I watched an interview with a famous hairdresser about going gray. He said for some women it was as difficult as coloring. Fighting the frizz, less body, needing lowlights, extra conditioning , purple shampoo, etc. His guideline was if one has very pale, blue-veined skin, light eye color, pale to non-existent brows and thin hair it will be aging. If one has dark eyes and brows, skin that tans easily and thick hair it can be flattering with proper care, but not youthful. Bottom line - have the hair that makes you happy.
That's great advice!
I agree. It’s like makeup ……we use it to help us look good….for me…same goes with hair color…it’s really makeup for hair? I personally will highlight/color until I can’t go anymore. JMO.
P.S. How is Biscuit?
@@elainesimmons3450 I agree! Well put!!
Blue veins are cool toned skin, greeny veins warm toned. Many shades of blonde, a more platinum or silver grey is cool, golds are warm. Bit of blusher in the right sade works wonders. x
I read something similar. It made me put off going gray. I am so glad I read that. Because the reason I was even thinking of going gray was because I thought it would make life so wonderful. But there are almost more items to use to maintain the gray. Then my routine calls for.
Patty, you are 80 and amazing. You do whatever You want with your hair color! 😊
Love that I grew my hair out. Was very tired of keeping it colored. No regrets.
I'm on tear two of growing mine out and just can't get used to the colour. It's so dark for my complexion. It's also thinner than ever 😢
Same, no regrets
Same I wanted mine completely white. I had mine bleached out white but it did damage my hair but it was white. Now my natural hair is completely white and I don’t have to die it anymore, but now it’s thinning. 😩

Not me,I color my hair Burgundy every month .I just look washed out And I am 75 and 30 in my head❤
I am in the same boat, Patty. About six months ago I decided to let my hair grow out and as a prematurely grey woman who has had grey hair since 30, I have been fighting it for many decades. I am 76. But, the more it grew, the whiter it got, so with the ends still showing remnants of hair color, I have given up. Every time I look in the mirror, I can't believe how old I look. So, i have given in and will be getting low lights and hi lights next week. Like you, I need dimension. So, wish me luck. And, good luck to you!
Nope, no gray for me, Patty 😂!
I'm 78yrs and tried to go gray, but it made me look much older.
I'm born and raised in New Orleans and boxed colored my hair.
After finally asking many ladies my age where they had their hair colored, I got Loreal # 8 1/2 blonde and did my own color.
Finally I found a nice hair stylist that does low lights and highlights.
I am thrilled!!! I am now a medium blonde with highlights! The foil bleached low lights extend into the gray areas so when any gray starts to show, it looks like extra light blonde vs gray roots!!!
I get so many compliments and my husband and adult kiddos love my new fashionable hair!!!
I have an idea you'd like to do something similar.
I have lots of body in my hair! As you mentioned, my hair was FLAT!!!
I'm wishing you the best and thanking you for all the wonderful things you have guided me through!!
God Bless You 🙏🏼 ❤ Linda from New Orleans
I had not colored my hair for 3 years and decided to put it really light blond again. It was just too much upkeep for me. Now I'm growing it out gray again and I'm loving it. I have also started spraying my setting spray on a sponge instead of spraying my face. I think my makeup stays looking good longer. Your hair has always been so beautiful. I don't know if you remember me, but you were the first video I watched and it was around the time just before my husband passed away from Alzheimer's. When I would be so beside myself with grief I would watch you. Now I have a channel because of you.❤❤❤😊😊
You are right, sometimes we watch these shows to help our mental health, when life really is so dark, and we are deeply sad, we can step into another world for a few minutes, and life seems almost tolerable. 🇦🇺
I’ve always had my hair highlighted and it gives my hair body too. I like your hair highlighted best. ( just saying) Kindness, Teresa
Yes HIGHLIGHTS give BODY to the hair and I do my own using Loreal Frosting H85 Champagne AND THE BEST use Oribe Gold Lust Oil it is BEAUTIFUL on hair with a small amount giving hair a
gold look plus condition absolutely BEAUTIFUL product❣️Its pricey and will last forever HONEST because a size of a penny is all you need❣️Thats a real beauty secret❣️God Bless❣️😘
You’re so very lucky to still have so much hair! It’s beautiful! 😊 I got alopecia about 6 years ago and I’m almost bald now. I’m 69 years but like a lot of people still feel mentally in my 20’s! Which is great! I wish I had my hair back, but it’s not going to happen, ( you never know though) instead at the moment I am wearing my wigs, which do look nice. So, please don’t get down about the colours of your hair, but enjoy still having lots of it. 😊❤ xxxxx
Hi Lorraine, how's your day going with you?
Oh no! I’m 67 and I’m like you, my hair is falling out like nobody’s business! WTH! I can’t cut it because it’s frizzly and curly. Imagine that? Now I have frizzy, fuzzy, curly and huge balding everywhere! I even starting taking hair supplements. No help. You say you have alopecia? What on earth? Does anyone know of a solution? This is so depressing😢
You can get partial (blonde) highlights and the colorist can throw in some (dark blonde) LOWlights at the same time. Every 3 months or so for me😊
Amen❣️
Don't go gray Pattie! You will not be happy. On young people gray looks good but on women our age it really makes us look even older! I went platinum white and loved it. It brighten up my face and then I decided I'd just let my hair grow out and go with my natural gray. Well all I can say is the more it grew out the older and more tired I looked! Every line and wrinkle and circles under my eyes just magnified! So I told my husband I cant stand this anymore and I bit the bullet and lightened it again to platinum. I did it myself. When I finished and my husband saw it he said wow honey you look so beautiful. You look younger. It really brightens up your skin. So I'm staying with platinum. I get lots of positive compliments. Everyone loves this color. Also I had long hair. I cut it myself to just above my shoulders. Looks much thicker now too. Not such a drag on my face. Pattie please dont do any of those color grays you showed. It will age you. You wont like it! Go platinum! You will love how it brighten your skin and makes you look younger.
I gave up spending so much time & money on my hair 2 years ago. I just wear wigs now. Five minute hair-do and it looks perfect every time.
Could you please recommend which wig you prefer the most ? I have hair loss and would love to get a wig, just don't know where to start !
Patty, I do have BK Beauty brushes before I became aware they are made in China. I am a huge proponent of buying USA made products if at all possible. I know the brush design is great but I wish Lisa and Angie would find an American manufacturer. America needs all the support she can get. Still so fond of you Patty. ❤
Hi Beth, how's your day going with you?
I ended up coloring my own because I'm not up to paying the cost lately. My grey was blonde anyway so blonde it was. Not to make me look younger, but to have my hair look more presentable. Yes...coloring gives my fine hair body! We are not supposed to wash every day...even thoughi sometimes do.
I heard recently that sitting all day is equivalent to being a smoker, with the harm it does to our heart.
Hi Patty i am 68 and grew my hair out it was a beautiful white colour but it made me looked washed out so i reverted back to my blonde colour i don't regret it at all,get a beautiful blonde colour have it trimmed and get some beach wave curls and wear it down, you have gorgeous thick hair( mine is baby fine hate it) why not go for a whole new look a change is as good as a rest,love your videos thank you for sharing, love from Elaine.x u.k.
I'm joining the chorus when I say just let the hair grow out! I had not seen my natural hair color in over 50 years when I saw the white roots. I was shocked! My hair was a dark brown and like you, I've frosted, streaked and colored my hair to a color very much like your ends are now. It is a hard habit to break but I just asked my regular stylist what to do. She used a shampoo in silver/white concoction and sent me home with a bottle. It takes a while but oh my, I absolutely love it! I have more body, more hair and a little more money but the dry ends and frizzies are gone! It's so much easier and it looks much better. You are at that hard stage. "Do I stay or do I go?" I don't believe you'll regret it! Get some professional help to get over this growing out stage and you'll never look back! Good luck with all your guests and just enjoy them!
Same with me ! I had never been able to achieve the look I wanted with dye then during Covid it grew out and voila !!! My own colour was just what I was looking for 😃
Pull that dry blond over your head and decide if you want that again.I think you’ll agree to let the white grow and start to get the ends clipped every few weeks .You have no idea how clean and healthy your hair can be til once you get that off.I use a purple shampoo mixed with white and am very happy with all the compliments.
I always say "go with your gut" if you want to try hair coloring again,do it,you don't have to listen to any of us. A good salon can do wonders sometimes...I'll just say this it takes an experienced stylist with aging hair,ask around in your community. Sounds like the holidays are coming early for you with all the company,have a wonderful time!😊🍁🍂🍃🎃🥂
Hi Patti, you have gorgeous hair and whatever you chose to do it will be stunning, just like you. xx
I like the blonde. Actually the more depth you get in color the more natural it looks so maybe you could just keep the lightest on top and around your face.
I think going natural is great. I support it...I tried and failed. Gray is a color and it washed me out! I wanted to transition but truth be told didn't work for me. I might be blonde indefinitely. I really think it's a individual decision. I so support everyone embracing nature. I just couldn't, not yet.
Yes I agree but there is a reason for that because red is the first color molecule we lose and if you look at a child highlights you will see warm colors and as we age our color looks more like asphalt and has no warmth. This is something I have had to explain to my clients for years and when I explain it this way they get it. If you have a cool skin undertone which is a pink undertone you can go pure white, for us with a neutral or yellow base we need a hint of warmth. There is very simple tricks that are still low maintenance. I myself am pure white in the front and salt and pepper in the back and there is nothing attractive about the it. So it is the one thing I won’t go without in a month. I have made hair kits for my clients so they can do it themselves and all of you can do the same.
I grew mine out for almost two years and was disappointed that it wasn’t more white, light silver. After dreaming about coloring a bit, I have been back to coloring blonde and I am happy with it for now.
I let mine grow off over a couple of yrs. I used Loreal dark blond color spray to cover my sparkling white roots all the way through the process.
I made the semi-reluctant decision to go white because my natural color had lost the variation in shades that allowed me to easily have a two-toned effect, especially around my face. There were no natural dark blond streaks left to give me the variation in shades of blond without having a two step color process that was twice the time investment of what we'd been doing for a decade. My hairdresser and I being of the same vintage remembered a process we studied in cosmetology school called lifting with color. It's much less harsh than using bleach to highlight, but only works for natural colors no darker than "dishwater". If ya know, ya know!
To top it off my 35 yr hairdresser decided to retire when we heard rumors more waves of virus were likely. She'd worked straight through the first two waves, because her shop was in her side yard and all her clients were careful. She disinfected the one-room salon between each client. I went once a month for color, but would not have gone into a regular salon.
I had a 10 year backup hairdresser picked out, but when I tried to make contact with her post pandemic she'd disappeared.
I finally cut off the last of my blond ponytail at the beginning of summer 2023. Figured I'd wear a ball cap if my hair was too difficult to put up off my neck during the dog days of summer.
I'm almost back where I need to be with length, but I'm not sold on the color. My scalp is white, my bangs and front hair back to the crown is flat white, it's not at all interesting. I'm an experienced hairdresser and instructor myself. I know trying to achieve the tonal effect I desire would be a constant challenge, since we always want our color refreshed long before the previous color treatment has grown off.
I know there are color experts out there that can offer what I want, but I probably don't want to get on a plane to Dallas (45 min flt) to go for a color job every six weeks. I'll try this dull white look for another year to see if I can find a haircut or color rinse that looks more lively. The violet shampoos dont work for me. I've never considered having short hair since my mid 40s, but I need some movement and without color the only way to achieve that is curls. I may try a wig this winter to see if I can find a look that helps me feel better about natural white hair.
Patti you are such an inspiration! You are very blessed to be in such good health!
Patti I love you videos. You were the reason I decided to grow my hair. It was getting difficult finding the money to keep going to the hairdresser all the time to get my hair cut and when I saw your hair I decided to let it grow. I’ve always wanted long hair so went from very short to now past my shoulders and I absolutely love it. I too have a mix or white, grey and blonde hair but I continue to dye it myself. It takes time and my arms get tired but I still can’t give up the very light blonde. Guess at 74yrs I’m still not ready to go natural. So thank you for giving me the courage to grow my hair long rather than fit in with the ‘older women should wear short hair’ dictates. You are such an inspiration and joy to watch. Love your personality, your beauty on the inside and out, and your zest for life. 😊💕
Thank you for sharing Mel Robbins interview. I’m a new subscriber and have been binge-watching your videos. I am 70 and really enjoy your content. Keep them coming! ❤
Patti you are a true inspiration to all us 70 and over gals! I’m 72 and went gray about 1 1/2 yrs ago, no regrets. My suggestion to you would be get a good haircut and keep it trimmed about every 5-6 weeks. My hairdresser put low lights in my hair while I was going through the transition, it helped with the variations of the color in my hair. Now I’m all gray and getting lots of compliments. Good luck with your transition 🤗
I love Mel Robbins… and you!! Always lovely, wise and makeup knowledgeable! Happy New Year!
There are no words I know to express my gratitude for the precious videos you post. We're not that far apart in age. I never had a 'big Sister' until now. 🎉
When I decided to grow out my grey it seemed like it took forever! When mine got to where yours looks to be, I took a deep breathe and went for a stacked bob. Love it! Looks modern and easy to take care of.
You're hair looks beautiful Blond look at some of your older videos and see how young and beautiful you look with the blond hair
I just had my hair done too! It was just like yours, 2/3 gray and 1/3 blond on the ends. I had “high lights and low lights put in. The stylist showed me a large book of hair color swatches and suggested 2 colors to blend into my hair. I’m so pleased with it!
What I like about you the most is you’re down to earth and honest! I’m 76 and have had salt and pepper hair since I was in my late 20’s. The only time I left it natural was for 10 years when I was married. So most of my life it has been dyed blonde! (I was naturally blonde when I was very little) I stopped dying my hair about 18 months ago. It is long and naturally wavy and frizzy somewhat. It’s coming in salt and pepper and light gray! I can relate! I’m wearing it up mostly with pretty clips but I’m to the point where I would like it shorter too! I don’t miss coloring my hair but it’s feels so different to know it’s coming in a different color! I guess we will all find the perfect answer for ourselves! Changes! Enjoyed your video! Your eyes sparkle! It shows you love life and are kind!❤🙏🌸🦋
Hi There, just wanted to say, I love your attitude. It makes me smile, as I sit here dealing with the brutal passage of time and its effects on our bodies, not ever pretty. I am 67 and dealing with the ugliest crapey skin on my arms. I underwent chemo and radiation a few years back, it is my understanding that these along with the steroid use, have a devastating effect on skin! Very depressing. It brings me comfort that I am not the only one feeling these awful, sad feelings about the myriad effects of aging on the body. I sometimes feel too obsessed with my looks. But, what brings me comfort, is the knowledge that we all want to look good, no matter our ages. So, thank you for this, your brevity, kindness, sweetness, etc!
Liked blonde highlights in your hair.
The gray hair transition is a challenge, but fortunately I did mine during the covid pandemic and it was a lot easier then. I went from a dark brunette to a beautiful silver. I grew it out for about 6 months and was sick of seeing the extreme color demarcation line between the two colors so my stylist cut it into a cute short bob. I still had some dark color on the ends so she bleached them out and put a color on just the ends that matched my natural silver hair. I love it and get more compliments on my hair than I ever did. Hang in there and don't give up. Enjoy all your company. I enjoy your videos so much and you sure look amazing for 80!
One tip about growing out your hair is to get your hair trimmed as short as you can while still keeping the style you like. Then, every 6 to 8 weeks, get it trimmed. You will be surprised how quickly you hair seems to get to its natural color.
As for color, my hair started turning when I was in 6th grade. By 15, had an inch wide white streak in the front. By 40, the front was 40% white. At 65, I was fed up with going to the salon every 3 weeks to get the roots touched up. I decided to go natural. Totally snow white. I have put temporary purple color in, but it stained my hair and I had to go through another grow out. Now I’m just all white. I constantly have strangers stop me in stores to tell me how beautiful the color is.
If you decide to color your hair, make sure it washes out completely and won’t stain your hair, because if you don’t like it, you may have to deal with grow out all over again. Advice: grow out to the natural color and live with it at least a few weeks before you make any decisions about color. You might be surprised especially when you are no longer a slave to the hair dye routine.
When I decided to stop coloring my hair after 40+ years of highlighting and coloring, my colorist put in highlights and lowlights to help with the transition. It worked beautifully. I never had that real line of distinction. And now that it is grown out, which by the way took about 10 months, still has its own natural definition. I say go for it! You will love it.
I grew out my gray during the lockdowns and love it! I got through the transition with headbands and scarves and kept it long. Finding someone who can do what Jack Martin (the man whose photos you showed) does is difficult and if it's not done correctly, you can end up ruining your hair. Try to just be patient. You've actually gotten through the awkward stage. Good luck.
I’m 75: been gray the last 8 yrs. I had it cut: let the gray/white grow. Get many compliments on my hair. Try a new hair style: that gives a new slant on hair color.
Hi Sidner, how's your day going with you?
Patti - When I was new in town, I had the same problem. What I did was look for a really good salon, and I called them and asked them who is their stylist that is the very best with color. I scheduled an appointment with her - and, 20 years later, she STILL is the best stylist I have ever had! Good luck! 👍🙋♀️🥰‼️
I just went back and looked at some of your videos from 5 years ago. Blonde is your color! Whatever you decide, you will remain beautiful 😍
Patti, love your channel. You are amazing and such an inspiration. ❤️
My suggestion would be highlights and lowlights of blonde, ash blonde, and maybe some of the Grey. You're very fair skinned - so am I. I found the lighter I go, the more washed out I look. Also, if you want to transition to Grey, its a gentler way to do it.
I decided a few years ago to go grey. I’ve never like the look of half grown out grey hair so I bought a wig. I can’t believe how much I loved it. It was so much fun going to a wig shop with my friend and sisters. Give it a try!
I love your natural hair color/gray. I quit coloring my hair over a year ago now. I have a pixie & love it. I did recently get high & low lights so I don't look so washed out. It also gave me more body. I doubt I'll ever go back to coloring as the dye would be washed out within 3 weeks. I did learn to use a bright and/or dark lipstick. What a difference that makes!
Patti, I think that most of us, as we age, have to decide what to do about the incoming gray hair. My hair has no body without some type of color. My hairdresser is doing a great job of adding some blonde strands mixed in with my very light roots. It improves the texture greatly and I don’t have to use as much product, don’t have to wash it as frequently, and my hair just holds its shape better with much less effort on my part. To me, the results of adding some color to my hair make me feel happier with my appearance! It is definitely something that I want to keep doing. And, of course, I tell my hairdresser things that I share with no one else!
Omgosh! I totally understand, my hair is all white. So I put some low lights in my hair. It was a dark brown. I loved it. I pulled my hair thru a cap and did it myself. I needed dimensions too. Your hair is very pretty. 😊
It took far too long for me to go gray because I am brunette and didn't recognize myself with what I call sad orange as I was urged to go lighter. Finally, I let it all grow out all white and cut off a lot. I took some Pinterest ideas to the beauty shop as you know to do. My hairdresser put in black streaks and undertones. I love it! My home dye jobs were not fooling any one.
That’s a great idea Michelle…thanks…p
Lots of love to you Patty. You are the inspiration!
Patty, your hair is lovely. We are the same age, my hair is thin and wispy-ugh! Here in Southern Calif, most stylists use a process called "reverse highlighting" for growing out previously colored hair. This allows hair to blend,and be pretty as gray is allowed to become the new hair color. A good stylist should be able to achieve this for you.
I get a lot of compliments on my hair. It seems to be the same kind of hair you have. I don’t shampoo it but once a week years ago, I got a broken back and had to start using a hair salon every week to get my hair shampooed I finally made a standing appointment for every Friday, which is very inexpensive, if products are put on my hair, it is my guy he says my hair is dry. I started out with sort of brown hair always frosted never full color just layers of frosting. It started going gray and he kept frosting at the same old way, changing a little bit of the frosting to a little lighter shade, everyone loves my hair not exactly the way it fixed but the color! I am 71 and I’ve had a lot of health problems which led to several surgeries. Every time I have a surgery, it thins my hair a little more from the anesthesia. I love the same things you do in the front being really lots of blonde, I ask for chunks in the summer, but my hair guy will see when I’m needing color and I get it about every six weeks and it keeps my hair full and the same color all the time. I suggest you find a hair specialist or you see someone you like (that’s what I did.) I told him the reason I was calling was because I loved someone so I was hair and I wanted color just like she had and I was very prompt and always asking to come back making an appointment every time I would go until I got a standing appointment once you do that even if you go on vacation you get your spot back when you come back in town. I have been letting my hair grow all summer so I could get in the pool and put it in a scrunchy. It was really getting ratty on the ends. He cut me a long bob with kind of a longer swing in the front, but not short in the back just a tiny bit longer in the front. I can use an electric roller and it during the week and keep my style until the following Friday I’ll try to send you a picture of my color, I definitely don’t like it when my gray grows out too much in the front I even went as far as to ask him to color the parts that fall down in the back end when I have my hair up in a ponytail, so now he does it toO.
Oh, yes! I’ve been right where you are with my hair! During the COVID lock-down, when we couldn’t get into beauty salons, I simply stopped coloring my hair and let it grow out from being colored dark brown for years - and it’s basically all white now. I, too, long for some dimension and variation of color. What I have been doing is pulling it up in a ponytail on top of my head, and adding a bun or claw clip hairpiece with mixed-grey/white synthetic hair (like I’ve seen you use). As long as there are some white streaks in it, it blends well with my hair, and there is my dimension of color! I don’t want to get back into the never-ending rat-race and expense of coloring my hair again!! I think this is my permanent (and very easy, I might add) hair-do for the rest of my life.😅
Hi Paula, how's your day going with you?
Let my hair go white during pandemic! I don’t love it but everyone says they would pay for my color. It is pure white and easy to take care of… just a good cut every 8-10 weeks!
I think I just had to deal with Being 75 with white hair!! So….I don’t want the upkeep after having it so easy to take care of! Love your look and your hair just think of the upkeep before you decide! ❤😊 Janee
Hi Jane, how's your day going with you?
As I was growing mine out, I got highlights three different times during the process. I have some variations naturally in my color now but my stylist says she adds low lights to gray for others to get those color variations. I’ll m very happy with my gray now. Hope you’ll love yours too!
I think Brown hair will look great on you. ❤ You're Amazing ! You inspire me ! 🌺Zeina
You learn everything with the most amazing person I have ever met. Thank you from my heart❤
You were so right about the Mel Robbins podcast - amazing. You should do a podcast because you are so inspirational too!! Love your posts.
Hi Patti, I have been watching for at least 10 years. I am exactly your age and I choose to still color my hair a soft ash blonde. I thought I was ready to go gray, actually I would be pretty white but decided to stay with my coloring. You look beautiful either way, but I did like you a little better with blonde hair. Of ccourse it's entirely up to you. I think at our age, we get to do what we want!!!
So Pretty, as usual Patti! Love& Joy to You, Jim & Your Families 😘🫂
Hi Pattie, I love all of your videos. Here is my hair coloring experience and hope you find it helpful. I’m 68 and for years my hair had been dyed light brown (7NN) but I got tired of coloring my gray roots every 3 weeks so three months ago I decided to do something drastic --I decided to go blonde with the hopes that the gray roots would blend in nicely with the blonde so I wouldn’t have to color the roots as often. I had no idea what I was getting into and I did as much research as I could. I did hit some snags but in the end it worked out beautifully. Here’s what I did (best to my recollection): Step 1: I used L'Oreal Effasol Color Remover, purchased from Sally’s, and left it on 20 minutes and rinsed out. My hair looked pretty good actually, but the color remover had left my hair with a few different shades of reddish, brassy color (due to different hair colors I had used in the past years) along with the gray. Here is where I went wrong: Step 2: I next used Age Beautiful 9WB Lt Warm Blond with a 30 V developer, which turned my hair a really clownish brassy red and yellow. So I bundled up my hair under a scarf and went back to Sally’s. The clerk suggested Wella Toner T14 Pale Ash Blond. So Step 3 was the Wella Toner T14. BTW, I used It’s a 10 Miracle Mask on my hair after the treatments which I think saved my hair from disintegrating since my hair is very fine and very frizzy. But my hair was still more reddish than ash blonde so back to Sally’s. This time I got a Sally’s pro, who advised I get the Age Beautiful 9AA Light Double Ash Blonde with 20V Developer. So Step 4 was Age Beautiful 9AA. That did the trick and removed all of the red from my hair. Now when I do my roots, which I only need to do every 6 weeks, I use Age Beautiful 9A Light Ash Blonde (I don’t need the 9AA since that was to get rid of all the red tones). I also use John Frieda Violet Crush Shampoo and Developer once a week to keep the blonde nice and vibrant. Also, I take Nature’s Truth Hair Skin and Nails Biotin Gummies and I believe this has helped keep my hair in beautiful condition. I love my hair and get compliments all the time. I should have gone blonde 30 years ago!
Dear Lady, I feel the same. I do my own color. I’ve had disastrous experiences at the salons. I part my hair from the crown forward and include the areas in front of my ears. Separate this whole top area out and pin it. You now have the lower area of hair and the upper part. Color the lower area one shade darker than the top. Use two shades. The lighter one on the whole top area that you pinned and the darker shade on the lower part. Then when you comb your hair after you’ve colored it, you will have the dimension you want. I use L’Oréal Technique Crème Gray Coverage. From the beauty supply. You will have a much better color from the beauty supply. I use the developer called Orreos Crème 20. That is the gentlest on the hair. I am not a hairdresser but my friend who was a colorist taught me this. I get compliments all the time. Bless you.
I went through the same with my hair and just left it to grow out naturally and healthy.
Love from South Africa xoxo
Patti, company no matter how loved, is stressful. Add the blonde or add the gray. Whichever color will put you at ease and make the time w/ company less complicated and picture taking. Have a wonderful time! Xo
Patty, this video just popped up. I saw your later video of the grey color you went with. It was gorgeous and really brought out your beautiful blue eyes. I went from coloring my hair reddish brown to a yellowish blond. The hair dresser said I could not go light grey or white. I then let it grow out and I have the most beautiful white colored hair. What I really liked about it was that I could wear so many different clothes that I could not before.
My hairdresser talked me into going grey as I had a lot of grey and white hair naturally, but it didn't suit me I looked and felt drained. So it doesn't suit everyone.
Each to their own preferences. Hope yours turns out well pattie xxxx❤
Hi Patti! I'm sure what ever you decide to do with your hair you will look gorgeous.enjoy your guests have a great time 😊 from Mary in Bristol England.
Patty, I was in your situation about a year ago. Some women simply look better with a grey color than others. I finally went to a professional in PCB with a super reputation. She said with my light blue eyes and fair skin I needed both dark blonde low lights and a golden blonde highlights. I have had many compliments on my hair since then. An excellent hairdresser can do both the low and highlights at the same time. It looks ok growing out also. I’m not going with the popular “ go grey “ trend because it’s not best for me. Your so pretty that u can do either; however I vote for coloring it again due to your gorgeous skin/ eye combination. Oh color makes fine hair feel thicker too. Good luck sweet Patty.
I went gray last year. For the first time I got my hair heavily highlighted. I love my gray hair. I enjoy your channel. Thanks
Mel Robbins is amazing and I have been bingeing her podcast at work every day. I love her real talk, the language doesn’t bother me. I heard that episode you mentioned a few weeks ago and talk about inspiring. I just received her book The High 5 Habit. I don’t read much, but I am going to commit to trying to get through this book. I have been doing the High 5 in the mirror for a while. It’s only weird for a few days, then it becomes something that you just do in the morning. ❤
Hi De…I purchased her book when it first came out and it’s good! I’ve used similar techniques my whole adult life and they definitely work. Xoxo p
Hi Patti, I think the blonde was very flattering on you. You could have the same color blonde highlights put in your hair and achieve the look of dimension that you like. You would only have to do the highlights two or at most three times a year. Very little to maintain and a big bang for your buck.
Linda fr Las Vegas ❤
It’s a hard decision to make … during the pandemic I let me hair go silver white and always titer back and forth … but I’m also embracing it .. I always receive compliments! I think it would look good on you !
Patti you look beautiful always! Whatever you decide to do with your hair I know it will look so pretty. ❤️🙏🏻
Put in some low lights (darker color of blonde) to match your ends in the new growth. Then you can gradually put in fewer low lights if you want to grow it out. It grows out easier that way. Has less of a demarcation line. It makes it a little easier to to live with the gray. I prefer chunky low lights.
I love your videos. I am a very active 75 & can relate to you so well. Always look forward to your next video. ~ Judy 🌺
Hi Judy, how's your day going with you?
You look great. It has taken me nearly 12 mths (no colouring) to be nearly 'grey'. I still have
natural streaks of black, many different greys & pure white around my ears. Some how it
blends, but the texture is more wiry, colouring seems to give more body. However, I'm not
colouring again. It takes too long to transition.
I'm 77 & love the way you speak, as if we are long time best friends who are sitting together "catching up" with what's been going on in our lives. Everything you demonstrate addresses my personal needs. My question now are my awful bags underneath my eyes. I know you've discussed the remedy, but I don't remember, & I have a reunion coming in a few weeks. I think blonde is the most flattering hair color for you with your skin tone & eye color
I'm close to your age. My hair was medium brown, but I always kept it dyed a dark brown. About 2 years ago, I started using a light ash brown color. My white hair kept coming in too fast. Everybody kept telling me to just let it go gray. I tried, but I couldn't stand the looks of it. I bleached it myself. Now it's a beautiful ultra light ash blonde, almost platinum. I took about 2 months to do it. First going strawberry blonde, then medium blonde. Now it seems to get lighter every time I wash it. I wouldn't advise anyone to do what I did, but I'm glad I didn't listen to everyone else, and did it my way.
From here, with my 70 year old eyes in Oregon, your hair is beautiful!!!
You know what you want. You’ve put your desire to The Universe. You got this, Babe! ❤
❤ I went through the same thing. Finally got it cut off. It took off all my hair color finally went gray it grows back fast anyway. And discovered I love short hair
Love you Patti! Have a great week. 😊❤
Patty at 52 I was totally white ! I have never regretted going natural! I was coloring my hair every 21/2 weeks ! I am almost 75 and glad I gave up coloring all those years ago ! My hair is naturally curly and shoulder length ! It was a big choice for me ! Still lucky I get lots of complements! Get a good stylist to help you make your mind up ❤
Patti, do whatever color you like on your hair👍🏻Pretty makeup look🥰I love that color lipstick you used,such a pretty fall color👍🏻
I know your excited to have family and friends coming to visit😃Enjoy 😊👍🏻I Love being with my daughter’s and grandchildren too😃

Hi Linda, how's your day going with you?
Letting my hair go gray, it has been a challenge, have several more hair cuts and all old hair color will be gone. Love your videos Patti , your hair look nice.Thank you for makeup brush tips .
I use the same eye shadow pallet, I love the colors!! I've used them a long time! Take care!!
I’m always so happy to see a video from you! You are such a lovely woman 👼🏻💕👼🏻💕👼🏻
When my hair started to go it went really white, I love it. I also cut it short it takes years off your face.
Hi Patti, I really enjoy your videos! Just wanted to tell you I think you look great as a blonde. I think with your coloring being so fair, grey can make you feel drab. I think the brightening of a blonde is a lifter for older folks like me. I loved the way you looked in the Loreal Blondissimes. If you're going grey you will need to make it pretty white to contrast your face more. Just my 2 cents.
I'm a hairdresser: you want demention,which means adding dark pieces and maybe some light ones to,I've did it A LOT for my friends...just tell you're stylist what you want,she should get it...I travel n do hair I sure wish you were closer sis ..love ya so much been here since day one!❤❤❤
Patty I had this issue so…..I had it cut in a cute short due and then let it grow again. It didn’t take long and it was ponytail length again. Good luck with your decision
I"m only 57 and I cut the color out of my hair 2 years ago. I love it! I do have thick hair but I believe you could definitely pull it off!
You look good either way. In a video last year, your hair had grown out a good bit and what I saw was a lot of natural color and I thought that it complimented your skin very nicely. I am on the fence about going natural in the future. I am about to turn 60 and my hair is about 1/2 white and some light gray in the back, so much that I can color it blonde easily and have been using a light ash blonde color. I have been a brunette most of my life. Taking care of my mom, who colored her hair till she became ill, I see the how the texture changes. So until I am unable to, I will probably always color it maybe switching to a silver color somewhere down the road.
Love your videos and I have a request. Please do a review of Jones Road Miracle Balm - specifically for all over the face. But also which tints to use for what purpose - just everything. It’s so confusing! Keep up the great work!🌺
Wear your wig! YOU inspired me to begin wearing them when you wore that beauiful one from Raquel W (I think). I couldn't believe that it WAS a wig!!! You're the best!!!
Enjoy all of the company Patti!
You are such a beautiful woman! Your personality is so sweet and makes me feel like you are my friend.
I love Angie’s brushes, too…and the Maybelline lip crayons. I wish I could get away with wearing the darker ones like you do.
I was told, by my hairdresser, to be patient while letting my gray grow out. She said, I would ruin my hair bleaching it. It’s just past my shoulders now and I have 2-3 inches of color to go.
Love you and love your channel. 💕
Hi patti
I went through the same thing..thought id be ok with gray but I was not a happy kamper...so I did a Reversed technic.I used the cap from my highter kit.
And pulled the amount of strands i wanted...then i used my hair color instead of hightlighter !!
Rinsed color off while still wearing cap .
So happy with results .i like multi colored hair too.😊
Anyway you chose , you still look GOOD!!!❤
Hi daisy, how's your day going with you?
I just found your channel and I am thrilled!
You are us. My hair has always been a problem. Love your videos.
I got a topper! Love it!!! You are lovely either way! ❤
I love the Age Perfect 4-in-1 L'Oreal balm (older video). It's so easy to apply. Thank you
When I grew out my color I had my stylist pull it through a cap to bleach it. I did that twice during the grow out process. The result was a frosted look without a harsh line between the dyed hair and the new growth. I’ve never missed coloring and love my natural color.
Hi Emile…I did that way back when I was still coloring my hair…that may be a good solution for me again. Oh why can’t this aging thing be easy LOL…patti
That darn spellcheck! Emmie🌷
It took me just over 1 1/2 years grow my hair out. It could have gone faster but I refused to cut my hair short. I am happy that I did it! I used to be a hairdresser so I colored my own hair.
