I usually just loop it. Just look around RUclips videos and read the comments and decide if you want to use it. Thanx for your videos!💐

    My entire hair turned gray at 38, now i have big patch of white in my 40s. You get used to the "you're invisible" look, then the double checking look once they look at your face and curvy body and realize you are not a granny lol. Anyways, we have to embrace our changes little by little

      I'm in my late 20s and I think grey and white hair is so gorgeous, always have. I have a couple friends with a few strands and I keep kinda hoping I'll get some too 😂 Anyway, I know it comes with texture challenges, and the change can be hard, and as Whitney mentions in the video, some people can be gross in their attitudes towards people with grey/white hair--but since it seems that you've chosen not to dye yours, I do hope you have grown or are growing to love yours. I think that if I saw you on the street I would be doing a double take just because I thought your hair was pretty!
      I'm going to have to start making a point to compliment women with grey hair now. I usually keep it to myself as I'm a bit shy but it seems that a lot of people here would appreciate it.

      Hey there, God Loves You
      Hey, did you know God loves you more than you can imagine? He created you and wants a close relationship with you. The Bible says in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
      Our Problem
      We all mess up and make mistakes-this is what the Bible calls sin. Sin separates us from God and messes up our lives (Romans 3:23). It leads to a broken relationship with God and, ultimately, death (Romans 6:23).
      God's Solution
      But here’s the amazing part: God loves us so much that He sent Jesus, His Son, to take care of our sin problem. Jesus lived a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins. Then He rose from the dead, proving He has power over sin and death (Romans 5:8).
      What We Need to Do
      God offers us a fresh start and eternal life through Jesus. To accept this gift, we need to repent or turn away from our sins, believe in Jesus, and decide to follow Him. The Bible promises in Romans 10:9, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
      A Simple Prayer
      If you want to start a relationship with God, you can pray something like this:
      "God, I know I’ve made mistakes and need Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus died for my sins and came back to life. I turn away from my sins and invite You into my heart. I want to follow You from now on. Thank You for loving me. Amen."
      What’s Next?
      If you prayed that prayer, congratulations! You’ve started an amazing journey with God. Try to find a local church where you can learn more about Him, read the Bible, and connect with others who love Jesus.
      God bless you, Jesus loves you & I love you.

For some colouring grey or not may have nothing to do with readiness to embrace/accept grey or anything deeper. It can be as simpe as a preference not to have grey hair - i.e. purely vanity😅 which is where I happily land. For others there may be other reasons to coluur grey for example as stated in this video. I prefer the no grey look and intend to stay on that train forever 🎉❤

      God's Solution
      But here’s the amazing part: God loves us so much that He sent Jesus, His Son, to take care of our sin problem. Jesus lived a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins. Then He rose from the dead, proving He has power over sin and death (Romans 5:8).
      What We Need to Do
      God offers us a fresh start and eternal life through Jesus. To accept this gift, we need to repent or turn away from our sins, believe in Jesus, and decide to follow Him. The Bible promises in Romans 10:9, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
      A Simple Prayer
      If you want to start a relationship with God, you can pray something like this:
      "God, I know I’ve made mistakes and need Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus died for my sins and came back to life. I turn away from my sins and invite You into my heart. I want to follow You from now on. Thank You for loving me. Amen."
      What’s Next?
      If you prayed that prayer, congratulations! You’ve started an amazing journey with God. Try to find a local church where you can learn more about Him, read the Bible, and connect with others who love Jesus.
      God bless you, Jesus loves you & I love you.

    I am 66 and still dye my natural hair with organic dyes....not ready mentally or emotionally to embrace the gray. Maybe one day, but until I cross that road... I'll continue to take care of it and dye it every 3 months. ❤

I’m now early 40’s and the white hair ( grey just skipped me altogether) is having a party and invited all its friends , cousins and coworkers over to play too! I’ve embraced so much of what I can’t control, but haven’t made a decision yet on what I want to do with my aging follicles. I loced my hair a year ago and love it, but not the silver strands weaving its way down them.

    I appreciate your honesty. Transitioning to gray hair is not easy and not for everyone. I got my first gray hair when I was 19 and was horrified. I colored my hair until I was 54. I had enough at that point and transitioned to natural gray hair and have never looked back at age 65. It’s a process! ❤

    I used to dye my hair because I preferred everything to be black. But then I noticed how the dye would thin out and alter the texture of my hair and stopped immediately. I’ve learned to just embrace my grays because the alternative is not worth it to me. I’d rather healthy gray hair than thin and brittle black hair. My mindset has shifted towards aiding my body in aging gracefully than trying to cover up the aging. It’s mentally freeing.

    Thank you for this video. I’m 56 and I had some grey hair for a while. It was a small amount that wasn’t really visible until a little while ago. Due to stress regarding being laid off, trying to find another job, health and money issues, the greys decided they wanted to take over. I tried to embrace them, but I couldn’t. The person I was seeing in the mirror looked so tired, exhausted and defeated. I just colored my hair last week and I feel so much better. This is what I’m going to do for me. Down the road, maybe I’ll change my mind.

    Hi Whitney! Long time fan. Since 2011_2012!! Your video really did resonate with me. I was one of those types that would chastise people for dying their hair to cover greys. I am 47 am I am just now starting to get grey hairs that are sticking around and I wear them proudly. It's not because life was easy. I have had some pretty devastating things happen in the last 12 years but instead of the impact showing in my hair it was my body. I gained 100 lbs and became very insecure. I stopped going out, every thing. I felt like i waa an eye sore. Sometimes people even told me I was. Then i would get the lecture about covering myself up
    I should embrace my body. It was hard to embrass the large empty shell of what i was. 40 lbs down I am still insecure but my thinner friends would tell me to wear what I want because there are people much worse off and they put it all out there. I was aware of this but when I looked in the mirror, I didn't see me I just saw my fat and cellulite. I still struggle with this. In the past 10 years I have worn shorts in public only a hand full of times because I was insecure about it. Over a decade wasted hiding. Recently, I have decided to embrace my myself as I see myself not by how I look. I know that makes no sense but, I see myself as strong, feminine, independent, beautiful and practical. The mirror can't always reflect those things but it is me. So I try to live as what I am instead of how I look. Strangely, it has made me more confident and more approachable. At least so far. I only started looking at things this way recently. What your video has taught me that everyone copes and overcomes differently in ways that include how we present ourselves. You should do whatever makes you feel like you. You dont need to hear this from me but I have always thought you a beautiful woman spiritually and physically. My apologies to everyone I ever chastised.

      Aw this is such a beautiful message MsTigerseye! It completely makes sense and I love that you embrace yourself as YOU see yourself and not how you “look” to others 🙏🏾 That’s really powerful and I’m going to take that with me as well! Thank you so much for sharing that 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m sorry to hear that you went through some things the past 12 years, and I hope you’re doing and feeling better today. You have some amazing friends who love you and it sounds like they are always going to be here for you. Having that strong support system reflects on you as a person as well, and is definitely worth celebrating and being proud of. XOXO!! ❤❤

      Hey there, God Loves You
      Hey, did you know God loves you more than you can imagine? He created you and wants a close relationship with you. The Bible says in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
      Our Problem
      We all mess up and make mistakes-this is what the Bible calls sin. Sin separates us from God and messes up our lives (Romans 3:23). It leads to a broken relationship with God and, ultimately, death (Romans 6:23).
      God's Solution
      But here’s the amazing part: God loves us so much that He sent Jesus, His Son, to take care of our sin problem. Jesus lived a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins. Then He rose from the dead, proving He has power over sin and death (Romans 5:8).
      What We Need to Do
      God offers us a fresh start and eternal life through Jesus. To accept this gift, we need to repent or turn away from our sins, believe in Jesus, and decide to follow Him. The Bible promises in Romans 10:9, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
      A Simple Prayer
      If you want to start a relationship with God, you can pray something like this:
      "God, I know I’ve made mistakes and need Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus died for my sins and came back to life. I turn away from my sins and invite You into my heart. I want to follow You from now on. Thank You for loving me. Amen."
      What’s Next?
      If you prayed that prayer, congratulations! You’ve started an amazing journey with God. Try to find a local church where you can learn more about Him, read the Bible, and connect with others who love Jesus.
      God bless you, Jesus loves you & I love you.

I think a huge part of me not accepting them was because I had gained a bunch of weight due to stress and that along with the grays was aging me in a way that I couldn’t deal with. Now that the weight is finally coming off, I’m realizing that they’re not so bad. Thanks so much for sharing this, it’s EXACTLY what I needed today ❤

    Whitney, thank you so much for this conversation. I’m 33, about 50% gray and it’s been a really rough experience. For me, it has pissed me off more when people tell me not to color my hair over when people told me not to big chop back in the day 😂 they don’t have to fight this these gray wires everyday! And I know myself well enough to know I’ll never be able to keep up with a color routine. But what I’m finding is it feels like a brand new head of hair that I’m struggling to figure out. It was a lot more fun figuring out products going natural in college lol. On the bright side, when my hair is cooperating with me, it’s gorgeous. Unfortunately, that only feels like 3% of the time 😂. So I’m on the journey with ya, sis. Thank you 🤎

    Beautiful story…I always love when you share those special or intimate moments with us. I have had gray hair since I was 12, and it is just hereditary and I needed a second job to keep it dyed. It wasn’t a hard decision to just embrace the gray hair, but I understand we don’t always immediately do. I think that you are going to be beautiful no matter the decision to dye or not dye, because our hair plays such an important, intimate part of our lives. So do what works for you and your hair.

    #Boss #Working #MelaninHairCare #Gray I’m so glad you’ve shared this topic. This is something I’m struggling with right now. I’m not ready yet. I finally learned to love my natural hair with the help of your products. It’s growing healthy for the first time in my life. So baby steps are good for me.

    I'm in my late 20's, getting patches of gray hair. I discovered my first gray hair just days after my 20th birthday. I'm just so sad. I feel too young to accept and embrace it already, but it doesn't hurt to get inspired by positivity.

      I henna my gray hair. I used to follow it up with indigo to make it jet black, but it ended up being almost 8 hours of the paste being on my hair! I now just use the henna and I have reddish highlights and I leave it on for 4 hours. I want to lessen my reliance on the henna since it's so time consuming and decided to wear styles that conceals my grays as they grow around the my hairline.

      Hey there, God Loves You
      Hey, did you know God loves you more than you can imagine? He created you and wants a close relationship with you. The Bible says in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
      Our Problem
      We all mess up and make mistakes-this is what the Bible calls sin. Sin separates us from God and messes up our lives (Romans 3:23). It leads to a broken relationship with God and, ultimately, death (Romans 6:23).
      God's Solution
      But here’s the amazing part: God loves us so much that He sent Jesus, His Son, to take care of our sin problem. Jesus lived a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins. Then He rose from the dead, proving He has power over sin and death (Romans 5:8).
      What We Need to Do
      God offers us a fresh start and eternal life through Jesus. To accept this gift, we need to repent or turn away from our sins, believe in Jesus, and decide to follow Him. The Bible promises in Romans 10:9, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
      A Simple Prayer
      If you want to start a relationship with God, you can pray something like this:
      "God, I know I’ve made mistakes and need Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus died for my sins and came back to life. I turn away from my sins and invite You into my heart. I want to follow You from now on. Thank You for loving me. Amen."
      What’s Next?
      If you prayed that prayer, congratulations! You’ve started an amazing journey with God. Try to find a local church where you can learn more about Him, read the Bible, and connect with others who love Jesus.
      God bless you, Jesus loves you & I love you.

    OMG, thanks for being so honest about the gray hair situation. I’m sorry that you’re going through so much but glad that you’re slowly healing…give time, time. Soooo, I used to be very pretty when I was younger. Since Covid and the loss of five immediate family members between then and now, I look old! I’m 55 and coloring my hair for so many years damaged my hair which is now thinning considerably. I try the temporary hair gel but oh my, I feel sad, it barely kinda works. I don’t feel super pretty and confident anymore. BUT, I did pay off the house last week, so at least, there’s that. Be encouraged! You are loved. 🙌🏼❤️

With stress my hair thinned out, broke off in some places and just felt brittle. From almost tailbone length to at the shoulders again. I am regaining my hair and physical health. Still living with stress but such is life. I am a mother of 3 and my marriage of 16 years is filled with more lies than truths..... I really get it!

There's a chance they came from stress but God says that grey hair is an honor so I'm going to stand with that. It's a badge of honor to say you've experienced lifes hardships and have overcome!! I've never bullied anyone into going naturally grey but I have alway acknowledged the beauty of seeing those that do. You go Whitney!!!

    @goodwork887 Месяц назад +5

    Grey hair signals 'no longer fertile.' It's amazing how much our society (however unconsciously) values a woman's ability to have children above all else about her. Even men who consider themselves feminists still react differently to physical signals a woman is able to bear children or not. Not that it's an accurate reflection of that, but it is a subconscious signal to see grey hair. Even men not looking to have children, or other women, still are valuing women subconsciously as having more 'value' if they are seen as still fertile.

    As I am watching this video, I am looking at the grays in my hair. I totally understand how you feel about your hair graying. I can thankfully say I did not start graying until age 50. And another good thing my gray was only at my temples. I was going through a divorce and did not want to appear as a grandmother (even though I had grandchildren), so I began dying my hair. Like you my hair grows fast, so it seemed that every few weeks I was having to redo my hair. I did that for a little over a year and decided to give in to the gray. During that time my hair was relaxed. Now in my 70’s, I am fully natural and my hair is still about 70% black. Most of the gray is in my temple areas.
    I am happy to hear that with all that you have gone through, you are thriving and your business is a success. Congratulations❣️

    Someone once told me that you're not really supposed to go gray until your late 60s early 70s. If you're going gray prematurely it might be worth getting bloodwork to see what minerals you may be deficient in. If you're deficient in either vitamin D, iron, copper, and/or B12 that could be the cause of premature graying. Stress will also cause it, and some people have reported their gray hair reversing after the stress ended. My gray hair reversed after supplementing with B12.

    • @MT-yx5cu

      ​@@sabrinarae-lym8150this is so true. I met my hubby at 35 full of grey's. His mom and dad were both white at 52. My almost 70 year old mom... Is only about 10% grey, her mum died at 99, 13 years ago, still half grey. I'm 38 and only have ever had two greys yet. During alot of stress and long COVID. I pulled them out as they were only white in the middle and we're reverting to black. My husband now 45 is almost fully grey. Still gorgeous, but it's genetic. Most of my friends of the same age are greying, but their families also were prematurely grey. I'm thankful for these genetics.

    I dyed my hair platinum. I started losing my hairline and I already wear my hair in a Caesar cut. I was feeling old and not so beautiful. I was also the heaviest I have ever been in life (214-219lbs) and it was all gained white I was suffering with mental health conditions. Once I started losing weight, I decided I need3: a drastic change. So, I dyed my hair platinum which made the hairs around my edges suddenly appear. I purchased some white hair powder to fill in those areas. I love my need color especially when I get designed shaved into my cut.

    You are young Whitney and if you aren't ready do you. I am 70 and just started getting gray and it's only in front. People always think I dye my hair but I don't. Genetics play an important part of this journey with graying or not. You are young and if you want to dye it do that but do not let society dictate to you what you should or shouldn't do. For men gray is distinguish but on a woman you are old. There is no pleasing everyone so please you. 🙏🏽
