You are beautiful inside and out Trish. When you talked about your single friend who is concerned about going gray due to ageism...whew, that hit me the same way it hit you, because that is my own fear! I’m 52 still looking for the love of my life AND just figuring out how I’m going to make a mark in this world - it scares the hell out of me to not be perceived as young and vibrant based solely on my hair color! I’m just shy of four months in, and I keep telling myself “It’s going to look very cool, like I have silver highlights.” I’m not going to deny, it’s a struggle emotionally. But I’m thrilled I came upon you in my search for “gray transition” inspiration. I’ve subscribed 🤗❤️
Michele Rosenblum Oh my goodness! When I loved your comment, I replied as well and for some reason; my comment didn’t post. YT is acting up for me and it’s annoying! Let’s give it another try shall we? Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m so happy this video resonated with you. I totally get where you are coming from! I feel young and healthy and don’t want my hair color to define anything about me. But then why should it? It’s up to us to change that paradigm! But it is hard. And I’ve had some crap days for sure. But then I also had crap days when I was dying my hair where I felt not super cute or thought I looked “old” when I looked in the mirror. So it’s important to remember that too. It’s also helping to try to be neutral about my hair. Not hate it; and not love it. Just be with it. Kind of a nonjudgmental observer about what’s going on with it LOL. Feel free to reach out over on IG if you need some support!!! 😘 XOXO
Yay you! After several years of thinking about it..,I finally ditched the dye and cut off the last of my dye at age 60 in December 2019. The growing out was rough...but I’m SO glad I hung in there. I wish I had done it sooner like you. Hang in there! It’s going to be gorgeous.
I think your hair will look fantastic. It's also nice that your family is on board and that you have someone who's taking the journey too to share your experience with. You hit the nail on the head! It's not necessarily the grey hair....it's also the condition of your skin, how you dress, and your overall vibrance. Totally agree with you about the difference between women and men. So frustrating!
Thanks Tanya! And yeah, it is frustrating, can you imagine a support group for men going gray? But it's where we are at this point in time and I'm glad that at least the conversation is happening and women are questioning why we dye our roots, even if we make the conscious decision to do so.
I'm so glad that you found it helpful! I have a couple more gray updates if you're interested, and am planning another one in the new year as it truly is an ongoing journey and evolution. XOXO
Thanks so much for sharing your experience growing out your greys. I'm four months in and did pretty much the same as you describe in lightening your hair and using purple shampoo. I'm still basking in the freedom from covering my roots... just can't believe I waited till my mid-50's to do this. Also, regarding your comment about criticism of the choice to colour correct the dyed hair to ease the transition - I've noticed this too, with some ire; there's a doctrinaire attitude from some hardcore 'cold turkey' advocates... kind of like a virtue of some higher order to embrace the skunk line's potential for psychological and moral growth. Your hair looks great by the way, and I hope you make more videos of your grow out.
M Carmella Thank you so much for commenting! I honestly don’t understand that line of thinking, being critical of however a person chooses to grow out their gray. It’s such a personal decision and attitudes like that drive people away and make them feel inadequate. That’s why I’m staying on the fringes of it; and only follow a few gals that bring me silver inspo!
Hi Trish. Thank you for the video. This video appeared in my recommended feed, as I have been searching and watching “Going Gray” videos for the past 6-8 weeks or so. I am with you on the grey hair grow out. I’ve had a silver stripe since 16, and went totally grey around 35. I love my stylist and she does a wonderful job with my color but I have been wondering about all the chemicals. I hate the time commitment, and the itching/burning scalp...every 4 weeks. To add insult to injury, the gray begins to sparkle out often two weeks! I turned 50 in October, had surgery in December, so last root dye and all-over color touch up I had done was in late November 2019. With recovery-time backing into quarantine, I am rocking 4-inch silver roots. I have committed to stop the hair dye, my husband and friends are pretty supportive. With you on this journey. Good luck!!
So glad to have you here!! And I hope to do a followup video very soon:) I hope your surgery and recovery went well. I'm glad you have supportive people around you for your grow out, it's not always easy, but it has been so worth it! Good luck to you too. XOXO
My mom used to dye her hair black for several years and later developed lymphoma. Of course it's not known for sure whether the hair dye caused it but there is that possibility. I am 61 and have reached the point of no return as well about hair coloring. It's only been 2 months for me but I am determined to stick this out. Rock on, my silver sister! Hope to see more updates on your progress . ☺
You just never know, so it's important to do what feels right for your health. I have a couple more gray update video that I've done since this one, that you might be interested in. I've started adding some lowlights to break up the gray a bit, but no root coverage, so I feel better that the dye isn't touching my scalp.
Your hair looks great, Trish! I too have very dark hair and colored for a long time (thinking my grays were very obvious in contrast). I finally trimmed off the last of my colored hair last summer, and I will never go back! It was definitely a process for me, both internally and externally, but it totally changed my life. That sounds dramatic, but I really have grown in confidence and feel so much more free to be myself. I no longer feel ashamed to let myself be me- naturally and just the way I am. You are right- this isn't something men really have to think about. Gray haired men are considered "distinguished," but women with gray hair are accused of "letting themselves go." I am so excited for this movement where women ARE letting themselves go- go free of society's demands and letting themselves go free to be the beautiful ladies they already are. Best wishes on your journey! I'm rooting for you (and also hoping that I get a cool white streak right in front). As an aside- you mentioned purple shampoo. Do you know of/are you using a "green" option? I haven't been able to find any so far.
I don't think that sounds dramatic at all, I totally get you! And thanks for cheering me on, it means so much! XOXO Someone else asked me about a "greener" option for the purple shampoo, and I got the Davines one, because that's what is at my salon. I know over the years I've heard that Davines touts itself as "natural" and sustainable. I'm not sure how accurate that really is, but maybe it's better than other brands? I honestly haven't looked into it that deeply. But in the long run I will only be using it maybe twice a month so I'm not too concerned about it.
I loved listening to your hair journey, Trish. You're always honest with your opinions and intentions. You hit on so many excellent points of discussion: how women are most critical of each other, having fun with self-expression or hair-expression, and ageism. Your note on cameras picking up on every little detail and that driving force of negative personal perception… I loved this video!! I can't wait to see how they grow in, and I would LOVE to see you with some pink toner!!!
Tender Forms Thank you Maggie! It’s interesting what becomes even more clear as you embark on a new path that takes you out of your comfort zone. Maybe you can help me pick out the pink toner when I get there! 🦄
Fab. You may see I went gray in my photo, but then 4yrs ago dyed it again. Silly I know, but I am starting the journey again at the age of 59. Great listening to you and I too remember Sun In in the 70 S. You look great x
It's not silly! I might do the same thing, you never know! It's day by day. Right now I am still plugging along and trying to embrace the silvers as they come :)
So, I'm about 10 years behind you, but I've started to notice the sparklers coming in more quickly. I have also started thinking more seriously about when and if I'm going to start coloring. And, you have certainly helped inspire me to just wait a little and see how It goes. It appears we have similar hair (color, length and texture) and I love your hair right now! I am hopeful my hair turns as beautifully as your hair is transitioning. And, I would love to have an update video every once in awile!
I loved this video, Trish! I think your hair looks as beautiful now as it always has. I'm 64, and have just recently started to go gray and I'm not going to dye it. My hair is naturally a streaky blonde, so the color change doesn't feel major except that at times I think hmmm...that's kinda mouse-colored now! I've noticed that I want to wear more color than I used to - maybe that's why so many women turn to dying their hair red when they are going gray? On a more serious note, I believe that it's important that we embrance aging. We are the elders and have the opportunity to fully own that and participate in society as such. We can't expect aging to be revered as it once was if we continue to demonstrate that we're terrified to exhibit any outward signs of its occurence. I think we have some responsibility in creating a new paradigm where every phase of life is respected and celebrated.
Holly D You said that so well Holly! We can create a new paradigm where we neither retreat into the background nor deny our aging. We can embrace it fully and healthfully and also not be ashamed at wanting to continue to be stylish and look our best, whatever that means for each of us. I am always inspired by the Advanced Style blog as it reminds me that age is truly just a number!! www.advanced.style
@@TrishV1 Thank you, Trish! Oh yes, I love Advanced Style. That's Not My Age is another good blog that features older women - there's a podcast too but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.
Hey! Im new to your channel. I'm 34 and started my gray journey about 6 months ago. i'm only about 20% grey but I don't want to use chemicals on my hair anymore so I'm quitting the dye. most days i'm loving it. sometimes i'll see a photo and think i look much older but coming to terms with that not being such a bad thing. also love your earrings!
StinaSpace Thank you for watching! I’m so glad you’re here 😊 I know how you feel, it’s odd and a little discomforting to see photos or videos with the new gray. But like you said, you get more used to it as time goes on and it just is what it is. I’m pretty sure the earrings are from Twist in Portland. If I can remember the designer’s name I will come back and let you know!
@@TrishV1 you actually made a really god point about some days waking up and feeling old but remembering you also had those feeling before you were gray. that's what itell myself if I see a photo taken that I don't like of myself. i def didn't like all the photos of myself before I stopped colouring my hair. lighting angles skin also play a huge part.
@@stinaspace728 Yes, exactly! There are photos of myself all through my life that I didn't like. That's just the way it goes. I will like some of them with my gray hair, and some...not so much!
StinaSpace Hey Stina! Just wanted to let you know, that I am on the same path... I am 35 right now, with a platinum blonde pixie... and I am sooo over the bleaching and the short hair as well... so I am letting this mess grow out as well, it‘s my 3rd month now and even though this break (natural hair - platinum blonde) is visible, I don‘t even want to get highlights anymore to soften it, because the greys are doing pretty much the same job!😂 I also don‘t have a head full of grey hair... so I am very excited about how it’ll look once all the damaged hair has grown out and it’s just me and my hair with all the natural grey highlights.🤪 Good luck to you on your journey!🤗🍀
I love that you are talking about and owning your process. I’ve been greying for 20 years. I love it but... the last few years, diminishment of facial pigment really flipped me out. I think I used to assume that people played w dying hair from an aesthetic POV. Now, I believe it’s more about identity-remaining more in line w how we see self. Hmm
@@galdjlajfaljaljdfladjfla3205 It really is a complicated topic. Hair sometimes isn't just hair is it? And it's hard to let go of how we have seen ourselves for so many years.
For some reason I am just now seeing this comment. You are so right! It is difficult to get used to seeing myself with a whole new hair color. I’m trying to be neutral about the adjustment. Not hating it and not trying to force myself to love it. Just be with it.
Oh my gosh! I remember Sun-In. Terrible for the hair, but so much fun when you are 13/14. I've done all the Run Lola Run fire-engine red, purple, blue, eggplant hair colors and finally let my grey grow about 10 years ago. Looks great and I like it, but def had some blowback when I originally let it out. Now everyone loves it...except for prospective employers. That's a whole other Oprah though. I am thinking of putting some silver/purple toners/rinses through it to tone down some of it for job interviews coming up and found an amazing natural hair colorist in LA. Wish me luck!
Yeah for someone who remembers Sun-in!! I'm sure that stuff was awful! Good luck at your next appointment! I'm sure there are amazing colorists in LA, let me know how it goes! XOXO
I have been gray since I was in high school. I stopped coloring my hair 15 years ago at the age of 41. My hair is totally silver and gray. I get tons of compliments on my hair. I have had to change what color clothing I wear and my make up to give my body and face some color and I look great per what friends and strangers say.
I'm a Sun-In survivor too! 😂 Just started my process (7 weeks since last color, 3 months since last highlights). Looking forward to saving $$ & seeing what my grey pattern will be!
Thank you for speaking about the self criticism. I don’t know any women that truly feel good about themselves and that is a real societal problem. Letting our hair be natural seems like it shouldn’t be a big deal but it is. What a waste of time and energy. It is better for the environment in so many ways. And who knows what the chemicals do to our body. I am single and I have worried about dating while my hair is growing out. In my gut I know what is right. I’ve tried a few times and gotten to about 6 months and then I cave. Hopefully this time I won’t.
Just be easy on yourself....it truly is a journey and a process unique to each one of us. Not sure if you saw this gray update of mine: ruclips.net/video/iW2eNEi5-bY/видео.html but I talk about finding a good balance of letting my grays grow, but also playing with highlights and lowlights and it's really working out well. I only go to the salon every 3-6 months now and it feels so much better on every level for me!
I love that you're doing this, and how you're doing it. I have talked with my colorist, and she recommended the same technique of highlighting. Your hair looks great! It's exciting, and I'm about ready to take the same path at 56 :) I'm willing to bet our hair will be healther for it.
Lisa G I’m trying to focus on the excitement as much as I can rather than the unknown and worry. I think highlights are a good way to go for those of us not wanting to go “cold turkey”. Keep me posted and I shall do the same! 😘
I just started the process since the social distancing and lockdown so about 2 months into the going gray process plus I’m doing the curly girl stuff too! Hopefully I will keep it going...I’m tired of frying my hair at 425 in order to straighten it. You look great!
Just found this video and I have to say a big THANK YOU ❤️! I just turned 46 and I've been toying with the idea of going gray for a while now. Everything you said I have also thought - the annoyance of having to touch up my roots every two weeks, the expense, the time, the exposure to hazardous chemicals, the fact that women even have to worry about this and men typically do not - all of that has been on my mind lately. And then I watched your video and I just felt so relieved that there's other women out the thinking the same things. So thank you! Also, thanks for the suggestion about highlights. My hair looks really similar to yours in terms of color and length, so now I know what my hair will look like. I have a hairdresser appointment coming up and now I know what to tell my stylist to do! You are beautiful - keep going and keep us updated!
Grab Mane I am really overwhelmed with gratitude that you took the time to write such a thoughtful comment. Thank you!! It means so much to me that you have connected with my experience which of course is the experience of so many of us out there!! I am touched and humbled that it helped you. ☺️ I am hoping to get another video out in the coming weeks for another update on my gray journey. There are good days and bad days to be sure, but I’m sticking with it!! I’m cheering you on and feel free to reach out over on IG as I’m over there all the time and not as much here on YT with this current situation. XOXO
@@TrishV1 looking forward to any of your upcoming videos on going gray - I just subscribed to your channel so I'll get notified of updates. Loving all the green beauty products (another thing I've been meaning to look into - and so much information is here!) I'll be sure to look for you on Instagram too. 😁 thank you!
I’m in my early 40s with similar brown hair to yours - I’ve never colored it (lazy and cheap). my stylist says I have virgin hair.. My grays have been coming in since my early 30s I think and I have just let them come in naturally. I get compliments all the time on my hair. I live in LA, home of the dyed head and people stop me almost daily to compliment my hair. As the grays have come in and grown out they’ve started to look like highlights. I personally think that gray hair is sexy on men and women and feel empowered by my natural crown. I did start using purple shampoo every week or two to take any dull brassy tone out and make the gray look more silver - it works well! Do you have a recommendation on less toxic options for blue/purple shampoos? Stay committed to the process, you will be so happy in the end!!
Well here's to lazy and cheap! LOL! Way to embrace you natural hair color and to be a role model for others in your area who might have never even thought of that as an option. As for the purple shampoo, I got the Davines one, because that's what is at my salon. I know over the years I've heard that Davines touts itself as "natural" and sustainable. I'm not sure how accurate that really is, but maybe it's better than other brands? I honestly haven't looked into it that deeply. But in the long run I will only be using it maybe twice a month so I'm not too concerned about it.
I started the same time as you! Can't wait to see how it goes. My hair is darker than my profile pic. I have about 3 inches from roots silver. Your hair looks very thick and so is mine. Hoping it only takes a year. Keep posting please! 😁
It makes me so happy to hear from others that they are on the same "gray journey!" I will definitely keep up with the updates and yep...the grays are coming on strong! LOL
Wear it with pride. I haven’t colored my hair since 2008. And it was semi permanent. I’m just 43 and have streaks in my hair. Their is times some will look at those white hairs standing on end. Especially since mine are growing on. I have many younger woman ask who my colorist is... it’s natural. Society makes us chase our youth, and never supports growing old gracefully. Supporting our crones stage. Our solidarity of been there and doing that... come now. We are not the woman of their 50’s back in the 70’s and 80’s. Getting perms and pink or blue rinse on our short tight granny haircuts. Who knows.. but I doubt you’re one of them! It’s okay to age!!! We age! I want to support my aging. I’m okay with lines. My lips... my badges of laughter and bags of sodium... haha. Have we not earned our beauty... why should grey hair be coined old. I see it as wisdom. I see it as beauty. I don’t want to be that nip and tuck woman. I want to grow old and be human. Isn’t that life... I’m closer to 50 than 20... I don’t want to carry the hair I’ve had all my life when it’s changing on its own. It’s white... white... so I can’t wait to play with deep silver. Every year I get new stripes. It’s so exciting to me. I love it!!!! We are so much more fashionable and put together than the ladies of the late 20th century.
Cheers to that! Bags of sodium...LOL. I love that and will have to use that one in the future! I wholeheartedly agree and am down with your sentiment on aging. It's truly a privilege to age and grow into our (hopefully) better selves each day.
I am going through the same thing and my stylist did almost the same thing for me as far as the highlights. I have s dark hair as well and in my fifties.. the only thing he did was he covered the areas where the hair is next to my face where I part my hair. he said it would help me not feel the shock. He was totally for me going gray he said that I can always color it if I don’t like it. Good for you. Keep up the good work.
Green Beauty Trish, that’s what I did after 10 weeks of no color. I still have the streaks of gray but not close to my face. 😀😀.. looks much better. But I agree with you, I wish it was easier to do it and the transition smoother but I think it does take some work. 😊
I understand your friend who worry about her gray hair because she looking a new job and with during this gray out proces is difficult to get a good job. Unfortunately on Hungary is same problem. Anyway your hair looks beautiful. So your gray natural hair will fitting with you so much. Keep it up. 🤗❤👍
Hi Trish, I’m enjoying your channel. I would like to know what foundation you use because it looks so natural. I do not like to look like I’m wearing foundation.
Thank you so much! In most of my videos I am wearing the Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation. I have a recent GRWM using "youtuber faves" video where I use the Westman Atelier stick foundation. It's really amazing and gives a skin-like finish. Those are my two current faves.
It took me a minute to figure out what a skunk like steak is...but I think you meant streak! LOL. And yup, I'm at 7.5 months now and it's framing my face even more. I just did another update yesterday so you can see the progression :)
Your look amazing! Have you tried using color oops to remove any previous dye? I’m curious if this would work as I haven’t seen anyone that has tried it yet for this exact application. Thank you for sharing your experience!!
Hi Trish! Your hair is gorgeous no matter the color, so I'm sure it's going to look great. I'm also on that roller coaster of hating the stark contrast between my roots and the rest of my hair. Not to mention, last year my agent asked me to get new headshots and after that $400 investment, I can't afford to drastically change my look... yet. Haha, I used Sun In! It made my hair copper/red. Oh also, if you come across a more natural purple shampoo, I'd love to hear about it! xoxo Cheryl
Hi. I’m at two months now and curious about what my hair will look like. It seems like now grey hair is popular. Look at how many twenty year olds are purposefully dying their hair grey. I think it is about changing ideas of style and now is the time to go grey. I’m 65 and only considered doing this recently and for me it’s probably only because I see more grey haired women and the color often looks very pretty. There are women dying their hair colors that really are not even flattering on them so maybe natural is better if it’s styled well. I’m wondering how I’ll feel in the next few months!
I think it does have to do with liking how it's styled, and then I have to remind myself, that the same goes for no matter what my hair color is! I wish you luck if you decide to embark on the sliver journey! XOXO
Marky Bee just saw this message. I’m not great with messages, I don’t even know how this came up. My hair is shoulder length. I am letting it grey naturally so i will get used to the change slowly. I have about 1and a half inches at three and a half months.
I got my first grey at 17 and I am now 30 .The time I saw my hair without any color ,five years ago,I was 35% gray.I might do some subtle highlights but I think my sliver streaks look cool against my dark hair.The grow out is a massive pain though.
It is a pain, that's no lie! There's an Italian woman on IG who has jet black hair and has grown out her grays cold turkey. No highlights, no toner, and she looks amazing. If I can remember her name I will post it here later for inspo. :)
I’m 16 months into growing out my grey. I am (was) naturally fairly light as I’m half Norwegian, half German - but I dyed it red for years and so the dyed part has faded to a hideous orange, yuck. But I’ll get there,.
Christine Zhang I knew this comment was floating out there! For some reason it slipped through the cracks and I just now found it again today. Sorry about that!! In light of the pandemic and my video making taking a drop; I might not get to a jewelry video in the near future, but I will keep it in mind. 😊
Hard it on the other side, where it’s darker when you’re pulling it back for tennis… You’ve got it on the place where you got your white streak… That was certainly hide it, until it grows out a little more
I'm gonna be 50 too, and started with Carmel highlights. Got my Beautition Sister on board to start my transition. I got white like u too. Thought I was too young but don't care anymore, it's too much work and money
@@TrishV1 I'm ready to cut them off, I got 3 colors going. People complimented me though, next cut is to the gray. Nervous, curious and excited. It's terrible that we had to think we HAD to chase the gray.
@@prestontowne9768 I agree! I think I mentioned in my video that I didn't even think twice about it, I just started covering my grays. I'm hopeful that this new generation will at least feel they have choice in the matter, and can embrace their silvers if they want to!
@@TrishV1 yes that's how I feel, that people shouldn't have judgement, feel embarrassed be a new trend, because it's such a pain and not healthy for your hair, ect....
Hi Trish, I really like your hair. The highlights are so pretty! I wish I had thicker hair like you. Do you take any supplements to support hair growth or use certain hair products to help protect your hair? Thanks!
Thanks Colleen!! I have always had thick hair, but I have started to take prenatal vitamins that were recommended to me by Ally of Heart of Gold that she said she takes for hair growth. They are the Smarty Pants gummies Prenatal Formula and they are so good!
I just made the decision yesterday that I am going to go gray. I am on the same timeline as you with perhaps an extra month....I need to go back and see when I last colored, but I have a good inch of grow-out right now.
I love your gray! I don’t dye my hair and one hot gray, I actually like them. I have blk hair so it’s super noticeable. I’ve even influenced two ppl at work to grow out their grays. I’m going to leave this comment here but it’s not for you specifically. It’s that the word journey is so overused. It annoys me for some reason. Everything is a journey now, even going gray, eating certain foods, trying to wake up at 6 for a week, trying to stop drinking coffee, and other smaller life changes. It know it’s a word that became trendy to describe any experience. I just hope a couple other words start popping up in the vernacular so people can branch out and use another word.
I completely agree! I almost didn't want to use "journey" because it is so overused, but thinking upon it, it really does feel appropriate for this particular process. If a journey is "a long and often difficult process of personal change and development" then I would say this truly is a journey. Even after three months I can already see how this will be a process of change and development for me. It won't always be easy to put into words, but it will be transformative to a certain extent. But I hear you, there are buzzwords in our culture right now that seem to have lost their meaning like "journey," "resonate" "at the end of the day," "pop of color" LOL
Green Beauty Trish hahaha! Love the pop of color comment. Thanks got not taking that personally. After I wrote it I thought I should be writing this on another video where they actually overuse it.
You are beautiful inside and out Trish. When you talked about your single friend who is concerned about going gray due to ageism...whew, that hit me the same way it hit you, because that is my own fear! I’m 52 still looking for the love of my life AND just figuring out how I’m going to make a mark in this world - it scares the hell out of me to not be perceived as young and vibrant based solely on my hair color! I’m just shy of four months in, and I keep telling myself “It’s going to look very cool, like I have silver highlights.” I’m not going to deny, it’s a struggle emotionally. But I’m thrilled I came upon you in my search for “gray transition” inspiration. I’ve subscribed 🤗❤️
Michele Rosenblum Oh my goodness! When I loved your comment, I replied as well and for some reason; my comment didn’t post. YT is acting up for me and it’s annoying! Let’s give it another try shall we?
Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m so happy this video resonated with you. I totally get where you are coming from! I feel young and healthy and don’t want my hair color to define anything about me. But then why should it? It’s up to us to change that paradigm! But it is hard. And I’ve had some crap days for sure. But then I also had crap days when I was dying my hair where I felt not super cute or thought I looked “old” when I looked in the mirror. So it’s important to remember that too. It’s also helping to try to be neutral about my hair. Not hate it; and not love it. Just be with it. Kind of a nonjudgmental observer about what’s going on with it LOL.
Feel free to reach out over on IG if you need some support!!! 😘 XOXO
Yay you! After several years of thinking about it..,I finally ditched the dye and cut off the last of my dye at age 60 in December 2019. The growing out was rough...but I’m SO glad I hung in there. I wish I had done it sooner like you. Hang in there! It’s going to be gorgeous.
Congrats!! And thank you for the encouragement!!
I think your hair will look fantastic. It's also nice that your family is on board and that you have someone who's taking the journey too to share your experience with. You hit the nail on the head! It's not necessarily the grey hair....it's also the condition of your skin, how you dress, and your overall vibrance. Totally agree with you about the difference between women and men. So frustrating!
Thanks Tanya! And yeah, it is frustrating, can you imagine a support group for men going gray? But it's where we are at this point in time and I'm glad that at least the conversation is happening and women are questioning why we dye our roots, even if we make the conscious decision to do so.
This resonates in so many ways. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad that you found it helpful! I have a couple more gray updates if you're interested, and am planning another one in the new year as it truly is an ongoing journey and evolution. XOXO
Thanks so much for sharing your experience growing out your greys. I'm four months in and did pretty much the same as you describe in lightening your hair and using purple shampoo. I'm still basking in the freedom from covering my roots... just can't believe I waited till my mid-50's to do this. Also, regarding your comment about criticism of the choice to colour correct the dyed hair to ease the transition - I've noticed this too, with some ire; there's a doctrinaire attitude from some hardcore 'cold turkey' advocates... kind of like a virtue of some higher order to embrace the skunk line's potential for psychological and moral growth. Your hair looks great by the way, and I hope you make more videos of your grow out.
M Carmella Thank you so much for commenting! I honestly don’t understand that line of thinking, being critical of however a person chooses to grow out their gray. It’s such a personal decision and attitudes like that drive people away and make them feel inadequate. That’s why I’m staying on the fringes of it; and only follow a few gals that bring me silver inspo!
Hi Trish. Thank you for the video. This video appeared in my recommended feed, as I have been searching and watching “Going Gray” videos for the past 6-8 weeks or so. I am with you on the grey hair grow out. I’ve had a silver stripe since 16, and went totally grey around 35. I love my stylist and she does a wonderful job with my color but I have been wondering about all the chemicals. I hate the time commitment, and the itching/burning scalp...every 4 weeks. To add insult to injury, the gray begins to sparkle out often two weeks! I turned 50 in October, had surgery in December, so last root dye and all-over color touch up I had done was in late November 2019. With recovery-time backing into quarantine, I am rocking 4-inch silver roots. I have committed to stop the hair dye, my husband and friends are pretty supportive. With you on this journey. Good luck!!
So glad to have you here!! And I hope to do a followup video very soon:)
I hope your surgery and recovery went well. I'm glad you have supportive people around you for your grow out, it's not always easy, but it has been so worth it! Good luck to you too. XOXO
My mom used to dye her hair black for several years and later developed lymphoma. Of course it's not known for sure whether the hair dye caused it but there is that possibility. I am 61 and have reached the point of no return as well about hair coloring. It's only been 2 months for me but I am determined to stick this out. Rock on, my silver sister! Hope to see more updates on your progress . ☺
You just never know, so it's important to do what feels right for your health. I have a couple more gray update video that I've done since this one, that you might be interested in.
I've started adding some lowlights to break up the gray a bit, but no root coverage, so I feel better that the dye isn't touching my scalp.
I'm 67 and the 1st reason I'm stopping is because of the toxins..just done
I just passed the year mark and I LOVE it! You’re beautiful, you’re gonna look great!
Congrats on your year anniversary! That's amazing!! XOXO
Your hair looks great, Trish! I too have very dark hair and colored for a long time (thinking my grays were very obvious in contrast). I finally trimmed off the last of my colored hair last summer, and I will never go back! It was definitely a process for me, both internally and externally, but it totally changed my life. That sounds dramatic, but I really have grown in confidence and feel so much more free to be myself. I no longer feel ashamed to let myself be me- naturally and just the way I am. You are right- this isn't something men really have to think about. Gray haired men are considered "distinguished," but women with gray hair are accused of "letting themselves go." I am so excited for this movement where women ARE letting themselves go- go free of society's demands and letting themselves go free to be the beautiful ladies they already are. Best wishes on your journey! I'm rooting for you (and also hoping that I get a cool white streak right in front). As an aside- you mentioned purple shampoo. Do you know of/are you using a "green" option? I haven't been able to find any so far.
I don't think that sounds dramatic at all, I totally get you! And thanks for cheering me on, it means so much! XOXO
Someone else asked me about a "greener" option for the purple shampoo, and I got the Davines one, because that's what is at my salon. I know over the years I've heard that Davines touts itself as "natural" and sustainable. I'm not sure how accurate that really is, but maybe it's better than other brands? I honestly haven't looked into it that deeply. But in the long run I will only be using it maybe twice a month so I'm not too concerned about it.
@@TrishV1 They sell this brand at my salon too. I will check it out. Thanks!
I loved listening to your hair journey, Trish. You're always honest with your opinions and intentions. You hit on so many excellent points of discussion: how women are most critical of each other, having fun with self-expression or hair-expression, and ageism. Your note on cameras picking up on every little detail and that driving force of negative personal perception… I loved this video!! I can't wait to see how they grow in, and I would LOVE to see you with some pink toner!!!
Tender Forms Thank you Maggie! It’s interesting what becomes even more clear as you embark on a new path that takes you out of your comfort zone. Maybe you can help me pick out the pink toner when I get there! 🦄
Fab. You may see I went gray in my photo, but then 4yrs ago dyed it again. Silly I know, but I am starting the journey again at the age of 59. Great listening to you and I too remember Sun In in the 70 S. You look great x
It's not silly! I might do the same thing, you never know! It's day by day. Right now I am still plugging along and trying to embrace the silvers as they come :)
So, I'm about 10 years behind you, but I've started to notice the sparklers coming in more quickly. I have also started thinking more seriously about when and if I'm going to start coloring. And, you have certainly helped inspire me to just wait a little and see how It goes. It appears we have similar hair (color, length and texture) and I love your hair right now! I am hopeful my hair turns as beautifully as your hair is transitioning. And, I would love to have an update video every once in awile!
Greenish Beauty first off, I love your user name! That’s perfect! And let’s be in this together! One day at a time figuring it out....☺️👍🏼
I loved this video, Trish! I think your hair looks as beautiful now as it always has. I'm 64, and have just recently started to go gray and I'm not going to dye it. My hair is naturally a streaky blonde, so the color change doesn't feel major except that at times I think hmmm...that's kinda mouse-colored now! I've noticed that I want to wear more color than I used to - maybe that's why so many women turn to dying their hair red when they are going gray?
On a more serious note, I believe that it's important that we embrance aging. We are the elders and have the opportunity to fully own that and participate in society as such. We can't expect aging to be revered as it once was if we continue to demonstrate that we're terrified to exhibit any outward signs of its occurence. I think we have some responsibility in creating a new paradigm where every phase of life is respected and celebrated.
Holly D You said that so well Holly! We can create a new paradigm where we neither retreat into the background nor deny our aging. We can embrace it fully and healthfully and also not be ashamed at wanting to continue to be stylish and look our best, whatever that means for each of us. I am always inspired by the Advanced Style blog as it reminds me that age is truly just a number!!
www.advanced.style
@@TrishV1 Thank you, Trish! Oh yes, I love Advanced Style. That's Not My Age is another good blog that features older women - there's a podcast too but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.
@@holly939 I will have to check that out too! Thanks for the rec :)
Awww Trish, I just love your sweetness and personality. Your hair looks beautiful. 💗💗💗💗💗
Well thank you my dear :) And thanks too for your support! XOXO
Hey! Im new to your channel. I'm 34 and started my gray journey about 6 months ago. i'm only about 20% grey but I don't want to use chemicals on my hair anymore so I'm quitting the dye. most days i'm loving it. sometimes i'll see a photo and think i look much older but coming to terms with that not being such a bad thing.
also love your earrings!
StinaSpace Thank you for watching! I’m so glad you’re here 😊 I know how you feel, it’s odd and a little discomforting to see photos or videos with the new gray. But like you said, you get more used to it as time goes on and it just is what it is.
I’m pretty sure the earrings are from Twist in Portland. If I can remember the designer’s name I will come back and let you know!
@@TrishV1 you actually made a really god point about some days waking up and feeling old but remembering you also had those feeling before you were gray. that's what itell myself if I see a photo taken that I don't like of myself. i def didn't like all the photos of myself before I stopped colouring my hair. lighting angles skin also play a huge part.
@@stinaspace728 Yes, exactly! There are photos of myself all through my life that I didn't like. That's just the way it goes. I will like some of them with my gray hair, and some...not so much!
StinaSpace Hey Stina! Just wanted to let you know, that I am on the same path... I am 35 right now, with a platinum blonde pixie... and I am sooo over the bleaching and the short hair as well... so I am letting this mess grow out as well, it‘s my 3rd month now and even though this break (natural hair - platinum blonde) is visible, I don‘t even want to get highlights anymore to soften it, because the greys are doing pretty much the same job!😂 I also don‘t have a head full of grey hair... so I am very excited about how it’ll look once all the damaged hair has grown out and it’s just me and my hair with all the natural grey highlights.🤪 Good luck to you on your journey!🤗🍀
Maria H I love how you put that, “just me and my hair” ☺️
Your hair looks beautiful Trish ! Love the color when you tied it back. So pretty with your complexion. Flaunt your crown of silver !!! ox
I love that you are talking about and owning your process.
I’ve been greying for 20 years. I love it but... the last few years, diminishment of facial pigment really flipped me out. I think I used to assume that people played w dying hair from an aesthetic POV. Now, I believe it’s more about identity-remaining more in line w how we see self. Hmm
Flaunt it I shall! XOXO
@@galdjlajfaljaljdfladjfla3205 It really is a complicated topic. Hair sometimes isn't just hair is it? And it's hard to let go of how we have seen ourselves for so many years.
For some reason I am just now seeing this comment. You are so right! It is difficult to get used to seeing myself with a whole new hair color. I’m trying to be neutral about the adjustment. Not hating it and not trying to force myself to love it. Just be with it.
With your beautiful face any hair color will look great. I'm on the same journey, I'll be working from home so no better time than the present!
You are far too kind! And yep....no better time than right now!
Oh my gosh! I remember Sun-In. Terrible for the hair, but so much fun when you are 13/14. I've done all the Run Lola Run fire-engine red, purple, blue, eggplant hair colors and finally let my grey grow about 10 years ago. Looks great and I like it, but def had some blowback when I originally let it out. Now everyone loves it...except for prospective employers. That's a whole other Oprah though. I am thinking of putting some silver/purple toners/rinses through it to tone down some of it for job interviews coming up and found an amazing natural hair colorist in LA. Wish me luck!
Yeah for someone who remembers Sun-in!! I'm sure that stuff was awful! Good luck at your next appointment! I'm sure there are amazing colorists in LA, let me know how it goes! XOXO
I'm just over 20 months! I don't think about it (in a negative, grow-out way) much anymore! But I've still got a ways to go. You have great hair!
I try not to ruminate on it, or spend too much time looking in the mirror, LOL!
I think already it looks really classy on you!
You are so kind, thank you!! xo
I have been gray since I was in high school. I stopped coloring my hair 15 years ago at the age of 41. My hair is totally silver and gray. I get tons of compliments on my hair. I have had to change what color clothing I wear and my make up to give my body and face some color and I look great per what friends and strangers say.
That is awesome! I love that you are letting you silvers shine and I'm sure you do look great!!
I'm a Sun-In survivor too! 😂 Just started my process (7 weeks since last color, 3 months since last highlights). Looking forward to saving $$ & seeing what my grey pattern will be!
theotherkangaroo keep me posted and enjoy the savings!! 😊👍🏼
Thank you for speaking about the self criticism. I don’t know any women that truly feel good about themselves and that is a real societal problem. Letting our hair be natural seems like it shouldn’t be a big deal but it is. What a waste of time and energy. It is better for the environment in so many ways. And who knows what the chemicals do to our body. I am single and I have worried about dating while my hair is growing out. In my gut I know what is right. I’ve tried a few times and gotten to about 6 months and then I cave. Hopefully this time I won’t.
Just be easy on yourself....it truly is a journey and a process unique to each one of us. Not sure if you saw this gray update of mine: ruclips.net/video/iW2eNEi5-bY/видео.html
but I talk about finding a good balance of letting my grays grow, but also playing with highlights and lowlights and it's really working out well. I only go to the salon every 3-6 months now and it feels so much better on every level for me!
I love that you're doing this, and how you're doing it. I have talked with my colorist, and she recommended the same technique of highlighting. Your hair looks great! It's exciting, and I'm about ready to take the same path at 56 :) I'm willing to bet our hair will be healther for it.
Lisa G I’m trying to focus on the excitement as much as I can rather than the unknown and worry. I think highlights are a good way to go for those of us not wanting to go “cold turkey”. Keep me posted and I shall do the same! 😘
I just started the process since the social distancing and lockdown so about 2 months into the going gray process plus I’m doing the curly girl stuff too! Hopefully I will keep it going...I’m tired of frying my hair at 425 in order to straighten it. You look great!
Thank you and good luck! ♥️♥️
I'm three months behind you on this gray thing, and I totally agree with you on the ageism and sexism.
Good luck!! XOXO
Just found this video and I have to say a big THANK YOU ❤️! I just turned 46 and I've been toying with the idea of going gray for a while now. Everything you said I have also thought - the annoyance of having to touch up my roots every two weeks, the expense, the time, the exposure to hazardous chemicals, the fact that women even have to worry about this and men typically do not - all of that has been on my mind lately.
And then I watched your video and I just felt so relieved that there's other women out the thinking the same things. So thank you!
Also, thanks for the suggestion about highlights. My hair looks really similar to yours in terms of color and length, so now I know what my hair will look like. I have a hairdresser appointment coming up and now I know what to tell my stylist to do! You are beautiful - keep going and keep us updated!
Grab Mane I am really overwhelmed with gratitude that you took the time to write such a thoughtful comment. Thank you!! It means so much to me that you have connected with my experience which of course is the experience of so many of us out there!! I am touched and humbled that it helped you. ☺️
I am hoping to get another video out in the coming weeks for another update on my gray journey. There are good days and bad days to be sure, but I’m sticking with it!! I’m cheering you on and feel free to reach out over on IG as I’m over there all the time and not as much here on YT with this current situation. XOXO
@@TrishV1 looking forward to any of your upcoming videos on going gray - I just subscribed to your channel so I'll get notified of updates. Loving all the green beauty products (another thing I've been meaning to look into - and so much information is here!) I'll be sure to look for you on Instagram too. 😁 thank you!
I’m in my early 40s with similar brown hair to yours - I’ve never colored it (lazy and cheap). my stylist says I have virgin hair.. My grays have been coming in since my early 30s I think and I have just let them come in naturally. I get compliments all the time on my hair. I live in LA, home of the dyed head and people stop me almost daily to compliment my hair. As the grays have come in and grown out they’ve started to look like highlights. I personally think that gray hair is sexy on men and women and feel empowered by my natural crown.
I did start using purple shampoo every week or two to take any dull brassy tone out and make the gray look more silver - it works well! Do you have a recommendation on less toxic options for blue/purple shampoos?
Stay committed to the process, you will be so happy in the end!!
Well here's to lazy and cheap! LOL! Way to embrace you natural hair color and to be a role model for others in your area who might have never even thought of that as an option. As for the purple shampoo, I got the Davines one, because that's what is at my salon. I know over the years I've heard that Davines touts itself as "natural" and sustainable. I'm not sure how accurate that really is, but maybe it's better than other brands? I honestly haven't looked into it that deeply. But in the long run I will only be using it maybe twice a month so I'm not too concerned about it.
Your skin is looking amazing, and your hair looks great, too!
Thank you so much!!
I started the same time as you! Can't wait to see how it goes. My hair is darker than my profile pic. I have about 3 inches from roots silver. Your hair looks very thick and so is mine. Hoping it only takes a year. Keep posting please! 😁
It makes me so happy to hear from others that they are on the same "gray journey!" I will definitely keep up with the updates and yep...the grays are coming on strong! LOL
Wear it with pride. I haven’t colored my hair since 2008. And it was semi permanent. I’m just 43 and have streaks in my hair. Their is times some will look at those white hairs standing on end. Especially since mine are growing on. I have many younger woman ask who my colorist is... it’s natural. Society makes us chase our youth, and never supports growing old gracefully. Supporting our crones stage. Our solidarity of been there and doing that... come now. We are not the woman of their 50’s back in the 70’s and 80’s. Getting perms and pink or blue rinse on our short tight granny haircuts. Who knows.. but I doubt you’re one of them!
It’s okay to age!!! We age! I want to support my aging. I’m okay with lines. My lips... my badges of laughter and bags of sodium... haha. Have we not earned our beauty... why should grey hair be coined old. I see it as wisdom. I see it as beauty. I don’t want to be that nip and tuck woman. I want to grow old and be human. Isn’t that life... I’m closer to 50 than 20... I don’t want to carry the hair I’ve had all my life when it’s changing on its own. It’s white... white... so I can’t wait to play with deep silver.
Every year I get new stripes. It’s so exciting to me. I love it!!!!
We are so much more fashionable and put together than the ladies of the late 20th century.
Cheers to that! Bags of sodium...LOL. I love that and will have to use that one in the future! I wholeheartedly agree and am down with your sentiment on aging. It's truly a privilege to age and grow into our (hopefully) better selves each day.
I am going through the same thing and my stylist did almost the same thing for me as far as the highlights. I have s dark hair as well and in my fifties.. the only thing he did was he covered the areas where the hair is next to my face where I part my hair. he said it would help me not feel the shock. He was totally for me going gray he said that I can always color it if I don’t like it.
Good for you. Keep up the good work.
I like the plan! It feels very doable don't you think?
Green Beauty Trish, that’s what I did after 10 weeks of no color. I still have the streaks of gray but not close to my face. 😀😀.. looks much better. But I agree with you, I wish it was easier to do it and the transition smoother but I think it does take some work. 😊
I understand your friend who worry about her gray hair because she looking a new job and with during this gray out proces is difficult to get a good job. Unfortunately on Hungary is same problem. Anyway your hair looks beautiful. So your gray natural hair will fitting with you so much. Keep it up. 🤗❤👍
I totally understand her worries too, it just makes me sad :(
Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm still hanging in there!
Oh wow we are at the same exact time it was October 15th for me so I get to compare and contrast on both our rides with this
That's so cool! I love it! And yes, the more support the better :)
Hi Trish, I’m enjoying your channel. I would like to know what foundation you use because it looks so natural. I do not like to look like I’m wearing foundation.
Thank you so much! In most of my videos I am wearing the Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation. I have a recent GRWM using "youtuber faves" video where I use the Westman Atelier stick foundation. It's really amazing and gives a skin-like finish. Those are my two current faves.
I have went 4 months too , without coloring my hair . My gray is coming in , like yours, around framing my face ,instead of a skunk-like steak .
It took me a minute to figure out what a skunk like steak is...but I think you meant streak! LOL. And yup, I'm at 7.5 months now and it's framing my face even more. I just did another update yesterday so you can see the progression :)
Mother nature knows best in my opinion... You look gorgeous.
Thank you my dear :)
Your look amazing! Have you tried using color oops to remove any previous dye? I’m curious if this would work as I haven’t seen anyone that has tried it yet for this exact application. Thank you for sharing your experience!!
I never have tried that. Honestly, I didn't even know that existed!
(and thanks for the sweet compliment XOXO)
50, are you serious you look so much younger, I'll have to watch more of your videos lol, this is the first of your videos I am watching now.👍🙂
Oh thank you! So glad you're here 😚
Anxiety is a GOOD word for it..
Hi Trish! Your hair is gorgeous no matter the color, so I'm sure it's going to look great. I'm also on that roller coaster of hating the stark contrast between my roots and the rest of my hair. Not to mention, last year my agent asked me to get new headshots and after that $400 investment, I can't afford to drastically change my look... yet. Haha, I used Sun In! It made my hair copper/red. Oh also, if you come across a more natural purple shampoo, I'd love to hear about it! xoxo Cheryl
Thank you Cheryl! Wow! Headshot and an agent, that's so cool, what other work do you do?
@@TrishV1 I'm an actor - used to live in NYC where I did theatre and soaps. Since moving back to Cali I mostly go on TV and commercial auditions.
Free Range Diva That’s so cool! I had no idea!
Hi. I’m at two months now and curious about what my hair will look like. It seems like now grey hair is popular. Look at how many twenty year olds are purposefully dying their hair grey. I think it is about changing ideas of style and now is the time to go grey. I’m 65 and only considered doing this recently and for me it’s probably only because I see more grey haired women and the color often looks very pretty. There are women dying their hair colors that really are not even flattering on them so maybe natural is better if it’s styled well. I’m wondering how I’ll feel in the next few months!
I think it does have to do with liking how it's styled, and then I have to remind myself, that the same goes for no matter what my hair color is! I wish you luck if you decide to embark on the sliver journey! XOXO
Do you have long hair Michelle
Marky Bee just saw this message. I’m not great with messages, I don’t even know how this came up. My hair is shoulder length. I am letting it grey naturally so i will get used to the change slowly. I have about 1and a half inches at three and a half months.
I got my first grey at 17 and I am now 30 .The time I saw my hair without any color ,five years ago,I was 35% gray.I might do some subtle highlights but I think my sliver streaks look cool against my dark hair.The grow out is a massive pain though.
It is a pain, that's no lie! There's an Italian woman on IG who has jet black hair and has grown out her grays cold turkey. No highlights, no toner, and she looks amazing. If I can remember her name I will post it here later for inspo. :)
Your hair is georgous gonna look good on u. I look at Women on pinterest too..
I’m 16 months into growing out my grey. I am (was) naturally fairly light as I’m half Norwegian, half German - but I dyed it red for years and so the dyed part has faded to a hideous orange, yuck. But I’ll get there,.
MsDeMandeville It does take a long time doesn’t it? I’m at the 5.5 month mark and trying not to get too frustrated 🙈
Thanks for this video!
This is kind of unrelated but would you consider doing a jewelry collection video? (:
Christine Zhang I knew this comment was floating out there! For some reason it slipped through the cracks and I just now found it again today. Sorry about that!! In light of the pandemic and my video making taking a drop; I might not get to a jewelry video in the near future, but I will keep it in mind. 😊
Hard it on the other side, where it’s darker when you’re pulling it back for tennis… You’ve got it on the place where you got your white streak… That was certainly hide it, until it grows out a little more
Part it not hard it lol
I'm gonna be 50 too, and started with Carmel highlights. Got my Beautition Sister on board to start my transition. I got white like u too. Thought I was too young but don't care anymore, it's too much work and money
I hear you on the work and money!! And time!!
Good for u, I started too, gonna be 50. It's all just a pain and not good for you, dries it out and expensive. My Sister put highlights in mine too.
It is a pain isn't it?? Hope you're enjoying the highlights and I wish you good luck on this journey! :)
@@TrishV1 I'm ready to cut them off, I got 3 colors going. People complimented me though, next cut is to the gray. Nervous, curious and excited. It's terrible that we had to think we HAD to chase the gray.
@@prestontowne9768 I agree! I think I mentioned in my video that I didn't even think twice about it, I just started covering my grays. I'm hopeful that this new generation will at least feel they have choice in the matter, and can embrace their silvers if they want to!
@@TrishV1 yes that's how I feel, that people shouldn't have judgement, feel embarrassed be a new trend, because it's such a pain and not healthy for your hair, ect....
Hi Trish, I really like your hair. The highlights are so pretty! I wish I had thicker hair like you. Do you take any supplements to support hair growth or use certain hair products to help protect your hair? Thanks!
Thanks Colleen!! I have always had thick hair, but I have started to take prenatal vitamins that were recommended to me by Ally of Heart of Gold that she said she takes for hair growth. They are the Smarty Pants gummies Prenatal Formula and they are so good!
I just made the decision yesterday that I am going to go gray. I am on the same timeline as you with perhaps an extra month....I need to go back and see when I last colored, but I have a good inch of grow-out right now.
We can be in this together!! XOXO
Important message was when you said you had bad days looking at yourself when your hair was dyed too..exactly..
Right?! Glad that resonated with you :)
My hair is going Grey. Noticeably. I am embracing it. It is me.
So happy for you that you are embracing your grays! XOXO
I’m 2 months grey
Wishing you luck!!
I love your gray! I don’t dye my hair and one hot gray, I actually like them. I have blk hair so it’s super noticeable. I’ve even influenced two ppl at work to grow out their grays.
I’m going to leave this comment here but it’s not for you specifically. It’s that the word journey is so overused. It annoys me for some reason. Everything is a journey now, even going gray, eating certain foods, trying to wake up at 6 for a week, trying to stop drinking coffee, and other smaller life changes. It know it’s a word that became trendy to describe any experience. I just hope a couple other words start popping up in the vernacular so people can branch out and use another word.
I completely agree! I almost didn't want to use "journey" because it is so overused, but thinking upon it, it really does feel appropriate for this particular process. If a journey is "a long and often difficult process of personal change and development" then I would say this truly is a journey. Even after three months I can already see how this will be a process of change and development for me. It won't always be easy to put into words, but it will be transformative to a certain extent. But I hear you, there are buzzwords in our culture right now that seem to have lost their meaning like "journey," "resonate" "at the end of the day," "pop of color" LOL
Green Beauty Trish hahaha! Love the pop of color comment. Thanks got not taking that personally. After I wrote it I thought I should be writing this on another video where they actually overuse it.
Ruby Rayne OMG! I totally get it. And I don’t know why “pop of color” in particular is like nails on a chalkboard to me. 😬🙈
HI ARE YOU STILL GRAY TODAY ? 5-15-2020 :) connie AKA OVER70stillglamorous":)
I sure am! No root touch ups since 10/15/19 :)
I hope to do an update very soon, just waiting for the right moment when I have the house to myself!
