiva503]

Youre gonna be a Keto Storm from X-Men. Can't wait!!!

[@NicoleBurgess]

Oohhh, I love that😎

[@katefrench5270]

I have a friend who went completely gray at the age of 18. She has the most beautiful head of hair. She never colored it, she just owned it. I highly respect her for just doing her thing and not letting others push her to be different. I have no doubt you're going to rock that silver noggin! Enjoy and keep up the good work!

[@Mama_Deb]

I quit coloring my hair years ago. Been turning gray gradually. I actually wish I had more silver. I think it’s pretty. Nicole you are a beautiful person inside and out no matter what color your hair is. 😊💖

[@NicoleBurgess]

Thank you so much❤🥰🙏🏼

[@irmawranna]

Great! Women all over the world are embracing their grays! You will look beautiful, what makes you beautiful is not just your looks, it is your charm, kindness and confidence

[@TanyaRamirez-z6m]

The grey looks like natural highlights!!! It’s beautiful 🤩

[@debcar8024]

I understand completely.. am with you!!! I got tired of coloring every 3 weeks. I found my first gray when I was 12 and I was black headed. My hair was long and it made it much easier to cut to shoulder length. I had my beautician put high lights to ease the transition. That helped. Good luck!! It's sooooooo nice not to worry about coloring at anymore!!! 👏🤞

[@audrey3688]

Having gone grey years ago, I applaud your choice. Natural is the way to go. I’ve even seen a trend of people coloring their hair grey! I say grey is the new blond! I get a ton of compliments on my hair. I now just let my hair dry naturally and embrace my natural look. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with coloring your hair grey during transition. I just let mine grow until it was long enough to cut in a good short cut. I agree. It’s going to be gorgeous!

[@kellyrolling5444]

You Go Girl, I am 58 and have larges patches of silver all over. Went through a bad patch with Alapecia years ago. After it grew back in it changed color. Always self conscious of people looking and asking what's up with the big patch on top of your head. Well learned to love it and accept it because it's me. Thanks for being you and honest about it. Your going to rock it.

[@seekingserenitydaily]

You go girl! I used the pandemic as a chance to grow out my color and let mother nature choose the color ... it's been nothing but a positive experience. I teach junior high and the kids are BRUTALLY HONEST and it is a non-issue! Of course, I'm 20 years older than you and my hair is short but it's looking fabulous and I LOVE the money I'm saving not to mention the TIME I'm saving by not having to go through the color process! Proud of you!

[@dorisvsgjourney3627]

I just wanted to say, I noticed, but honestly, I like it on you. I really love how honest you are in everything, and not wanting to dye it anymore, so I appreciate you sharing the whys. Keep doing you, Nicole, you are a great human!

[@vickymc3855]

I’m 62 and just now starting to go grey. I too decided to stop coloring my hair. I think it will be liberating once we go grey. Way to go! Girl Power!!

[@bethklaybor3042]

Love it! Grey is beautiful and natural and no chemicals! I did the transition thing & that helped. Cool streak & very beautiful!!

[@southernsuppers4078]

I started this process about 8 months ago. I did discuss it with my hairdresser and she suggested the blending. I only had to do it once and it has made the transition practically unnoticeable. I am also a professional and didn’t want to appear unkept. I would recommend letting your salon help you out.

[@amywhitmore4616]

I'm almost a year younger than you and I haven't dyed my hair in years, but recently I have started getting much grayer than I had been. I've also decided to just go grey gracefully and not start dying. It is what it is and I am who I am. You do you lady! If blending is what you want to do go for it! You have to live with it, nobody else.

[@paulasherrod6835]

You go girl! You are going to LOVE the grey. Can’t wait to see the progression! Congrats on making this awesome decision! I did it many years ago. I got nasty comments and I like you, was over coloring it and I will never go back!!!

[@carolynshane295]

Thank you for your transparency! You are gonna rock this look!! Rocking it already 💪 love how our confidence gets higher the older we get 🧡

[@SimpleMandy]

Right on!! The grey looks so pretty!! Despite my current profile picture I am rocking my own grey hair but with a purple blend. I'll be 40 in August, started going grey at 25, but learned to embrace it.

[@babyteaseknw]

Oh Nicole! Your positivity inspires me constantly. This video was such a surprise but at the same time... I've been dying my hair since I was 13 and am now 52. Back in October I also decided I was done. My grey runs in the family and started around 20. And I have a streak on each side of my head, my right more prominent than the left. It's like you were telling my story. After watching this I realized I need to take photos. I can't wait to see your results. 😍

[@jolikane1]

You continue to find new ways to inspire!! Thank you for being real, living your best life.....and sharing it with all of us!!

[@NicoleBurgess]

😘🥰😘🥰

[@BaconBePropane]

I’d just embrace the gray. I stopped coloring mine about a year and, and I’m 34. If I’m not turning gray myself in the next few years, I’d be surprised.

[@barb679]

I stopped coloring 16 months ago and I LOVE IT.... welcome to the journey and ENJOY your natural hair

[@marichacon6765]

I'm 32, going grey and I LOVE IT!!! My son is 9 and he has a ton of grey hair already and he absolutely loves it too 😍 I love that you addressed this and love it too 😘😘

[@andreafernando7172]

I wish I was where you are- I'm 50 and still touching up the grays and still insecure with my body, hair, personality ... everything. I really admire your confidence but most importantly you are a strong, beautiful woman and a real role model! You help me a lot 💕

[@NicoleBurgess]

Thank you Andrea🥰🙏🏼❤

[@veebeetwo]

Go girl!!! I decided to grow mine out and be a natural silver/grey years ago. Mine is uber short though so it's not such a big deal. I love it. It will look awesome, I'm sure 🤩

[@tw1468]

I did this several years ago and it has been the most freeing things I I have ever done. My husband loves it and I got the same comments from my mom. You r going to look great. I love that u r comfortable being your own person.

[@ny2philly765]

You are amazing!! My oldest daughter turned 38 this month. I'm 59 and when I grow up I want to be just like you!! A straight up BAM(bad ass mom)💪💯💖

[@amberduval9511]

Yessss! I also have been grey since I was 18. At 29 (during covid) I decided to embrace the silver and am now a year into this journey and am so happy I did it!

[@daniellebarimani1244]

I can't wait to see this transformation! Loving it!

[@stephanieschindler2903]

Nicole you are amazing! Dang you are very blessed to have a hubby who supports you!

[@tealelliott3870]

I started turning gray at age 9! Your hair is YOUR business. You're beautiful inside and out so don't let naysayers make you doubt yourself (even Mom!) When I stopped coloring mine it was because the dye was no longer coloring my hair. Big salon bill and white roots? No thank you! I just let mine grow out until it was long enough for a short style and cut it off, then let it grow long again.

[@sheilajacobs9543]

Go for it, your hair and you will be beautiful. I am a black female and transitioning from relaxed hair back to natural hair. A transition indeed. But it was well overdue to stop with the years of harsh chemicals . We are all on this journey of self care, self empowerment, self love. Cheers to us.

[@evelyncape4180]

I admire your honesty and fortitude. You go girl!!🤜🏼🤛🏽🤟🏼

[@GloriaPiz]

Yes girl do it!!! I’m 48 and have never colored my hair.. I barely have any grey it’s too funny.. like 1 long strand and that’s it. I didn’t want to be a slave to hair coloring. Your awesome and it’s gonna look totally beautiful!

[@cherylhoran2469]

Your hair is going to look amazing. Congratulations on leaving the dye behind. It's a tough decision to make and thank you for sharing with us all.

[@monicaespinoza8325]

I'm excited Nicole!!!!... You are so right people pay sooo much money to get that silver color.

[@kimberlyw.1742]

You go girl!! I Sent Greg 2 years ago and I love it!! I also work in the public and most women were very supportive and inspired me to keep going when I was in transition and wanted to quit. I agree with faith cutting it shorter during transition will help.

[@crystalchi]

Omg I have been binge watching all your videos since I started Keto two weeks ago! You are soooo inspiring, honest, and funny! I am 37 and have been dying my hair black for years! I have been wanting to go grey since I already am and my mom is scared shytless!! I want to be natural!!! This video is everything, not even done! I’m so happy for you, for me, y’all it’s ok! Be you! You are BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@NicoleBurgess]

🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much Crystal

[@crystalchi]

@@NicoleBurgess yesss update please😍

[@rkrat3925]

You go girl, just do you. I am 38 I don’t have gray hairs, but a few years ago instead of turning gray I had hairs start turning bright red ( I have dark brown hair). Instead of coloring those hairs brown I started getting more red added.

[@ginaschweppe5559]

Yes!! Don’t fall for societies “beauty norms” I love it!! Self love is true beauty

[@channingprewitt5237]

I decided to embrace my grey a few years back. I am 44. I was tired of the time and expense involved in highlighting my hair. I also wanted to get back to my naturally healthy feeling hair. Grow out for me was fairly easy because of my natural hair color and the type of highlights I had. I love my hair now! In terms of blending, I think you should do what you want and what makes you happy. If you want to blend it, go for it girl!

[@vivajay]

It’s all up to you what you want to do with your hair, and your feelings can change over time and nothing wrong with that either. My mind changes every so often whether to grow a goatee or let the hair on my head grow out more or get highlights which I think I may get for the Summer. I’ve noticed on Facebook most of the guys I grew up with don’t even have hair so I’m very happy to do whatever I please with mine.

[@eva122419]

Nicole you are gorgeous inside and out! You keep following your heart and live your best life💕💕

[@NicoleBurgess]

Thanks Linda😘😘

[@adorakolb1059]

I have been enjoying watching my silvers and whites come in, my dad had the best black hair that turned salt and pepper - and it's great to see mine start to look the same!

[@PetiteD]

Congratulations on making this important decision for you in this part of your life journey and having the courage to come forward and share your story. I did notice that your greys were starting to show but I figured it was just that time in your life and you were ready to embrace them. I did have a couple of people in my high school with patches of grey hair but not completely going grey at such a young age but that’s what makes you unique! I always loved those patches of hair as it reminded me of Rogue from X-Men It’s all about embracing our true selves, so kudos to you for putting yourself out there and best of luck going forward.

[@priscilladillard5740]

I stop dying my hair a couple of years ago and I thank with going on a health journey its just as important to change other things in your life too. I'm with you girl

[@jtcarl6147]

Your new growth is beautiful. I can't wait to see it in all its glory. Good for you.👩‍🦳

[@suehanson4434]

Rock that Gray sunshine!!! Who cares what society says!! You are a strong beautiful woman no matter what you do!!!

[@theoriginalmrs.d538]

Love it! I cut my hair shoulder length and had blending done over 1.5 yrs ago. It’s nice not to have the line of demarcation...and you’ll be surprised at how quickly it grows.

[@aimeeroy5579]

I stopped coloring my hair over a year ago. I have quite a bit of grey in the front top area. I do have dirty blonde hair naturally so the grey isn't such a huge contrast as when I used to dye my hair dark brown, BUT it is still very obvious. However, I don't care. I'm loving going natural and my hair is like 10 different colors and I think it looks great. I'll be 42 in May, fyi. I applaud you for doing this. We shouldn't be so scared of what other people will say about us, especially since you know at some point grey hair will be in. I'm so tired of other people saying what is trendy, what looks good, what doesn't. Props to you girl!!!

[@alexan6118]

A new silver sister! I transitioned a few years ago now. When I started, I was doing heavy highlights and decided not to do that anymore. I cant believe how many compliments I got as it was growing out 🙈 people thought I had silver and blonde baylage (sp?) 💜

[@christinawilliams4077]

I started letting it go gray about 6 years ago. My sons mother law said to me that I needed to color my hair before the wedding pictures because when I see the pictures I wouldn’t like myself but I ignored her and I like my hair and I don’t regret it at all. I love how the wedding pictures turned out! my hair texture changed but I’ve learned how to manage it. The worse can happen is that you don’t like it and if you don’t like it you can color it but I think your going to like it! It’s so freeing ! Good luck on you’re going gray journey! Oh I work in medical and I had mine blended once because I didn’t want to look unprofessional so I recommend that you go to your hair salon.

[@candacetownsend844]

That’s awesome Nicole you do you!!!❤️❤️

[@startingoverat43withnikkib58]

I first started greying when I was 8yrs old. Now at 44 I am alnost entirely grey. I stopped dying my hair once I cut it off. I was tired of it all. I get so many compliments which was surprising. I really love it and you will too.i didn't know anything about a support group, I just did it! Blending it will be beautiful on you because you have so much hair. Who cares what the grey community thinks about it. The bible says grey hair is a crown of wisdom.

[@TheCrazyTexan]

Nicole, I've been watching watching you since you were couponing. I subscribed then because you kept it real. Your a beautiful person inside and out.

[@Rtalbott1]

Your hair is so beautiful!!! I am so excited to see it all grown out and the color blended. Love you girl and keep on loving yourself!!

[@sharynbuksbaum823]

I kept seeing gray hair transition posts pop up on the Facebook Group and I had to see what it was all about it. Of course the group is full of positive messages, which is so nice. I had a good friend recently go gray and her hair looks amazing - I think even better than before : ) I love your attitude, it's your hair and you do you! It's wonderful that you have such a supportive husband, but what I want to know is what the boys think, as you know kids have no filter they just say what they are thinking. Of course I know they will love and support their fantastic Mom! My son with autism notices EVERYTHING, nothing gets passed him, which is why I was curious how that's going for you.

[@NicoleBurgess]

They have zero clue so far😄

[@MichCoccaBene]

just seeing your roots, tht is going to look straight FIYA !!! i love salt and pepper! cannot wait to see how it all looks

[@tyjomeb123]

I transitioned to gray 2 years ago and was so happy not to put those horrible chemicals on my head. My family resisted and hated it, but perfect strangers come up to me and compliment my hair. I'm so glad I did it. What freedom! I may look older, but I don't care i love it. Your hair will look beautiful! My family got used to it and I even talked my mom into going gray. She doesn't like it, but gets so many compliments on it.

[@theangelli79]

I saw it, loved and made you more relatable to me. Beautiful. I’m 41 rocking my grays too.

[@kace1457]

Congrats on your decision and journey! I've been lucky enough that no one has ever said anything about my hair and the natural coloring of grey has been in my favor. With virgin hair, I've got grey on the sides that are white snow and in the back is still black. It's been over 12 years since i visited a hairdresser and glad i let my hair do its own thing. Women despite their decisions, have always been beautiful to me and it breaks my heart when someone says anything insensitive. Makes me sad in fact.

[@keepingitpositive9812]

We have the same premature greying in my family as well. My brother is 28 and has a head full of grey hair. I don't have a problem with it, it's just part of me. Thanks for being brave and sharing this with us. I don't color my hair either. Your hair is just beautiful and looks so healthy. It's going to be gorgeous once it grows out

[@elizabethpeterson8597]

I got my first grey hair when I was 16. I was turning noticeably grey by the time I was 30 and began coloring/covering. Stopped all coloring about 10 years ago (I"m 59 now), and my hair has a wonderful natural color and tone of bright light silver, not quite white. Your hair is beautiful Nicole and by not putting those toxins on your hair which then make their way into the body you'll be healthier for it. And my mother was like that also, negative, negative, negative, and all up in my business which was none of her business.

[@NicoleBurgess]

Thanks Elizabeth😘

[@kellystott3110]

You are gorgeous!!! The grey is going to be beautiful

[@cw6889]

[@alinac.7919]

That is so beautiful to hear. Made the same decision for myself, so happy I did! Grey hair is a blessing not a hindrance.You truly are a Natural beauty inside and out!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@NicoleBurgess]

Thank you so much Alina🥰😘

[@1962swissmiss]

I quit tinting my hair and let it grow out some then cut a lot of it off. I look better with short hair and now it is pretty much white. Nicole you do you do what makes you happy it is your hair and your life.

P.s. Sally beauty has colored mousse that blends while growing out. That's what I used. They have all colors

[@sherimarie1312]

I'm 44, and I quit coloring my gray 6 years ago. I get compliments all the time on how pretty the natural colors are. Good luck!

[@emmamarshall4490]

Girl you are sooo beautiful 😍 it wouldn't matter what your hair colour is 😃 i honestly can't wait to see it all blended in 😃😁🥰

[@kimberlybarnes2536]

It sounds like getting it blended would be “you being you”. I love the support you get from the Facebook groups but them not getting it blended is them being them. It’s going to be beautiful! Go for it💫

[@doree6595]

YES, exactly what I was thinking 🙂

[@abriggs6452]

I think your natural hair color looks so beautiful!! It will be absolutely gorgeous when it grows out! I can’t wait to see the transformation. If you want to get it blended, go for it!!

[@amandalovetere]

Your hair is beautiful! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

[@bev-ette7565]

You do you...as you are always saying. It will be as lovely as you are, girl. Can't wait to watch the transformation, however you decide to do it. Love ya, gal. 💟

[@reginacarter6064]

My stepdaughter and I stopped coloring our hair 15 months ago. We love our hair now. I am 45 and my stepdaughter is only 31. I asked her if shed ever go back and she says no. It feels good to not have to worry anymore. We did have to change our makeup and some colors that we now wear. You will look great.

[@hannahg3334]

I love this! My mom went gray early (she had auburn hair when she was younger) and she now has the most beautiful gray top layer with her auburn underneath - I’ve secretly always been jealous of how beautiful it is. I just turned 30 and have started noticing grays all over, and I honestly am loving it! I think you’re gorgeous, and I think your hair is going to be bomb! And I so admire your confidence - you always remind me to be kinder to myself, and I’m so glad for your presence on KZbin!

[@NicoleBurgess]

Thank you Hannah, I appreciate you🥰🙏🏼❤

[@micheleharriman5731]

I am 47 and have never put a colour in my hair, I am blonde so grey hair is camouflaged more than having dark hair,!!!! You go girl!!!!

[@Jess38]

I understand I had red hair now it looks blonde.

[@xTheresaVCx]

We are in the same boat. I started getting grey hair at 17yrs old and this past October I decided to stop dying it. I'm 42 and I'm sick of the upkeep! Plus all those chemicals on my scalp can't be good; especially when I have to dye it every 2-3 weeks. So many people make the same comments to me about being too young, it's going to make you look so old, you're gonna hate it, etc. My mother is one of the few who thinks I should just let it go grey. lol! Mine is salt and pepper but mostly salt on top.....it's so white! My mom says it's so pretty. We'll see if I like it after it's grown out but I don't hate it so far. Good luck mama!! ;)

[@danacook-pearson4857]

The power of confidence!

[@mariaTsounakis1521]

You do you!! Its hip for young ladies to go white gray. Im sure you will rock it and can’t wait to see your new look. Beauty shines when we feel comfortable in our skin. ❤️

[@kathyslemp4207]

As a public speaker, I agree with you! Blend it, then do whatever makes it look good!

[@ragangrasso2201]

I honestly think it's a really awesome idea! I figured you were probably growing it out when I seen the extra gray.. its going to look fantastic!

[@Mama_birdie_4]

I’m almost 40 and starting to get more grays. I wish it would come in thicker so I could grow mine out too. My mom had GORGEOUS white hair and I’m praying that’s how mine is.

[@2krazyketos]

I did it in November and it’s been so freeing. Like you, I started coloring my hair at 18. Even though i always colored myself, Joe encouraged me to go to a salon and have them strip the color to get me grey and it was a great investment. Now i love the grey/silver

[@NicoleBurgess]

You definitely have been an inspiration for me girl😘😘

[@InWithJen]

Loveeeeeee it!!!! Girl I would be totally grey if I didn’t color my hair. I started getting greys in my young 20s. I just love my highlights but I’ve definitely thought about letting it grow out natural!! Can’t wait to see your journey!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@lesliemorrisette9662]

Saw it, but figured it’s your business to talk about when and if you wanted to talk about it. Thanks for sharing your story. I already see so many people on the facebook group. Sharing their silver doo. You look great.

[@Rhogna59]

Definitely get it blended. I'll be 62 in July and I've colored my hair for years. I was blonde naturally and I'm blonde now. I do get tired of the expense and what I call the Halo where it grows out just before your next appointment but can not tolerate the two tone look. Now if I decide to go natural one day at least I know there is help to transition to natural.

[@meld8363]

I want to thank you for posting this. I started going grey young and go get my roots done every 6 weeks at the salon. I am 40 now. I have wanted to let my gray grow and just get it blended in and I think I’m going to go for it! So thank you for the inspiration. ⭐️⭐️

[@carmenkathman3262]

I started this process about a year ago. Just letting it grow out. I use purple shampoo. Loving it!

[@mindyandersen7476]

I’m excited to see it, it’s going to look beautiful. You go girl!!!

[@lindaliegel3532]

It looks great. I started growing mine out a year ago at age 59. I did have some highlights put in to assist with the blending. Can still see some difference between the grow out and colored portion but is much less noticeable. I'm loving my silver as well, and enjoy seeing the pattern of how it's growing in. Lots of natural high and low lights.

[@remakingmegan]

I have been grey since I was 16. I died my hair for years. I do what’s called a high lift on my naturally brown hair which brings it up to a strawberry blonde. The whites look like I have foiled my hair. Eventually I want to cut it off and wear it all white. Good luck and kick ass!!! Proud of you for being you...

[@NicoleBurgess]

Thank you Megan❤

[@marlene6139]

Oh my gosh Nicole, this video is so timely for me I can't even tell you! I was looking at products 2 days ago that remove color from the strand. I've been doing my hair for so many years and love the color actually just can't do it anymore lol! I'll probably do it in one motion (day)! But good luck and much grace to you! 💛 So glad to see you're better, last video I saw you had (flu)!

[@maemaep9246]

You do you girl!!! You want it, you do it!

[@tanyasbudgetandchaoticlife3116]

Girl I’m with you, I was going gray in my early twenties I have colored it for over 30 years and decided I’m done. I have let it grow out I stopped coloring about a year ago I have been thinking about doing the blend since I’m more gray then anything. I think you should do the blending I think it will make you feel better and give you the boost for the conference.

[@mercedesotano5164]

HOW EMPOWERING I love this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So beautiful
