Shy Librarian Gets a Sizzling Makeover From OG Queer Eye Member Kyan Douglas

[@violetsnotviolence]

Her husband doesn't like her gray hair? Really? That's what usually happens when you get older. He needs to get over that.

[@Garland67]

Yeah, considering his hair is totally white, she said!

[@pinkfreud62]

Well, I'm 56 and I don't like gray hair, either. I'd rather color, look younger than not get over it.

[@admerin6961]

Husbands always expect more than they are willing to do themselves.

[@violetsnotviolence]

@@pinkfreud62 That's cool if you want to do that. Nothing wrong with wanting to look your best. My problem was with the husband's remarks about this lady's hair.

[@shejean]

Bluesommers Art Most middle-aged men look great with gray hair; not so women. I don’t know why, but gray hair really ages a woman...especially if it’s a dowdy gray. Why wouldn’t her husband want his wife to look her best? She looked much older than she is.

[@dianadivadiamond]

What a transformation. I'm in Awe. She looks 20yrs younger. Love the look and the hair looks FABULOUS. 👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤

[@aprildevito648]

She looks Great!!!

[@MadsDMads]

She seems like a kind woman. I can sense a gentle and loving soul. You are worthy! ❤️

[@crazycatlady4437]

I feel like I coulda picked her out a more flattering outfit

[@angelaward9991]

Me too!

[@tomillakockingbird1754]

It's not too bad, but the glasses have got to go! Uuuuugly!!!

[@Doggiemix1]

She looks great! So much younger and vibrant. Very professional too.

[@debbiepotter4592]

Hahaha. Anything but in this silly clothes

[@Jan_YTview]

Highlights in grey hair to get a 2 tone look is nice but let the silver shine.. we earned them. 😉 it's nice also to boost her self esteem with a new outfit.

[@kristinetank3959]

Rachael needs a makeover for cripes sake!

[@TubeTorte]

I have watched a few of these and had the same reaction. Especially when she was wearing a big turtleneck! Made her look neckless. Why aren't they giving her advice off camera if nothing else?

[@MsNatureMaiden]

Rachel looks way too frumpy to be appearing on National television, much less hosting a makeover segment. Sorry, Rachel, but there just is no justification for your appearing in such an unappealing, unprofessional look.

[@cosmicmuffin322]

They should have given her a long bob and kept the grey with an icy wash and highlights around the face to brighten it. God damn her husband, her hair is beautiful. And sequin pants with leopard shoes? I mean really 🤦‍♀️

[@crazycatlady4437]

Yes!

[@debibarrington8348]

Wow calm down its not that serious

[@gailhill1599]

Not to mention the hot pink lipstick with the red shirt. And the color looks cheap I hate to say. Weird tones, not blended and zero shine.

[@theycallmechar3341]

Amy Bee it’s just a different look! It’s nothing wrong with doing something different in your life...it’s hair it will grow back...the color is not permanent it will wash out over time...she’s looks good!

[@LoriSF124]

Amy Bee They’d be adorable for like a after dinner party. You know all laid back? But not everyday clothes.

[@SuperSkittyCat]

I think a lot of these people go back to their old looks.Rachael should check on them in 2 years.

[@janinecorwin9414]

Could be. But, a lot of people embrace the change and carry it on.

[@Garland67]

WOW!!! That's one of the best transformations I've ever seen. Stunning. She looks like a different person. Imagine the boost to her self esteem.

[@shejean]

Garland5 Check out the ones done on Kathie Lee and Hoda’s Show. So much better. A lot are up on KZbin

[@Ms7of8]

She really does look fabulous. The "new" clothes, however, are simply atrocious.

[@LoriSF124]

Ms7of8 You think so? Glad I’m not the only one.

[@Tae_B831]

The top wasn't bad and her necklace was chunky, it looked like the type she already wore just a different color. Those pants and that shoe though I hate.

[@meganr9280]

Yes, I thought the same. Doesn’t flatter her figure at all

[@elenaarman-tang7811]

I agree! The outfit, shoes and fuschia lipstick are a big NO.

[@TubeTorte]

@@meganr9280 The bunion sticking out of the shoe too. Jeez!!

[@sarahsavagebassett7134]

I love that they gave her a change without permanently damaging the beautiful gray that she has working! I also really like that they worked with her style sensibilities (at least for her hair), with the simple cut. Good job, she looks great!

[@malindarayallen]

Her grey hair was beautiful. Such a waste.

[@Garland67]

Not really though.....it was beautiful just not on her at that age. You have to admit the new length, cut and color was stunning.

[@eileenm.1413]

She looks 15 years younger. I am 100% grey. I've been coloring it for years. Not ready to look my age just yet 😉

[@LoriSF124]

malindarayallen Agree! Total waste

[@cdelgado5596]

I think she looks fantastic everything she has on including the glasses fantastic

[@sandyberger-r9j]

No stylist can handle long hair. The only thing they know is to cut it short. After losing ten inches more than I askedfor, I‘ve decided to cut my hair myself. I also figured out how to cut it around my face so it doesn‘t pull down too much. Oh, and I have embraced my grey hair, too.. It makes me look unique and dying hair gives just way too much money to an industry that produces chemicals which damage us and our environment.

[@LoriSF124]

Sandy Wichmann Yayyyy! For us! I will NOT change. I’m seeing on this post we have a LOT of individual women that support and love those of us that don’t want all that stuff. Although she does look good both ways. I just don’t understand why men get older and are referred to as distinguished while women we must ‘change’

[@tink268]

For real!!

[@CindymeCindy]

You know. Older women with silver hair do not need to be "fixed". Her hair was gorgeous. Just needed the split ends cut off. Now you've made a fake "younger woman" out of her. You are keeping the misogyny alive by always trying to make women look younger and younger in order to improve their value while men get to age.

[@nursebennie3256]

I totally agree. It's okay that they look like s%^t but they always want thier women always looking good or younger. I've seen ALOT of older women in thier 60's and 70's that keep themselves VERY nice but then thier husbands look like a broken down pile of dog s^%t. Smh. Unreal.

[@LoriSF124]

Cindy 🖤🖤🖤

[@deborahl3083]

I agree

[@iamchangingtoo]

I hate that they cut her hair. Why does every makeover involve a hair cut?

[@deborahl3083]

Arodys cuz they’re changing it each time

[@kerrymuir9891]

aw she was such a cool old chick and now its like shes an older woman trying to look "young" -- kyan meant well but NO

[@gretebremseth1622]

KERRY MUIR Look at the trusers they put her in!!!! Cringe!

[@Luciiffeerr]

I totally agree. People don’t understand elegance and class. I think she would have looked so good in her grey hair but shorter to soften her face a bit. Grey hair is so beautiful. But society doesn’t “allow” women to embrace it. And women who says “but I colour my hair because I want to” doesn’t understand that they are brainwashed by society standards and norms.

[@yokie52]

What a ridiculous outfit? At least match her personality..where the hell is this librarian going to wear this ridiculous outfit? C'mon...

[@rainbowpandasays8851]

Yokie Miller I know right !? Glitter pants , cheetah heels ... the top parts are beautiful

[@theycallmechar3341]

Yokie Miller I agree

[@gigiweakley5198]

Grey is a crown of knowledge and wisdom...nothing to be ashamed of. ...I'm 50 years old and mine is starting to turn grey and I plan on leaving it that way...once you get a certain age and mature and know what life is really about, you don't care what people think anymore, it's so freeing 😍😘🤩

[@aaroncain403]

That outfit is ticky-tacky.

[@plantifulvegan4198]

[@amaz3624]

[@mzbeyoutiful4691]

She look AMAZING!!!

[@dinahassan4320]

You were already very beautiful as now ❤️

[@didleydo]

She definitely looks different, but I thought she was pretty before and just needed a cut. I liked the gray...maybe just shorter.

[@ashtherealqueen]

Yes, just a new hair style, keep the natural gray, a little make up and a better outfit than what they made her wear.

[@LoriSF124]

peapotter3 Yep!! That bit she held up was all that needed cutting. Personally I’d have asked for some side bangs. But only because I wear them and love them. She reminded me so much of me at the beginning. I would have felt absolutely ridiculous the way they had her dressed at the end. Although she’s pretty both ways. Just more down to earth and comfortable

[@tammykriskie2233]

She looks Beautiful ! I love her hairstyle color and cut.

[@reemclaughlin4260]

[@janinecorwin9414]

It would've been interesting to see how the grey looked after the cut. It probably reflected light more favorably.

[@malindarayallen]

If they had cut it, then the grey would have looked more striking, because her ends were darker.

[@LoriSF124]

I liked the care and time he put into her hair, and even considered her grooming routine style and the grow-out process. I just wish they kept the turquoise and silver and made it killer and edgy; that way she’s still the same person, but just with a update.

[@babsphillips9263]

Men who do NOTHING to improve their looks have NO RIGHT to criticize or make negative comments about what a women/wife should do!! If a guy's hair is gray or even white, he has NO RIGHT to tell his wife he doesn't like her gray hair! Why do hair stylists think it's cool to cut bangs that do nothing but hang in someone's face/eyes? I HATE them!!! I agree with Sunita...she looked so much better before. Loved her really long salt/pepper hair and natural look. I'm inspired to let me hair grow even longer now!

Before was a very cool look 50 years ago. They could have done as much with a makeup tutorial and a fashion update. Veneers would have done more for a glam look than the glitzy clothing.

Got news for this guy. My experience was temporary color becomes a permanent line in time. After I let my hair go grey I got compliments from total strangers! You do need a good cut with layers for body though if you want to keep it long. The pants are absurd & the shoes a bad fit. I want to see what her husband looks like.

[@lilypoon1175]

She's so cute!

[@jamieakagibby]

Took 10 years off of her look! She looks stunning!

[@beteeho]

Don't be misled. Whether temporary, semi-permanent, demi-permanent, or permanent it is not going to fade all the way back to the natural hair color. There will be a line of demarcation. As a professional, it offends me when other professionals use the fading in the sales pitch.

[@PatriciaGarcia-ip6ge]

Thank You for telling the truth. The thought of how she is going to feel when her roots come is sad. And her husband is an ass for telling her she she looked old with grey hair. They should have colored his hair not hers.

[@shejean]

Mary Roybal How many middle-aged men do you know dye their hair?? The only ‘dye’ I see in the stores for men is Just For Men; a comb-in gradual coloring. But, no men I know use it. Most men look great with gray hair; not so with women. Especially if it’s a ‘dowdy’ gray. Why would any women want to look older than they are? I find them lazy. It takes 30 minutes every 3 months or so to color your hair in your bathroom. 5-10 minutes a day to put on a little make up. You feel so much better when you try to look your best.

"I haven't cut my hair in 10 years." Why not? No hair dressers in your town? Also, we do look older with gray hair - just a fact. Not saying you should color it, but why not?
