Make Something With a Multi-Vitamin Complex: I'm Still Sitting Un-Employed and Home-Less, In-Capable of Doing any Thing I Never Intended to Inspire to Do. 😶. Respectively. Tanika Nakeya Lewis, 6127
@@Naptural85... I'm giving you advice that I haven't tried yet, but it's been said that rinsing your hair with "rice water" during your wash routine can get rid of the grey hairs.
I started listening to this video. I don't listen everyday like I want. Did notice a few greys disappeared. There's another video for gray hair that's longer. I haven't tried it yet. 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!💐 Oh some say wheatgrass changed the hair back grey. ruclips.net/video/wQLuRh5CKxI/видео.htmlsi=rXwZ95BoLJMP6FIx
Amazing that you could STILL be so popular on YT, have THE BEST natural hair products, run a business, be a mom. It's no longer JUST hair advice, we love WHITNEY herself!!! I'm still here for it!!!
If my intuition and her track record are anything to go by... Whitney is unstoppable, no matter what life throws at her. She is absolutely an inspiration... Grey hair or not. Love is being shipped ur way girl!❤🇬🇧❤🇬🇧❤

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.

You've earned those grays through hard work, heartbreak, wisdom and experience. We've been there too, and success is the best revenge. Be accepted for who you are, not how you look. I'm 67, and the freedom is real. 💕
Yes, they don't stop checking or talking. I have more younger men and older trying to talk to me than ever. No you don't become invisible. No day do I walk outside am I ever invisible. Men are too needy and they always want something. It's a no for me. I'm in Egypt living my best life without one.
Girl. When you took your hair down, I did not see the gray. But I totally understand, and thank you so much for creating a space for this conversation.
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.

The graying, the thinning hair, the changes in texture....the struggle is REAL for us Menopausal & Perimenpausal ladies! Thanks for shedding light on some of that struggle!
Henna is gentle and safer to dye hair. I am 55 and use Indigo Henna to color my hair because I hate the orangish tint that my hair turns if I use Neutral henna.
Foods or supplements that contain copper (the mineral) help to prevent greys and I recommend using them. The melanocytes (the cells that give the hair its color need copper and other minerals to be healthy.
I started getting gray hair around 20 years old. People used to say, "That means you are going to get money." Well, I am still waiting for the abundance of money, but I know it is coming. Whitney, your hair is gorgeous....gray hair and all.
My first gray hair was found at 18 or 19 I believe and I was CONFOUNDED!! Little by little since my 20s I’ve had them here and there. It really started picking up speed in my 30s and all I could think was “this isn’t fair!”

Whitney, I started dyeing my hair at age of 43, and at age 63 I stopped because I wanted to embrace my age and all that comes with it! Now that you are embracing yours, your next addition to the Melanin Hair Family should be purple shampoo and conditioner to help maintain those greys! You heard it here first girl! Love you!
I just colored my grey hair today...as long as there is a hair color I will dye my hair. I feel so much better when I don't see grey hair. You are such a awesome woman. Keep on doing your thang lady~
Meeeee too! Amen. Colouring those grey hairs is the way for me - makes me soooo happy😊. Do what pleases you in your life. 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 🎉❤

I feel the same way. I’m a mature woman of 70 years old however, I get mistaken for late 40’ or 50’s. Women with gray hair are overlooked treating us like we are out of the game and in the rocking chair, baby I love to enjoy life the rocking chair is for someone else not me.
Yaaas! Get👏🏾IT!👏🏾 And this is what I’m saying wth! Because I saw a complete difference when my hair was dyed and when the grays were growing in in between coloring them. It’s CRAZY how you just… disappear! But learning to take this next life stage with grace 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Taking back control is so important to help us feel good and love ourselves. Thank you for sharing this. I struggle with the speed at which my grey hairs pop up. I'm aiming to leave my grey Fairlight in the front too. With you sister!
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. ❤
This totally resonated with me. Thank you. 💗 I turn 50 in July, and I'm still dyeing the gray. I just had a convo on Glamazini's channel about what a struggle it's been for me. I appreciate you giving all of us grace.

I just dyed my grey hairs today after trying to embrace it. It’s been growing in like crazy for the last 4 years for me as well. I have no clue when I will start to fully embrace it but in my early thirties is not it. 😅

I felt this !!! The last 5 years whooped my behind… early menopause, high stress, major life changes! 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 have more people ask me about my hair now that it’s gray than I ever did when I was coloring it. In the end, I think everyone should present themselves the way they feel most comfortable. Thank you for continuing to share your journey!😊
Definitely resonates! I'm 47.. stayed greying in my 30's. Got tired of dying it and decided to embrace my grey for 3 years. It was ok because I was married and my husband supported it. But now I'm going through a separation, preparing for divorce and I too feel invisible! I've had sooo many thoughts of coloring it.
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 🤎
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.

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.

@Naptural85 Thank you so much! 💕 I do have a strong support system and I am very greatful. I believe that you are a powerful force to be reckoned with. With your extensive ability and the support of your both family personal and virtual you can do anything and go anywhere. I hope that you will remember yourself more. You stand on a mountain top and you deserve to be there because you made the climb. I really admire you and all that you have accomplished. You're awesome!💕💓
Whitney...you are a mother and a businesswoman. The grays are a badge of you LIVING....you are a beautiful, talented woman and I have been watching you since the beginning and I'm so happy for your success! ❤❤❤
Sometimes I wish people could view themselves from the eyes of others who truly see their beauty. Like looking at an old photo album and seeing how you truly looked when you’re not ultra scanning yourself for flaws! You are beautiful with or without grays! I’m so happy you’re not dealing with the crisis any longer! I will continue to buy your wonderful products!
It’s absolutely gorgeous. Take all the time you need to accept it. I’m loc’d and fully grey except for the blue ends. I started to grey during the separation from my husband and the way he left. Now I see my grey as proof that I made it through and I have the wisdom to help someone else. It takes time but once you’re there there’s nothing anyone can say or do to stop the glow.

Thank you for the raw feelings that you spoke on. I appreciate it. We live so strong as women and often don't share how we are feeling, coping and the physical and emotional effects of it all. 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!
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.

I recently decided to let my grays come in. my hair grows sooo fast and I just got tired of doing that dance you so accurately described! 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 ❤

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! ❤
Soooo RELATABLE! You are absolutely right - grey hair seems to signal to society that we are in the “final” moments and time to box us in! So happy to see your journey through this Whitney❤❤❤❤
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.

I have embraced mine as they are all in the front. I am looking forward to going fully gray 🙂Yes, I'm content where I am in my life and I'm happy you're at peace.
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.
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.
So sorry your Divorce was horrible, we quickly learn, you don’t Divorce the same person you Married. He deserves nothing! I saw you support him through his entire Nursing Journey. He’ll get what he deserves, stay strong. Your Hair is Gorgeous, Sending you positive Vibes!
Once again, I appreciate how vulnerable you’re being with us. Though I don’t have a ton of grays yet, I absolutely understand when you said it felt like your circumstances had control over you and how that was affecting your appearance. I’m working on taking my life back now. Thank you Whit for sharing this new journey.
#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 34yo, and my greys are slowly starting to pop up. I have 3 kids, so my life is BUSY! I really love the Stacy London look, and I cannot wait to be a silver fox when the time is right! I understand how you are feeling though, and your hair is beautiful ❤
As a fellow natural girlie, I'm starting to learn about copper and how that can help you not grow as many grays. I don't know much yet, but am intrigued by the thought.
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❣️

Have you ever tried Amla? Amla naturally darkens grays. I am in my 40s closer to 50 and I don’t have gray hair. I also take a Amla supplement because it is naturally high in vitamin C. Amla is also good for people that are pre-diabetic or have diabetes. Thank you Whitney for the video, I have been watching and following for years. I’m glad 🙂 your doing well ❤

I am 53 and have been graying for 13 years. For years I have been wanting to follow your henna technique but couldn't get myself to go through with dying my hair. You are beautiful with or without grays❣️🙏🏾
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.
Thanks for the honest conversation.....I do not like my gray hair......I always looked at my elder female relatives with gray hair and wondered if I would look the same if I ever reached those respective ages......my great aunt will be 90 this summer...she's my grandmother's baby sister.....she stopped dying her hair around age 87-88 as she had started to use a walker.....she wears a wig but will get one of us to dye it for her (senior facility has a hair room).....she says the grays grow back too fast and that gray hair just doesn't look right on her....I feel the same as I resemble her complexion, features, etc......after a medical emergency in 2022 I noticed I had grays on my right edges😔🙄😩then I let my weight/waist go😖I am trying to get back to me....I keep the roots dyed bc gray just does not look good on me too and it does grow back too fast....❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌✌✌✌✌
Hey Whitney! Thank God you made it through the storms of your life. You have a successful hair care company, RUclips, two people children and the best is still to come. Keep pressing on
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. 🙌🏼❤️

Girl, I had no idea that your hair was so long, and growis so fast!! I appreciate you and your honest and educational videos. Your commentary on your life challenges is REAL!!
God has blessed you with a beautiful head of healthy hair and included a double blessing of grey hair. Be the way God made you. He doesn’t make mistakes. Peace be with you
I'm 43 yrs old and I stopped dying my hair last fall. My BF prefers that I keep it colored because he says that I look too young to have gray hair. Personally, I love it. Its been around 7-8 months since my last dye job so A LOT has grown out. My grays are mainly in my crown and I have a pretty well defind streak in the front. I've cut the front of my hair into layers to help get rid of some of my dyed ends and I feel like it helped with the look. When I wear it in a bun, I get a killer streak within it. When I part it on the side there is a streak in my bangs. I think it helps when you try to style the hair in a way that compliments where the gray grows out. Your idea to only dye the back sounds like a great plan. Its should be a nice way to gracefelly grow into the next stage of hair life. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this video!!!
I'm 56 my hair is 80% grey hair and I love it. I don't live for people's opinion when it comes to things that happen naturally in my life. A wrinkle here and there, and my Grey's that I love. To put dye in it just does not feel right and natural. But to each their own.

I’ve grown with you throughout my hair journey. I started watching you when I was a baby natural, had a baby when you had Theo, got a divorce and started going super gray during the pandemic. You’ve always been there to affirm me❤
I’m your age, single but childfree and also went to cosmetology, although when I was in my early 20s. And I’ve been rocking my grey hair since the beginning. I like them but also people think I’m still in my early 20s because my face looks young. I didn’t want to deal with the color maintenance or finally growing out the color.
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?

Beautiful person, beautiful hair (grey or dyed)! You have been a force in the natural hair game for so many years and have helped so many. Have grace on yourself and do whatever you need to do to keep you feeling great about yourself!! Peace and blessings, Whitney!!🎉❤✨️
Hey Whitney...I started watching your videos when I was 48 going through my divorce from someone I met when I was 17. So I can definitely relate. I shaved my head and went natural and your tips during my hair journey really helped me mentally and physically. I am now 58 and I'm not ready to embrace my greys yet. However, I love seeing them coming back very fast after I dye them. It's a sign that my hair is growing fast. I just want to say that you are an inspiration to us all when it comes to natural hair and everything else you have been through. I'm glad that you're doing well personally. You have done excellent work through out the years. You deserve the very best life has to offer. Keep doing what you do. God bless you my beautiful sister!!❤❤❤🙏🙏
Girl, I’m 27 with gray hairs in the middle front of my hair also. Graying early runs on my dad’s side of the family and I’ve had gray hairs (that have progressively increased) since I was about 19. It’s noticeable now in braids or any hairstyle I have my hair parted in. I get your reasoning for dying your hair which is ok. I’m trying to embrace my natural hair color (and I have dark skin so I don’t think gray hair wouldn’t look bad with my complexion). I for one will still respect you and your company even if you go gray. Just like men can bald in their early 20’s, people can also gray early. When did gray hair disqualify one to be in the beauty industry? Do you!
Just this week I was finally seeing how much gray I have at age 36 and was wanting to dye it black. Now I’m gonna reconsider and just “see” how it looks and feels awhile longer 😊! This was so timely and relatable ❤ thanks for sharing !!
I can so resonate with all you shared! I'm in my early 40s but my grey hairs rapidly spread the my hairline in the past few years through lots of stress. I struggle to embrace them as I look lot younger and it creates a lot of negative comments. I've tried henna but it takes so much effort and the colour isn't always good. Now I use black hair shampoo (although weekly) and feel much better! Love all your advice on here ❤
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.
I believe this as well. I think it's health related/ genetics. Now if stress causes one to eat improperly and become unhealthy, that's a different story.
This resonates with me. I’m 51 and my gray has increased. Just leaned that I’m deficient in iron and vitamin D. Which also explains my hair thinning. 😂 This perimenopause ain’t no joke.
Not 100% true. Genetics plays a factor as well. My dad had some gray hairs since he was 16 years old and now my sister, brothers, and I also started seeing lots of grays in our early 30s
@@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.
Wow this is deep it's speaking to what I'm going through with my hair. I have so much gray around my edges bc of the past 2 yrs of stress. So thank you Whitney. You are loved
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.
Nope! Some women's periods don't stop until they are in their late 50s-early 60s. Until it stops pregnant happen. My friend is an L&D nurse and regularly has women in their 40s-50s in there.
@@jdbailey442 It's not a question of whether the signal reflects actual reality. Real or not, it is what the brain subconsciously perceives, and so that's why you see people with grey hair being treated differently when they hide their grey with no other changes. This is a youth centric society, so it sways that way here, but another society may revere the elderly, so it swings towards more respect with grey. In both cases the signal is 'left child bearing life phase and entered elder phase.'
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. I say all that to say, I get it.
understand the struggle. Been there doing that! I started greying early(35). The grey signicantly increased during the later years of a bad marriage and even more during the divorce. I found that it was harder fighting the grey than welcoming it. I get so many compliments from men and women on my grey hair. I watched Samantha Pollack videos that gave so much encouragement about going grey. She was my grey hair She-ro!
@@Naptural85greys are beautiful. You are beautiful! Glad to hear you're overcoming your struggles and continuing to grow even more successful than ever. I hope you feel secure and loved
This video really hit me. I'm happy you were able to overcome your obstacles and i know exactly how you feel regarding how stress can have an affect on your body, mind and soul. When you said you looked in the mirror and could no longer recognize the woman you knew and how society looks at you when you have grays as a 51 year old woman I really felt that❤
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. 🙏🏽
I appreciate your transparency. You are a brave woman. I started greying in my 20s & most people (sometimes myself) attributed that to being in grad school trying to get a doctorate degree. At 35, i decided no color although i loved it before natural. I am my full time hair stylist & it took A LOT to get comfortable with my hair. I worried about changes in curl patterns & having to continue to dye my hair. At 40, greys remain unruly but I'm good. I often get compliments & asked if its real. (🤨) But personal growth is what i value in life & in my appearance. Whit, you're beautiful. Keep pushing.
they so damn disrespectful…my gray starting to come in REAL strong…all up and through my microlocs…I wanna dye but my loctician has been encouraging me to “just embrace em”…ugggh

I just let my grey grow. Eff it. I'm tired of keeping up with the maintenance of it all. I like easy breezy everything. Natural hair. Natural nails. Minimal jewelry and make up. Simple, clean, healthy beauty is my goal.
An older lady with beautiful super healthy long locs. Her hair was jet black. She said she rinse her hair with sage. To use sage to darken gray hair, you can boil half a cup of dried sage in two cups of water, let it sit for a couple of hours, strain it, and apply it to your hair after shampooing for 15-20 minutes. You can repeat this process weekly.
I'm in my 20s and I have grey hair sporadicly throughout my head and I have always found it pretty cool especially when i've seen other black women online showing off there's. 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!!!
Such a meaningful conversation you have started. I also faced huge life transitions, stress, and deep uncertainty that lead to an influx of gray hair. I actually got my first cute little streak of white hair at 14 years old after my mother passed away. It wasn't very noticeable and when it was I wore it as a badge of honor. However, as soon as my life circumstances got unruly and so did my hair, I could no longer style my hair freely. With natural hair, the textures just made it look like I had something stuck in my hair, which made me look more unkempt. I looked to you for advice and you delivered. You are such a trusted voice, because you care about hair care over aesthetics. Aesthetics still matter, but not at the detriment of your hair or your integrity. Thank you for continually being a natural hair North Star.
We love you Whitney! I just turned 41 and I feel you. I’ve aged so much in the last 5 years after having my 2 kids. The stress of both births and postpartum really took a toll on me. The grays are grayinggg. My stylist recommended highlights and it’s really worked well for me. So it’s not really covering the gray but blending blonds, browns and grays so it’s less noticeable. I def feel you on the becoming invisible part. Women go through so much. What looks dignified and refined on men makes us look old, worn and undesirable…especially in the awkward stage. Someday I’ll embrace them but not right now
same girl. Started out all "yay! I am embracing my true self" and then it hit that critical mass: it's too much grey for me to feel cute but it's not enough grey for me to feel awesome. basically it was cute until it wasn't lol. And it take a whole a** long time to get to allover goddess grey. I am also in this looooong phase. Your reasons for dying totally make sense to me, this one here is not judging. At any rate, I will be staying tuned with your progress whatever direction it takes!
💜🙏💪👍 blessings to everyone,if you haven't yet repented and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please do so before it's too late, it's not God's will for none to perish Acts 2 vs 38 John 3 vs 16 Romans 10 vs 13

You've earned those grays through hard work, heartbreak, wisdom and experience. We've been there too, and success is the best revenge. Be accepted for who you are, not how you look. I'm 67, and the freedom is real. 💕
Aw thank you Nita! 🥰🙏🏾 Congratulations on your freedom as well! ❤❤❤
Yes, they don't stop checking or talking. I have more younger men and older trying to talk to me than ever. No you don't become invisible. No day do I walk outside am I ever invisible. Men are too needy and they always want something. It's a no for me. I'm in Egypt living my best life without one.
You couldn't have said it better. 👏🏾 ❤
Girl. When you took your hair down, I did not see the gray. But I totally understand, and thank you so much for creating a space for this conversation.
Nita!!! ❤🎉
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
@coralinejean-baptiste9941
Many grannies got curvy bodies.
BIGEN 59 SIMPLE SOLLUTION !
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.
I had my first greyed hair at 18. At 29 in two weeks I have many. Everyone in my family greyed early.

The graying, the thinning hair, the changes in texture....the struggle is REAL for us Menopausal & Perimenpausal ladies! Thanks for shedding light on some of that struggle!
Yes sorry to say but it only gets worse,, I dye mine twice a year and wear wigs, not ready to go grey yet
Henna is gentle and safer to dye hair. I am 55 and use Indigo Henna to color my hair because I hate the orangish tint that my hair turns if I use Neutral henna.
@@NovemberReigneneutral henna is cassia and doesn't colour hair
Foods or supplements that contain copper (the mineral) help to prevent greys and I recommend using them. The melanocytes (the cells that give the hair its color need copper and other minerals to be healthy.
She’s in her 30s…
I started getting gray hair around 20 years old. People used to say, "That means you are going to get money." Well, I am still waiting for the abundance of money, but I know it is coming. Whitney, your hair is gorgeous....gray hair and all.
My first gray hair was found at 18 or 19 I believe and I was CONFOUNDED!! Little by little since my 20s I’ve had them here and there. It really started picking up speed in my 30s and all I could think was “this isn’t fair!”

Whitney, I started dyeing my hair at age of 43, and at age 63 I stopped because I wanted to embrace my age and all that comes with it! Now that you are embracing yours, your next addition to the Melanin Hair Family should be purple shampoo and conditioner to help maintain those greys! You heard it here first girl! Love you!
THIS!!! ☝🏽✨️
Brilliant
Yep!
completely agree!!!!🙌
Ooo good idea
I just colored my grey hair today...as long as there is a hair color I will dye my hair. I feel so much better when I don't see grey hair. You are such a awesome woman. Keep on doing your thang lady~
Amen and hallelujah! LOL
Meeeee too! Amen. Colouring those grey hairs is the way for me - makes me soooo happy😊. Do what pleases you in your life. 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 🎉❤

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."

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 feel the same way. I’m a mature woman of 70 years old however, I get mistaken for late 40’ or 50’s. Women with gray hair are overlooked treating us like we are out of the game and in the rocking chair, baby I love to enjoy life the rocking chair is for someone else not me.
Yaaas! Get👏🏾IT!👏🏾 And this is what I’m saying wth! Because I saw a complete difference when my hair was dyed and when the grays were growing in in between coloring them. It’s CRAZY how you just… disappear! But learning to take this next life stage with grace 🙏🏾🙏🏾
😂
Taking back control is so important to help us feel good and love ourselves. Thank you for sharing this. I struggle with the speed at which my grey hairs pop up. I'm aiming to leave my grey Fairlight in the front too. With you sister!
I love your confidence and agree with you 💯; I am 55 and my grays are coming in more by the day.
I love my grey below arm pit length hair. Mine is in the front so it is like natural highlights. I am 57 but people think I am in my 30s.😊
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. ❤
What do you use?
@@msbuttercup2073 I use the organic gel dye at SPROUTS.
I hear you. At 69 I'm not ready yet, so continue to color my roots.
@msbuttercup2073 I purchased 3 different kinds at SPROUTS... still undecided on which I like the most.
This totally resonated with me. Thank you. 💗 I turn 50 in July, and I'm still dyeing the gray. I just had a convo on Glamazini's channel about what a struggle it's been for me. I appreciate you giving all of us grace.
if you aren't already to use demi color you won't have the harsh color line if you do decide to go gray.

I just dyed my grey hairs today after trying to embrace it. It’s been growing in like crazy for the last 4 years for me as well. I have no clue when I will start to fully embrace it but in my early thirties is not it. 😅
If Cher hasn’t embraced her grey hair then when I get older I won’t be embracing it either😂

The fact that you have survived and thrives, been the best Mom you could be, cut your hair all the way off, several times and it has stayed persistent and grew back even better every time is a blessing and nothing short of amazing!

I felt this !!! The last 5 years whooped my behind… early menopause, high stress, major life changes! 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 have more people ask me about my hair now that it’s gray than I ever did when I was coloring it. In the end, I think everyone should present themselves the way they feel most comfortable. Thank you for continuing to share your journey!😊
Definitely resonates! I'm 47.. stayed greying in my 30's. Got tired of dying it and decided to embrace my grey for 3 years. It was ok because I was married and my husband supported it. But now I'm going through a separation, preparing for divorce and I too feel invisible! I've had sooo many thoughts of coloring it.
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 🤎
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!! ❤❤

@@GodsDisciple7 That was really moving. Thank you so much. I love you too!🧡
@Naptural85 Thank you so much! 💕 I do have a strong support system and I am very greatful. I believe that you are a powerful force to be reckoned with. With your extensive ability and the support of your both family personal and virtual you can do anything and go anywhere. I hope that you will remember yourself more. You stand on a mountain top and you deserve to be there because you made the climb. I really admire you and all that you have accomplished. You're awesome!💕💓
Whitney...you are a mother and a businesswoman. The grays are a badge of you LIVING....you are a beautiful, talented woman and I have been watching you since the beginning and I'm so happy for your success! ❤❤❤
Sometimes I wish people could view themselves from the eyes of others who truly see their beauty. Like looking at an old photo album and seeing how you truly looked when you’re not ultra scanning yourself for flaws! You are beautiful with or without grays! I’m so happy you’re not dealing with the crisis any longer! I will continue to buy your wonderful products!
It’s absolutely gorgeous. Take all the time you need to accept it. I’m loc’d and fully grey except for the blue ends. I started to grey during the separation from my husband and the way he left. Now I see my grey as proof that I made it through and I have the wisdom to help someone else. It takes time but once you’re there there’s nothing anyone can say or do to stop the glow.
That’s is literally my total story.. I’m just 15 years older.. but I am totally salt and pepper.. loving it.. enjoy your choice as it and your journey

Thank you for the raw feelings that you spoke on. I appreciate it. We live so strong as women and often don't share how we are feeling, coping and the physical and emotional effects of it all. 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!
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.
Thank you ❤

I recently decided to let my grays come in. my hair grows sooo fast and I just got tired of doing that dance you so accurately described! 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 ❤

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! ❤
Soooo RELATABLE! You are absolutely right - grey hair seems to signal to society that we are in the “final” moments and time to box us in! So happy to see your journey through this Whitney❤❤❤❤
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.
Rinse hair color will not but permanent is a chemical that strips your hair shaft ….but either way, do what makes you happy
Experiment with henna and indigo powder. They work for me.
You can use natural powders for dye like indigo and henna

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.
And always remember it’s not what others think of u but how u feel about yourself. U need to do whatever makes u happy, never apologize for being u. Confidence is the true beauty🫶🏾

I have embraced mine as they are all in the front. I am looking forward to going fully gray 🙂Yes, I'm content where I am in my life and I'm happy you're at peace.
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.
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.
So sorry your Divorce was horrible, we quickly learn, you don’t Divorce the same person you Married. He deserves nothing! I saw you support him through his entire Nursing Journey. He’ll get what he deserves, stay strong. Your Hair is Gorgeous, Sending you positive Vibes!
Do you have his version of the story?😅
@@Anonyme67he cheated and that’s disrespectful. He didn’t love her
@@Anonyme67apparently you're new here!.
@@avonnehuggins2122 im new here and curious, what happened ? :O
Once again, I appreciate how vulnerable you’re being with us. Though I don’t have a ton of grays yet, I absolutely understand when you said it felt like your circumstances had control over you and how that was affecting your appearance. I’m working on taking my life back now. Thank you Whit for sharing this new journey.
#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.
Feeling the same with my grays!
😭💯! Like WHO is that in the mirror maam PLEASE.

I'm 34yo, and my greys are slowly starting to pop up. I have 3 kids, so my life is BUSY! I really love the Stacy London look, and I cannot wait to be a silver fox when the time is right! I understand how you are feeling though, and your hair is beautiful ❤
As a fellow natural girlie, I'm starting to learn about copper and how that can help you not grow as many grays. I don't know much yet, but am intrigued by the thought.
And blackstrap molasses.
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❣️
I prayed for gray hair. GOD answered my prayer and I am loving it. My sister told me, you have more gray hair than me. I never comment back.

Have you ever tried Amla? Amla naturally darkens grays. I am in my 40s closer to 50 and I don’t have gray hair. I also take a Amla supplement because it is naturally high in vitamin C. Amla is also good for people that are pre-diabetic or have diabetes. Thank you Whitney for the video, I have been watching and following for years. I’m glad 🙂 your doing well ❤
How do you use it ?
@@staciegreene2262 check hennasook on youtube. They are all in the ayurverid herbs like henna.
Can you recommend which brand of supplements you use and how do you use it on your hair?? Thank you!

Thank you for sharing
I am 53 and have been graying for 13 years. For years I have been wanting to follow your henna technique but couldn't get myself to go through with dying my hair.
You are beautiful with or without grays❣️🙏🏾
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.
Well said. The gray hair journey is definitely a different thing.
Transparency matters… Thanks for this! ✨🫶🏾✨
Thanks for the honest conversation.....I do not like my gray hair......I always looked at my elder female relatives with gray hair and wondered if I would look the same if I ever reached those respective ages......my great aunt will be 90 this summer...she's my grandmother's baby sister.....she stopped dying her hair around age 87-88 as she had started to use a walker.....she wears a wig but will get one of us to dye it for her (senior facility has a hair room).....she says the grays grow back too fast and that gray hair just doesn't look right on her....I feel the same as I resemble her complexion, features, etc......after a medical emergency in 2022 I noticed I had grays on my right edges😔🙄😩then I let my weight/waist go😖I am trying to get back to me....I keep the roots dyed bc gray just does not look good on me too and it does grow back too fast....❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌✌✌✌✌
Hey Whitney! Thank God you made it through the storms of your life. You have a successful hair care company, RUclips, two people children and the best is still to come. Keep pressing on
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. 🙌🏼❤️
This a good discussion about the changes we go through.
I was just thinking about my gray hair when this video popped up. Had it since my 20s, but now in 40s it feels different to have it.

Girl, I had no idea that your hair was so long, and growis so fast!! I appreciate you and your honest and educational videos. Your commentary on your life challenges is REAL!!
I meant "GROWS so fast!!!"
God has blessed you with a beautiful head of healthy hair and included a double blessing of grey hair. Be the way God made you. He doesn’t make mistakes.
Peace be with you
I'm 43 yrs old and I stopped dying my hair last fall. My BF prefers that I keep it colored because he says that I look too young to have gray hair. Personally, I love it. Its been around 7-8 months since my last dye job so A LOT has grown out. My grays are mainly in my crown and I have a pretty well defind streak in the front. I've cut the front of my hair into layers to help get rid of some of my dyed ends and I feel like it helped with the look. When I wear it in a bun, I get a killer streak within it. When I part it on the side there is a streak in my bangs. I think it helps when you try to style the hair in a way that compliments where the gray grows out. Your idea to only dye the back sounds like a great plan. Its should be a nice way to gracefelly grow into the next stage of hair life. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this video!!!
I'm 56 my hair is 80% grey hair and I love it. I don't live for people's opinion when it comes to things that happen naturally in my life. A wrinkle here and there, and my Grey's that I love. To put dye in it just does not feel right and natural. But to each their own.

I’ve grown with you throughout my hair journey. I started watching you when I was a baby natural, had a baby when you had Theo, got a divorce and started going super gray during the pandemic. You’ve always been there to affirm me❤
I’m your age, single but childfree and also went to cosmetology, although when I was in my early 20s.
And I’ve been rocking my grey hair since the beginning.
I like them but also people think I’m still in my early 20s because my face looks young.
I didn’t want to deal with the color maintenance or finally growing out the color.
Thissss! Rock that grey!! Isn’t it liberating?? Why fight it? Lolol

I appreciate hearing you express some of your concerns with gray because I was struggling with what I wanted to do with mine.
Beautiful person, beautiful hair (grey or dyed)! You have been a force in the natural hair game for so many years and have helped so many. Have grace on yourself and do whatever you need to do to keep you feeling great about yourself!! Peace and blessings, Whitney!!🎉❤✨️
Hey Whitney...I started watching your videos when I was 48 going through my divorce from someone I met when I was 17. So I can definitely relate. I shaved my head and went natural and your tips during my hair journey really helped me mentally and physically. I am now 58 and I'm not ready to embrace my greys yet. However, I love seeing them coming back very fast after I dye them. It's a sign that my hair is growing fast. I just want to say that you are an inspiration to us all when it comes to natural hair and everything else you have been through. I'm glad that you're doing well personally. You have done excellent work through out the years. You deserve the very best life has to offer. Keep doing what you do. God bless you my beautiful sister!!❤❤❤🙏🙏
I have fully embraced “God’s Color”! The most liberating thing I have ever done. I get a ton of compliments too!
Girl, I’m 27 with gray hairs in the middle front of my hair also. Graying early runs on my dad’s side of the family and I’ve had gray hairs (that have progressively increased) since I was about 19. It’s noticeable now in braids or any hairstyle I have my hair parted in. I get your reasoning for dying your hair which is ok. I’m trying to embrace my natural hair color (and I have dark skin so I don’t think gray hair wouldn’t look bad with my complexion). I for one will still respect you and your company even if you go gray. Just like men can bald in their early 20’s, people can also gray early. When did gray hair disqualify one to be in the beauty industry? Do you!
I'm just glad we have hair options- I'm too lazy to dye, but I don't love them grays.......do love my Melanin products still!
Just this week I was finally seeing how much gray I have at age 36 and was wanting to dye it black. Now I’m gonna reconsider and just “see” how it looks and feels awhile longer 😊! This was so timely and relatable ❤ thanks for sharing !!
Thank you for this conversation… You are appreciated❤
I can so resonate with all you shared! I'm in my early 40s but my grey hairs rapidly spread the my hairline in the past few years through lots of stress. I struggle to embrace them as I look lot younger and it creates a lot of negative comments. I've tried henna but it takes so much effort and the colour isn't always good. Now I use black hair shampoo (although weekly) and feel much better! Love all your advice on here ❤
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.
I believe this as well. I think it's health related/ genetics. Now if stress causes one to eat improperly and become unhealthy, that's a different story.
This resonates with me. I’m 51 and my gray has increased. Just leaned that I’m deficient in iron and vitamin D. Which also explains my hair thinning. 😂 This perimenopause ain’t no joke.
Not 100% true. Genetics plays a factor as well. My dad had some gray hairs since he was 16 years old and now my sister, brothers, and I also started seeing lots of grays in our early 30s
@@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.
Vitamins B6, B12, and D3 give myself and many others terrible breakouts. Cystic acne.
OMG listening to you showing so vulnerable saying the things a lot of us think and feel but don't say!!! 😭😭😍😍
I'm 50 this year. And I decided to not dye my gray hair anymore. It started growing out and made peace with it
Wow this is deep it's speaking to what I'm going through with my hair. I have so much gray around my edges bc of the past 2 yrs of stress. So thank you Whitney. You are loved
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.
I agree, I started having gray hair at 24years old. Has nothing to do with fertility.
Nope! Some women's periods don't stop until they are in their late 50s-early 60s. Until it stops pregnant happen. My friend is an L&D nurse and regularly has women in their 40s-50s in there.
@@jdbailey442 It's not a question of whether the signal reflects actual reality. Real or not, it is what the brain subconsciously perceives, and so that's why you see people with grey hair being treated differently when they hide their grey with no other changes. This is a youth centric society, so it sways that way here, but another society may revere the elderly, so it swings towards more respect with grey. In both cases the signal is 'left child bearing life phase and entered elder phase.'
Whitney, you explained so clearly exactly how I feel about the grey hair crisis/dilemma issue. Thank you.
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.
I say all that to say, I get it.
understand the struggle. Been there doing that! I started greying early(35). The grey signicantly increased during the later years of a bad marriage and even more during the divorce. I found that it was harder fighting the grey than welcoming it. I get so many compliments from men and women on my grey hair. I watched Samantha Pollack videos that gave so much encouragement about going grey. She was my grey hair She-ro!
nap: "...i've been allowing my grey hair to grow.."
me: yay 😅
nap: "don't get too excited"
me: awww 😢
❤❤❤❤ the result was on point like always
🤣🤣🤣I know yall too well 😆 Thank you somuch Bendj! 🤗

This video really hit me.
I'm happy you were able to overcome your obstacles and i know exactly how you feel regarding how stress can have an affect on your body, mind and soul.
When you said you looked in the mirror and could no longer recognize the woman you knew and how society looks at you when you have grays as a 51 year old woman I really felt that❤
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. 🙏🏽
I appreciate your transparency. You are a brave woman. I started greying in my 20s & most people (sometimes myself) attributed that to being in grad school trying to get a doctorate degree. At 35, i decided no color although i loved it before natural. I am my full time hair stylist & it took A LOT to get comfortable with my hair. I worried about changes in curl patterns & having to continue to dye my hair. At 40, greys remain unruly but I'm good. I often get compliments & asked if its real. (🤨) But personal growth is what i value in life & in my appearance. Whit, you're beautiful. Keep pushing.
they so damn disrespectful…my gray starting to come in REAL strong…all up and through my microlocs…I wanna dye but my loctician has been encouraging me to “just embrace em”…ugggh
This is me and my microlocs. Chile, I can't embrace them just yet, I tried for a few months and they had to go lol
This comment! I’m currently experiencing this exact same thing with my sisterlocks & my loctician is saying the same 😭🤣🤣🤣!
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.❤️
Love how honestly u acknowledged reality. Grey only rocks if you are celebrity 🙄🙄🙄
I just let my grey grow. Eff it. I'm tired of keeping up with the maintenance of it all. I like easy breezy everything. Natural hair. Natural nails. Minimal jewelry and make up. Simple, clean, healthy beauty is my goal.
An older lady with beautiful super healthy long locs. Her hair was jet black. She said she rinse her hair with sage. To use sage to darken gray hair, you can boil half a cup of dried sage in two cups of water, let it sit for a couple of hours, strain it, and apply it to your hair after shampooing for 15-20 minutes. You can repeat this process weekly.
Good Lord your hair is so thick and beautiful ❤️
I'm in my 20s and I have grey hair sporadicly throughout my head and I have always found it pretty cool especially when i've seen other black women online showing off there's. 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!!!
Such a meaningful conversation you have started. I also faced huge life transitions, stress, and deep uncertainty that lead to an influx of gray hair. I actually got my first cute little streak of white hair at 14 years old after my mother passed away. It wasn't very noticeable and when it was I wore it as a badge of honor. However, as soon as my life circumstances got unruly and so did my hair, I could no longer style my hair freely. With natural hair, the textures just made it look like I had something stuck in my hair, which made me look more unkempt. I looked to you for advice and you delivered. You are such a trusted voice, because you care about hair care over aesthetics. Aesthetics still matter, but not at the detriment of your hair or your integrity. Thank you for continually being a natural hair North Star.
Great video. I've be rocking with you for almost 13 years. My grays took over the frint of my head. I became ma'am overnight. 😂 it's all good.
I became " mama" to guys.🤣🥺
We love you Whitney! I just turned 41 and I feel you. I’ve aged so much in the last 5 years after having my 2 kids. The stress of both births and postpartum really took a toll on me. The grays are grayinggg. My stylist recommended highlights and it’s really worked well for me. So it’s not really covering the gray but blending blonds, browns and grays so it’s less noticeable. I def feel you on the becoming invisible part. Women go through so much. What looks dignified and refined on men makes us look old, worn and undesirable…especially in the awkward stage. Someday I’ll embrace them but not right now
Hi Whitney!!!🎉
Hey hey!!
same girl. Started out all "yay! I am embracing my true self" and then it hit that critical mass: it's too much grey for me to feel cute but it's not enough grey for me to feel awesome. basically it was cute until it wasn't lol. And it take a whole a** long time to get to allover goddess grey.
I am also in this looooong phase. Your reasons for dying totally make sense to me, this one here is not judging.
At any rate, I will be staying tuned with your progress whatever direction it takes!
Early, your hair is beautiful❤❤❤
XO! Thank you so much sis! I hope you enjoy the video! ❤
"Progress, Growth, Healing..." Thank you so much for being so vulnerable with your tribe. Love you and proud of you! Cheers!
💜🙏💪👍 blessings to everyone,if you haven't yet repented and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please do so before it's too late, it's not God's will for none to perish Acts 2 vs 38 John 3 vs 16 Romans 10 vs 13
