Thank you for watching! At what age did your hair start changing color? If you want links to products used in the video or want more information, please find all of that in the description box above (click on "show more"). I value you and appreciate you spending time with me today! :)
I wanted to thank you for your heart for more mature women and the respect you bring to the topic in general...it is that attitude that has made me want to watch more of your content. I watched your share from a couple of days ago and it really touched me about the difficulties of RUclips...even when you are tough and confident, it is just hard. I think it is a really important topic. I watch another RUclipsr who shares content about Japan, who has had her channel for 10 years. She recently needed a thyroid operation and she has been struggling with her weight since then...she did a similar type of video and she admitted she was having a hard time posting videos because people on RUclips can be mean and some comments just stick with you. I know me saying this doesn't make it easier...I just wanted to share my respect. God bless!
@@eileenfang6702 Thank you so much for this comment. I'm not going to lie, that video nearly killed me to launch. It was extremely challenging to hit the "live" button and the feedback and love that I have received has been insanely overwhelming and beautiful. Sharing this with me and letting me know that other creators feel the same has meant the absolute world to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to do so.
Also, I echo Eileen's comment and really love your channel. I really appreciate and respect your position on sponsorships, and as someone with fine hair, really enjoy hearing all your recommendations. It can be so difficult to find quality channels that tackle the issues people with fine hair face
I started getting a few grays around 40, but I haven't gone much grayer since, and I'm 68. In fact, I get hair growing in that's gray on the ends and brown at the roots, so the amount of gray in my hair varies. I don't know what's going on.
oh thank god!! thank you thank you thank you!!! I am a covid gray person. i used the lock down as an opportunity to go gray. my stylist and mother were quite against my going gray as they said it looked old. i have always had shoulder length hair that is one length (with the exception of fringe) because my hair is too fine to hold layers and i can do so much more with one length hair (braids buns, twits). i have to really embrace the gray and try to walk with confidence but, hearing people like you say that gray is not the nasty taboo it used to be is so incredibly good to hear!! and that blow dryer!!! so cool!!! thank you for your videos!
I started going grey in my 20’s (my dad was 13, so I had about 10 years on him at least) Last year I stopped coloring, and went natural. I’m 54, and the front half of my hair is a beautiful platinum, and the back half is still catching up with a silvery tone. Best decision I ever made, I love it! Thank you for the wonderful videos that you do for mature beauty! ☮️💖🙏
Thank you for such a thoughtful and sweet message. I am SO HAPPY for you that you are able to embrace your natural hair! "Beautiful platinum" is the perfect way to describe it. I literally drool over that color and I hope my greys come in icy when they start. My sister has a few (she is 40) and they are like metallic white. *droool* Obsessed.
Thank you Gabi!!! I'm taking the plunge...going grey!! This video is right on time. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Your positivity and love for what you do really shines. Thank you for everything you do for us. 💕
You will love it. I colored my hair for decades and then one day it was like a light switch being flipped and I decided I was completely done with coloring it. I did a radical method for the transition. I let it grow out until the roots were about one inch and then had it cut short to that length all over. It's not for everyone but I loved the fast transition and have always loved short hair. It was amazing and I love my grey hair which is now to my shoulders.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and kind message. I am so excited for you to go grey!!! Please report back and let me know how it goes for you! I hope that you learn to really love it. It will be liberating.
Hi Gabi! I’m 53 and I started seeing greys when I was about 45. My daughter is a stylist in the desert and she’s been doing my hair since she was in cosmetology school, she had her license before she graduated high school! It’s been 14 years. No one else has touched my hair. I haven’t been through menopause yet but my hair has always been so thick and completely straight, about 12 years ago when my daughter talked me into letting my hair grow, we were all shocked when my hair started growing in curly!!! I don’t know why or how🤷🏻♀️ maybe because I always wanted my daughters, thick curly hair!!! Thought you might enjoy my story. I’m so glad I found your channel, I’ve really been enjoying your videos🌺🌺🌺
I am 58 and my hair is light blonde and I have few platinum\white hairs but it just looks like it is highlighted here and there. The white hairs are smooth, soft and not like gray hair. I stopped drying my hair with a blow dryer and stopped using all hairprodcts. it looks so much better. My hair is fine and wavy.
I started getting grey hair in my mid 50s and my daughter in her early 30s. I let the grey grow out quite a bit but I didn't like it and felt it made me look older. I'm 60 now, so I've gone back to colouring it and I feel much better and think it's more flattering for me.
I had beautiful Greige hair when it first started turning gray. It eventually started turning more white and gunmetal gray which wasn’t flattering. Now I’m coloring again and it’s so beautiful - greige blonde again/ and it gives it a ton more body to my fine hair.
Hi Gabi ~ My hair began changing in my late 30's. I colored it until my mid 50's, then grew out my silver completely. My hair was shiny and cute, but inside, I felt so old. I'm 61 now, and I'm SO glad I jumped back into coloring it my former natural brunette, with highlights.
I am in my 50s but I started noticing a few white streaks ay the age of 26yrs old. Now I have a platnium blonde streak on the top of my head. Makes me look like Lily Munster from the series The Munsters. But I do have a lot of volume on my hair. You could say I have big 80s hair and my hair is long. Down to my waist. I usually wear my hair up on a Victorian bun that shows my white streak kind of like the stepmother in Disney's Cinderella. But it's true big hair or ve jair doesakr you look younger.. I enjoyed all of your hair tips and shared this video on my Facebook.
My hair has been very slowly losing color since I was 40. I'm 52 now and just have some stark white hairs growing from my scalp. It is resistant to color too. I'm looking forward to the day it fully turns so I can stop coloring it. This is a helpful video Gabi. Thank you.
I started going grey early 20s. It started with a thin strip of gray right in front. I liked my “stripe” so I didn’t color. As I aged it got thicker and I developed more stripes, but I just decided to just go with it so I’ve never colored. I get lots of compliments on my hair because of the color and the health and volume. I’m a big proponent of embracing it and I think natural hair looks healthier and shinier.
I’ve started to watch your channel because you’re extremely honest and plain ol’ sweet! As a mother of a daughter about your age, I think you’re a true darling and enjoy watching you and learning. Thank you ❤😊
I'll be 53 in May and I don't have hardly any grants yet. But, menopause has made my flat straight hair wavy! I ain't mad at it either lol I can air dry so SO great!
I cannot express how much I love your channel❣️ You are 37 but creating so much informative and oh so helpful content for older women. I am 57 and I just find your vids so relevant and haha yes I’ll say it again helpful! I’ve watched many other channels and many are good but often I think it’s best, in most finds, find the one that resonates best and stick only with that. You are beautiful inside and out. Don’t change a thing Gabi. A fan in Florida. 🥰🥰🥰
I ate predominantly for most of my adult life. At age 49 I started eating a fair amount of red meat, and my hair is SO healthy. I can’t get over it. Grows long easily with little breakage. I have not had hair like this since I was a kud
Thank you for this share , I am all natural now platinum . I started going gray in my late forties . I haven’t touched my hair in years and it feels like it did when I 12 ! It truly is liberating to boot ! ❤
My hair started going grey when I was 30...Fast forward I started getting highlights for yrs.Then at 63my hair is now color free my hair is 90 % white/gray.I get many compliments on my hair ...Ty for the great video....
Love you and your channel Gabi! Love your honesty and professional advise. You've been a game changer for me. I'm 54 and have been struggling with the grey-change. Greying started when I was 25, ugh! I'm tired of dying my hair. You are a beautiful inspiration. Keep doing what you do best!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message. The grey fight is such a losing battle. You dye it, it looks good for two weeks and then it starts again and again and again. My grandmother was not comfortable going grey until she was in her 80s so if you want to dye it, DYE IT! But if you are just sick of it, don't feel like you HAVE to dye it to look and feel beautiful. Healthy, shiny hair always wins.
I had a few silver strands in my 30's though still dyed it, by 51 I was letting it grow out (I'm 61 now) as I was fed up with dyeing it every 3 weeks. It's really beautiful though and I often get compliments from women who say that if they knew their hair was going to be like mine they'd grow it out.. but my reply to that is, you never know what it will be like until you do take a chance and grow it out 💖 It's a huge deal though, I know, and a personal choice. I believe in empowered choices whether we dye or don't.
I am 32, and already have a lot of grey hair, i don't know why, my parents didn't have grey hair so early. I think the reason is stress, i had to leave my home because of the war year ago, and now I've decided not to color my hair, I am so tired of it.. i have nice cold fair color, and I hope it will be in a harmony with my silver hair. By the way, i am having three little girls, and I don't look old at all, the color of the hair is not so important 😊 Thank you Gabi, i like your videos❤ Greetings from Germany!
Hi Gabi, I’m 62 and for 40 years I colored my mousy brown hair red/auburn and then blonde for a good 25 years. I like it platinum the best. It brought out my blue eyes and looked good on my cool complexion, but was very damaging to maintain. Not to mention the cost of salon treatments. During Covid and lack of salon visits I realized my roots were coming out very light. I grew it out and my hair is now silver. I get compliments on it regularly. I think the most important thing is to make sure your cut is youthful. My hair is in the best condition of my life. My husband of 53 years love it, and says it looks like Christmas tinsel. Very shiny and healthy. The only thing that I struggled with the first 6 months was dryness. Using the purple shampoo weekly was too drying. I put a filter on my shower head and I use the purple shampoo maybe every 2 weeks. I really dont see much yellowing. Very important is if a product comes out of the bottle with a color other than clear, you probably shouldn’t use it. It will leave color deposits. Oils and leave in conditioner are life savers for my hair, and I am able to air dry. That’s how good of condition it is in.
46 now, and I haven't found any gray hairs on my head yet! My hair is a dark blonde. However, for the past decade or so, I have had a couple gray hairs with the wiry texture that have appeared in my eyebrows. Overall my eyebrows are very light, so I tint them to a little bit darker blonde with hair dye meant for men's beards. It is inexpensive and very forgiving, and it saves a ton of time in my makeup application.
Love this video. I started going gray in my late 20's but it's not fully gray. I call them my wisdom highlights and try to embrace a little wisdom amongst my blond highlight. I love hair oiling but I find even if I tie a bun on the top of my hair, I often get a bit of acne on my scalp and hairline or sometimes on my face as well!
I agree about natural or silver hair not making one look older. I have transitioned twice to my natural gray in the past 10 years. First time I felt was too soon, so went back to coloring. I walked out of the salon a brunette again - for all of 4 days when my silver was showing again. I cried. Waiting 6 month and then went through the process again, this time using silver/titanium toners of lots of highlights. Took a long time, but I’ve not looked back past 3 years. Will never color again. Tried lowlights at one point as well, but that also because a slippery slope with depositing color again. My skin tone has changed now that I am 61, and my natural hair suits it much better. I just try to keep it stylish and healthy and not frumpy. Still need products!
I appreciate your point of view regarding allowing one to go gray naturally. At 65 I am beginning to go gray and truthfully, I think I have earned a few wisdom highlights. Thank you so much for creating these videos!
Hi Gabi - I started going grey in my 40's, however I am not ready to embrace - I keep up with monthly root touch ups. I think if I do go grey I will look much much older than I am. Thank you Gabi 😊💕
Great tips Gabi! I started going grey and started colouring my hair early thirties. Just before covid I started with a white highlight in my front then when covid hit I said forget it and let it all grow out. Now I am what you call an Arctic Blond! lol I don't regret it at all. I do find using oil in my hair really keeps it tamed and shiny.
Hi Gabi, I saw my first greys in my 50s .My hair has always been fine but had a lot of it. After menopause my hair thinned quite a bit so I still color my roots only as I'm sure you know grey and thinning makes you look almost bald! Also my grey does not seem to grow down the lengths like some people. Anyway, if it wasn't so thin at the roots I'd probably let it go grey. I am in my late 60s
That's okay Gail! You have to do whatever feels right for you and whatever makes you feel gorgeous. The key to anything beauty related is do what works FOR YOU. There are NO RULES. Beauty is an internal feeling.
New subscriber here and wanted to say thank you for sharing these tips with us. I am 46 and I started graying about 3 years ago. It makes me sad but that's because I'm getting older, but I am also trying to embrace it. And might I also add, you are such a beautiful woman.
I started going grey in my late 30's, like my Dad. I'm 56 now. The last 2 years, I've been transitioning from med brown to my natural grey. My hair is so much healthier for it, plus getting HRT has helped tremendously. This video was perfect for me. Thanks, Gabi!
Is it looking so shiny and gorgeous? When we are super young, we bleach the heck out of it to make it look bright and blonde and then when we age, we dye it repeatedly to cover the brightness. Embrace the brightness, purple shampoo it and live your best low maintenance healthy hair life!
@CHIEFS WIFE I did my reseearch. You don't know my health history. My body, my choice. I was asked why I chose to do HRT. She said I was wanting to obtain "fake youth." She has since removed her comment.
I loved this video, and so appreciate that you help us mature gals! I'm 55, and my hair still has very little gray. I was wondering if you have a tutorial of the makeover you did on the beautiful woman with the short gray hair that you featured in this video? She is just stunning and I loved how you styled her hair!
I’m 53. I started getting some grey probably around 49? I have medium ash brown hair it use to be dark ash blonde to light brown with white blonde natural highlights. Those white blonde pieces turned grey. I get it colored at a salon. I use to not blow dry my hair when I lived in Arizona. I let it air dry. Now I live in Iowa & I have to dry it in the winter. I wash it every morning. I towel dry, then try to get excess water out with a paper towel! It works. Then I put a leave in conditioner on the mid shafts to end’s & spray with L’Oréal sleek spray. I blow dry partially, mostly roots because they take forever to dry & it’s where I will notice & feel cold. Then I comb it out with a wide tooth comb or a wet brush. Then dry the middle to ends a little or I use my dehumidifier & my floor fan on it a few minutes this works great! Then I put it up in a loose bun while it’s still a little damp. Sometimes I’ll dry on medium heat and cool a little while it’s in the bun but still leave it damp. Or even go outside for a minute for a cold shot. After 10 minutes -30 minutes I’ll take it down & let it air dry for about 20 minutes more. Then I can brush or comb it out and it holds a sleek wave slight curl & looks styled. I also like the L’Oréal glossing treatment in shower. I have fine hair but a lot of hair. I have not noticed thinning. I have pretty good volume if I wash it. I have noticed it’s a little wavy now in spots & I can get frizz now which I use to not get. My hair use to be straight and would get oily if I didn’t wash it every day.
Thank you, Gabi. I am 66 and started to get some grey when I was about 47. I probably still only have about 30% grey, mainly on top. I use a product called IT's Pure which only contain herbal powders and doesn't open the hair shaft to help to blend them in so they look like highlights. My problem is that I have a very warm skintone and my natural hair colour is dark brown with some red in it. I have brown eyes. I'm not sure that grey hair would suit me although I love it on other ladies. As and when I get more grey would I be better using s mix of brown and blonde powder? The herbal powder doesn't damage the hair and leaves it looking conditioned. Thanks again x
I’ve highlighted blonde for most of my life. In 2019 I had a breakage disaster, and started thinking about quitting. I thought my hair would be mostly white because the under layers are white and have been since my mid 40s. After my daughter’s 2021 wedding, I stopped highlighting. At age 59, the bottom 1/4 is what’s left of the highlights. The new growth is a cool brown/silver salt &pepper on top, with the all white underneath. Depending on how I style it, I can have mostly brown, or mostly gray, and when I curl it, it’s a combo! I miss the blonde sometimes, but my hair is healthy and shinier, and blends into the old highlights like an intentional ombré.
That actually sounds so incredibly beautiful! I LOVE LOVE LOVE natural hair and I truly don't find it aging at all. I think it is STUNNING. It is icy, shiny, soft and a little gift from nature. I am so happy to hear that you have embraced and are enjoying it.
That was a great video..🎉 I'm 61 and just started going grey.. not ready for that yet.. so a new haircut helped alot! And shorter length. Will try your ideas..❤
We’re living longer actually if you do get menopause doesn’t mean that you’re going to some families don’t it is hereditary somewhat and positive thinking always helps 55 to 60 yrs. And none of the symptoms have to happen to anyone not necessarily, and they can happen way before menopause
Your looking fabulous, think you for the tips. I do have thinning hair and just got a new haircut you recommend and it help with my hair looking thicker. I’m learning to pump up the volume.
I started getting one or two grays in 6th grade! After turning 57 i had it with the roots showing every 3 wks. My hair is now a lovely silver with a few strands of black. i must tell you my hair is not wiry or dry at all! I have no idea why it is somewhat oily if i dont wash every day!
New to your channel. Love the content. I was 70 in November.. so far, i only get my roots done 3x a year, with some highlights. I also grew it out and people never guess me to be 70 years old I always get 60 to 63? I don’t know why but they seem to pick that at the most for my age which I am happy about that my hair does have a lot of waves in it now and little ringlet curls around my neck line and I always had poker straight hair. Normally I let my hair air dry next time in a hurry I will blow it dry. I also, as I said earlier, I don’t do very much with product on my hair such as hair color. I’m using oil now though for the dryness like you said and here masks. I appreciate the tips.
Great tips Gabi.. I kept getting root touch ups to my very dark brown/ black hair, till I got tired of doing the touch ups. I saw some gray hair in my late 40’s I have a thyroid issue and I hit menopause at the age of 45. So my hair just completely changed. So I gradually started to lightned my hair to blonde with some mix gray so it's easier for the hair color to blend, and I love it. So all I do is tone it or sometimes I would do a purple mask.I started to do the hair oil treatments and it's helped a lot to my fine wavy hair. ❤
I’m 68 and had no gray until 60. I’m natural darker blonde. I have wavy waist length fine hair. At about 62 my hair texture really changed. I cut my own hair and add a layer or two. I’m sure a professional would have a field day with me😆 love the hair dryer but pricey! I’ll read some reviews first. If it really works and doesn’t quit after a year, it’s a valuable tool. I started letting my hair air dry almost 2 years ago. That, regular trimming and hair oil help. I mix my own oils and dampen my hair before applying. I leave on for an hour than wash. It really does make a difference.
I'm 66 yrs. old. I think gray hair is beautiful, but I barely have any! I wanted to go all gray but most of my hair is not. I tried growing it out and after 4 months I realized it wasn't going to happen. So, I use a semi-permanent pretty brown color to increase volume and shine. I've never tried oiling my hair, but in recent years, I've noticed that it is dryer. I may try it! Thank you!
I'm a redhead and I started going white in my early 20s, far younger than anyone else in my family! Started with a streak at the temple that gradually got wider and wider. I dyed it until my late 40s. I'm in my early 50s now and the front of my head is almost completely white (basically from the back of my ears forward and on top) and the back of my head is mostly still natural red. It's funky and I love it! 😊
Another natural redhead here. I started getting some white hairs about 38. for anyone reading, Natural redheads do not ever get gray hair, they go white.
@@SirenaSpades yup! It's white right away for us, but I think that's prettier! If you're lucky you get some white hairs all over and end up looking strawberry blonde as a result!
I started getting some gray on my late forties but of course I was dying it. I started thinking on my fifties to go natural but didn’t think I had enough gray to do it. I finally went for it 3 years ago and never looked back. You have no clue on how much gray you have and how is it going to look until you are grown at least half way and it evens looks different when you are done with the transition. I love the different patterns and no one is the same. I have most at the top of my head and the back and less on the sides but I love it.that is what makes us unique. I started the transition at 63.
How much I would love to have you do my hair and makeup! Your videos inspire, thank you for all you do. I know you have tons of videos on fine hair, I really struggle with how to style fine my hair and especially my bangs. Maybe a future video dedicated to that 😁? Thank you again you're a gem 💫
I think I started going gray at around 48. I colored it a few months back and regret that. I like my gray/ash tone. Now I’m trying to wait for it to grow back. Ugh. I want to try the purple shampoo. I don’t think my hair yellows but I’m interested to see the effect! Maybe it does and I don’t realize it! 😂 I am very interested in this blowdryer! I can’t wait to check it out. 😮 Thanks for sharing these fantastic tips, Gabi!! ❤
I’m 57 and I have used a mix of henna and indigo for years. My hair is fine but looks healthy, shiny and full. I would never go back to dye and definitely don’t want to go gray any time soon.
Hi Gabi, It is precisely the products you recommend that are not for sale at Notino Europe and even then I can only pay with pounds sterling instead of euros. That's complicated! My hair is getting grayer and it's not getting any better in terms of structure. I try what I can, but with the shine it doesn't want to work and it also gets frizzy quickly. Lots of ❤from Ingrid
Hi Gabi, I started going gray a little around 40 now at 50 my stylist says I’m about 10-15% gray. I was doing bayliage for a bit but now I’m just doing my roots. Hope your feeling better!💕😊
I was born with a white patch (vitiligo) and saw my 1st grey hair about 10 years old. My kids are young adults and teenagers and they were also born with a white patch and all have had grey hairs since early teens. My mother and grandmother also were born with white patches and went grey really early. Genetics are interesting I dyed my hair from 13 trying to hide the white and grey. It never really worked because the white didn't take colour well and it got bigger and I got more white patches as I got older but I persevered until I developed an allergy to hair dye at 45. I was devastated at the time, but a few years on and I have come to embrace my natural colour and only wish I'd been brave enough to grow it out sooner
I’m 65, I started going grey in my 40’s I started to dye my hair but hated it. I eventually allowed my silver/ grey hair 5 years ago and I love it. Everyone else loves it too. My hair is very fine but I have a good amount of it. I can’t air dry my hair either but I do use a protective balm before blow drying. .
Your models look gorgeous. I did cut off 18". I have been long, pixie short, and all lengths in between!. I wound up with pale brown, level 7-8, shiny, but "mousey" color. At 60,,I have approx 30% grey. Now I am using distilled H2O to combat the hard water. I am going even shorter when my HD gets back from vacay-to almost NO HAIR:) THEN, when I get tired of THAT, I will grow it out, for my DEATH hair:) I am already doing Swedish Death cleaning. I feel so FREE! TY for this upload!
Thank you for your wonderful videos❤️They are really empowering! I'm from Sweden and I have maybe 5 grey hairs att the age of 61! I'm still a brunett, but was blond in my youth. I think it's heritage from my grandmother, she had almost no greys att the age of 79 and the colour was natural black!!!
Who knows when I started really going grey because as a hairdresser forever, I was always coloring my hair. I went fully natural and grey at age 51. I am now almost 71 and love my silver hair! I was amazed at the curl in my hair which I had overcolored out over the years and destroyed my elasticity. Going grey was a game changer for me! Roberta😘
Hi Gabi, I’m 60 now (oh wow), but rather than going grey, my blond hair has definitely lost its pigmentation. If I leave it natural, it’s a sort-of-nothing color. Not grey, not darker, not anything really. Not even blond anymore. I’ve always been envious of the beautiful greys that brunettes tend to go. Do you have any tips for us colorless ex-blonds?
I’m definitely going to try your better not younger purple shampoo though, and see if that helps. Thank you for all your content. I’ve been loving your advice, and it has made me re-think the way I approach my hairstyling. I’ve already adopted your less heat and new cut recommendations. ❤
I add some light brown to my root area .. it looks ombré and I like that look. I use the root touch -up products most of the time .. easy peasy. My hair is drab with blonde highlights at the ends .
The same thing happened to my light brown hair. I have a few grays at the age of 68, but mostly my hair color just got more drab. I started using a fresh-brewed coffee rinse to regrow my hair after it thinned a bunch (didn't work), but it makes the color richer.
I'm exactly the same, I'm 66 and have changed my colour from a lighter blonde to ash blonde. I had chemotherapy last year and wasn't allowed to colour my hair while having treatment. I had about 4
I was a redhead and my hair started to change in my 40’s but it doesn’t look gray, it looks blonde and I’m 66 now. First I got a big yellow streak in the front of my forehead. Underneath it is more ashy looking. Love the videos!
I am almost 67 and I have very little gray, But my hair is much drier and thinner than before menopause. Yikes! I use oils on mine and that helps alittle, I will check into that dryer!!!
Hi Gabi. I am 62 and have no pigment in my hair. It started changing color in my early 30s. I am lucky that I don’t have to color my hair because it is a pretty ash blonde. On the flip side tho it is extremely dry and brittle. I live in the Nevada desert and the struggle to keep it moisturizeed is truly a challenge. Thank you for the tips.
Judging from your profile picture, your hair looks GORGEOUS! Are you doing any treatments? Treatments help a lot when it comes to retaining moisture levels. It could also be a water issue. Do you have hard water? When I was in the Dominican last week, my hair looked like STRAW and it was from the hard water. I was styling it in the exact same way and it looked absolutely terrible.
Thank you Gabi. Yes I started using Bumble and Bumble Bond Building Line. I really like it. We have a water softener and also a shower head filter and that helps too. I love to curl my hair but only do it now on special occasions. By the way, my mother had the same hair color and my sister has the same color. Thanks again.
Great tips! I get compliments on my grey hair all the time and take good care of it. I would never go back to coloring!! My pic is a 10 year old one 😆.
Thank you Gabi. I agree with all 5 points. Particularly the one about natural grey hair. I never liked my hair as much as now that I have let it be what it is.
YES! I have recently stopped dying my hair too (I haven't moved the balayage up in one year) and it's a bit of a mess because half is highlighted and half isn't but it is the first time my hair has been SO HEALTHY, shiny and bouncy. Your natural hair is nature's way of giving you glorious highlights and I am here for it!
I’m almost 53 and have about 20 grey hairs, mostly just above my ears and a few on the crown. I haven’t decided if I will colour them once they increase in number! I have straight, fine black hair. My hair has thinned with age and in my late 40’s, starting shedding with alarming speed. It has stabilised now as I made some changes to my diet and I also started taking collagen (Verisol) and vitamin C over a year ago. It can be a bit nerve-wrecking navigating menopause but I am just doing the best I can with what I’ve got.
My hair has been good up to my 60s, I had periods to 59, but finished going through menopause by 60 and literally just started 'drying out'!!! Going grey and getting puffy eyes and lines!! It has hit hard and sudden!! So, I have spent a fortune on expensive shampoos and conditioners and hair masks, hair food, hair heat protection spray, end protection oils, root mouse.. OMG!! You name it, I've bought it!! I swim x3 a week for health/fitness and bought some shampoo that strip's out the chlorine....after I totally destroyed my hair, I discovered I didn't use it every swim, just once a month!! So after it sucked the life out of my hair, I've spent a small fortune trying to reverse the damage!!! My hair is thin because so much snapped off because it was so brittle 😢😢😢 so I hope to God that a lot of it grows back in, but it's had to be cut short and I don't really like it 😢😢
My first grays started appearing in my late 30s. At 50 now I'm only about 25 percent gray. My mother is 75 and she isn't even 50 percent gray. We both still cover our grays. I'm very curious to see mine when it starts coming out in patches like people have that look like fabulous highlights.
Don’t know when I went gray except for during the pandemic when I let it grow out. Still not really gray though. I’m almost 70. I decided to use a semi permanent color because I just looked drab. Thanks for the video.
I’m 69 and got my first white hairs aged 24. In my late 40’s got my hair professionally dyed. This continued for some years. The chemicals stung my scalp. My hair became so weak, I needed a blow dry every week. Then in my late 50’s I got a very short cut and grew it all out. I have never looked back. My hair is very healthy and shiny. I get a dry trim every 8 weeks, and NEVER use a hair dryer, never have a blow dry. I do use a silk pillowcase, and get no frizz. My current cut is a layered bob, completely white, and I get lots of compliments as I go about on my bicycle. For me, remaining young is about keeping fit and flexible. I wear colour in my clothing rather than in my hair
There can be no doubt that adding volume to your hair is so flattering and definitely a "game changer," as stated here. But, in fairness, in the "before" photos the models were not wearing any make-up and they were not smiling.
This is so helpful Gabri. I had a hysterectomy at 27 so had a very early menopause. Strangely I’ve never had too many hair problems…maybe due to HRT. I’m 59 now and my hair is now coming in white. I’ve found a fabulous hairdresser who added some lovely highlights and lowlights to disguise it (I’m not ready to go white). I’ve been using the Revlon brush to blow dry and that’s certainly giving me more body. Keep up the great work. Sending love from Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴 ❤
Sorry, but I am tired of the part down the middle look and nose rings make me nauseous! However, I will say you are pretty and know how to apply your makeup.
Sorry about the completely different question ....at what age have you stop taking HRT?AND did you have any health issues after taking HRT?I AM in the same boat as you were .
@@shumailakhatri1986 Hello, no problem. I’m actually still using HRT (evorel 50 patches at present). My GP is happy for this to continue as long as blood pressure etc all stays stable…which it has. I also have biannual breast screening (thankfully this is provided for all women over 50 in Scotland). I do have some ongoing health issues but nothing I, nor my consultants, would attribute to HRT. Wishing you luck and good health 🌸
@@angelaboniface451 Thank you so much for your reply ....Did you take oral HRT when you were young? You are lucky to have biannual breast screening 😊 I don't think we have this in England. Wish you all the best !
Try Kerastace oil for hair. I’m 65, I have a short hair and natural charcoal silver gray hair. After I dry my hair using zero products, I rub one pump of Kerastace on my hands then distribute it all over my hair. It makes my hair super shiny and my hair absorbs the oil so it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all, in fact, it feels super silky; it makes my hair feel like young hair. Smells wonderful too. I don’t use conditioner because it weighs my hair down but Kerastace doesn’t. You don’t have to wash your hair after using it because your hair will absorb it quickly; 15 minutes then silky-ness.
I’m a ginger, in my youth had bright copper color, started lightening more towards a strawberry blond in my mid 40s. In late 40 early 50s started having beautiful blond streaks, loved it. In my late 50s began adding red highlights every 12 weeks, turning back the clock 5-10 years. I love this since the red just fades with time; no demarcation lines, looks very natural. I also had an asymmetrical pixie/Bob cut a couple years ago, works well with my fine hair, btw I’m 64.
Grey hair comes from Hydrogen Peroxide in the blood. We age from oxidative stress, this is why antioxidants are SOOO important. Glutathione and NAC are good for boosting the body's own master antioxidant. I too am a hair and makeup artist since 05' and dont have a lot of grey and actually reversed the one in my eyebrow boosting my glutatione levels. Copper peptide (ghk-cu) are great for hair growth too as well as great for skin antiaging! Love the science behind our bodies and aging! :)
I’ve been using a mineral powder for years but it doesn’t give the glow look rather it gives the Matt look, I have a lot of mineral powder to use yet. How can I best use this to get a more moisture look, I’m 64 … loved your video and I’ve subscribed 😊
1st I love your channel. I am turning 50 March 7. My hair is very dark and turned silver not gray before 30. I had people tell me to let it grow out to its natural color. When I dyed my hair dark, many people said I was superficial. This is my hair and my face. My Mom continued to dye her hair even after she had 3 strokes and then could not. My hair is My hair. I also have bushy eyebrows that several stylists have wanted to strip away. So now I hear women are doing invasive microblading. I will continue coloring my natural silver hair dark and ha ha to those "stylists" who did not suggest but Told me to rip off my eyebrows.
I would love to see more options for a haircut / style for those of us with more weight under our chins….I enjoyed the last video but would love to see more like it! Thanks!
Started getting my first grays in my mid 40’s. At 59 I’m about 1/3 gray. I went through 15 years of hair loss cycles - 21/2 years ago it was so bad my once thick luxurious hair was half its volume- I was so discouraged. I tried just about everything and finally found success with the combination of propecia (and I’ve had no side effects after 11/2 years of use) minoxidil, PRP and the piece that completed the puzzle was increasing my ferritin levels. I came across a FB hair loss support group and kept seeing ferritin levels mentioned. I had mine tested and it was 23- the lowest level In the normal range. I started taking iron supplements and eating more red meat - in 7 months my ferritin had increased to 90 and wow did my hair ever start growing back. My hairstylist is amazed. I’d like to mention that Brazilian blowouts are amazing and has my hair looking shiny smooth and youthful. I know there’s some bad press on some The ingredients but I’ve been getting them for over 10 years with no problems. Love your channel!!

Thank you for watching! At what age did your hair start changing color? If you want links to products used in the video or want more information, please find all of that in the description box above (click on "show more"). I value you and appreciate you spending time with me today! :)
I wanted to thank you for your heart for more mature women and the respect you bring to the topic in general...it is that attitude that has made me want to watch more of your content. I watched your share from a couple of days ago and it really touched me about the difficulties of RUclips...even when you are tough and confident, it is just hard. I think it is a really important topic. I watch another RUclipsr who shares content about Japan, who has had her channel for 10 years. She recently needed a thyroid operation and she has been struggling with her weight since then...she did a similar type of video and she admitted she was having a hard time posting videos because people on RUclips can be mean and some comments just stick with you. I know me saying this doesn't make it easier...I just wanted to share my respect. God bless!
@@eileenfang6702 Thank you so much for this comment. I'm not going to lie, that video nearly killed me to launch. It was extremely challenging to hit the "live" button and the feedback and love that I have received has been insanely overwhelming and beautiful. Sharing this with me and letting me know that other creators feel the same has meant the absolute world to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to do so.
My hair started going grey around the age of 15
Also, I echo Eileen's comment and really love your channel. I really appreciate and respect your position on sponsorships, and as someone with fine hair, really enjoy hearing all your recommendations. It can be so difficult to find quality channels that tackle the issues people with fine hair face
I started getting a few grays around 40, but I haven't gone much grayer since, and I'm 68. In fact, I get hair growing in that's gray on the ends and brown at the roots, so the amount of gray in my hair varies. I don't know what's going on.
oh thank god!! thank you thank you thank you!!! I am a covid gray person. i used the lock down as an opportunity to go gray. my stylist and mother were quite against my going gray as they said it looked old. i have always had shoulder length hair that is one length (with the exception of fringe) because my hair is too fine to hold layers and i can do so much more with one length hair (braids buns, twits). i have to really embrace the gray and try to walk with confidence but, hearing people like you say that gray is not the nasty taboo it used to be is so incredibly good to hear!! and that blow dryer!!! so cool!!! thank you for your videos!
Went grey in 2018 and it was one of the best beauty decisions I've ever made. I get so many compliments on it now.
I started going grey in my 20’s (my dad was 13, so I had about 10 years on him at least) Last year I stopped coloring, and went natural. I’m 54, and the front half of my hair is a beautiful platinum, and the back half is still catching up with a silvery tone. Best decision I ever made, I love it! Thank you for the wonderful videos that you do for mature beauty!
☮️💖🙏
Thank you for such a thoughtful and sweet message. I am SO HAPPY for you that you are able to embrace your natural hair! "Beautiful platinum" is the perfect way to describe it. I literally drool over that color and I hope my greys come in icy when they start. My sister has a few (she is 40) and they are like metallic white. *droool* Obsessed.
I start going grey at about 14/15.☹️
Thank you Gabi!!! I'm taking the plunge...going grey!! This video is right on time. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Your positivity and love for what you do really shines.
Thank you for everything you do for us. 💕
You will love it. I colored my hair for decades and then one day it was like a light switch being flipped and I decided I was completely done with coloring it. I did a radical method for the transition. I let it grow out until the roots were about one inch and then had it cut short to that length all over. It's not for everyone but I loved the fast transition and have always loved short hair. It was amazing and I love my grey hair which is now to my shoulders.
I am in the exact same place and I agree these videos are incredibly helpful!
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and kind message. I am so excited for you to go grey!!! Please report back and let me know how it goes for you! I hope that you learn to really love it. It will be liberating.
@@jainthorne4136 What a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing!
@@mrsbinkbonk I'm so happy that you are getting value from these videos. :) I really enjoy making them for you.
Hi Gabi! I’m 53 and I started seeing greys when I was about 45. My daughter is a stylist in the desert and she’s been doing my hair since she was in cosmetology school, she had her license before she graduated high school! It’s been 14 years. No one else has touched my hair. I haven’t been through menopause yet but my hair has always been so thick and completely straight, about 12 years ago when my daughter talked me into letting my hair grow, we were all shocked when my hair started growing in curly!!! I don’t know why or how🤷🏻♀️ maybe because I always wanted my daughters, thick curly hair!!! Thought you might enjoy my story. I’m so glad I found your channel, I’ve really been enjoying your videos🌺🌺🌺
I am 58 and my hair is light blonde and I have few platinum\white hairs but it just looks like it is highlighted here and there. The white hairs are smooth, soft and not like gray hair. I stopped drying my hair with a blow dryer and stopped using all hairprodcts. it looks so much better. My hair is fine and wavy.
I started getting grey hair in my mid 50s and my daughter in her early 30s. I let the grey grow out quite a bit but I didn't like it and felt it made me look older. I'm 60 now, so I've gone back to colouring it and I feel much better and think it's more flattering for me.
I had beautiful Greige hair when it first started turning gray. It eventually started turning more white and gunmetal gray which wasn’t flattering. Now I’m coloring again and it’s so beautiful - greige blonde again/ and it gives it a ton more body to my fine hair.
Hi Gabi ~ My hair began changing in my late 30's. I colored it until my mid 50's, then grew out my silver completely. My hair was shiny and cute, but inside, I felt so old. I'm 61 now, and I'm SO glad I jumped back into coloring it my former natural brunette, with highlights.
First grey hair at 16!!! I am 55 now and colored my hair most of my life. I transitioned to full natural grey a year ago and LOVE it!
I am in my 50s but I started noticing a few white streaks ay the age of 26yrs old. Now I have a platnium blonde streak on the top of my head. Makes me look like Lily Munster from the series The Munsters. But I do have a lot of volume on my hair. You could say I have big 80s hair and my hair is long. Down to my waist.
I usually wear my hair up on a Victorian bun that shows my white streak kind of like the stepmother in Disney's Cinderella. But it's true big hair or ve jair doesakr you look younger..
I enjoyed all of your hair tips and shared this video on my Facebook.
My hair has been very slowly losing color since I was 40. I'm 52 now and just have some stark white hairs growing from my scalp. It is resistant to color too. I'm looking forward to the day it fully turns so I can stop coloring it. This is a helpful video Gabi. Thank you.
I started going grey early 20s. It started with a thin strip of gray right in front. I liked my “stripe” so I didn’t color. As I aged it got thicker and I developed more stripes, but I just decided to just go with it so I’ve never colored. I get lots of compliments on my hair because of the color and the health and volume. I’m a big proponent of embracing it and I think natural hair looks healthier and shinier.
I’ve started to watch your channel because you’re extremely honest and plain ol’ sweet! As a mother of a daughter about your age, I think you’re a true darling and enjoy watching you and learning. Thank you ❤😊
Great videos. Would you be able to do a video on curly grey hair. All the models you feature have straight hair. Thank you!
I'll be 53 in May and I don't have hardly any grants yet. But, menopause has made my flat straight hair wavy! I ain't mad at it either lol I can air dry so SO great!
I cannot express how much I love your channel❣️ You are 37 but creating so much informative and oh so helpful content for older women. I am 57 and I just find your vids so relevant and haha yes I’ll say it again helpful! I’ve watched many other channels and many are good but often I think it’s best, in most finds, find the one that resonates best and stick only with that. You are beautiful inside and out. Don’t change a thing Gabi. A fan in Florida. 🥰🥰🥰
I ate predominantly for most of my adult life. At age 49 I started eating a fair amount of red meat, and my hair is SO healthy. I can’t get over it. Grows long easily with little breakage. I have not had hair like this since I was a kud
Thank you for this share , I am all natural now platinum . I started going gray in my late forties . I haven’t touched my hair in years and it feels like it did when I 12 ! It truly is liberating to boot ! ❤
My hair started going grey when I was 30...Fast forward I started getting highlights for yrs.Then at 63my hair is now color free my hair is 90 % white/gray.I get many compliments on my hair ...Ty for the great video....
Love you and your channel Gabi! Love your honesty and professional advise. You've been a game changer for me. I'm 54 and have been struggling with the grey-change. Greying started when I was 25, ugh! I'm tired of dying my hair. You are a beautiful inspiration. Keep doing what you do best!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message. The grey fight is such a losing battle. You dye it, it looks good for two weeks and then it starts again and again and again. My grandmother was not comfortable going grey until she was in her 80s so if you want to dye it, DYE IT! But if you are just sick of it, don't feel like you HAVE to dye it to look and feel beautiful. Healthy, shiny hair always wins.
@@GlamGirlGabi Plus if you don’t like the silver/white, you can always colour it again. It’s just hair.
@@jgriffin282 Absolutely! It's just hair!
I had a few silver strands in my 30's though still dyed it, by 51 I was letting it grow out (I'm 61 now) as I was fed up with dyeing it every 3 weeks. It's really beautiful though and I often get compliments from women who say that if they knew their hair was going to be like mine they'd grow it out.. but my reply to that is, you never know what it will be like until you do take a chance and grow it out 💖 It's a huge deal though, I know, and a personal choice. I believe in empowered choices whether we dye or don't.
I am 32, and already have a lot of grey hair, i don't know why, my parents didn't have grey hair so early. I think the reason is stress, i had to leave my home because of the war year ago, and now I've decided not to color my hair, I am so tired of it.. i have nice cold fair color, and I hope it will be in a harmony with my silver hair. By the way, i am having three little girls, and I don't look old at all, the color of the hair is not so important 😊 Thank you Gabi, i like your videos❤ Greetings from Germany!
Hi Gabi,
I’m 62 and for 40 years I colored my mousy brown hair red/auburn and then blonde for a good 25 years. I like it platinum the best. It brought out my blue eyes and looked good on my cool complexion, but was very damaging to maintain. Not to mention the cost of salon treatments.
During Covid and lack of salon visits I realized my roots were coming out very light.
I grew it out and my hair is now silver.
I get compliments on it regularly.
I think the most important thing is to make sure your cut is youthful.
My hair is in the best condition of my life.
My husband of 53 years love it, and says it looks like Christmas tinsel. Very shiny and healthy.
The only thing that I struggled with the first 6 months was dryness. Using the purple shampoo weekly was too drying.
I put a filter on my shower head and I use the purple shampoo maybe every 2 weeks. I really dont see much yellowing.
Very important is if a product comes out of the bottle with a color other than clear, you probably shouldn’t use it.
It will leave color deposits.
Oils and leave in conditioner are life savers for my hair, and I am able to air dry. That’s how good of condition it is in.
46 now, and I haven't found any gray hairs on my head yet! My hair is a dark blonde. However, for the past decade or so, I have had a couple gray hairs with the wiry texture that have appeared in my eyebrows. Overall my eyebrows are very light, so I tint them to a little bit darker blonde with hair dye meant for men's beards. It is inexpensive and very forgiving, and it saves a ton of time in my makeup application.
Love this video. I started going gray in my late 20's but it's not fully gray. I call them my wisdom highlights and try to embrace a little wisdom amongst my blond highlight. I love hair oiling but I find even if I tie a bun on the top of my hair, I often get a bit of acne on my scalp and hairline or sometimes on my face as well!
Gabi, your videos are amazing! We can tell the hard work you put into each of your videos! Thank you!
Absolutely love the lady who Gray hair at 37. I think you said it looks absolutely stunning like the most beautiful color I’ve seen.
I totally agree! She is an absolute knockout!
I agree about natural or silver hair not making one look older. I have transitioned twice to my natural gray in the past 10 years. First time I felt was too soon, so went back to coloring. I walked out of the salon a brunette again - for all of 4 days when my silver was showing again. I cried. Waiting 6 month and then went through the process again, this time using silver/titanium toners of lots of highlights. Took a long time, but I’ve not looked back past 3 years. Will never color again. Tried lowlights at one point as well, but that also because a slippery slope with depositing color again. My skin tone has changed now that I am 61, and my natural hair suits it much better. I just try to keep it stylish and healthy and not frumpy. Still need products!
I appreciate your point of view regarding allowing one to go gray naturally. At 65 I am beginning to go gray and truthfully, I think I have earned a few wisdom highlights. Thank you so much for creating these videos!
Hi Gabi - I started going grey in my 40's, however I am not ready to embrace - I keep up with monthly root touch ups. I think if I do go grey I will look much much older than I am. Thank you Gabi 😊💕
Same. Surveys have actually shown that it can make us look 20 years older 😏. I'm just not ready for that yet...
That's okay! You have to do whatever is best for you and what makes you feel beautiful!
@@sufyb6432 That is okay! You really have to do what feels right for you and what makes you happy.
@@sufyb6432 👍Thank you!
I don't like Grey hair at all...very aging
Love that you encouraged us to grow out our natural color regardless if it's going gray!! I agree with you; it's beautiful!!!!
I love your videos! You’re a joy to watch, and your tips for styling/caring for fine and aging hair are really helpful. Thank you!😘
Great tips Gabi! I started going grey and started colouring my hair early thirties. Just before covid I started with a white highlight in my front then when covid hit I said forget it and let it all grow out. Now I am what you call an Arctic Blond! lol I don't regret it at all. I do find using oil in my hair really keeps it tamed and shiny.
You're looking great!😊
Hi Gabi, I saw my first greys in my 50s .My hair has always been fine but had a lot of it. After menopause my hair thinned quite a bit so I still color my roots only as I'm sure you know grey and thinning makes you look almost bald! Also my grey does not seem to grow down the lengths like some people. Anyway, if it wasn't so thin at the roots I'd probably let it go grey. I am in my late 60s
Agree..
That's okay Gail! You have to do whatever feels right for you and whatever makes you feel gorgeous. The key to anything beauty related is do what works FOR YOU. There are NO RULES. Beauty is an internal feeling.
@@GlamGirlGabi True 👍 I wish it worked for me, it would save me a TON of money . 🙃
I’m 52 and starting to see some grays appear for first time. You have gorgeous hair!
My stylist told me oiling your hair before you wash is wasting oil and the shampoo it takes to get the oil out
New subscriber here and wanted to say thank you for sharing these tips with us. I am 46 and I started graying about 3 years ago. It makes me sad but that's because I'm getting older, but I am also trying to embrace it. And might I also add, you are such a beautiful woman.
I started going grey in my late 30's, like my Dad. I'm 56 now. The last 2 years, I've been transitioning from med brown to my natural grey. My hair is so much healthier for it, plus getting HRT has helped tremendously.
This video was perfect for me. Thanks, Gabi!
Is it looking so shiny and gorgeous? When we are super young, we bleach the heck out of it to make it look bright and blonde and then when we age, we dye it repeatedly to cover the brightness. Embrace the brightness, purple shampoo it and live your best low maintenance healthy hair life!
Why HRT? Our bodies naturally age, why use synthetic hormones? Womens health eventually pays the price for trying to fake youth.
@CHIEFS WIFE I did my reseearch. You don't know my health history. My body, my choice.
I was asked why I chose to do HRT. She said I was wanting to obtain "fake youth." She has since removed her comment.
I love how real you are in your videos! Thank you for this channel.
I loved this video, and so appreciate that you help us mature gals! I'm 55, and my hair still has very little gray. I was wondering if you have a tutorial of the makeover you did on the beautiful woman with the short gray hair that you featured in this video? She is just stunning and I loved how you styled her hair!
I’m 53. I started getting some grey probably around 49? I have medium ash brown hair it use to be dark ash blonde to light brown with white blonde natural highlights. Those white blonde pieces turned grey. I get it colored at a salon. I use to not blow dry my hair when I lived in Arizona. I let it air dry. Now I live in Iowa & I have to dry it in the winter. I wash it every morning. I towel dry, then try to get excess water out with a paper towel! It works. Then I put a leave in conditioner on the mid shafts to end’s & spray with L’Oréal sleek spray. I blow dry partially, mostly roots because they take forever to dry & it’s where I will notice & feel cold. Then I comb it out with a wide tooth comb or a wet brush. Then dry the middle to ends a little or I use my dehumidifier & my floor fan on it a few minutes this works great! Then I put it up in a loose bun while it’s still a little damp. Sometimes I’ll dry on medium heat and cool a little while it’s in the bun but still leave it damp. Or even go outside for a minute for a cold shot. After 10 minutes -30 minutes I’ll take it down & let it air dry for about 20 minutes more. Then I can brush or comb it out and it holds a sleek wave slight curl & looks styled.
I also like the L’Oréal glossing treatment in shower. I have fine hair but a lot of hair. I have not noticed thinning. I have pretty good volume if I wash it. I have noticed it’s a little wavy now in spots & I can get frizz now which I use to not get. My hair use to be straight and would get oily if I didn’t wash it every day.
Thank you, Gabi. I am 66 and started to get some grey when I was about 47. I probably still only have about 30% grey, mainly on top. I use a product called IT's Pure which only contain herbal powders and doesn't open the hair shaft to help to blend them in so they look like highlights. My problem is that I have a very warm skintone and my natural hair colour is dark brown with some red in it. I have brown eyes. I'm not sure that grey hair would suit me although I love it on other ladies. As and when I get more grey would I be better using s mix of brown and blonde powder? The herbal powder doesn't damage the hair and leaves it looking conditioned. Thanks again x
I’ve highlighted blonde for most of my life. In 2019 I had a breakage disaster, and started thinking about quitting. I thought my hair would be mostly white because the under layers are white and have been since my mid 40s. After my daughter’s 2021 wedding, I stopped highlighting. At age 59, the bottom 1/4 is what’s left of the highlights. The new growth is a cool brown/silver salt &pepper on top, with the all white underneath. Depending on how I style it, I can have mostly brown, or mostly gray, and when I curl it, it’s a combo! I miss the blonde sometimes, but my hair is healthy and shinier, and blends into the old highlights like an intentional ombré.
That actually sounds so incredibly beautiful! I LOVE LOVE LOVE natural hair and I truly don't find it aging at all. I think it is STUNNING. It is icy, shiny, soft and a little gift from nature. I am so happy to hear that you have embraced and are enjoying it.
That was a great video..🎉
I'm 61 and just started going grey.. not ready for that yet.. so a new haircut helped alot! And shorter length. Will try your ideas..❤
We’re living longer actually if you do get menopause doesn’t mean that you’re going to some families don’t it is hereditary somewhat and positive thinking always helps 55 to 60 yrs. And none of the symptoms have to happen to anyone not necessarily, and they can happen way before menopause
Your looking fabulous, think you for the tips. I do have thinning hair and just got a new haircut you recommend and it help with my hair looking thicker. I’m learning to pump up the volume.
Hey Janna! That is so exciting about the new cut! What kind of haircut did you get?
I started getting one or two grays in 6th grade! After turning 57 i had it with the roots showing every 3 wks. My hair is now a lovely silver with a few strands of black. i must tell you my hair is not wiry or dry at all! I have no idea why it is somewhat oily if i dont wash every day!
New to your channel. Love the content. I was 70 in November.. so far, i only get my roots done 3x a year, with some highlights. I also grew it out and people never guess me to be 70 years old I always get 60 to 63? I don’t know why but they seem to pick that at the most for my age which I am happy about that my hair does have a lot of waves in it now and little ringlet curls around my neck line and I always had poker straight hair. Normally I let my hair air dry next time in a hurry I will blow it dry. I also, as I said earlier, I don’t do very much with product on my hair such as hair color. I’m using oil now though for the dryness like you said and here masks. I appreciate the tips.
Great tips Gabi.. I kept getting root touch ups to my very dark brown/ black hair, till I got tired of doing the touch ups. I saw some gray hair in my late 40’s I have a thyroid issue and I hit menopause at the age of 45. So my hair just completely changed. So I gradually started to lightned my hair to blonde with some mix gray so it's easier for the hair color to blend, and I love it. So all I do is tone it or sometimes I would do a purple mask.I started to do the hair oil treatments and it's helped a lot to my fine wavy hair. ❤
Thank you Gabi, Best site for the older Lady.
I’m 68 and had no gray until 60. I’m natural darker blonde. I have wavy waist length fine hair. At about 62 my hair texture really changed. I cut my own hair and add a layer or two. I’m sure a professional would have a field day with me😆 love the hair dryer but pricey! I’ll read some reviews first. If it really works and doesn’t quit after a year, it’s a valuable tool. I started letting my hair air dry almost 2 years ago. That, regular trimming and hair oil help. I mix my own oils and dampen my
hair before applying. I leave on for an hour than wash. It really does make a difference.
I started having my first grays at 43, I am 46 right now I don’t have many grays yet. I love your earrings 😍😍😍.
I am 44 and I only have a few grays on the side of my hair they aren't noticeable yet.
Oh Gabi you are the best Stylist ever so helpful, so beautiful. God Bless you!!!
I was 23 when I started getting gray hair. I'm 65 now & still can't bring myself to let them take over. I color my roots every 6-7 weeks.
I'm 66 yrs. old. I think gray hair is beautiful, but I barely have any! I wanted to go all gray but most of my hair is not. I tried growing it out and after 4 months I realized it wasn't going to happen. So, I use a semi-permanent pretty brown color to increase volume and shine.
I've never tried oiling my hair, but in recent years, I've noticed that it is dryer. I may try it! Thank you!
I'm a redhead and I started going white in my early 20s, far younger than anyone else in my family!
Started with a streak at the temple that gradually got wider and wider. I dyed it until my late 40s. I'm in my early 50s now and the front of my head is almost completely white (basically from the back of my ears forward and on top) and the back of my head is mostly still natural red. It's funky and I love it! 😊
Another natural redhead here. I started getting some white hairs about 38. for anyone reading, Natural redheads do not ever get gray hair, they go white.
@@SirenaSpades yup! It's white right away for us, but I think that's prettier!
If you're lucky you get some white hairs all over and end up looking strawberry blonde as a result!
I started getting some gray on my late forties but of course I was dying it. I started thinking on my fifties to go natural but didn’t think I had enough gray to do it. I finally went for it 3 years ago and never looked back. You have no clue on how much gray you have and how is it going to look until you are grown at least half way and it evens looks different when you are done with the transition. I love the different patterns and no one is the same. I have most at the top of my head and the back and less on the sides but I love it.that is what makes us unique. I started the transition at 63.
Your whole family is so cute ! I just love the sparkle in your guys eyes!❤️.
How much I would love to have you do my hair and makeup! Your videos inspire, thank you for all you do. I know you have tons of videos on fine hair, I really struggle with how to style fine my hair and especially my bangs. Maybe a future video dedicated to that 😁? Thank you again you're a gem 💫
I think I started going gray at around 48. I colored it a few months back and regret that. I like my gray/ash tone. Now I’m trying to wait for it to grow back. Ugh. I want to try the purple shampoo. I don’t think my hair yellows but I’m interested to see the effect! Maybe it does and I don’t realize it! 😂 I am very interested in this blowdryer! I can’t wait to check it out. 😮 Thanks for sharing these fantastic tips, Gabi!! ❤
I’m 57 and I have used a mix of henna and indigo for years. My hair is fine but looks healthy, shiny and full. I would never go back to dye and definitely don’t want to go gray any time soon.
Gabi!!! SERIOUSLY you look absolutely stunning!! Wow 🤩 😍💖
Hi Gabi,
It is precisely the products you recommend that are not for sale at Notino Europe and even then I can only pay with pounds sterling instead of euros. That's complicated! My hair is getting grayer and it's not getting any better in terms of structure. I try what I can, but with the shine it doesn't want to work and it also gets frizzy quickly. Lots of ❤from Ingrid
Gabi, are you in the opinion that collagen powders help the hair or no?
Hi Gabi, I started going gray a little around 40 now at 50 my stylist says I’m about 10-15% gray. I was doing bayliage for a bit but now I’m just doing my roots. Hope your feeling better!💕😊
I was born with a white patch (vitiligo) and saw my 1st grey hair about 10 years old. My kids are young adults and teenagers and they were also born with a white patch and all have had grey hairs since early teens. My mother and grandmother also were born with white patches and went grey really early. Genetics are interesting
I dyed my hair from 13 trying to hide the white and grey. It never really worked because the white didn't take colour well and it got bigger and I got more white patches as I got older but I persevered until I developed an allergy to hair dye at 45. I was devastated at the time, but a few years on and I have come to embrace my natural colour and only wish I'd been brave enough to grow it out sooner
I’m 65, I started going grey in my 40’s I started to dye my hair but hated it. I eventually allowed my silver/ grey hair 5 years ago and I love it. Everyone else loves it too. My hair is very fine but I have a good amount of it. I can’t air dry my hair either but I do use a protective balm before blow drying. .
Your models look gorgeous. I did cut off 18". I have been long, pixie short, and all lengths in between!. I wound up with pale brown, level 7-8, shiny, but "mousey" color. At 60,,I have approx 30% grey. Now I am using distilled H2O to combat the hard water. I am going even shorter when my HD gets back from vacay-to almost NO HAIR:) THEN, when I get tired of THAT, I will grow it out, for my DEATH hair:) I am already doing Swedish Death cleaning. I feel so FREE! TY for this upload!
Thank you for your wonderful videos❤️They are really empowering! I'm from Sweden and I have maybe 5 grey hairs att the age of 61! I'm still a brunett, but was blond in my youth. I think it's heritage from my grandmother, she had almost no greys att the age of 79 and the colour was natural black!!!
Who knows when I started really going grey because as a hairdresser forever, I was always coloring my hair. I went fully natural and grey at age 51. I am now almost 71 and love my silver hair! I was amazed at the curl in my hair which I had overcolored out over the years and destroyed my elasticity. Going grey was a game changer for me! Roberta😘
Hi Gabi, I’m 60 now (oh wow), but rather than going grey, my blond hair has definitely lost its pigmentation. If I leave it natural, it’s a sort-of-nothing color. Not grey, not darker, not anything really. Not even blond anymore. I’ve always been envious of the beautiful greys that brunettes tend to go. Do you have any tips for us colorless ex-blonds?
I’m definitely going to try your better not younger purple shampoo though, and see if that helps. Thank you for all your content. I’ve been loving your advice, and it has made me re-think the way I approach my hairstyling. I’ve already adopted your less heat and new cut recommendations. ❤
I add some light brown to my root area .. it looks ombré and I like that look. I use the root touch -up products most of the time .. easy peasy. My hair is drab with blonde highlights at the ends .
The same thing happened to my light brown hair. I have a few grays at the age of 68, but mostly my hair color just got more drab. I started using a fresh-brewed coffee rinse to regrow my hair after it thinned a bunch (didn't work), but it makes the color richer.
I'm exactly the same, I'm 66 and have changed my colour from a lighter blonde to ash blonde. I had chemotherapy last year and wasn't allowed to colour my hair while having treatment. I had about 4
I was a redhead and my hair started to change in my 40’s but it doesn’t look gray, it looks blonde and I’m 66 now. First I got a big yellow streak in the front of my forehead. Underneath it is more ashy looking. Love the videos!
I & even my young son love white & silver hair. My fam gets few strands of silver around 55 & by 80… it’s mostly around the perimeter. Great videos :)
I am almost 67 and I have very little gray, But my hair is much drier and thinner than before menopause. Yikes! I use oils on mine and that helps alittle, I will check into that dryer!!!
Does the dryer take a lot longer to dry the hair than the ones with heat ?
Hi Gabi. I am 62 and have no pigment in my hair. It started changing color in my early 30s. I am lucky that I don’t have to color my hair because it is a pretty ash blonde. On the flip side tho it is extremely dry and brittle. I live in the Nevada desert and the struggle to keep it moisturizeed is truly a challenge. Thank you for the tips.
Judging from your profile picture, your hair looks GORGEOUS! Are you doing any treatments? Treatments help a lot when it comes to retaining moisture levels. It could also be a water issue. Do you have hard water? When I was in the Dominican last week, my hair looked like STRAW and it was from the hard water. I was styling it in the exact same way and it looked absolutely terrible.
Thank you Gabi. Yes I started using Bumble and Bumble Bond Building Line. I really like it. We have a water softener and also a shower head filter and that helps too. I love to curl my hair but only do it now on special occasions. By the way, my mother had the same hair color and my sister has the same color. Thanks again.
Great tips! I get compliments on my grey hair all the time and take good care of it. I would never go back to coloring!! My pic is a 10 year old one 😆.
Thank you Gabi. I agree with all 5 points. Particularly the one about natural grey hair. I never liked my hair as much as now that I have let it be what it is.
YES! I have recently stopped dying my hair too (I haven't moved the balayage up in one year) and it's a bit of a mess because half is highlighted and half isn't but it is the first time my hair has been SO HEALTHY, shiny and bouncy. Your natural hair is nature's way of giving you glorious highlights and I am here for it!
@@GlamGirlGabi yesss, natural is so much healthier. Thank you for this!
I’m almost 53 and have about 20 grey hairs, mostly just above my ears and a few on the crown. I haven’t decided if I will colour them once they increase in number! I have straight, fine black hair. My hair has thinned with age and in my late 40’s, starting shedding with alarming speed. It has stabilised now as I made some changes to my diet and I also started taking collagen (Verisol) and vitamin C over a year ago. It can be a bit nerve-wrecking navigating menopause but I am just doing the best I can with what I’ve got.
My hair has been good up to my 60s, I had periods to 59, but finished going through menopause by 60 and literally just started 'drying out'!!! Going grey and getting puffy eyes and lines!! It has hit hard and sudden!! So, I have spent a fortune on expensive shampoos and conditioners and hair masks, hair food, hair heat protection spray, end protection oils, root mouse.. OMG!! You name it, I've bought it!! I swim x3 a week for health/fitness and bought some shampoo that strip's out the chlorine....after I totally destroyed my hair, I discovered I didn't use it every swim, just once a month!! So after it sucked the life out of my hair, I've spent a small fortune trying to reverse the damage!!! My hair is thin because so much snapped off because it was so brittle 😢😢😢 so I hope to God that a lot of it grows back in, but it's had to be cut short and I don't really like it 😢😢
My first grays started appearing in my late 30s. At 50 now I'm only about 25 percent gray. My mother is 75 and she isn't even 50 percent gray. We both still cover our grays. I'm very curious to see mine when it starts coming out in patches like people have that look like fabulous highlights.
Don’t know when I went gray except for during the pandemic when I let it grow out. Still not really gray though. I’m almost 70. I decided to use a semi permanent color because I just looked drab. Thanks for the video.
I’m 69 and got my first white hairs aged 24. In my late 40’s got my hair professionally dyed. This continued for some years. The chemicals stung my scalp. My hair became so weak, I needed a blow dry every week. Then in my late 50’s I got a very short cut and grew it all out. I have never looked back. My hair is very healthy and shiny. I get a dry trim every 8 weeks, and NEVER use a hair dryer, never have a blow dry. I do use a silk pillowcase, and get no frizz. My current cut is a layered bob, completely white, and I get lots of compliments as I go about on my bicycle. For me, remaining young is about keeping fit and flexible. I wear colour in my clothing rather than in my hair
Thank you for another lovely video! Has anyone else here tried the Zuvi... I'd love to know how others are liking it. Much love❤
There can be no doubt that adding volume to your hair is so flattering and definitely a "game changer," as stated here. But, in fairness, in the "before" photos the models were not wearing any make-up and they were not smiling.
This is so helpful Gabri. I had a hysterectomy at 27 so had a very early menopause. Strangely I’ve never had too many hair problems…maybe due to HRT. I’m 59 now and my hair is now coming in white. I’ve found a fabulous hairdresser who added some lovely highlights and lowlights to disguise it (I’m not ready to go white). I’ve been using the Revlon brush to blow dry and that’s certainly giving me more body. Keep up the great work. Sending love from Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴 ❤
Sorry, but I am tired of the part down the middle look and nose rings make me nauseous! However, I will say you are pretty and know how to apply your makeup.
@@marilynnsmith360 why have you replied this to me?
Sorry about the completely different question ....at what age have you stop taking HRT?AND did you have any health issues after taking HRT?I AM in the same boat as you were .
@@shumailakhatri1986 Hello, no problem. I’m actually still using HRT (evorel 50 patches at present). My GP is happy for this to continue as long as blood pressure etc all stays stable…which it has. I also have biannual breast screening (thankfully this is provided for all women over 50 in Scotland). I do have some ongoing health issues but nothing I, nor my consultants, would attribute to HRT. Wishing you luck and good health 🌸
@@angelaboniface451 Thank you so much for your reply ....Did you take oral HRT when you were young? You are lucky to have biannual breast screening 😊 I don't think we have this in England.
Wish you all the best !
My hair started getting grey when I was 18. Just rolling with it. ❤
Gabby, my hair started graying at 42 my sister is 48 with no gray!
Thank you so much love watching your tutorials I have learnt a lot in my mature age 😍
Try Kerastace oil for hair. I’m 65, I have a short hair and natural charcoal silver gray hair. After I dry my hair using zero products, I rub one pump of Kerastace on my hands then distribute it all over my hair. It makes my hair super shiny and my hair absorbs the oil so it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all, in fact, it feels super silky; it makes my hair feel like young hair. Smells wonderful too. I don’t use conditioner because it weighs my hair down but Kerastace doesn’t. You don’t have to wash your hair after using it because your hair will absorb it quickly; 15 minutes then silky-ness.
Thanks for your video! I am almost 75 and have my normal hair color except for a gray stripe.
I’m a ginger, in my youth had bright copper color, started lightening more towards a strawberry blond in my mid 40s. In late 40 early 50s started having beautiful blond streaks, loved it. In my late 50s began adding red highlights every 12 weeks, turning back the clock 5-10 years. I love this since the red just fades with time; no demarcation lines, looks very natural. I also had an asymmetrical pixie/Bob cut a couple years ago, works well with my fine hair, btw I’m 64.
Grey hair comes from Hydrogen Peroxide in the blood. We age from oxidative stress, this is why antioxidants are SOOO important. Glutathione and NAC are good for boosting the body's own master antioxidant. I too am a hair and makeup artist since 05' and dont have a lot of grey and actually reversed the one in my eyebrow boosting my glutatione levels. Copper peptide (ghk-cu) are great for hair growth too as well as great for skin antiaging! Love the science behind our bodies and aging! :)
I’ve been using a mineral powder for years but it doesn’t give the glow look rather it gives the Matt look, I have a lot of mineral powder to use yet. How can I best use this to get a more moisture look, I’m 64 … loved your video and I’ve subscribed 😊
1st I love your channel. I am turning 50 March 7. My hair is very dark and turned silver not gray before 30. I had people tell me to let it grow out to its natural color. When I dyed my hair dark, many people said I was superficial. This is my hair and my face. My Mom continued to dye her hair even after she had 3 strokes and then could not. My hair is My hair. I also have bushy eyebrows that several stylists have wanted to strip away. So now I hear women are doing invasive microblading. I will continue coloring my natural silver hair dark and ha ha to those "stylists" who did not suggest but Told me to rip off my eyebrows.
Going grey was the best thing I could have done with and for my hair. I love it. It looks stylish and suits me better than dyeing it continually.
I would love to see more options for a haircut / style for those of us with more weight under our chins….I enjoyed the last video but would love to see more like it! Thanks!
Started getting my first grays in my mid 40’s. At 59 I’m about 1/3 gray. I went through 15 years of hair loss cycles - 21/2 years ago it was so bad my once thick luxurious hair was half its volume- I was so discouraged. I tried just about everything and finally found success with the combination of propecia (and I’ve had no side effects after 11/2 years of use) minoxidil, PRP and the piece that completed the puzzle was increasing my ferritin levels. I came across a FB hair loss support group and kept seeing ferritin levels mentioned. I had mine tested and it was 23- the lowest level In the normal range. I started taking iron supplements and eating more red meat - in 7 months my ferritin had increased to 90 and wow did my hair ever start growing back. My hairstylist is amazed.
I’d like to mention that Brazilian blowouts are amazing and has my hair looking shiny smooth and youthful. I know there’s some bad press on some
The ingredients but I’ve been getting them for over 10 years with no problems.
Love your channel!!
