Young Age Gray Hair - An Easy Fix!

Here are is my in salon gray coverage tutorial featuring Redken’s cover fusion line for multi faceted and great gray coverage. Also talked about how common gray hair is on young clients and wanted to shed some light on this topic. We need to normalize gray because it has nothing to do with age and is way more common than we think!
Root touch up color formula
1.5 oz of 5NN Redken cover fusion + 20 vol
Applied and let process for about 35 minutes
(45 mins for super stubborn gray)

I started getting gray hair at the age of 17, now I'm 26 I cover it regularly but sometimes I get tired and I just let it be I'm sick with people making it seem like a disease or something to be ashamed of!!! It's natural and very human so please ladies don't lose your self confidence over this

[@luckyladycharm]

I actually had people tell me that I had gray before I was aware that I had gray. It was a little unsettling, I was about in my mid 20's and I really thought that I'd be all gray early but years and years later I'm about 40%, very salt and pepper.

[@TheFearlessGirl108]

As I watch your video, I notice how gentle, thoughtful, and methodical you are in handling your client's hair....you have such a kind approach. I think this caught my attention because it's such a stark contrast to my first visit at a salon. The stylist was so rough and rushed through the process, it was unpleasant. Good on you! Your clients are fortunate to have you.

[@Kugu-gm3ey]

[@hannahmanager7646]

I started getting white hair at 24, and I have dark brown hair. Now, at 37 it's already everywhere and it affected my confidence tbh. But watching this and seeing others on the same boat, kind of gives me a push...so thank you🙏❤️

[@Jj_86]

Girl yes I’m 36 & my grays are awful

[@ushiwaka19]

Same. Had a Rogue (Xmen) streak of silver on the left since I was in my early 20’s. I’m 36 and honestly I’ve never had to visit a salon for colouring but this March just gone I noticed I’ve greyed all over just like the client in the video. Like I greyed overnight 😮

[@Jess0212]

I’m 36. As a natural dark brunette, I had wanted to be platinum blonde most of my life. A few years ago, I stopped getting my hair bleached and “accepted” being a brunette. Then shortly after, I noticed a ton of white hairs. Now, I’m over 60-70% white/silver on the top of my head with it spread more sparsely through the rest of my hair. I started doing temp dyes but I just can’t keep up with the maintenance and it’s really knocked my self esteem. I’m already unable to work due to health issues, and that is beyond hard enough but now my appearance is also making me lose so much confidence at my age. I’m hoping to find a way to (cheaply) blend my white/silver hair with my natural so I can embrace my hair color turning white at such a young age and also not have such harsh lines of demarcation. (I’ve let it just grow out with no temp colors for almost two years now though)

[@jennyliggins9418]

I started going grey noticeably around 39. I'm nearly 41 and dye my hair often. I love how fresh I feel after I colour it and although I dint have an issue with anyone else going grey...I've decided I love the glossy...rich colour far to much and it makes me feel good. That's the most important think....do your thing :)

[@juliea.]

My hair started going gray when I was 17. At 37, I stopped covering it with hair dye. I'm 40 now and am quite happy with not coloring it. Have you thought about doing a video on natural gray hair styling, or even a video on women who purposely dye their hair gray/silver?

[@JackOllie4]

Yes, please!

[@lafandenuel5605]

Until I was 36 o 37 I had like 15 white hairs total in my whole head, that I had perfectly located and dealt with them by parting. But then, whitening accelerated, now I'm almost 39 and I think I'll be almost a 10-15% white right now. I actually don't care going silver-white. This is the way it has to be. They're not visible unless you're really close to my hair and I know people at my age have considerably more white hairs than I do. Plus, I'm a level 6-7 and they look like highlights, mostly around the face.

[@user-cg4fm4tl4j]

Yes please I need that too

[@joniheisenberg6691]

Me too ! So happy, I stopped dying it. My hair is much healthier and I get many compliments.

Brown hair has a lot of red undertones. I know because my hair is medium brown with red undertones. I was told by a hair colorist to use ash brown hair color to take out the red undertones. Just saying. 😊

[@GenXer333]

Very pretty color. Only problem with continuing to dye your roots dark, is it's a never ending battle. Damaging over time and expensive. Also, difficult and pricey over time if you want to go light. I dyed my hair dark brown for years (I grayed early), and kept getting that "skunk streak" line every 4-5 wks (my hair grows fast). So, I decided to go much lighter. I've spent nearly 2k this past year to go more blonde (should be there by spring/summer) and the grey roots aren't as noticeable when they grow out (thank you balayage and highlights!). End the headaches, ladies. Ditch the dark brown and go lighter! 😁

[@tiffanymichelle3130]

GenXer I just do my own. No headaches and very little cost. It’s just roots, that doesn’t need a pro.

Please do a video on tips how to transition from natural blond hair to gray gradually. I'm in my eary 30s. I have natural strawberry blond hair. Pretty thin hair but a fair amount of it. Stick straight and soft. I'm getting a fair white hairs mosty around my hairline. It's gotten to the pint that it looks like white highights abouve my ears. Women in my family historically have gone white not gray pretty early in their lives. To be honest I'm looking forward to this time so I can play with pastel colours etc. However I's like to make a transition from strawberry blond (almost a readhed on second and third day hair) to this white as smooth as possible. I'd like to do it without damaging my oretty healthy hair in the process too. I've searched interned hight and low an all I can find is how to make transition from dying you hair to letting it grow out to gray less noticeably, with highlights lowlights babylights bleaching etc. But NOTHING on hw to transition from natural to grey.

Nooooo.... keep going with the blonde. Lol. I've been in the process for a year, and I'm almost there! Once you achieve your blonde, greys won't be as noticeable. I got impatient years ago when I was first trying to transition from dark brown to blonde. Gave up and went dark brown again. Big mistake and I regretted it. Now I'm a year (and nearly 2k) in, with corrective coloring, bleaching, etc., and learned a valuable (and expensive lesson). Light hair is the friend of greys. 😁
