[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Hi, Lourdes - I'm so glad to hear how your husband is supportive. It matters so much! And thanks for the kind words :-)

[@BeadsandBaubs]

My husband calls me his silver fox! I’m only 9m in so have some time to go to grow out my dyed brown hair but I’m enjoying the transition and looking forward to seeing how it will look once I’m all grown in.

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Wonderful!

[@QuickSilverHair]

Thank you, my friend, for the great shout outs. You look wonderful and love the Christmas tree. ❤️❤️

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Thanks, Joli!

[@cynthiarozyckie5702]

This is all so new to me, but I am thoroughly enjoying your videos, and the site, and the FB group you suggested! This was a delightful video, I will have to see if you have some more of these morsels for me yet, lol. Thank you so much for all you do for us ladies who need and want the tribe🙂

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

You're welcome! And thanks for the kind words - it means a lot to me to hear this! ❤️

[@PoetiqueMs]

Although my main interest in your channel is the gray hair content, I wouldn't mind hearing about any of the topics you mentioned. Thanks for all the wonderful information. It helped me so much in my, now complete, transition.

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

You’re welcome! I’m so glad to hear that!

I like the chit chat videos, its nice to have something I can put on while doing other stuff that I dont necessarily have to look at. I think the wardrobe aspect would be a great addition since a lot of women seem to change their look up when embracing the gray. Skin care and even make up could also be something to explore. Health and wellness as we get older is always important so again, definitely something that I think would be a great and natural addition 👍

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

I'm so glad you liked it! I was nervous doing a more casual one but I'm going to start doing more livestreams as the last one I did was a BLAST! Thanks for your feedback :-)

[@Heavenwalk55]

Great video chat. You do a great job. I would like the “chat” format more often. I love that you answered questions. Intermittent fasting, dressing better are great topics. Would love to keep the major focus on gray hair because you have really helped me thru this 9 months AND it is a revolutionary event where we need support. Show your cats more :). (I miss Apollo too)

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Thanks, Robin! I love my kitties and definitely miss Apollo. I'll try to get them to join me more often - as you know, it's hard to get cats to do what we want them to do when we want them to do it, LOL. I will also for sure keep the focus on gray hair - just thought it would be fun to mix it up every so often :-)

[@tonjataylor710]

Yayyy - I loved this! Thanks so much for doing this video for us, Katie, it was really fun and helpful. And your hair looks so beautiful! You are such an inspiration to me to keep going on my gray hair journey😊 I would love the fashion videos and I'm an intermittent faster myself (for 2 years now), so definitely look into that - I know you will see great results and feel healthier! Have a very merry Christmas and God bless you😘

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Thank you, Tonja! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I will start working on fashion/fasting ideas for next year :-) and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas as well!

[@MH-yh8rz]

Thank you for these videos. You give me the courage to do this!

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

You are so welcome! I'm so glad to hear that!

[@boxergirl7293]

Thanks for the info! You look gorgeous with silver hair. After 45 years of root chasing I’m done dying it. I’m going to chop it short after a few months.

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Thank you! And I"m glad you're done with all that dyeing - it's so freeing and I bet your hair will feel healthier!

[@Robot_Cajun]

This was a great video! Thank you for taking the time to answer all of our questions and detailing your recommendations so thoroughly in the 'more' section. I always find something useful in your posts. And I'm in for whatever type and number of videos you decide to produce in the future. It must be so time consuming to put these things together.

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

You’re welcome! So glad you liked it ❤️. It IS time consuming but luckily it’s fun, too!

[@barbarawilson1261]

I enjoy all your videos. I'm 6 mo. In to going silver naturally. I am interested in losing 15 lbs. and am interested in intermittent fasting working up to a 3 day fast. I could also use help with my wardrobe. As a Silver Sister I don't want to look frumpy.

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Thanks Barbara! I’ll try to do more chatty videos to talk about those other things too. Especially the wardrobe - I’ve been slobby since the pandemic and want to get back to normal.

[@Suzanna-lz4wo]

I love this! Thank you for answering my question about uv products as I'm the mail courier! ❤❤

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you liked it!

[@haileyrain2390]

Ok Katie , my go to girl ! I got the products you suggested and I’m thrilled with them !!! Thank you !!!!! So I got a new question for you , what oil is best for gray hair ? I noticed my pin straight hair is now able to hold a bit of wave , because the gray that didn’t get caught in the highlights and the new growing in wants to twirl slightly . I want to use oil to define it and help nurish my hair that is damaged. I keep researching , but I keep hearing how oils darken your grey .. I want mine as silvery as it can be! Thanks !!!

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

So glad you like the products! Re: oils, I personally use Bumble & Bumble’s hairdresser’s invisible oil - i haven’t heard of any detrimental effects. Hope that helps!

[@haileyrain2390]

Thank you soooo much !!! Will definitely be looking for that oil! I’m so grateful for the Joico Kpak recommendation , that stuff is a game changer ! Ad it’s going to be essential for my hair , because the purple shampoo makes my ends so brittle ! Since I’m so thrilled with the joico , I’m looking into their moisturizing purple shampoo . And the great thing is some of the Joico comes in sample sizes on Amazon !

[@haileyrain2390]

I also want to say you’re my favorite KZbinr I’ve found on the subject ! You are so relatable and you had your journey on here from beginning , to what we all hope to achieve with our grey . And you aren’t like ,” here is what I use , this is my go to oil and costs $3,000 an ounce “ 😂. I get all excited as they hype up the product then find out it’s impossibly expensive lol

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Thank you! This is so nice to hear. I started my blog and KZbin channel because i couldn’t find the info I needed (when I went gray) so I love hearing that I’m helping other women navigate this process :-). And yeah, I don’t like spending a ton of money on everyday things - my big luxury item for gray hair is the Dyson Airwrap but it’s worth it!

[@dawnadams3044]

Thank you so much for answering my eyebrow question! ❤

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

You’re welcome! ❤️

[@BeadsandBaubs]

@@KatieGoesPlatinum what was the response? I can’t see it.

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

@@BeadsandBaubs It's at 20:46 in the video 🙂

[@Heavenwalk55]

Anyone having trouble after clicking “more” to get to amazon shopping list?

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

Hi, Robin! Thanks for pointing this out. I added all the links last night and when I saw your comment I realized a lot of them are missing. 😬 I was able to add the Amazon list but will have to add the other links when I get home.

[@suelindsey2295]

I dyed my hair dark brown in Nov and I’m thinking about going gray this year and I have three boxes of dye left to transition to grey. I have medium brown light brown and dark blonde and there all ash tone. I’m thinking of using all these boxes of dyes to transition to grey I only have only a small amount of grey at roots. My original color is dirty blonde. Is this a good plan? My hair is at long length to my middle of my back and I will cut my hair this spring to a short bob to help the transition. My hair grows about 1/4 inch a month. I’m not afraid of going grey and it kind of sounds exciting 😊

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

It's hard to say how well this plan of yours will work - my personal preference would be to go gray cold turkey but I know a lot of women don't like having the skunk stripe. The dye strip technique might be a better option for you, and since you have dirty blonde hair, it could be pretty subtle!

[@monabiehl6213]

I spent 10 months growing out my hair and I've got some salt and pepper gray. I'm not sure I like it. I don't know if I'm ready to go gray.

[@KatieGoesPlatinum]

You have to do what's best for you.

[@hornomat6099]

IMO reddish-yellow hear with the mix of grey totes look disgusting and do not make us look younger. I after not having colored my hair during Covid the quality of my hair much improved… I wish I was more consistent 4 years ago not to return to dying my hair again. Two years to reach the same length as now when I only have 1 sm grey is the ugly truth. Anyway thanks for good motivation❤
