What it's really like to be Fully Grey at 30 ✨ Natural Grey Hair since age 13

[@purpleheart3000]

I think people dig for negative stories because they're looking for a heroic character who triumphed over their bullies. If they can tell a story about someone who overcame their struggles, it can be held up for others to inspire. Unfortunately, there often aren't enough bad stories to use without becoming repetitive, so they have to dig deeper for more bad or, heaven forbid, make it up or embellish. It is a real shame.people can't just be inspired by hearing that people are already supportive or don't bully. You'd think that would be a good thing, but I guess people can't live without drama lol.

[@piccalillipit9211]

Ive got a heroic story and I am an author now so I get asked all the time to write about it. I had a crushing poor childhood and became quite rich. But the truth is, as it is for almost everyone, it was basically pure blind luck. I had worked hard for 25 years and my company went randomly viral. Literally, NO ONE wants to read that. They want this story of amazing struggle and intelligence.

[@heatherjnel1600]

Did we watch the same video?

[@kingajuhasz6745]

Be so so so proud of yourself and your hair because you are absolutely the prettiest sheperd I’ve ever seen! I think people want to hear negative stories more because they would calm down themselves with the thought there is always worst life than theirs.

Well if you don’t have grey hair you don’t know….I not always look good.

[@p0ison_0ak33]

Me too and I'm damn near 40, not 1 grey😅

[@PetThePeeves]

I am jealous, myself. I’m 37 and just now have enough grey hairs to call it “going grey”. And I’m so excited. The women on my mom’s side have grey hair like yours…different tints and tones. Gorgeous. They also have a white streak at the front and I’ve been obsessing over whether it mostly comes in there first (it has cross fingers). My mom dyed hers until she was almost fully grey and then just stopped. I’m guessing that was when she was early 40s. I won’t be dyeing mine. I’ll look excellent with it. I love yours and I love that you’re so uplifting about it. So many women (and men I suppose) worry about it.

[@throughcolouredglasses9300]

This is so nice to hear :) for me it's not genetics, but I've been through a ton of stress in my early 20s and started finding my first grey hairs at age 22/23. No matter how I part my hair, there is always a hand full of grey hairs. My natural colour is dark blonde so people keep telling me you can't see it until you get very close and look at my hair specifically. But I can see it and I'm very aware of it. It feels weird, like, I'm not upset about it? But I am quite focused on it whenever I remember while parting my hair or something. It's strange to look at. Not negative strange, but i can't stop looking for it, separating a grey one out to experience the different texture it has, etc. It's different from the first 20 years of my life. But it's subtle enough that I haven't exactly "gotten used to it" over the past 2 years. Idk, I would love to talk about my grey hair, because talking about stuff is how I sort my thoughts and connect to people. But when I bring it up everyone is so quick to dismiss it. It's always either older family members telling me it's nothing compared to their grey hair, or people saying nobody can tell so it's fine. Is it so much to ask that I just wanna talk about it, neutrally? Imagine any other neutral topic like idk what show you watched recently and people go "oh don't worry soon you won't think about it anymore" or "nobody can tell that you watched it so you're good :)". I just want to engage with it the same way I engage with every minor change in my life, by sharing with my friends and family.

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

The texture is different, it's kind of neat! And I was constantly parting my hair in different places trying to see if I was finally getting a neat streak! I of couse didn't, so now I have made my own with blue and purple dyes. The white hairs never really offended me the way these dang wrinkles that keep popping up (and now some accursed chin hairs) do.

[@TheMaimiable]

I started greying when I was 14 and have colered it since then , now I'm 41 and decided to stop. thanks to your cool video 😄

[@jamiefesus2839]

[@katiebarger5012]

I don't use permanent hair color ever since I started getting grays because I see it as a sign of wisdom, I'm only 29. I absolutely love your hair and that is what brought me to your channel but I stuck around for your personality and content 💚 keep making the world smile and sharing your excitement for life!

[@notme1255]

Same. Also similar age and going grey around my crown mostly. I'm thinking of adding some more at the front (artificially) to create some accents/highlights LOL

[@adriennea1348]

I know plenty of people who are proper silver and aren't wise at all. So that's an old wives' tale. But that doesn't mean it looks bad!

[@InsaneLaughter01]

Deadass, grey hair is perfect for coloring. Beet root for pink, Tumeric for sunny gold Indigo for light blue. And it washed out in like a week. And the natural grey makes it look natural.

[@withelisa]

My grandmother was pale grey/white by age 30! And her husband never found a single grey hair until age 90. They were cute couple haha

Until 90 yeh nice story😂

[@piccalillipit9211]

*THE SHOCKING THING ABOUT THIS VIDEO* is that you are 30...!!! I thought you were about 24. Ironically the early greying makes it HARDER to judge your age I think. The dichotomy of the hair and the face tricks the mind.

[@colenexoxo8939]

You Are Beautiful but I did think you were older than 30. Not because of your hair. You just seem more Idk more mature than a 30 yr old.❤

[@beatrizmedina_mabe]

I was somehow bullied for my gray hair, but I was in my 40s. People kept telling me that I should dye my hair and that I was being sloppy, lazy and negligent by NOT dyeing it.

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

I got the same BS for not wearing a bra to work. I'm sorry that happened to you. Screw arbitrary social constructs!

[@naomimay82]

I am 40 and I do not dye my hair. Has nothing to do with being lazy! People are rude. Don’t let them get you down! I have bad reactions to hair dye and get blisters on my scalp. I learned in my early 20s that I was not one of those women who would be able to dye my hair as I aged. No biggie. I am healthier because I do not dye my hair AND my gray is coming in perfectly at my temples. When my hair is down, it does not look gray, but when it is up, it looks gray. My face looks young though, so I don’t look like I should have gray hair yet.

[@roberta4522]

Those dyes harm our fertility as women, its so backwards

[@kearstinnekenerson6676]

I’m 33 and am being told to grow out my grey stripes

[@claraf.6833]

My mom was also gray in her early 40s. She had me at 38 (almost 39) and always said me and my 2 sister (2 years older than me) caused her to go gray. She died her hair twice, but since she has had pretty short hair since she was in her early 20s, she'd have to redye every month or so. That was too expensive for her, she just owned it afterwards.

[@YasminHirao]

So relatable O-O I'm also going gray at 30 and as a kid with lots of gray hair, I never got told anything mean. It was only when I got to my twenties that some older women (who I believe might have been upset with they're own graying situation) told me I would look more beautiful if I dyed my hair. It made me a bit upset, and I even dyed my hair crazy colors sometimes, but now that I am turning 32, I'm totally fine with the way my hair is (color and texture wise).

[@Scapeh]

I adore your hair, and am even a little jealous! As a young child, I remember seeing my grandmother's hair as she was starting to turn silver and I asked her about it, and she said "We get sparklers in our hair" and I just thought that was so fabulous. The women in my family (particularly from my maternal side) start off golden blonde, darken to various stages of brunette (at 27 I'm just now coming out of my sandyblonde and into a more mousey brown) and then we start to get silver fairly late, depending. I personally cannot wait until I start to sparkle, and I make a point to tell all of the older ladies I meet that I love their hair, because I think is beautiful. You can tell when they haven't heard it in a long time because they seem to always be so surprised. Perhaps it's just because I live within the US, but it seems like there's a negative association with age and going grey and older women being undesirable. I can see media outlets (if not looking for the underdog overcoming obstacles trope they so love) would want to see how "going grey" would affect (particularly young women and girls) people who are in that "prime of life" where they are considered most (aesthetically) valuable by society.

[@fionafornarina]

You have so nice space buns. And the length of the hair sticks is perfectly tuned to this hair style. It is not easy to get this so symmetric.

[@Videosias-v3s]

[@cakeorpurse]

Thank you for your videos. I have been slowing growing greys in my hair since I turned 23 and it has been such an insecurity of mine. I am 28 now and the greys have increased drastically, which left me feeling very upset and feeling quite old and ugly. After seeing your videos and how beautiful and confident you are, I now feel more confident to allow my greys to grow out and hopefully I will learn to love them! Lots of love from Australia! ♥️

[@tesselllation]

Australia has a nasty sexist culture about greis and I would like to grow mine too instead of bleaching my hair ugly yellow blond and wrecking the environment in the process with thousands of other slaves to the beauty myth

[@Jewgirl2911]

I found my first gray in my 40’s and I tried to bleach and cover them. Until 2020, when I decided to allow my gray to come out and now, I’m starting to see more and I’m so excited about my gray! Wish I would’ve had your attitude in my younger years - it’s so exciting to see you embrace it all. Shalom and blessings.

[@girlwithoutpearlearring]

I think we just love to hear about drama in other people's lives. The point mentioned below, that negativity sells, ties into this. We want to be shocked and aghast, we want to be able to feel like we have the moral highground by either publicly or privately condemning the aggressor or sympathising with the victim. It's a form of entertainment. I would call it sick if I wasn't convinced that it's deeply ingrained in human nature.

This video is amazing.❤ Finally someone i can connect, i am currently going through the same thing. Due to genetics, mine started graying at 15 and now most of my hair is grey. I'm just in my early 20's and people older than me has started advising me all sorts of things. I haven't dyed it yet. Although I have gotten bullied for my grayed strands when i was in my high school and now people just look at me with pity for it. I don't wanna dye my hair as it is not advisable for my hair type and using chemicals would only lead to further damage and more white strands. People like you are so inspirational❤❤

[@SondraStellaria]

Honestly, people can be terribly presumptuous. I wish I could see you and your hair; I’m sure it’s lovely and I definitely feel like if you’ve not used chemicals on it that you should stick with your natural hair to keep it healthy. I’m proud of you for not caving into trends and peer pressure and keeping your hair natural. I have almost black hair and I always admired my Mexican Grandmother for her beautiful salt and pepper hair. My hair isn’t doing the beautiful salt and pepper thing because my hair is not black but a rather dark brown. I’m trying to embrace my gray hairs but they are so wiry like antenna and really like to stick straight out from my head. At 48 I have noticed some thinning and perhaps that’s in part why the silver hairs pop out like they do. Anyways- I admire you for embracing your youthful shimmering silvers and hope you can inspire others like you have inspired me. 🤍

[@withluvdee1046]

I'm so happy to see you back... and shouty shepherd of course. I wish I could have been like you and embraced my grays when I was younger but, alas, I was too vain and scared. Thankfully, I grew my gray out five years ago and it is amazing. Keep being you Pretty Shepherd 💗💗💗

[@shanimarais9695]

I think your hair is stunning. Mine started graying at 19, but a couple of weeks after my heart attack in my early 30's it went snow white except for a strip in the front center. Lol. I shaved my head when I was 42 and have grown it out since 2017 until now and it's just just past my waste. I have the exact same hair regime as you and thankfully no split ends...

[@angelinimartini]

That’s crazy! We are about the same age and we started graying at around the same age. I am not full gray yet but it has been an interesting experience. I started greying in the crown and back of my head. I started to use a sharpie to make gray hairs dark when I was in grade school… then they just kept popping out more and more and I gave up on the sharpie method. 8 or so years ago I started to balayage my hair after a little old man at the store… 3 inches shorter than me said “Ooo child! You’re too young to be getting gray hair!” Being gray himself lol I found it amusing but I figured I’d start dying it. Been dying it different colors since. My roots are overgrown and I feel a little bad about it but I came across a KZbin short of you just a few minutes ago and I was like “she looks young and she has gray hair too! What’s this?!? Let me find out more!” I will be going through your channel soon as I am very interested in a different method of agriculture than what is around me currently. But just know you kind of made my evening 😅

[@QuibieGG]

I didn't go white as early as you did, finding my first white hairs when I was 20 years old. My dad immediately started saying I should dye it. I told him I wouldn't because I'd then be doing it forever and it cost a lot of money. Besides, I had two great aunts with silver hair, so I knew what I was in for. I'm 61 now and had full coverage for a couple of decades or so. (I was really sad when I no longer had a dark stripe in my ponytail.) "Grey" isn't just a trendy color among those dying their hair. I'm seeing more and more women let their hair grow naturally, which is fabulous. My children, both in their early 20s, have a lot of white hair. One has a streak coming in along the temple and the other has it scattered throughout. And, thankfully, they think it's cool. Thank you for your content. I love your hair. I admire the length!!

A positive or funny chat is always worth so much more 🌼 maybe people seek the negative about hair colour because they want to hear there was a backlash for not following the prescribed norm, maybe they want to hear it wasn't the easy option to stand apart and do your own thing? Who knows 🌼🌸🌼 embracing grey has really gained popularity over lockdown and wearing less make up 💗💗

Negativity does sell more, it's why the internet is full of nasty content. It reminded me of a Le Guin quote “The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.” It's basically the same, only watered down. Personally I love how your greys look and I wish mine would come in faster.

My mom was fully grey at 35. In the early 10s, there was this trend of celebrities dying their hair grey, regardless of age. It influenced a lot of people to let out their natural grey and embrace it and keep it. When I look around in the city today, I don't see it as much as I used to. But now that people are used to seeing it, the confidence of people who embrace the look is still making them be perceived as rather fashionable compared to before the look was a trend with celebs for a while. I think that's great because you could also call it a trend that most people will try out eventually ;-) Thanks for sharing your story. I guess it would have been easier for my mother if celebs has brought that trend in way earlier than the early 10s but the world wasn't ready for it yet it seems.

TBH, if we are talking about interviews (especially the one that wasn't published), I would guess it was because they didn't want to interview you, they wanted to interview a bully victim that was successful. Who doesn't love a success story? Especially when you can spin it as telling all the bad things that happened to person A will make person B feel better about all the bad things happening to them. Things that are distinctive are generally considered easy targets for bullying, so with your distinctive (and beautiful) hair they assumed you would fit nicely into the slot of bully victim.

I think your hair is beautiful! But also think it's worth looking into copper deficiency or getting a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. Some deficiencies can be inherited (which some people call "genetics" but it really isn't).

[@TheLaughingDove]

I got quite excited, finding my first gray hair at 16. My grandmothers both had such beautiful gray hair... It's not actually progressed for me, but I'm very much looking forward to it when it happens. I think it's quite strange that people act like it's a bad thing or even that aging is a bad thing. It's obviously a very different scenario, but your story with the interview was very relatable to me somehow. I've had a lot of things that people have bullied me for, but some of the major things people fixate on expecting that bullying to be about are the things that meant the least to me. I think in some ways, people are looking to uncover stories they expect to hear from someone, but they often lack the knowledge or imagination to really understand or listen. They have a version of the world as they understand it, and are looking to slot people into that understanding, rather than trying to grow their own internal world to try better fit what's actually in front of them, or learn what that might be. I don't understand that, much, I have always been someone who is very hungry for more understanding and I had to work harder for understanding many things other people took for granted or seemed to come naturally to them. I'm used to expecting things in the world that other people experience to be very, very different to me or my experiences, but most people seem to expect other people to be like them, and I didn't start really getting to know people until after I left that expectation behind.

At the age of 13 (puberty) my prayers were answered and my hair actually became so curly I had natural quarter sized ringlets and my hair color turned brown but with so much red highlight if I'm in the sun people think I have red hair. There is zero curly hair on either side of my family for generations, but my siblings hair turned curly about 13, and then half of the cousins on one side of my family. My mother after menopause went from very straight hair to wavy hair. All that to say that it very well could be genetic being activated by the hormonal changes during puberty which is what seems to be the case in my family. I enjoyed your cute stories and it's nice that having your natural hair color look so great on you! Many women would pay a lot of money to have the cool color you do. 😊

I rarely write anything in the comment section but I just wanted to do so after seeing your video. I have to say that I love the gray/silver-ish coloured hair. In fact, when I was 15 I used to dream of having gray hair. Now that I'm 19, my goal is - I have long hair already reaching the top of my legs - to let them grow knee length and keep them long till the day they start to become gray, because long hair is what I like, and I would like to enjoy the pleasure of having a long beautiful braid of gray hair although my age. About negativity, I think it attracts people because they're not used to singularity in general - being showed in your clothes, hair, manner of life, morals, thoughts, etc - and they find it original and bold in some positive way to be able to assume this singular difference(s). So they often ask about negative remarks because they think singularity attracts nasty comments, and also because if they were in the same situation, that's what they would fear. But a fear is nothing but a mental projection of a negative thought, so by asking about negativity, it's like wanting to confirm those fears. And I also think there can be a part of concern in this, like checking if it didn't bring you any bad experiences.

I have known your Instagram for a few years and you're one of my inspirations for quitting to dye my hair. It's not easy, though the last years situation and restrictions seems to have made it easier for many to start the transition. I'm 37 and have some visible whites, which I think is quite normal at this age, but it's not easy because generally it's socially expected to pretend you don't have them and keep dyeing maybe until you're in your 70's or so.

[@mastersnet18]

Yea seriously, even women in their 50’s and 60’s are expected to dye their hair nowadays! It’s crazy.

[@aprileliana]

I have no idea, people can be strange…but you are very creative and entertaining, and very funny. Thank you, I’ve had a rather difficult week and you have made me smile and laugh! 💗❤💗You are uniquely talented. Thank you so much. Blessings dear one. 💐💕

People want to write a story that is relatable or admirable somehow, ie someone being bullied for a feature and then going to embrace it. Especially when it's an interview, the storyline needs to be catchy, y'know? It's a ridiculous part of journalism, needing to have a villain (a bully) so the hero (the interviewee) can triumph and the journalist can give meaning to the story. Honestly, I love hearing just positive stories, those are the best kind!

[@tamama_tama]

Can't relate, I'm happy for you that you didn't get bullied for your pretty hair... I got my first gray at 15 years old and I unfortunately had to dye them back to corvine black because I got called in ugly names like grandma and stuff... By the age of 19 almost half of my head was white since I have vitiligo, but eventually I stopped caring now and I fully embraced myself as I naturally am at the age of 26!

[@sidhedanu]

I think grey hair is sparkly and beautiful, so I don't understand any negativity. I'm 43 and am excitedly awaiting my first grey hair. I'll probably end up waiting another 20 years.

[@Morimegami]

just happened to be here and immediately fell for this channel 😂💘 you are awesome!! subscribed immediately!!!

[@Wreinie]

Lol, I TOTALLY feel you! I was going grey at 16. It took me till my 40's to finally stop dying my hair... boy do I regret that I dyed my hair all those years. My natural hair colour is so beautiful! I am now an advocate to be natural :) So glad to stumble across your channel. Hitted Like, this is my comments of

[@NuNugirl]

Subscribed. I don’t know how I found you. You are fabulous❤️and so beautiful . I was immediately struck by how much you reminded me of my Grandmother Erzse . She wore her hair exactly like you. She had the same color hair. I loved watching her sit at her dressing table, carefully fixing her long hair in the morning. She made braids and fixed them on top of her head with pins and combs made from grey colored bone that perfectly matched her hair. Then I checked your channel profile. You are Hungarian! ❤ ❤❤❤❤️. She was Hungarian, born in 1887. She arrived in NYC when she was 21.

Your hair looks gorgeous! Don't ever dye it. I remember once many, many years ago watching a daytime talk show that would sometimes do makeovers on volunteer audience members. (They had a live audience.) So this one lady with grey hair volunteered to have her hair dyed and get a new outfit. The "hair expert" kept going on and on about how old this lady looked with her grey hair and that it dragged down her looks. They dyed her hair a light reddish brown and the host, the "hair expert," and the audience were all oohing and aahing about how young she now looked. But to me the hair color was too harsh and made her look even older. They forgot that a new hair color emphasizes every line on the face whereas grey hair softens them because our skin tone changes as we lose the pigments in our hair. Which is why we have little old ladies who look sick when they dye their hair the color they had in their early years. (Is that just an American thing or is it world wide?) Another time a friend was telling about one of the ladies from her church who hated the fact she was going grey to the point she would pluck out every grey hair she found. Then one day at church one of the other member complimented her on her hair. The other person said that is was amazing how all her hair on the top and sides was still her original color and all the grey hair in the back was a lovely contrast. Turns out this lady forgot that we get grey in the back, too. I think after that she stopped pulling out the grey hairs and let it go. Personally, I just turned 68 and I have very little grey hair. But I know when it all turns I will be totally white. My mum was, her sister was, and so was my Granny. I look forward to that. Last summer I dyed my hair for the first time and had purple streaks put in and I'm debating whether or not to have it touched up.

[@rebeccabonde5004]

You have such beautiful hair - and I just LOVE gray hair. Im turning 51 next week, and I am natural blonde, but startet to get some gray/ white hair now - and it makes me proud. It gives charater. It's wisdom. It shows you have been here. It looks soooo good on you even though you are so young. And it does NOT make you look older. Not. At. All !!!! You are a very beautiful !! Keep it just like that. You are so so wonderful. I love you!

[@themotherbeeco]

Okay so your hair 😍😍😍 But where do we find out about the regenerative agriculture? I really need to know because this is something I want to get into. I love your costume videos and your beautiful long hair but I never even thought about it being grey tbh

[@mysocalledreality]

Just found you and could sub fast enough! Wow super inspiring channel! t Thank you for being Love!! ✨❤️🙏🏼

[@Moncherelouis]

[@LearningWithSage]

Hey! :) I'd love to hear about the regenerative agriculture you do on your farm.

[@momof3chis291]

New subscriber, to “make your graph look prettier” ☺️. ✨💖✨

[@dolladdiction]

I love the 2 buns! Looks so pretty! I also watched your video on washing your hair 1x/month. Maybe since i don't wash my hair everyday, more like 1x/wk, my hair grows faster than a lot of my friends. Hmm... this got me thinking... maybe I can go longer and see what happens. Thanks for sucha n informative video.

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

HellooooOOOoooo I would love to see videos about any of Your collections , I especially love Antiques but collect all sorts xxx

[@nunyabidness6045]

I love your hair. I think it's beautiful. I've always wished for my hair to go silver really young. I'm almost 39 and I've got a few but not many. 😮‍💨

[@cypriennezed5640]

ShoutyShepherd cracks me up every time 😆 p.s. you're a badass

[@temaaaaaari]

I’d love to learn more about Hungarian folklore or fairy tales maybe? If there are any you know of ☺️

[@lisabarrero3052]

People can be very pass remarkable and not realise that they are being personal. Your hair, in its natural state is absolutely beautiful. I also love how comedic your videos are. You also look way younger than your age. Your natural hair colour reflects the tones in your skin very well 👍

[@carolinagomezmendoza7644]

You and Your Beautiful grey hair look Gorgeous 💖

[@MarijkeViolin]

I'm 33 and discovered my first grey hair 2 months ago. It made me excited! I spoke two friends about it, they said they pulled their first grey hairs out recently. Weird actually when you think about it. Now I almost can't wait to be fully grey, I think it looks cool. 😊
