    Thank you for your video! Your hair looks great! I’m 63 and have been growing out my gray 4 months now. At first however I was a little freaked out because I have been coloring my hair since my early thirties. But I’ve learning to be more relaxed and to embrace the journey.

      I just turned 57 and retired from my job. I bought two boxes of hair color a week ago and just decided nope not going to do it anymore.

    It's only going to get better! It's so freeing & it somehow elicits more compliments. I'm quite shy & was surprised at how many strangers started conversations with me when I let my silver grow out. Your curls are fabulous! Stay well. Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY

    Trying to maintain a short shape: hair grows at warp speed. Growing out hair color: slower than a sleeping sloth.

    Thanks for your thoughts. We’re about the same. The last time I dyed my hair was September 2nd. I am also trying to enjoy the process and trying to not jump ahead to what it will look like. This is a test of my patience but I tell myself to enjoy the journey because when it’s over my dark hair will be gone forever. It’s a long goodbye to dark hair! 😍

    I subscribed! I’m in my three months of going gray and have curly hair. I tried once before about 8 months ago and was shocked at the change and went back to dying. After mid January I defended to embrace it. Your video sounds so much like how I feel. Excited to see how tmy gray/silver hair will turn out like and am super excited to see what I will look like. Yes celebrate US!! See you next time!

    Your gray is a lovely, silvery color, and the curl is awesome. Because you have such lovely skin, the combination will be absolutely stunning. By summer, you'll need to leave early on errands to answer the compliments you'll get along the way.

    Wow! I scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else noticed all of the small floating light orbs in this woman's video. They are flying all over the place, like fireflies. You cannot see them with your naked eye, but a digital camera will catch them and you can watch them on playback. She clearly could not see them during filming, but man, we can see them now!

    I took clippers and put a one-inch long guard on it and I cut off everything but my bangs. Going from dying my hair to being a natural grey took me 15 minutes. Now I can let it grow out if I want to. Enjoying the short hair for now. Easy to wash and take care of.

  • @sarachristian1437
    @sarachristian1437 4 года назад +2

    just let me tell you it was really hard for me not to scroll down in comment before you were done with the video! Because your hair looks fantastic with that grey sweater that you are the one if your hair is going to grow in that color you're going to look great in that sweater LOL so wear it often! I think it's going to look fantastic because your skin is really clear and you hardly need a speck of makeup at all on your face to put color on there actually I just think it's very beautiful. And the fact that it's so true that it's your own color and the fact that you don't have to pay for it cuz you get it for free, is even better

  • @cassieb1860
    @cassieb1860 5 лет назад +5

    Oh girl, you are just starting! When I transitioned my hair was below bra strap, it took me 18 months with several drastic layered cuts but I kept it long. I think the second half of the growth is the hardest because you just want it over with. I can tell you a couple things: you won’t know your hair color until ALL the dye is off. Seriously, even the last couple inches cast a color on your hair. My hair changed color after the completion, actually became much darker over the last couples years, so much so my stylist asked if I had colored. (She only sees me three times a year-long hair!) The texture is different now. Much softer, waves are much smoother but not as tight. ( it’s similar pattern to yours) But the one thing is fantastic is my hair is thicker, much thicker over the last couple of years. I never had the complements on my hair when I dyed. I get people telling me they love my long hair and often ask if I dye it this way! lol Keep going! It is worth it and unless you are allergic to dye (like me) you can always dye it again.
    Sorry for the book!

    Beautiful hair. It will be gorgeous gray. Agree, enjoy the journey.
    Changes in what I wear; for me it was about tone, I went from dark hair, which was a high contrast with my skin tone to lighter hair, less contrast. I have to say I can wear more earrings than I did before because the tone is continuous from hair to ear rings. I have short hair. I didn’t like it before when my hair was dark because it didn’t flow. It just looked like things were dangling off my ears. Looks like your hair is going to be lighter than the colored part, I think your natural color hair is going to compliment your skin better but I also think your colored hair is a pretty color.

My bangs have another month to go before I can trim off the rest of the color on them. I like my silver hair but it does scream and draw attention. Like you, I am an introvert, and that by itself requires an adjustment. I have shoulder-length hair and plan a big chop when my bangs are grown out....yeah!!
