Women look beautiful with natural grey hair 😍
I've had bits of gray hair since highschool, and increased so much when I entered my 40s...I know somehow that I need to let go of the illusion that I look better dyed, and I'm so tired having my hair colored every 3 weeks. I'm done with it and now I realize that I should let the grays shine and accept the real me at 44.
I stopped coloring my hair six months ago and have rarely felt so free. Yes, in the beginning, other people looked at my hairline a lot. No, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I don't define myself by my hair color.
The people who mean something to me support me, the people who don't support me mean nothing to me.
It is worth escaping the pressure of a society in which you always have to be strong, efficient, good-looking and, if possible, not aging.
Like I said, I feel so much better.
I didn't colour my hair since 10 months, I'm only 44 yet, and guess what I look totally stunning like you. Big thanku for ur video. It's really adorable.
WARNING IMPORTANT TIP: be careful with semi permanent dye. I am 3 years into natural gray journey & in my 50s. My natural hair color is darkest brown, that tends to look black in photos. My hair is almost tailbone length. I put in Colorista semi permanent dyes in: maroon, indigo blue & burgundy. Ruined my natural gray. It DOES NOT come out in several washes. I found Go Gray Revitalizing Treatment. Took 2 boxes, alternating 2 weekends. This system worked to remove what was left of the color. I am now "stuck" with new gray hair growth & a light red brown ish color. I chose to keep my length & gradually cut off the brown.🤷🏽♀️ So I'm actually starting again.
Buen consejo!!!!
SILVER THE NEW BLOND :)
I turned 54 this last march, and last dyed my hair 3 weeks ago, After watching your video I am going to embrace my Silver. I have thought about it for a while and just watching the silver come in is actually making me feel even more attractive. Thank you for the inspiration that going silver is beautiful.
Hi. How is your transition to gray going?
You are gorgeous and your hair is stunning. I love grey hair!
What a stunning woman❣
You look amazing!! And your pattern is gorgeous, I love how it frames your face. Nature’s highlights perfectly placed.
Your hair looks stunning. WAY COOL! 😎
A couple years ago i decided to embrace my silver and it was the absolute right choice. I get many compliments. I think it makes one look younger. Dyed hair and an aging face dont work well together. My hairdresser said the two most important things for stunning silver hair is to use a purple shampoo and a hair product that adds as much shine as possible. She is so right.
Beautiful , I am a black woman with a large afro , 63 and is just now gray this gives me inspiration .
I love my gray hair I let it go 4 years now and it's the best thing that I have done for my hair. I get more compliments now then when I used to color it! Embrace your gray.
I am 38 and I have lots of grey hair. I started dyeing my hair at 36 guy said my grey annoyed him. I dye it red so, my grey turned red. I liked the colour, the thing is that of course, I needed to dye it every 2 weeks because the roots were very noticeable. Now, I changed to brown but I did a mess, thinking that the other colour was semi-permanent, and the permanent will cover the red hair. Now, I am brown roots and dark red the rest of my hair. I am really considering leaving my grey, why do we dye our hair? men? society? because everyone hates grey?...
She is so beautiful with her grey hair
Beautiful. She reminds me of Anne Bancroft.
And here I am as well!! 54 and having to dye it every 3 weeks....today is Monday and I have an appt this Wednesday for a full "babylight" throughout with a deposit of a silver tone. Fingers crossed this will make my transition easier. I'm SO ready to start this new chapter... 😊
Jennifer look great with gray hair!! Suits her wonderfully.
Love this❣️ Thank you for the supportive inspiration. 🤍🙏🏼🤍
Very sofisticated and elegant!
You and your hair are beautiful! It really is beautiful! Stay beautiful!
Thought of going grey enters every womens mind at one point but they dont know how to stop and don't know what is the right way to stop so if you are reading this I'm telling you there is no right way only your way and yes you will know when it's time to do this cuz that is what I felt it's a feeling and a attitude towards doing this grey journey...6 years dye free
Love this. I think I have just hit that point myself. Which is what bought me here. I shaved my head two years ago, but then continued to dye it as it re grew. But I do often wonder how growing out black box dye would be. So I guess this is the first day of finding out. You look amazing ☺️
Great video!
I am 9 months into going grey. It’s such a loooooong process. I agree that going grey is psychologically more than changing your hair color. It’s accepting with open arms where you are in life. It’s being your authentic you maybe for the first time. I’ve been bleaching my hair blonde since 7th grade. I’m now 52, and I didn’t even know my natural hair color is as dark as it is! I have grey temples, but I wish I had more. Love your grey money piece!
You look absolutely beautiful with the grey. I can’t wait until I’m done.
I will 50 in April, I have been letting my gray, and silver grow for 6 months. I love it🙂
Absolutely stunning!!
It is VERY beautiful!! MORE than the all-black!
Love this. I'm already going gray only I to my second month and I was very sad at first. But I am determined.
Wow beautiful transformation. Been thinking of going gray, getting tired of coloring every 2-3 weeks. You are an inspiration.
Absolutely beautiful! You wear it well 😊
You are inspiring me. My hair is dark and coming in silver and i didnt think it would look like yours!! Im going to let it grow out. Yours is so pretty.... thank you for sharing.
Very beautiful transition!
She is one of my favorite silversisters!!! She inspired me!!!
Lucky to have a cool complexion and perfectface
I am 34 and i am letting my natural greys grow out. It is such a beautiful color! ❤
انا ايضا عمري 32سنة اريد ان اترك شعري الرمادي يظهر لكن اريد تحفيز هل يمكنك أن تكوني صديقتي لكي تحفزيني
Completely AMAZING ! ! !
Wow, Jen, you're such an inspiration! I am 43 and extremely gray under my dark ! I have also been complimented on my long dark hair, and that it made me look like I was much younger than I am. I also have light blue-gray eyes, and they really pop with the dark hair. I worried that my look would no longer have a pop that made it all stand out. I also thought I would look so strange if I tried to grow it out-- especially without transition dying it. I'm about 8 weeks out from my last coloring, and you have inspired me to keep going!
You will look great after the transition. I have brown eyes and was worried that it won’t be a good idea to go grey but it’s stunning now. No regrets! 😊
I'm 8 weeks out too. this is hard
I am 46 and one year gray. I am now letting it grow since I went cold turkey and cut it very short at first. I feel inspired by these gray sisters with beautiful long hair, despite everyone keeps telling me that I need to keep a short modern haircut to look “young”.
I decided to let grow and give it a try.
I have dark brown eyes and I used to be brunette. I am happy about this choice of freedom. Blessings to all of you. ❤️
You are soooo beautiful....thanks for sharing your journey
You look Beautiful!! The contrast of your silver hair and your dark hair is amazing! ❤ I’m going to do the same now. Thank you!
60! 2 months in! No more dye...thx for the inspiration
I was in my twenties when I promised myself that when my hair turns gray/silver I will stop coloring it. I started coloring my hair when I was 11 because I never liked my natural hair color. I just turned 31 & started noticing that my hair is turning gray.. & honestly.. I'm happy & excited! It's been almost 20 years since I embraced my natural hair color. It's time! And I'm so happy there are other women sharing their experiences! Gives me motivation to keep going & keeping the promise I made to myself! ❤
You look magical
I loved this!!! I love the natural gray on wemen. Also, as we age, our skin tone also changes. So the gray matches us more and more as we grow older. It just looks right compared to fake color.
You look stunning the silver compliments and frames your beautiful features ❤️🦘🐨
Stunning ❤ beautiful
Good for you in dumping the chemicals and the hassle. Enjoy.
Thank you for your empowering words! You're beautiful.
Simply gorgeous!
I like the mix
Wow! Sooooo beautiful 😍😍❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤. Thank you for sharing! Very encouraging as I start my journey too
Great! Good luck with your hair journey.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It has been hard for me at times. I feel like another person....
Im 39 and im sick and tired of the roots.... i paint my hair blonde since 18 years old. I have the same white hair as you. So im a blonde that struggle to keep a decent colour because my whites turn purple most of the time and my other hair are a cold blonde. So im seriously thinking to let the natural colour appear. Great video and a stunning woman!
DO IT!
I am thinking about stopping the dye cycle also. sigh, it is a little sad isn't it! Thank you for sharing.
You can do it! Best of luck with your gray hair transition journey!
You’re lucky your colored hair never oxidized. Mine is turning orangy from the reddish brown dye I use to use. Hard to blend in without having to do some sort of process onto it. Your hair looks amazing.
Thank you for this video and encouragement, decided to go gray this year.
Best wishes! 😊
Very beautiful.. I'm 51, and my hair is starting to turn grey, not quite there yet though, I'm just letting it go.
Lovely!
So pretty!❤
I`ve tried for 2 years to not dye my hair, I was 34 at that that... after 2 years I gave up, even working from home, sometimes had to go in the office, felt like I was looking in the mirror and looked like I`m not taking care of myself. I started again dying it black as my eyebrows are natural jet black... My grays started when I was 30 and I have a good front patch that it turns grey after 2-3 weeks after dying it... Your story is amazing, I wish I had that courage at that time to say no and continue with my silver. I`m 38 now, going on 39, but that`s it for me, I have to stop hiding my bewitched look :) Thank you.
Oh là là tellement belle !!!et charismatique 💞👌
Well happy for you cause these chemicals in hairdye could at some point cause cancers :(
Especially the darker the color the more ppd as well. Wich poses a risk for strong allergic reactions no matter how many times someone used the hairdye they could all the sudden become allergic to it.
You look beautiful Jennifer, with and without the grey hair. But the grey does suit you so well. ❤️ I’m on my own grey hair journey too this year. In 2020 after the first lockdown in Ireland, I went from a brunette bob to light brown bob, then in 2021, I went to a golden blonde bob, then in 2022 to a platinum pixie, now I’m about 60%/ grey pixie, and I love it so much. I finally feel comfortable with myself now, after a lifetime of self criticism and constant comparisons to others, to embrace myself as myself, not who I want others to see me as. I finally feel at peace and I’m so relieved to finally be here now. It has been a long hard road to reach this point in my life, but I can finally breathe and accept myself and my beautiful grey hair. 🌸🥰
Thanks Catherine, Jennifer is beautiful and inspiring. I am a grey pixie girl for the last four years and am on my way to growing my hair long. I love my hair very much, it's so soft and shiny now. I agree it's not an easy journey but worth it. Good luck with your hair journey and thanks for watching this inspiring journey. 🙂
I’m turning 50 in couple of days i love my grey hair for yhe pas two years i try yo blend my silvery hair with the rest if my hair i don’t want yo color my hair any more for me have a grey hair doesn’t means your old it means elegance, class and experience
Your hair is gorgeous ....You are so right, dying are hair every 3 weeks is too much up keep.My husband is the only one who hates my long silver hair.Everyone else loves my long silver hair. Are hair is so much more healthy being silver.You rock your silvers !!!
Annika was one of my inspirations in 2017; it took so long and wearing the masks, I needed to see color so I caved in, enjoyed color the last 2 years and now I'm back doing it cold turkey; my only regret is I cut my long hair into a short bob. So disappointing! I tip my hat to you, your results are beautiful like Annika too, you have a beautiful pattern, I didn't the first time, I hope I do this time. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. PS I journed Silver Sister 3 weeks ago. wink :)
Wow if I can look that good in gray!! I am in transition now and it's ruff. I want to get the gray in.!
Stunning !
Thank you! She is stunning.
I wish this stunning woman had smiled in her pictures at least a little bit in a few. I stopped the dark brown dye in 2020 and love the salt and pepper that has replaced it. I did not cut my hair like so many women do when transitioning. My waist length grey hair gets compliments all the time!
I am 58 now I decided to go grey I am excited. When I'll be 60 be just right. Your hair is beautiful .
Esta chica se ve tan hermosa con sus canas!!! Felicidades 🎊 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Am 47 and am deciding to embrace my wisdom. I was a hairstylist for years and I also was known for my full head of luscious chocolate hair
Your gray hair is beautiful!!
Thanks, she is beautiful 😍
Hi there. I am late turning to grey, but loved the way your hair looked as you were grown yours out. I wanted to ask. Did you use any sorts of dye at all when you were growing out the grey? I love the black and silver look you have getting towards the middle or a bit later of your video. Did it go naturally that way or did you give it a helping hand? I would love mine to look like yours and transitioning the same way. Kind regards. Rowena
After the chop it looked especially lovely. She is a pretty woman regardless of hair though
Wow
Dark black hair is more likely to be gray. It is good to accept it and remove any chemical to make it black, whether the grayness existed by its time or not. I appreciate what you said and your hair it self. You are so gorgeous .
Growing in natural color is not easy. A person has to really want their natural color to not cave in.
I just finished my transition from blond to the natural color....blondish pewter. It's a unique color. I noticed that my hair was looking orange on the bottom half. It was ugly. I thought that maybe my color was still growing out but then realized it is mineral buildup from the hard water where I live. Usually mineral buildup is yellowish, but if there is iron in the water it goes orange. I am working to get all that removed. It takes awhile to get it out. So, for my silver sisters out there, watch out for mineral buildup. It really sneaks up on you and
you don't know it's happening until it's very built up. Looking back, I wish I had done regular maintenance for mineral buildup on my hair and I will from now on.
Anna, thank you for this insight! How do you get rid of mineral build up?
Fabulous….!!!!
Thanks 😊
Beautiful ❤hope i can do this 🙏
Very beautiful, your hair & you.
grey hair looks better than your own hair colour seeing you it will help woman do the same l know l want die my hair again from Rebecca Allan from Scotland 🏴
una bomba ! belissima.
You look absolutely gorgeous with grey hair...... WoW! Get it will get more compliments than your black hair did!
Cheers!
I agree! Jennifer is a gorgeous silvervixen.
Thanks you look great..I have been wanting to do this for years..but never got the nerve..I decided a couple of weeks ago I'm done I have been coloring my hair since I'm 16..premature grey.im 67 now but look in early 50s..I was afraid it would make me look old..I don't care I'm going for..im mostly white my hair is naturally almost black and have been coloring it that color..thanks again for video it's giving me support..but I'm going to highlight it white so makes growth blend it a little better..
Best wishes! You can do that.😊
@sparklingsilvers thank you appreciate the support
You're beautiful!
when it is important to understand who you are
Your hair looks so pretty ❤ I am 47 and have never dyed my hair. I was at the Dentist the other day and the dentist and assistant were talking about how men look distinguished with gray hair, but women should color their hair and of course.y gray hair had to be mentioned! I just women could be nicer to each other, It made me feel bad. I'm still not going to color it!
You look absolutely gorgeous!
She had no line of demarcation! Good transition
I finally decided to go grey but short too so shaved it all off start fresh
Great! Best of luck with your gray hair transition journey.
I thought I was the only one having to dye every three weeks. The hardest part is beginning 😊
Im 32 and salt and pepper and just chopped of my mid length hair to my shoulders to help my gray come in. Im about 5 inches in i think maybe six.
