Not Gray for a Day

[@LorraineStanton]

The wig by itself does not look that natural but as soon as you skillfully blended your own pieces of hair in the front it totally became "you". Amazing, I learned a lot about wearing wigs from this.

[@carableu]

I know you are committed to the gray, but I have to say you look incredible with the brown hair!! You look 35 with that color on. Gorgeous!

[@leekururangi2011]

Monique I'm 44 and going grey since I was 16 - family tell me to just grow old gracefully... you're such an inspiration on hot to age AMAZINGLY and just relax and have FUN!! Love your videos I watch every night 😘

[@velmavelvet2263]

I love your gray hair. I'm in my 50s but don't have a lot of gray. My hair is very dark brown and some stylists would want me to lighten it but I don't want the commitment. So it's going to be the color it wants to be.

[@Isnogud67]

What a transformation, loved it. You are so beautiful with your natural grey hair too !

[@cathywarner9263]

Monique, you look beautiful with your gray/white hair. I would call it more silver. It is really striking and you look like a million bucks with your natural hair. I am not a natural person, as I color my hair, but if my hair was like yours, I'd never color it. It is so glamorous and a standout. My mother used to color her white hair, until her white took over. At first it was a little shocking, but then women were trying to copy her look. She owned it. I could always find her when we were shopping because she stood out. Anyway, I enjoy your videos, as you get to the point and don't buy all the products in the world to get your look. It is staggering what one can spend on beauty. Everybody should use concealer, brows, and lips before leaving the house. You rock!

[@trudyfong2826]

I've given some thought to the comments that Monique should dye her hair brown so that people would think she was younger. This is a standard response, drilled into us by the mass-marketing of hair dye over the last six decades. At the same time tha this has happened, study after study has shown that hair dye is highly toxic. Why else do you think beauticians use rubber gloves while they are rubbing that toxic sludge into the most porous organ in our bodies, right next to our brains? Even so, why are hair dressers among the highest risk groups of professions to come down with Early Onset Alzeheimers? And have greatly multiplied risks of bladder cancer, as well as Lymphoma and other cancers? And tests have shown that at most, people guessing someone's age are vary by only three years, depending on whether their hair is grey or dyed. Not to mention that it easily costs over a thousand dollars a year to maintain. So really, when a man, (who avoids all the health hazards, annoyance and expense of putting that toxin on his scalp, right next to his brain) asks his women to dye her hair to suit him, what he is really saying is: "Honey. I don't care that you'll double your chances of getting arthritis after a decade of dyeing, and after two decades some studies have shown you'll be five times as likely to get bladder cancer, plus a significant increase in other cancers and an increase in a bunch of other diseases like Parkinson's, I really want you to dye your hair a solid wall of brown which will almost instantly result in a tell-tale Skunk Stripe, so my proxy vanity will be appeased and other men who don't know you will pretend that I robbed the cradle, when really all they're thinking is that I married someone three years younger than me. Monique looks uniquely beautiful for a 50-year old-woman. She does not have a solid brown helmet with a white stripe running down her hairline. Women who have gone through the pain of the grow-out have committed a radical act: that of saying: "I'm going to be me. Genuinely, authentically, and without being bullied by the dye marketers into applying something they knowingly sell which they in fact know is an empty promise. Only last month, I had yet another hairdresser try to talk me into dyeing my hair, because 'people' would guess me to be much younger!" "Oh really, I asked and how old do you think I am?" -Late 40s? Wrong. I'm 60 and proud of it. Young women are dyeing their hair grey and everyone is going "Oooo! How lovely, even though they've fried their hair and its one solid shade, supplemented by extensions because a lot of their own length was destroyed by the bleaching. When do we get to stop all the Bullshit? When do we get to stop rubbing poison on our heads so that men we don't even know can play the game of "Guess my age?". If men really knew the hazards of dye and their feelings for their wife went beyond proxy vanity, they wouldn't ask her to use it. Why not Google with search words like: cancer +hair dye, or Parkinsons + hair dye and Alzheimer's +hair dye? Or watch my documentary and find out the real deal about hair dye.

Best comment on the Internet.

[@mgal6234]

Melissa Perry Wow, Melissa, you have my name! My maiden name is Melissa Marie Perry...cool!

[@IndulekhaNanayakkara]

You are TOO cool!! I just stumbled upon your vids and was watching for the heck of it. And I think you're super awesome!

[@Sassafrass-qh8po]

Thank you for your wonderful videos! I would love a tutorial on how/where to buy a good wig.

[@PacificNWGrl]

So cool, you look good both ways but I prefer your gorgeous gray hair

[@ccsworldaustralia4332]

yes, me too, Monique gray look so elegant!

[@Blakserenity]

You look so much better as a brunette than anything else. It just makes you look so young and beautiful.

[@jasonrjohnston]

Your videos are improving. Also, it's fun to watch you transform. When I can, I like to check in on my talent sitting with the MUA's and watch the stylists work. For you, I think the dark, longer hair frames your face really well; it's interesting as much as your embrace of your short gray hair is exciting and different. Confidence is always sexy and you've always seemed confident. Keep it up, Monique.

[@jasonrjohnston]

I have nothing but favorable things to say about pink leopard print pajama bottoms! lol

[@cbeauty3619]

Holy cow!!! you look ten years younger!

[@autumn101000]

That wig is fabulous.

[@AudreyAikenBand]

beautiful wig. still love your grey though. It's fun to play....that's why I have a blonde wig ; )

[@NightsMuse]

You are quite the artist! You made that hair blend with the wig so well.

[@strandnixe1]

Wooow, you are a wonderful pretty woman. I saw some videos and I must say ..... you looks fantastic without and with make up and I love your grey hair. But you looks always so beautiful . Big hugs Beate from Germany

[@talibattamar5391]

instantly 20 years younger ;)

[@kiwi007]

I disagree, she rocks being silver.

[@janettegeorge2228]

amazing you look great with your gray hair but awesome with that wig wow definitely younger I love your tutorials I am 56 and I really appreciate your beauty tips☺☺☺☺

[@davidsonjudy52]

Like this idea will try with my darker wigs

[@leslieligon4648]

Thanks for passing on so many great hair techniques!

[@tracyrepple9135]

Ok so I am now addicted to your videos. I love them and your outlook on things. Really nice knowing we can play and do and not feel silly about a one night transformation. Thanks from Missouri, Tracy

[@kawestley1965]

love this

[@patriciawagstaff6302]

I have had totally white hair since I was 35 yrs old. I get many compliments BUT I have ordered a light blonde hair rince.. I ordered it from Amazon. The product is Roux -Fanciful. I have used it before, but it has been quite some time. We shall see !!

[@mztwixed]

wow, so versatile..you are very good at this

[@thejourney1369]

In six months I will be 60. I can't believe I'm saying that! Where did the years go? But I made the decision 20 years ago to never go grey. Can't afford a salon,, but every three weeks I'm touching up my roots with the Nice n' Easy. I applaud you, but for me, it ain't ever happening!

[@thejourney1369]

+Monique Parent thanks for your vids. Love them! I like to watch some of the young ones, but sometimes that stuff isn't for me. If I "baked" my under eyes, I'd have sandpaper! And since I'm visually impaired, there's no way I'm sticking anything in my waterline! Have a super weekend!

[@belindahawkins1246]

Donna knight Were you 40 when u made that decision to never go gray? Well do u look as good as u did at 40 then never go gray then but if u don't just sayin

[@jacquelinedouglas3483]

You look so good this way you should dye your hair and wear your wig more often looks really good 😍

[@sintho2770]

Try using the root touch-up in the same brand; Style Edit; it is wonderful, will do the same thing and will leave the hair feeling natural and soft.

[@nancyt925]

Amazing! Very becoming! You look beautiful with any hair color, style. Makeup or no makeup.

[@postman2936]

Wow!!! How fun - I'm going to try that!

[@edifymeblog7076]

wow that was truly amazing. Love both the grey and brunette on you.

[@avamichelle4384]

You look stunning with brown hair.

[@lindseyfairchild570]

Looking so good

[@ebonydee6889]

So glad I ran into your page. Super reference for my more mature clients. you are fabulous!!!

[@tishsmiddy71]

I am so gratefull for the secrets you share and the reason I say "it's there tried and true" and fabulous.. spelling I'm sorry ...that's the wig that made me go 93rd highlights instead of trying to keep my dark dark brown , it made me look old.but I love how you encourage woman to be a women in this day and age...much love please keep sharing , we are 50 not 70...thank you

[@TheNancy1965]

Oh my God that was awesome! You look fabulous either way.

[@lisbusch]

I wanna go wig shopping ASAP!

[@gaisb9418]

I like the gray

[@MoonfishSparkle]

awesome tip! thanks!

[@doriemckay6935]

You're beautiful andI too think you look great minus the gray hair. I Used to be dark brown but I decided once I got a certain% of white, I'd go lighter, no regrets! you look wonderful either way!

[@barbaraparker3733]

That was fun!

[@belindahawkins1246]

Thank u for the wig tuuts great advice

[@roegogo]

You look great with you gray and I disagree with all the comments that you look much younger with the brown hair. You look the same age with both but the gray is stunning! Thanks for the video. My question: Does the spray paint stain your gray? Also to be fair at the end of this video I would have on the left a photo of you with the gray ombre wig and make up from another video that is fantastic of yours and on the right the photo of you with the brown wig.

[@dreamofmermaids]

I agree grey is lovely...you are lovely...but blonde or brown instantly makes one more youthful!

[@xaroulamarin9806]

Some men think you look better with the brown hair. For me I love both looks.

[@Mohammed-Gideon]

It was nice but better gray in my opinion .

[@sewsooze68]

You look fantastic, your skin and your figure and your hair, such a great inspiration, I love all of your video's xxx and I do derma rolling haha, and I am dying my grey roots its a nightmare, I'm 48 eeek haha brilliant video's I love them all and so happy I found you, lots of love from Sue, in the UK xxx

[@carmenroupp653]

[@pariciashalo1990]

The you you for making look outside the box. x

[@gaborzband]

WOW, you look great!

[@grateful1929]

I'm trying to go grey. I'll be 60 June 4th. My hair color is dark brown. It has been light brassy brown for about three years now. I love the silver that my hair is turning. It's beautiful but I'm skunky looking on top and sides😞😞My husband said to just let it go grey. He's so sweet. However, my son is getting married in 5 weeks. I don't want to dye it just for the wedding. What is that color spray you're using? I'm sorry but I can't hear you well.

[@newtoublue1451]

grateful1929 . Hit the little arrow in the atea tobthe Rvubdercthe video and the product list is there.

[@laraoneal7284]

I love u Monique u are so real and informative BUT I do not want to offend u at all but I have to say HANDS DOWN You look gorgeous as a brunette and a lot of years YOUNGER. Just sayin. The FOR the tips on the spray color .

[@carolmiller5058]

YOU ARE A GENIUS👏👏👏👏

[@CarolAnnNapolitano]

I'm glad I found your video's, your so much fun! Since I went gray, I miss my dark roots, that's a good way to bring em back, at least for a while. Did you put those high lites in the dark hair? Thanks

[@carolkir]

Fascinating! I happen to be a mature daily wig-wearer, for medical reasons. I switch up my wig colors all the time--red, blonde, blonde rooted, brown---but I haven't tried gray yet. Seems a strangely phony wig color for a woman my age (your age plus ten or so). Right...think about it for a moment. Still, doing my makeup today, in dark auburn hair, felt challenging. I've been blonde for the last few months, using light makeup, especially around the eyes. (Secret: eye ageing may well account for a lot of older "blond" women. Some of us just aren't blessed with hair--of any color--after menopause. So I wonder how you "coped" with this brunette transformation, after experimenting with your relatively new gray hair. (I wonder, too, whether I'd like myself in a great silver-gray wig. It's an option, when one is nearly hair-free!) PS: I just discovered your channel--LOVE your videos, especially the rambling, damned real ones.

[@neeloferseward5898]

Love you as a brunette!!

[@ohcarolshow]

Hi Monique...I got your email but I cant find it now to respond ...Ha! but thank you so so so much! Thanks for sharing my list of mature woman and thanks for subbing too!! I am trying to find this wig you are showing ...it looks gorgeous on you!! It is no longer there by going thru the link...but can you tell me the name of it? Thank you and you did an awesome job with this wig..I love your technique!! xoxoxoxox Love Carol!!

[@RizaHariati]

You look beautiful with grey hair. But really, withouth the grey you look so much younger. Maybe you should mix your grey with pink/violet toning.

[@RizaHariati]

***** She does. I just remember this Guy Tang who colors hair from silver to silver lavender. While the silver make the client look older, the silver lavender made her looks younger and trendier.

[@Victoria-vj3wv]

Riza - That would be such a fun collaboration video to see Guy Tang do her hair! She is such a beauty and he is amazing.

[@RizaHariati]

Victoria Agree

[@Tobedouglas2]

Victoria u

[@lisellesloan3191]

Also, the longer hair makes her look younger. I think grey hair with dark roots would be a good look, also.

[@melindavermes7705]

Wow!

[@roxyglitterqueen6339]

wow love this look on you love all your videos you look amazing xo

[@xaroulamarin9806]

You look like you are 20 with dark hair and with the silver you look like million dollars. I love every look of yours I wish I could recrate it. Please come and teach me. :)

[@lynnrose7562]

[@cold2day9]

[@GINPHIL1960]

[@lorhayes7]

Wow! I guess it is not just hair color, because you look 20 years younger.

[@thetimeofmylife698]

Hi, I'm new to you channel. Loving it. Do they make a gray spray to try on before you go completely gray. I'm so tired on dreading the gray streak to appear bc it means...time to color my hair again...Yikers

[@nzozuk]

you look instantly 10 years younger with this wig..

[@a.k.466]

Great!!! I love either look...but can you please? speak up a little...you have such a sweet, soft voice and it's a little hard to hear although my speaker volumes are maxed. :)

[@gloriabrill]

HAHAHA!! CELEBRATE YOUR DIVORCE!!

[@pjmundy8257]

So pretty as a brunette, but there is nothing like your silver hair, short!!

[@pjmundy8257]

YES, I have gray hair too and now when I put on a dark haired wig, OH NO. I look "dull". Your current hair style is what I have always wanted, but never "seen it". Hence, my obsession!! haha

[@debraolson5063]

[@sherribaker1546]

Your face is way too young looking for the grey. I'd go darker but either way, you're a stunning woman.
