I had 2 different women tell me that their grey hair showed God's glory. Nuff said....
It is in scripture
You are so inspirational!
I have to admit that when I used to see women letting their greys grow, I thought it was not looking good.
Now, I am 44 and I am done with covering my white line showing 2 weeks after the dye. I have been 3 months into this journey and even though I thought I would use color spray to cover my whites until they reached a certain length, now I feel SOOOO empowered showing it and I do not want to cover them!!
Now I understand how proud these females that I critized in the past felt, but I feel their insecurities with every stare I receive too .....
It is a challenging path, but I have never felt so honest to myself before.
Stay strong silver sisters!!
If people are staring I think it's because you are absolutely beautiful
So beautiful, whatever color she wears her hair is going to WORK!
Her grays grew in super evenly and she has so much thick pretty wavy hair just gorgeous
I have watched so many of these videos and each one I have commented on the visible beauty (internally of the spirit of determination as well as externally) of a woman coming into her power through her natural BEAUTY! NOT ONCE did I think oooo she looked better with dyed hair LOL... I love love love how you mixed and matched hairstyles & outfits and your use of vibrant colors. This inspires me to be proactive and creative. To celebrate to appreciate the changes of my seasons so to speak..I am proud to be 13 months in with no regrets .. I continuing to be inspired by those who make these videos..Thank you so so much!!!
The gray looks terrific on you
Mdrrrrr
Love your grey hair - you make it look classy, edgy, youthful. I’m all for it. I’ve been wanting to stop coloring mine out though so this helps me out a lot. To embrace this greys - it means old soul with a young heart ❤️.
This was lovely, thank you so much for all you do to support women on their journey🤍🤍
Thanks Whitney for sharing your experiences. It will be a great help for women seeking support going gray!😊
Beautiful 💖💖💖 It's and awesome journey 💕 I'm doing the same it's been a year I'm loving it!! My fiancé encourage me to do the same too 💖
Damn! That salt and pepper looks incredible on you! Like one of the best I’ve seen.
You are so beautiful!!! Thank you for inspiring us with your story! 😍
@@sparklingsilvers name kya hai ji
I’m so happy I found this channel I shaved my hair all off in January bald I’m done with box dye. I use wigs when I feel to and scarf. These videos helps encourage me and bring hope. Beautiful journeys ❤
Thank you for sharing❤❤❤
Wonderful video of your gray journey thank you for sharing.You really rock your silver hair ....😊
This is so inspiring 🙌🏻
We as women need to change the dialogue on beauty. We are told color, inject, cover our faces with Layers of make up. We need to be who we are meant to be, not the worlds version of us. When I started allowing my grey hair sparkle I found an inner confidence grow inside myself. Wabi Sabi embracing the imperfections of life and in ourselves and aging... A Beautiful GIFT🙌🏻 loved this! I am just over two years in and I wish I had more!!!🧡🍑🙌🏻Lisa
Im 51 years young and ive just started this journey so needed to watch something like this for encouragement.
Im only 8 weeks in and id normally have went for the dye weeks ago but ive had enough i want to embrace whatever colour comes in.
Im liking the look of it so far and look forward to seeing how my hair turns out. Im not looking forward to the dark and grey line but ill stick with it. Thankyou for this video i was so needing to see it right now xx
Iam exactly the same age and not dyed my hair since 2 months
Watching these videos is so inspiring and gives me strength to move on
I watched the trailer of grey is the new blonde
You can do it!
I’m older than 50 and I admit I started growing it out during the pandemic. I was curious what I would find under all that color. All I ever saw was my white roots. I was fascinated to find that I was white all around my my edges up to an inch in. The rest was more salt and pepper. The hardest was growing out the first inch or two. After that I was happy to let it grow out. I have curls and volume so that helped. I don’t think it looked bad growing out but I do know I need to use shine products on it it. Mine is usually tried up and I didn’t mind the contrast of the dyed ends with my y colored growth. Happy growing and I hope you enjoy what you find. Am so happy to use my time and money on something else.
Your natural hair is stunning!! Thanks for the inspiration and reminding us there are many beauty constructs that we do not have to own. 💗
It's 2022 and I also decided to grow out my grey hair. Whitney is stunning every step of the way. We are much more than our (hair) roots. The confidence and the smile were her focal points that made the grey roots beautifully ornamental! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Long hair definitely suits you and long grey hair will to,it already looks gorgeous and kind of funky to being half and half
Thank you for sharing, this definitely help remove fear from letting your natural color grow out! Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. I’m just now starting my journey. Wish I had thought of doing it during the pandemic when my hair salon was closed. I don’t know how it will go, but must say watching this video has been enhancing in so many ways. Im going to take photos to document this for myself to look at later on. I am not much of a makeup girl, but watching this made me realize that wearing makeup daily may help my insecurities along the way. Seeing you in bangs…love it!! Will probably try that too. Thanks again, and God Bless.
Simply stunning.
Your eyes really pop against your silvers.
Love it.
Thanks for uploading these, Anjana! There is not a single woman who has grown out her greys that doesn't look stunning! Very encouraging for us still on the journey.
Stunning
Absolutely Beautiful! Allowing ones Greytness to come through is a journey! ❤
I completely love your story. Going my to my natural color and letting my gray hair happen has been on my mind for a while now. My plan is to use up the rest of my hair coloring products through the end of 2022. Once 2023 happens my transition to my natural hair will begin. I am going to do it the slow way and will have the line of demarcation. I feel so encouraged by the gray haired community. I have been coloring my hair for many years and feel it is enough. For me, at some point you get sick of coloring. Personally as women we can still be stylish, fierce, fly and stunning with our natural hair. I know I will have moments of frustration, but I want to keep my hair healthy and naturally curly throughout the process. Thank you for documenting your journey you are helping so many others. New subscriber by the way!!
It’s been 16 months and I’m cutting off all my dyed ends in May - will be sporting a short bob type style while I grow my hair long again. Thank you for the inspiration!!!
Well, I’m 65 been married forever and a grandma- Yaya in Greek- and it’s time. Ironically in the past, I was a licensed hairdresser and albeit a pain to do roots every month, I was a no brainer for me. It wasn’t till I saw an old high school friend who sadly moved away, yet we see each other when we can- and she allowed herself to go grey! I thought it was stunning. I watch a RUclips influencer as well who was once a model and she too became a silver sister. Love the name By the way! I let my hair grow out during Covid then saw a family member who I hadn’t seen in some time and she was less than impressed. Asked my why I wanted to look older. I had the support of my husband and kids yet that one comment killed my confidence and I succumbed. Well, no more! I feel empowered that I made this decision for myself and I’m going to embrace it. It looks naturally highlighted with a big white shock in front. I’m playing with new colors of makeup and clothing and when it gets a certain length I think I want to cut it into a chic Bob for a change of pace. I’ve always took care of my skin and love fashion so 65 ain’t so old anymore. I got carded at our local Goodwill on senior citizens day because apparently I look younger tan 55 to get the discount!🤣Grey hair and all! So I’m looking forward to the journey! Can’t wait until it’s entirely grey. Always had auburn hair and loved that as well but that’s not me anymore. I feel comfortable in my own skin as should every woman. I refuse to be influenced by someone else standard of beauty. I earned every one of these grey hairs and I’m going to display them with pride!❤
Beautiful and inspirational. I have always dyed my hair just for change of colour. When I noticed my grey hair growing, I stopped dying my hair and was told I got it all backwards 😂 but I was so excited for this natural contrast of colour that I didn't want to spoil it by dying it as I have seen what regrowth looked like on others and didn't want that for myself. Yes this journey is not for the faint hearted. People classify grey hair with aging. My grey hairs are not many and mostly in the front but already I get stares, sometimes even comments about me getting old now, lol. You and many other women are proof of how youthful and complementing grey hair really is. Thank you for your inspiration. I think you look and you are beautiful ❤
Beautiful!!!!
SO INSPIRING!
Totally agree, it’s between you and your hair. I begin at 37, Im now 56 and love my white hair. Gourgeous hair u have!
Pretty sure the stares are all in amazement. Nothing less. Even jealous amazement. I’m with ya girly. 👍👩🏻🦳
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us! I started my journey 3 months ago, it is a bit scary but I know it is the best for me.
You could see she was stunning from the get go, but her bright lipsticks and colourful clothing and earrings just oozed confidence. Love, love loved it. 🥰 Would love to see what she looks like now......
I needed to see this today. 💕And I look forward to not looking back.
Your hair is fabulous!
My next hair appointment is in 4 days (13/10) and I’m looking at these videos 😂
I usually have some foils to assist in the delay between colouring. I found that just the single colour - in my case, dark brown wasn’t helping out my bright grey glow when it started growing out.
The foils help and I think it’s also helped me with a two tone look, maybe that’s the assistance I needed to embrace the grey.
I’m going to tell my stylist to make very light foils then I’m doing it! I’m leaving my hair to grow out! 🎉
Thanks for the inspiration ❤
GORGEOUS❤️❤️❤️❣️
The gray hair suits you sooo well. 😍
Thanks, Whitney is beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for watching.🙂
Out of all the gray hair transition videos I have watched, this is my favorite because of all your personal thoughts on the subject. I too feel like it's not just about going gray but more about self acceptance, loving you for who you really are and rocking it! I am 6 months into the process and for me, there is no turning back! I am also embracing my naturally curly hair for the 1st time in my life! (I am 62!) It's about time for me to love what God gave me. But anyway, thank you for sharing your journey. ♡ You are beautiful. ♡
This is such an inspiring story she is beautiful with gorgeous hair no matter what colour it is. I am 12 months into my grey grow out iv e had some ups and downs through the process , but I am now at the stage where I am loving the grey colours I have compared to the brownish colour on my lengths and my husband is my best support too. Jx
In all honesty she looks adorable with her grey hair, I want to do the same when my hair starts to grey, I will leave it the way it is, and truly embrace its real beauty! It’s gorgeous ❤I can’t wait till mines starts turning white…
Looks really good. Especially with the curly style.
I love your hair. I'm ready to do it. Finally! My hair is like your and cannot wait. My husband is my #1 supporter. I'm 42 and so tired of coloring. I want to look like me and not a an imaginary of me.
How has it been going? I'm almost 42 and really feel compelled to do it but getting past the stigma is hard.
Maybe the stares are cuz you are so striking! The silver really brings out your eyes…and you have thick beautiful hair! You were pretty before but now it really makes you pop! Love it!
I love this community! We all have our own journey and we are here to support one another. I am documenting my journey through the joys and challenging moments. This has been one of the hardest things to do and I'm glad to have a wonderful community of sisters! Thank you for sharing your story beautiful Whitney. Thank you Sparklingsilvers!!!! Blessings to all.
Thank You for your encouraging words, they came at just the right moment🙏
The people are probably staring at her because she is gorgeous!
Whitney, you have lovely gray hair and your different hairlooks are fabulous. So I will trying my journey to transition in gray😊 thanks you
She is such a beautiful woman, anything looks good on her. I follow her on Instagram and she inspired me for sure but of course then you wonder if you'll look half as good as she does with silver hair.
The looks at 4:23 is fierce! So stylish❤
So inspiring. And such a beautiful Woman. Im a few months into my grey journey and its challenging and liberating for sure. I wonder how far I will go!!?? I've been thinking about documenting my journey too. Thank for the reminder of all the support that is available out there. xxx
Hi! I noticed that lots of my viewers were coming from your channel, so I had to stop By. You are GORGEOUS!!!! I love crisp contrasts hazel eyes with salt and pepper hair. It is my favorite combination.
I loved watching your journey. I am just starting my transition. I have long dark curly hair but my natural salt and pepper is where I am aiming to be .❤ I have been wanting this for a while now. I am feeling ready. And my husband is such a wonderful support. No turning back. I will embrace this journey hopefully as gracefully as you have. Thank you for inspiring me .
Wow, so beautiful! We don't all have a face so beautifully stunning that ages gracefully with the transition to grey hair. I was inspired by this video, but I guess, not ready to ditch the colour yet. Some of us are plain looking and the "skunk stripe" of transitioning to grey is just too much to bear just yet! Thanks for this video, though!
Love it!! Thinking of let my gray grow out! This is encouraging ❤️
I have been trying to go color free for a long time but then the colleagues and friends start pointing out to my gray hair, suggesting that i should get them colored, coz they are making me look older. But looking at your transition, I am so motivated to stop dying my hair now, as I am not a huge fan of chemicals.
Best wishes! If we can do why not you. You have to have hard skin and dedication. 😊
Each photo of you more beautiful than the last. I love letting my grey shine.
This video is so inspiring & you look beautiful in all your pics. You've mentioned every feeling I'm feeling & I feel brave enough to start this journey. It's been 5 weeks since I dyed my hair last & hope I can see it through. I've always been very conscious of my greys & it still scares me a little to what will people think but I'm pushing that thought to the back of my mind. Thanks for all the encouragement!!
looks terrific...video is inspiring me to stay on course thx
Honestly, you are such a beautiful person, no matter what hair color, or style you do, you will be beautiful. However, this video is so encouraging and inspiring, I feel confident with my decision to embrace my grey hair. Thank you
Thank you so much!! Whitney is beautiful and inspiring. Good luck with your hair journey!
Wow! Your hair gorgeous and the salt and pepper is beautiful!
You’re so beautiful!! It’s so wonderful to see this confidence 🥰👩🦳
Beautiful girl, beautiful hair, beautiful clothes, and beautiful earings!!!!
Wow.. stunning transition lady.. just amazing .. thank you for sharing
Beautifully said and very inspiring how you share the depth of this process. I am starting over after my first try 1,5 years ago or so. Beauty is so much conditioned. I love how we learn in this proces to get back to our own authority and define what that is for us. It's authentic, pure and empowering. I can feel it in every word you say! Thank you for sharing.
Beautifull. I love your way of turning gray. I loved your video
Your hair and transition is stunningly gorgeous!!
I think grey hair is beautiful.....love the salt and pepper look. I have decided that I am letting my hair grow out and am welcoming the journey to be part of the silver sisters
Absolutely beautiful!!
Beautiful!!!!! I’m also transition I’m in almost 9 months in my journey.... I’m 45 now , but I can relate to u I started graying in my 20’s and like u felt the pressure on keep dying my hair... now I feel free and loving it ! Thank you for sharing!!! U look Fabulous!!!! 💕
Thank you for sharing your journey…very inspiring…I love it!
This looks so glamorous and striking. You rock it!
Thank you for this encouraging video. I'm also in the process of growing out my gray hair and some days are harder then others to stick with it.
Beautiful, I started my journey
I also at 62 decided I was DONE with the dyes and hair appointments. Today at 63 I am completely gray, my hair is shoulder length and curly. I am trying to grow it longer. It's so pretty... but I'm fascinated with pixies too! I need "convertible" hair! ha!
BEAUTIFUL! Like a work of Art.
*I like your style 👍
Thank you so much for this!!💖💖💖
Such an encouraging video, thank you!! I am 55 and looking to take another shot at going grey! HAHA!! I guess I just need to watch an encouraging video daily about going grey or at least when I feel discouraged. I am working through my "Why" of not only going grey but looking at any negative emotions as to my fear and self-judgement with going grey. I work with energy healing and releasing trapped emotions centered around this idea (there's probably an "idea intolerance") centered around this in a negative way that I need to release...so I"ll be working on that to help my journey. Thank you so much for this beautiful video! :)
It helps that you are incredibly beautiful. I am just beginning this journey and will be 59 in August. I hoping to learn to embrace my gray hair and aging.
Wonderful! Best of luck with your gray hair transition journey. 😊
Beautiful
Your gray hair is very pretty. It’s worth it.
Your hair looks so beautiful. Mine is very similar orangy brown dyed hair on the bottom and like 25% grey on my roots. I haven’t dyed it since thanksgiving. So I just about to reach my 6month mark. I turn 50 this year. And I’m sick of dying it.😊
Looks great...makes you look more regal.
I’m working on my transition. I believe it’s been 10 months. Can’t wait until it is all grown out!
I love your funky style with your hair so edgy.
Wow Whitney, totally loved your journey of your process! I am sharing this with one of my girlfriends who is in the transitional growing out phase. I know it will give her confidence during her process. xo
Wunderschön🥰. Hoffe das ich es auch schaffe , ist mein Dritter Versuch. Naja alle guten Dinge sind drei
Stunning 👏! I started my journey 2 weeks ago 😁.
I think people are staring because you're stunning.
Exactly!
Maybe, when people stare they see what your husband sees …someone stunningly gorgeous!
Beautiful transition! I have very long hair & was reluctantly thinking of going shorter for the grow out, but I just watched this video & changed my mind. I will get a few inches cut off the bottom only, to help cut off the “Dyed Covid Crispy Fried” hair. Thank you for the inspiration & motivation!
Thanks for watching. I am glad you are here. 😊
Grey hair is so liberating, and yes, God’s glory, BUT He also made the colours pink, purple and blue for us to play with and make us edgy again 😜
En estos momentos te vez mucho más hermosa siendo genuina, sin tinte en tu pelo. Eres única, bella, hermosa y valiente. 💕
Whitney, trully beautiful hair and woman. Greetings from Holland
wow im so fed up with hair dye.. I am tyrning 42 but 3 years ago I carried my hair blonde and forcing it to platinum. Then one day I got so tired of maintanance and so I dyed it jet black I taught my problem was solve I was planning to grow my hair out. suddenly grey hair started to peack out from every directiom
At first I was well no big deal all just dye the roots like my mama does. Then I got frustrated dying it every 3 weeks. I loved my grdy color after all it was the color I hD always be aiming for but now my age had caught up to me. Grey hair instead of making me feel and look wild and beautiful it made me feel old an ugly. My grey grows un even and only on the front. watching this video makes me want to grow it out and say f.... it this is who I am embrase it. thnks for inspiration maybe I will get the guts to grow it out once and for all. my brpther grew out jis he is 38 and he looks handsome with grey hair so my guess is I will look pertty too 😊
Beautiful I'm 4 years dye free and love my hair 🥰
Beautiful!
I'm considering it. My girl who cuts my hair told me my natural hair is white, platinum. I can't imagine it. I'm sick of dying my hair but also afraid I'll look washed out.
WOW! This is so inspiring. I'm going through a transition myself. If she can do it,so can I.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you so much for this video I began having Gray hair at 17 , today I’m 42 and I gave up dying my hair I hope it looks as good as yours ☺️
I was inspired by this video
