I would like to pass on advice from my hairdresser. When i decided to go all "grey", she said "honey, never ever call it grey. Grey is thought to represent something old, drab, useless, invisible. Hair is never grey, it is SILVER. Silver represents something precious, timeless and valuable." This struck a chord in me so since then I made it my mission to pass this on to others. We silver haired women and men are treasures full of experiences, stories, wisdom and skills. We are valuable and timeless and should never be invisible. Our hair should always be referred to as silver. She did add one thing that many forget to do...make it shine, shine shine. Use whatever product you need, make it glisten like icicles. Great advice!

What I find most fascinating about the “ugly gray” conversation is many people think this thought but have covered their hair for so long they don’t actually know what’s under the dye. The “ugly tapes” running on youth, beauty, and aging are so toxic. Thanks for continuing this conversation in a gentle thoughtful way.

A Gen Z woman with a silver white bob was in the salon when I was having my root touch up in 2019. Hers was most likely an expensive process to get there, but I instantly wondered if my hair would look like that. That day I had a shift in consciousness that led me to grow out my natural silver. Saw another Gen Z working in the grocery today with long white extensions. Gen Z associates the long silver white hair with trends and starlets. The beauty industry has brain washed older women to think all gray hair is hideous and aging. It has been quite profitable for them to do so.

Awesome video, my mother stopped dying her at age 65 she regretted not doing it sooner she said afterwards, the only reason she didn’t was “ what would her friends say” we worry more about what others think then how we feel is all that matters. Im aging gracefully, I stopped dying my hair a year ago and now it’s totally white and love it. The remarks I get from some woman especially family at first was “ your too young to go gray” or “ I wish I was brave enough” but now “ it’s how beautiful you look I wish my hair was like yours” we all need to stop comparing ourselves to others and just accept the beauty God has given us as individuals.

Because your roots and edges a week later shows and you enter the touch up phase all over again. I’m a restored stylist. Best to have shiny healthy grey.

Shannon, I’m so sorry you ran into someone so narrow minded to still think this, and so rude as to say it out loud to you! Hang in there!! Going gray is a natural part of being an aging humans. It typically starts gradually and ends - if we’re lucky enough to live that long - with complete saturation. There is no point along that path that is “not enough”. I’m about 60% gray and have waited 6 years now for my grays to get friendly and form a nice big fat streak. But they’re not having it. But it’s all part of the journey. My silver highlights are unique to me, as yours are to you. I hope for all of us embracing our natural color that we celebrate our differences and that none of us feels “less than” because we don’t fit into other people boxes of what’s “enough”.

It's quite thick now. All this dye was terrible for my hair !! My hair color is more white with a view silver streaks, and I think it looks quite pretty. My husband loves it too,that's a big plus.

Such a great video! I have so much to say! I was one of those people who thought I’d never let my grey hair show as I thought it would look bad, or make me look old. But then I started seeing all the women on KZbin documenting their grey hair grow outs and I found none of them looked older, and they all looked even more beautiful. It’s amazing what our natural hair can do for our complexions - a natural, perfect match! So I began the grow out, February 2021. I found my hair was MUCH less salt than I thought it would be. I’m probably only about 20% salt, 80% my natural dark brown. But I have a few beautiful salt streaks (I call the one at my left temple that is about 1.5” wide, surrounded by my natural dark, my Cruella deVille stripe!! Haha), that give my hair dimension like I’ve never had. Beautiful, unique, natural highlights and lowlights. And the quote from Tyra Banks is so interesting. I have always had a full face of freckles. And while I don’t ever remember hating them, I was teased when I was young. Most children outgrow freckles like mine, so it’s quite rare to see an adult with freckles - not sunspots, but true, “little red-headed girl” freckles. While I had to dye my hair (for 35 years) to be that red head I’d always wished I was, I never hid my freckles. I thought it was hilarious a few years back when “freckle pencils” were all the rage and people were drawing on fake freckles!! I have only ever worn a light powder foundation, so as to never hide my freckles. Sometimes I worry they’re gone, and then look in the mirror and say, nope, still there, phew!! I’m just so used to them, I don’t really see them anymore, unless I look!!

Beautifully said, Beth. ♥ Your video reminded me of a time right before I started coloring my hair (early 20's).I didn't realize it (until my hair stylist pointed it out) but all my gray was at the back of my head. Everybody (friends, family, acquaintances) would always compliment my hair and say it looked like sparkly tinsel. I didn't understand what they were talking about because I couldn't see it. When my hair stylist told me 60% of my gray was at the back of my head, I was horrified and that's around the time I started coloring my hair. My younger sister (who has never colored her hair) is mostly pepper with a few sparkly bits of silver and it's GORGEOUS and I can't believe I missed out on all that beauty! I love my hair now but wish I had been able to enjoy the entire process from the very beginning. I literally went from the hair dye straight to mostly white!

I quit dyeing my hair ten months ago. I am 53. I've noticed I seem to be getting more RESPECT, which I've had problems with all my life. My hair looks blonde in the direct sun. When not in sun, it looks light to medium brown. My mother can't say what color it is. It's a mix of blonde, light brown, medium brown and gray. Everyone says it's pretty. I am only 5'2" tall and not noticeably obese. I cut out ALL the dye Minecraft d June last year (2022). I had a pixie cut all summer. Now the bottom layer is past the bottom of my neck. My sides are about 4-5 inches long. I'm parting my hair in the middle. (I'm a soft classic)It's all MY hair! I wash it now about every four days. I'm liking it more and more. Unfortunately, most women in my area color their hair till they die. My 79 year old mother never colored her hair. She never wore make up either. She was a dark auburn that turned chestnut brown, then white. She has warm hazel eyes and very pale skin. Everyone tells me my mother is "pretty". I agree. We do not favor facially. My eyes are COOL hazel (grey/blue/green).

Not to be an contrarian but I think there is also one point that needs to be mentioned - many women such as myself didn't start coloring our hair because we wanted to cover the grey and look younger - we started coloring our hair because our own, natural shade was not flattering. While some say that our own natural color is always what suits us best, that's simply not true. For example, I have a very pale, warm skin tone but my natural color is a cool, ashy brown. When I add gold or red to my hair, my skin comes alive and glows, but with my natural mousy brown hair, my skin looks washed out, dull, the dark circles under my eyes look darker - it's basically like wearing an unflattering color except instead of it being a piece of clothing around your neck, it's on your head. So when grey is coming in still mixed with a lot of my natural dark hair, it doesn't look good , not because of the grey (the jury is still out on that) but because of my unflattering natural dark hair color. I wouldn't necessarily describe it as 'bad' - after menopause you have to be grateful to have hair at all! - but it's certainly not beautiful and flattering in the way some women's (like yours) is...
@InfinitegardenbyBethK Жыл бұрын
This is a great point and one I relate to. The way you describe your coloring sounds a lot like mine. I started lightening my hair in the summer with a hydrogen peroxide dilution. My ash brown hair never seemed to be flattering. I dyed my hair for a long time because I wanted to and enjoyed it. 🥰

Mine is more salt 60% than pepper 40% . As i said before mine came from health problems. I had little issue with my few silvers. So having this change is disappointing. I worry because the texture of grey hair isn't as good as pigmented hair. I worry about the quality of my hair. Plus my regrowth isn't attractive at all. And a hairdresser said it was yuck. And then colored my hair the way she wanted to... and then said i have a better hair to color than her. What a change in her mind. Litterally contradicted herself. She's 59 and has big issues with her white hair and said it would take too long to go natural when i suggested how good it can look. I keep meeting ageists. The younger girls however said just to silver tone my blonde hair and work with that and that way my roots highlight the white and blend in.. i am grappling with all this at moment.

I thank the Mellenials and Gen Z for making silver hair current and trendy. I already liked the silver look on other women, but that gave me the nudge to go natural myself.

Another video that's so on point for so many of us! Thanks so much, Beth! 🙂 I'm always relieved when I hear other people refer to aging as a privilege. My large extended family has lost six loved ones before/during the age when they might have been privileged to start growing salt-and-pepper hair. And so far, I myself am living two years beyond a medical prognosis. The six months of gray I've grown represents twenty-five percent of the borrowed time I have on a surprisingly successful research drug. So I totally agree. Whatever " growing old" is... it is most certainly a privilege. Hooray for growth! 👩🦳 Here's another type of silver hair that's considered bad: the dreaded yellowing hair. (Insert horror movie scream here. 😱) I'm very "live and let live." It's not wrong to tone your silver hair, and it's not wrong to leave it alone. I've already used three different purple toning products, and I'll probably continue using them. But I've noticed the marketing of blue/purple toning products has already had the same subtle impact on me as the marketing of many other beauty products, which is to make me feel like my new silver hair won't be good enough. I think if I'd never heard this marketing, I might have just thought some silver sisters had warmer toned silver hair and some had cooler. But now when I see the silver hair of women around me, it's almost an automatic evaluation on my part. How silver is her hair? What does she use? Ugh. What if we glamorized warmer toned silver hair? What would that be like? 🦋🧡🦋

Your comment is so powerful-I’ve read it a few times and I hope I don’t gloss over any of your excellent points. First, congratulations on your continued health 💖 I’m so so so glad you’re here. I’m glad you resonate with seeing aging as a privilege. I’ve been thinking about the toning item myself. I have been testing purple products and so many of them are for bleached platinum blonde hair, and that means for my hair they are too potent. They often lump silver hair in with blonde almost as an afterthought in the marketing. It’s not always clear if it’s genuinely a good fit. It leads me to wonder exactly what you are-is this just shifting my urge to correct a “problem”with my appearance that isn’t actually required? I’m happy to think about this some more. 💖💖
