I have a different perspective. Going grey is THAT deep for me. Im turning 39 in January. I rejoice every grey hair. I wear them as a badge of honour. I was expected to die at birth but when I lived, I was only expected to live until I was 18. As a cystic fibrosis patient and a double lung transplant recipient, I feel honoured and privileged to be getting grey hairs. All my CF friends I have grown up with are dead. Everytime I think maybe I should hide the greys I think hold up, you’re alive and lucky. I’ll wear them proudly and honour the ones I’ve lost along the way
I'm so glad you could prove everyone wrong and get to see signs of life, that is so precious on your hair. I mean we forget way to often how precious every day is and that grey hair are just a reminder of how much precious time we got.
@Rachel Forshee grey hair gives hair beautiful beautiful beautiful dimension 🥰🥰🥰 I plucked my very first grey hair to keep as a souvenir and I now have another one and I'm watching it grow longer and it's exciting, wondering when I will get a third one and what pattern they will take...
The idea of anyone accusing you of being unkempt or lazy… I could cry laughing! You are stunningly gorgeous no matter what you do or don’t do with your hair, and you always look amazing and put together! I have an autoimmune disorder that means I constantly feel like I have the flu and I’m that exhausted every day, all day. I just wish I could look as put together as you do! Please don’t listen to any of the silly cows who are telling you how you “should” look. The only way you should look is however the heck you want to! I actually never even noticed your gray streak until this very video, so I think maybe it’s only people who are looking for something to complain about who are commenting mean things about it. We love you just the way you are! ❤
Girl, where have you been my whole RUclips life??? I am a NEW SUBBIE and I have never been so obsessed with a channel. Ever. I have watched HOURS of your videos (love the declutters!) and I cannot get enough. As a RUclips content creator, I KNOW the effort it takes to film and upload 5 days/week ! You have inspired me to up my game going into 2023. I'm definitely going to buy products from some Indie brands as, sadly, I had never heard of 99% of those you mention. Thanks so much to Jen Luv for putting me on a couple of days ago when she dropped your name. And thank you for your consistency and all of your amazing content!
Female version of silver fox = Silver Vixen 😉 I've been going grey since I was 16. I'm 33 now and you can see my big silver streak in my RUclips thumbnails usually, or my Instagram pics. People think it's fake and I bleach it that way
Thanks for discussing this. I’d like to clarify that when I asked about your grey streak, I wasn’t asking if it’s unkept! I really was curious since it looked new if you bleached it to have that look (I have friends who did that). I too have a grey streak that I love and keep visible. PS I’m 35 and started getting grey hair in my late 20s, so I agree with you, it’s not that deep 💜
One of my exes started greying when he was 16! Made him look significantly older to the point where I kept forgetting I was the older one by multiple years 🤭
In college there was a beautiful lady who had the most amazing thick WHITE streak in the front of her head full of very dark hair....skunk comes to mind but in the best way possible. There was a family function and her mom, sisters and brothers all had it!!! It was absolutely amazing!! Yeah, love the streaks too
Yes, it's genetic. One of my classmates started getting gray at age 14 and in a year she was fully gray. Met her mom, who had gorgeous curly, long silver gray hair. She started getting gray at 19. Now I see them years later still rocking the look. 😍 Apparently they like to troll people with "old person's" hair and young face (it confuses people a lot).
I am 63, I still dye my hair. I have let my grey come through during lockdown but I just didn’t look like me. I LOVE GREY HAIR! It is beautiful when it is shiny and well taken care of. Mine is not. Everyone should be allowed to do whatever they want without fear of criticism. It is not that important in the greater scheme of life! You look beautiful no matter what colour your hair is Angie!
My mom made me very paranoid that my grays would be "ugly" because she always said how ugly her grandma's gray hair was and she made a lot of passive-aggressive comments when I decided to grow out my gray. Luckily, mine is bright and shiny, but it took me a while to realize that the reason my great-grandma's hair looked so dull and yellow was because she smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day in a house whose windows never got opened and only washed her hair when she went to get her hair done once a week. Letting people form their own opinions and respecting their choice should be the norm, unfortunately it tends to be the exception. I love that you do what makes you happy ❤
Thank you so much! At 62, I'm probably older than a lot of your viewers. I know SOOOO many women my age who started covering their grays when they were in their 40s. A number of them started growing it out during lock-down and have not gone back to coloring their hair because they like it. I have a friend who went gray very young and never dyed it. Her hair was the most beautiful silver when I met her. It's time for society to leave women alone about the color of their hair whatever they choose--pink, green, or gray!
I’m a few years younger than you, and I have quite a few friends who are embracing the grey too. I wish I could, but my hair is so thin and fine that I’m afraid that I’d look kinda bald without some color in it. Or maybe I’ve got that wrong, and the contrast between dark brown dyed hair and my glowing white scalp makes my thinning patches more noticeable.
@@donnaroberts281 your hair will most likely look more full when it's grey then! my partner (he has light skin) has bald spots and super thin hair and having it bleached to a pale blonde makes it a lot less obvious ❤ also, people with naturally dark hair usually have thicker hair than people with naturally light hair (no matter if blonde or after they went grey). so having thin hair actually looks more natural (generally speaking) when it's light!
@@recordtapesbackward I may try it to see how it goes. My hair is a light-medium brown, but my eyebrows are quite dark. Also my skin is pretty pale, so I’m worried that I’ll look washed out. I guess there’s only one way to find out. If I don’t like it, I can always go back to coloring it.
I met my husband when he was 24 and he was already going gray, now that he is 30 it’s so much more apparent, almost everyone in his family teases him about it and asks why he doesn’t dye it, it’s just in his genetics, a lot of the men in his family went gray early, his dad has a full head of WHITE hair 👨🦳. We’ve just got to let people be ❤️
I’m 57 and started coloring my hair about 20 years ago not because of greys but because I didn’t like my ash blonde hair surrounded by redheads. I stopped about 5 years ago and love my natural color with greys throughout. Self love comes in all forms and it’s none of anybody’s business how people choose to express it. I think your streak is sexy 😊
I have had gray hair since I was 7 years old and I am 45 now. Yes I do color my hair but there there have been many periods of my life when I have not colored my hair however I love changing my hair and having different colors and styles. I believe it’s personal preference and I really dislike that we live in a society that people feel so comfortable to put one another down instead of lifting one another up. We really need to come together to support and celebrate each other’s differences. A rule of thumb that I always tell my children is if it doesn’t hurt you or someone else than it’s most likely ok!
I'm 48, have been covering grays since I was 22, and finally started growing out my gray a little while before covid hit. There were 2 main reasons - mostly because I was just tired of dealing with the inconvenience and money outlay, but also because I have curly hair and I felt like the color was doing damage to my already fragile hair. Plus, covering gray to a medium/dark, cool-toned brown without it pulling red after a week or two is rough. Now, I love my fully white/silver/gray curls, get a ton of positive comments, and my hair is the healthiest it's ever been.
You always come across as someone who is just their genuine self, and I'm here for it. People who try to put their own crap onto others are rude and hurtful, and need to look inward to understand why it makes them feel better to belittle people. There's enough out there tearing us down, without us doing it to one another. If they don't like you, they know where the exit is. You keep being you, beautiful inside and out. ❤
I’m so glad you gave a voice to this issue. I’ll be 64 next week and have been bleaching my hair blonde since I was 18. EVEN at my age gray is frowned upon. I follow several IG accounts of women choosing to embrace their gray hair and they have had SO many negative comments. And imo these woman look stunning with the gray when you compare their befores. Coloring your hair or going gray should be and IS a personal choice. Getting judged and shade for choosing gray is so crazy to me. Women have been being told how to look for centuries. We’ve come so far and to have a WOMAN call out another woman on her appearance is a betrayal. Plain and simple. We’re supposed to lift each other up not tear each other apart. I’ve stayed blonde from peer pressure. And I’m sick and tired of it. Going gray we regretfully expect negative comments from men which we shouldn’t but to get them from other women is absolutely insane to me. I would never disrespect another woman who feels beautiful with her appearance choices. I applaud her! Yay for her for having good self esteem!! And 9 times out of ten I see beauty and if I don’t I keep it to myself. I would never tear down another woman because she didn’t choose my choice. It’s egomaniacal and an utter lack of manners to do so. So thank you for highlighting (no pun intended) this controversial issue!! 👏🏻🙌😘
YAY!! I'm 44 and going grey too.. have been since my late 20's but major surgery accelerated them. I have been um-ing and ah-ing over whether to colour over them.. but I'm happy with seeing them. If I want a change, I will just use a tonal glaze to omph things up a notch but still showing the grey. Love you Angie!! 😎✌🏼💋💜💜💜💜🇬🇧
Great conversation and topic. I have naturally dark black hair and I used to pluck every grey hair in my 20s. Now in my late 30s and I'm letting them grow in...some days I struggle with it, because it's so stark. But it's so true, it's okay in our society for men to have grey hairs but not women? That's bullshit!
I’m almost 41 and have a sporadic grey hair here and there but I’ve had a white streak of hair (think X-men’s Rogue) since birth. I love it!🥰 when I was a little child I got some teasing about it ( not bullying thank God!) but I’ve always loved my white stripe. Even when I dyed my hair I would protect it so it wouldn’t get dyed too😂. Now I dye my hair even less frequently but sometimes I just do it to make my streak MORE visible 😂😂
@@riven799 😳 honestly I have never heard of it I don’t think so! But I have blue eyes and I get frequent ear infections! But to be honest if we start googling we all find out that we have a million health issues 😂
I skipped the grey stage and started getting my first white hairs at around 17. I'm now a mid-30s working mum and couldn't be bothered to race to the hairdresser every time my white hair shows (my natural hair colour is dark brown so the white is very visible). There's too much to do in real life and many other things to worry about. The white hair doesn't define me so I'd rather spend my money and energy on things that bring me and my family joy. 😊 If it bothers someone else, they can just look elsewhere. 😂
I've also FINALLY convinced my mother to grow her hair out. The yellow blonde looks gross with her olive skintone, and going her natural dark brown makes the regrowth stand out way too much, AND NOW! She's finally a lovely white silver and still some pepper in the back 😄 oo and there's this lady at work that looks like a young 40 something year old with platinum grey hair (natural) and looks so so cool. Love it
@@steampunk5123 yeah, she chose it, she just needed help ignoring the A-holes telling her to dye it. For like 10yrs she kept saying, "I want to grow my hair out, I want to go grey," and then listened to the pressure of her mum or sister or society and I finally got her to ignore them and she's so happy.
I am a 27yo woman from Sweden and you're actually such an inspiration for me. Good to know that 11-12 years from now, I'll (probably) still be able to be vibrant and embrace life, grey hairs or not ❤️
I started going gray at 11 and using hair color by 15. I continued to go between keeping my hair dark brown to hide white roots or blonde to hide the dark roots. I did this every 3 weeks for 50 years! It finally hit me how expensive this was and, quite honestly, I was tired of doing it. Once my white hair had completely grown out, I started getting compliments about my hair like never before. It was thick, healthy and shiny silver white. It’s been 10 years and only wish I had gotten off the dye/bleach carousel years before I did.
I'm 49 and the gray is coming in. Both of my parents have spectacular heads of gray hair and I'm just going to rock it. I love your takes on aging and appearance!
Your grey streaks are elegant and interesting. I used the start of the pandemic as the chance to grow out my color while nobody could see my roots and I’m so glad I did. I’ve saved a LOT of money and my skin looks so much softer. I will say, the texture changes and moisture is very important. It’s been fun to see how many friends are doing the same. Girl power, ladies! Our heads; our rules.
I cover my grays because my natural color is so dark, but also because my gray hair is so wiry and kinky. I can't stand the texture of it. For lack of a better description, it's like pubic hair. How do I help the texture of my gray hair to be more normal?
I also don’t think greys are a ‘problem’. I love your grey streak. I don’t love my greys because they’re sort of sparse in my dark brown hair and make my hair look ashier, but when I keep my hair its natural color, if it bothers me, I don’t try to hide them I just tint them a bit warmer.
I love your gray! My sister has had a gray strip in her hair since high school, and she was embarrassed by it. I think it's beautiful and was so happy when she finally embraced the streak. Now gen z kids ask her where she gets it done. Lol
I'm so glad you did this video as it's a reminder that women need to be kinder to one another, lift each other up instead of putting others down and not be so judgemental about the way other women look. It's an individual's choice and how it makes them feel. And you always look absolutely fabulous!!!
When I was in my early 30s, I had a friend who could not wait until she went grey and that perspective stuck with me. While I was resistant by my first greys (late 30s), it’s really been a slow process. I’m 53 and the grey (salt and pepper look is just now becoming noticeable and it’s been great. Im so glad that my friend’s attitude impacted me so much. I’ve been very comfortable with my greys and don’t plan to start. I think it’s ok for a woman to decide or not to do so. I love grey hair on men and women!!
My Grandma was a natural redhead and would die over her grays when she started turning because she had beautiful hair. Someone told her she look “wrong” with her red hair dyed, so she stopped dyeing it because then it made her feel bad. It still infuriates me that someone would ruin her self confidence like that. I miss her so much.❤
I noticed recently on IG that a friend had gone totally grey and my first reaction was wow she's way too young for that, but my second was wow she looks stunning! Grey hair suits her way better than blonde ever did. Idk why people can't just keep their negativity to themselves.
Thanks for talking about this. I started going white at 13. Genetics. By 16 it was bad enough and kids at school would make fun of me. My mom finally let me start dying it and I have been ever since. I'm 47 now. Once the Panini (thanks for that word) hit I stopped. I still haven't been back to a salon. Not gonna lie, it was shocking to see what my natural hair looks like now once it really started to grow out. It's mostly white and silver with some odd shade of brown underneath. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I don't feel like myself and think that it does make me look older than my years. In general I look younger than my actual age. Who knows what I'll end up doing, but either way, nobody should be made to feel bad whether they embrace or color their grays! It's just silly. It's personal preference and style. Love your channel, Angie. 🖤
Thankyou for addressing this. I have been dying my hair since I was a teenager thanks to premature greying via my father’s family. I’m 46 now and so tired of destroying my hair with dye just because society holds women to ridiculous beauty standards. My father passed away last year and I feel that finally allowing my natural silver to show is a way of honouring his memory and a special bond I will always have with him and his family.
I started going gray right after a nightmare labor and delivery of my first baby. I was 22... I EARNED every single strand of gray on my head! I honestly think your streak is gorgeous, I honestly thought that streak was deliberately put/left there. Just the way your hair grows and falls naturally it works!
Love this video!! I also started going grey in my early 20’s I’m now 45 and just started letting my grey grow out about 6 months ago and I regret nothing lol I love it ❤
Thank you so much for bringing up a topic like that! I'm 29 and I have a lot of grey hairs for about 6 years...everyone tell me "you should fix your hair", "try something different, you're young" etc and I really don't get it! And the most important is that THEY don't get it. How they can affect one someone's psychology and self-confidence under the guise of "caring"... Your perspective is so encouraging and motivating which will surely help many of us❤ Embrace gray hair 💪
I completely agree with you, I think embracing and aging gracefully is beautiful 🤗 everyone walks different paths and your journey is yours alone and is beautiful 🥰
I started finding grey hairs when I was 24. I don't really watch Jen Luv anymore, but I supported her decision to start going grey. It looked great. Yours does, too. I am 10 years older than you both, but I'm not quite ready to stop covering my greys. I just do my natural dark blonde all over, and maybe start going grey in my late 60s. I think you and I both are just doing what we want with our own hair, and no one else needs to have an opinion on it. Have a good Monday, beautiful!
It's absolutely fine. If you feel like doing it, do it. I think, in my own experience, you gotta do what you really wish to do. One morning I woke up, and just felt I am ready to be a silver vixen 😉
I agree, there’s nothing wrong with going with your natural hair color at it own natural rate. Your makeup looks so beautiful here. Colourpop does so well with their formulas.❤🙂
I have had greys since high school. I do dye it when I feel like it but not that worried about it either. You are spot on with regards to women vs men and grey hair. Hope you enjoyed your trip. We love stopping by the Blue Lotus when we're out that way - great people, wine, and mead!
I’m totally buzzing to start getting greys and wrinkles, I never thought I would live long enough to get “old” and every sign/reminder I have that I’m getting older is such a treat. I really love what you’ve said about how ageing is a privilege and the way society treats getting older especially for women is simply ridiculous. The idea that our natural bodies are inherently unkempt is just absurd.
huge agree with you on all of this!!! but also… something about the grey looks so beautiful on you, at least in my opinion! I also looove when women who are blessed with whiter hair rather than gray dye it pastel purple! so fun!
You're such a smart and well spoken woman! I know I follow you for your makeup but you really give out solid advice. You wear the gray hair well. I honestly did not notice it. I hope more and more women learn to be more accepting of themselves!
I’ve embraced my gray ever since it started in my early 30’s. I think it’s beautiful and I think yours is too. I personally feel like natural hair is so liberating and easy. I love it! ✨✨🖤
I love my gray hair and I love yours. They are my silver strands of wisdom and I have earned every one of them. Honestly, I am into being who you are and letting others be who they are. Wear makeup if you want, or don’t. Wear pants, dresses, whatever, if you aren’t hurting anyone then nobody has the right to judge you. Keep being you!!!!❤
Fab video Angie! This is the first time I’ve seen anyone discussing this on their channel. Like you say it’s personal choice. I hate seeing my greys but I really don’t mind my wrinkles too much whereas others would have Botox or surgery to fix them. Why is any of this an issue? Beauty comes from confidence & personality, not from superficial looks. We all need to support other women to be pro-ageing not anti-ageing. Xx
And if I can make a request: Could you please do an updated video on the BEST MAKEUP BRUSHES, both premium and affordable? I've been buying mine from Amazon and I think that's where a lot of us go wrong. It would also be awesome if you could give insight into the different brushes you use to create your looks because it looks as if you only use a few. Thank you!
So glad you went to Fredericksburg, and I am sure you had fun with your family. You're hair looks great. 53 years old now, and still bright ginger, but started getting a few white hairs at my temples due to stress. I hated my hair when I was young, but now embrace my color.
This is a hilarious subject for me. . . I NEVER colored my hair until I hit 70. For some reason my grays started concentrating on both sides of my forehead and I felt like I resembled a vampire! 😅😅 So I box dyed it. . . 😮big mistake! I then asked my salon to give me some lowlights to take away the one dimensional color (which was very dark!). The result was BLOND highlights! 😳 Moral of the story-I should have left my hair alone! So when it finally grows out, I will once again LOVE my grays. . . I didn’t have that many to start with. 😆😆❤ Thanks for sounding off about this!
I’m so glad that you decided to talk about this! I started by going gray journey this year and I’m still growing out my short curly hair. Loved hearing about your journey.
I love it. I am going a little grey too ( am 43) and I dye my hair… I will keep doing it. I have a friend who is in her mid fifties who’s had her natural grey hair for few years now. I love it. You go girl. I totally understand what you’re saying.
I absolutely love your gray hair, I think the gray streak in the front looks so elegant 🥰 And I‘m 23 and I also have some gray hair and I love it … Actually I hope I’m completely gray when I’m in your age, so I just can slap blue color on it without bleaching 🤷🏻♀️
I think your hair looks beautiful. I started getting gray hair since I was 27. I dyed it for 25 years. The pandemic hit and I stopped dying it. I love my grey hair. I get so many more compliments nowadays. Again, your hair looks beautiful and suits you.
listen, whoever says anything about your hair needs to go worry about their lives, because YOUR hair is NONE of their concerns. i LOVE your hair. i’ve always loved your little greys growing in and i think that they make you even more gorgeous tbh. i’ve always LOVED grey hair. my aunt on my dad’s side was fully grey/white by the time she was 30 and she kept it that way, and it looks so beautiful, and i always wanted to have hair like her. i have a few greys and i have dark black hair. my mom’s hair color is the same as yours and her greys are beautiful and she HATES them soooo much!!! i think it’s awesome that you love your hair as it is and your comfortable in your own skin, and i admire that so very much about you. 🧡🧡🧡
I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now, I love you, I don’t really do makeup often. I really didn’t put that much thought into what you were or weren’t doing with your hair, I like the grey on you and it didn’t even occur to me that you weren’t dying your hair until I saw the title of this video 😂 it’s just hair, after all... I have had greys since I was 13 or so, at 35 I have stopped covering my grey because the upkeep is insane with my dark brown hair, they’re about 3 inches of natural growth at this point and I love it. Really appreciate your grwm, the variety in your content. Thank you 🌸❤️🌸
Love your grey streak. I used to have one…but sadly my hair loss has done away with much of it. I decided to grey 5 years ago…and I wish I were greyer…but would not go back to dying my hair. It is in such fabulous shape! You have the right attitude! I am 59…and appreciate you.
Oh Angie, please just ignore all the negative comments regarding your gray hairs!!! Your hair looks lovely. I am partially gray, and I love it. No more colour or highlights. I'm pleasing myself, not the rest of the world, it's that simple. My best friend is a hairdresser, and she has shamed me for no longer having colour. I was left gobsmacked! After all it is my personal decision, and I'm happy with it, that's all that matters. So stay as lovely as you are, colorful makeup looks gorgeous with your hair. 👍💖💕
I just turned 39 last month, and I haven't touched my hair with color in 2 years! It's so freeing! And I'm a licensed cosmetologist lol. I have a few grays, but you know what? I just don't care! I only have like 2 inches left of my color. It is in such great shape now. It's healthy, bouncy, it's just awesome! I may do something one day, but I was just over the coloring. Even though I colored my hair myself, I don't have the expense of the products or TIME it took anymore. I still style it, but now it styles better! I'm loving it so much! Good for you girl!
Once again thank you for your honesty and sharing how people react. It’s so true how society makes women feel lazy or ugly and unkept for going gray . I seen it for years being a hairstylist. I would just always recommend ways to make the process easier by blending in as it grew out just to help with adjusting tones with the skin . Grays also make the hair more unruly as it is more course . We women need to be kind to each other.
I've been loving seeing your natural hair/gray hairs come in - I think it looks very lovely! I'm sure that you DO NOT take trolls too seriously, but for anyone who does - ignore them please. We all get to do whatever we want!💜
I'm 2 months away from 40. My hair started turning grey when I was 24. I hit perimenopause at 32. It's genetics. In my case, like mother, like daughter. I have indeed dyed my hair. Purple, teal, blue, pink and fushia. I have never dyed my hair too cover my grey's I dye it for the fun of it. Then I do my makeup to match.
I have dark brown hair and started getting grays in my 20s, and actually thought they were cool. But I succumbed to peer pressure. In my 40s and dyed my hair for the next 15 years. I just couldn’t chase that skunk line every couple of weeks anymore…but it was HARD to get through the transition. Finally cutting the last of the dye off was such an amazing feeling of freedom. I LOVE my silky, unique salt and pepper silver sparkles. My 37 year old daughter loves my hair so much she has decided to not start coloring. Yes, I too get Amazingly nasty comments…luckily they don’t bother me. I do believe that as more women embrace their silver it will be less associated with the elderly. Having said that I support anyone who colors their hair…I do my 77 year old Aunts roots for her every month. Live and let live ❤
Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more girl!!! Xoxo preach sis!!! I am 40 and not a single grey but my mom and sis went grey super early and it’s beautiful!! Pro aging here ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
I think you look fabulous with your gray hair coming in! One year ago I decided to stop colouring my hair, so I shaved my head and have been growing my beautiful gray hair out. I have been wearing wigs until it’s long enough for me to do something with it. Gray hair really makes my blue eyes pop!
Thank you for this video. Brains, courage and looks....that's You my dear. I am 70 and if it were not for the long, painful growing out phase I would go grey. I really don't care what others think.
WOW, here I was thinking that you look so fabulous. I applaud you for your choice and you should not listen to negative comments. You look amazing and you are a wonderful woman Angelica. I adore you!
I'm really glad to hear you talk about issues that are kinda social like that. I remember my mother had a similar grey stripe around 40 as well, and I always thought it was so pretty, but I remember other family members asking her why she doesn't cover it, she would just brush it off.
Thanks for addressing this, Angie. How people want to handle going grey is a personal decision and others should respect that. If you don't want to color your greys, that's your perogative, but in no way does that make someone lazy or unkempt! Like you, I have been dealing with greys since a young age - 18! - and it's just genetic. I have chosen to color mine all these millions of years, but that's just me. If you don't want to color your greys, that's ok, just as it is for someone who wants to color theirs. Love you, Angie!
I’ve always said that when I start going gray I’m going to stop dying my hair (which I’ve been doing since I was 14). I was too afraid to go to the salon during COVID, and I happened to start going gray then, so I went for it. It’s graying in streaks like yours and I’m kinda loving it. I’ve been through it and I’ve earned them! 😊
I'm so glad you talked about this! The ageism used against women really is just misogyny, I fully agree. It's gross that people have been commenting on your looks like that, I'm so sorry, I think your hair looks great
Thanks for talking about this ❤❤❤ these sideways comments are a form of coercion-intentional or not. Your natural color is stunning. I started graying at 17 and was mostly white by 35. I dyed it from 25 until 3 year ago. Letting it grow out was empowering. I love how I look now. My hair is healthier and thicker than ever. It’s a form of rebellion and I’m fine with that.
I've been coloring my hair copper (some type of natural-ish ginger hair) because I'm extremely pale and wanted to add a little life to my coloring. As I was aging (I'm now 30), I got scared that I would miss my first white hair. It felt like a milestone. But I managed to see them peak in between coloring and I was happy to be able to notice them. I keep coloring my hair for the same reason I use to, because I like myself as a ginger, but I expect one day to go back to my light brown hair and let it all be natural. I think it's great we can just all choose to do what we want, it's so important to have control over our own bodies. Having a choice is so crucial. Also, please, people stop pushing your insecurities and beliefs in other people's throat. Do what you believe is good for you, let other people choose for themselves.
I'm in the exact same boat! I love being a "ginger", but at 46 yo, I have been considering going natural light brown again (both my sisters are blondes)...so this was a refreshing conversation!
You look lovely with this makeup. I have grays since 17. I was dying my hair since then, and now I did not use permanent color for ~9 months. It looks like I may keep using my semi-permanent neon colors to dye grays while keeping my creative neon hair color during it grows up. When I decide to change from neon to ash blonde (I was always dreaming about your natural color and it fits me well, I tried) :) - my grays will be here. I'm of your age, 1 year younger. So I support your every word here. Happy we share the same view :3
I love my Grey hair ,I grew tired of the cost and upkeep of my hair and I only get it trimmed maybe once a year...I love your Grey hair so good for you for not caring what others say👍
I started going gray when the world went on lockdown in 2020. I had been coloring my hair consistently since i was about 16, so i really didn't know i was going gray until my roots grew out for the year and a half i couldn't get my hair colored. I was so excited, and decided to stop covering my gray. My only wish is that 1. i could make more of my hairs gray, and 2. my non-gray hair was more black instead of brown. Other than that, i love my gray. It sparkles silver just like fairy hair. As a bonus, my husband kids like it too!
I've been watching you for a couple of years and until now I have never noticed your hair. Embrace what you have been given. I'm 51 and had Grey hair at 18 only in the last couple of years I've decided to color my hair for me no one else
I have a different perspective. Going grey is THAT deep for me. Im turning 39 in January. I rejoice every grey hair. I wear them as a badge of honour. I was expected to die at birth but when I lived, I was only expected to live until I was 18. As a cystic fibrosis patient and a double lung transplant recipient, I feel honoured and privileged to be getting grey hairs. All my CF friends I have grown up with are dead. Everytime I think maybe I should hide the greys I think hold up, you’re alive and lucky. I’ll wear them proudly and honour the ones I’ve lost along the way
Exactly this!! There's also a sense of pride when you prove the Doctors wrong💜.
That is incredible! Glad you're still around :)
You are such an inspiration ☺
I'm so glad you could prove everyone wrong and get to see signs of life, that is so precious on your hair. I mean we forget way to often how precious every day is and that grey hair are just a reminder of how much precious time we got.
💜💜💜
Whoever said gray hair looks “unkempt” is ridiculous. Gray hair is apart of life. And you look stunning no matter what.
Gray hair can look unkempt but it also can be extremely elegant and so beautiful
Mine I’ll be k
Honest it doesn’t look great because I have dark brown hair with white grey roots. The greys always stick up 😅
Any color hair can look unkempt.
Why do people think it’s unkempt for women to have grey hair? Everybody gets grey hair, it really isn’t that deep. Thank you for discussing this!
@Rachel Forshee grey hair gives hair beautiful beautiful beautiful dimension 🥰🥰🥰 I plucked my very first grey hair to keep as a souvenir and I now have another one and I'm watching it grow longer and it's exciting, wondering when I will get a third one and what pattern they will take...
@Rachel Forshee it does give more character! We get grey hairs because we’re aging, which is a good thing. We should be grateful for the privilege
Seriously! And why do people feel is ok to comment on someone else’s hair, body, face etc.?! People have no boundaries!
Interesting enough, redheads almost never go grey because of the pigments in their hair. They dull to a cinnamon sorta shade. Then go white!
@@kristenclark82 I'm sorry nobody has ever given you a compliment?
Or do you exclusively mean critical comments?
The idea of anyone accusing you of being unkempt or lazy… I could cry laughing! You are stunningly gorgeous no matter what you do or don’t do with your hair, and you always look amazing and put together! I have an autoimmune disorder that means I constantly feel like I have the flu and I’m that exhausted every day, all day. I just wish I could look as put together as you do! Please don’t listen to any of the silly cows who are telling you how you “should” look. The only way you should look is however the heck you want to! I actually never even noticed your gray streak until this very video, so I think maybe it’s only people who are looking for something to complain about who are commenting mean things about it. We love you just the way you are! ❤
Girl, where have you been my whole RUclips life??? I am a NEW SUBBIE and I have never been so obsessed with a channel. Ever. I have watched HOURS of your videos (love the declutters!) and I cannot get enough. As a RUclips content creator, I KNOW the effort it takes to film and upload 5 days/week ! You have inspired me to up my game going into 2023. I'm definitely going to buy products from some Indie brands as, sadly, I had never heard of 99% of those you mention. Thanks so much to Jen Luv for putting me on a couple of days ago when she dropped your name. And thank you for your consistency and all of your amazing content!
I also found Angie from Jen luv but it was a couple years ago!! They're both amazing women lifting each other up. Love ❤️
Female version of silver fox = Silver Vixen 😉 I've been going grey since I was 16. I'm 33 now and you can see my big silver streak in my RUclips thumbnails usually, or my Instagram pics. People think it's fake and I bleach it that way
Thanks for discussing this. I’d like to clarify that when I asked about your grey streak, I wasn’t asking if it’s unkept! I really was curious since it looked new if you bleached it to have that look (I have friends who did that). I too have a grey streak that I love and keep visible. PS I’m 35 and started getting grey hair in my late 20s, so I agree with you, it’s not that deep 💜
I'm so jealous of all the people that have a gray streak. I always wanted one because of Storm on X-men
@@sherrythomas3028 hahaha one of my clients call me storm because the top of my head is white (and if I part it one way the white streak is bold).
@@callmeskullz8069 😊💜
One of my exes started greying when he was 16! Made him look significantly older to the point where I kept forgetting I was the older one by multiple years 🤭
In college there was a beautiful lady who had the most amazing thick WHITE streak in the front of her head full of very dark hair....skunk comes to mind but in the best way possible. There was a family function and her mom, sisters and brothers all had it!!! It was absolutely amazing!! Yeah, love the streaks too
Yes, it's genetic. One of my classmates started getting gray at age 14 and in a year she was fully gray. Met her mom, who had gorgeous curly, long silver gray hair. She started getting gray at 19. Now I see them years later still rocking the look. 😍 Apparently they like to troll people with "old person's" hair and young face (it confuses people a lot).
I am 63, I still dye my hair. I have let my grey come through during lockdown but I just didn’t look like me. I LOVE GREY HAIR! It is beautiful when it is shiny and well taken care of. Mine is not. Everyone should be allowed to do whatever they want without fear of criticism. It is not that important in the greater scheme of life! You look beautiful no matter what colour your hair is Angie!
My mom made me very paranoid that my grays would be "ugly" because she always said how ugly her grandma's gray hair was and she made a lot of passive-aggressive comments when I decided to grow out my gray. Luckily, mine is bright and shiny, but it took me a while to realize that the reason my great-grandma's hair looked so dull and yellow was because she smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day in a house whose windows never got opened and only washed her hair when she went to get her hair done once a week. Letting people form their own opinions and respecting their choice should be the norm, unfortunately it tends to be the exception. I love that you do what makes you happy ❤
Thank you so much! At 62, I'm probably older than a lot of your viewers. I know SOOOO many women my age who started covering their grays when they were in their 40s. A number of them started growing it out during lock-down and have not gone back to coloring their hair because they like it. I have a friend who went gray very young and never dyed it. Her hair was the most beautiful silver when I met her. It's time for society to leave women alone about the color of their hair whatever they choose--pink, green, or gray!
I’m a few years younger than you, and I have quite a few friends who are embracing the grey too. I wish I could, but my hair is so thin and fine that I’m afraid that I’d look kinda bald without some color in it. Or maybe I’ve got that wrong, and the contrast between dark brown dyed hair and my glowing white scalp makes my thinning patches more noticeable.
@@donnaroberts281 your hair will most likely look more full when it's grey then! my partner (he has light skin) has bald spots and super thin hair and having it bleached to a pale blonde makes it a lot less obvious ❤ also, people with naturally dark hair usually have thicker hair than people with naturally light hair (no matter if blonde or after they went grey). so having thin hair actually looks more natural (generally speaking) when it's light!
@@recordtapesbackward I may try it to see how it goes. My hair is a light-medium brown, but my eyebrows are quite dark. Also my skin is pretty pale, so I’m worried that I’ll look washed out. I guess there’s only one way to find out. If I don’t like it, I can always go back to coloring it.
I met my husband when he was 24 and he was already going gray, now that he is 30 it’s so much more apparent, almost everyone in his family teases him about it and asks why he doesn’t dye it, it’s just in his genetics, a lot of the men in his family went gray early, his dad has a full head of WHITE hair 👨🦳. We’ve just got to let people be ❤️
"You should go check yourself!" Damn right they should 👏
I’m 57 and started coloring my hair about 20 years ago not because of greys but because I didn’t like my ash blonde hair surrounded by redheads. I stopped about 5 years ago and love my natural color with greys throughout. Self love comes in all forms and it’s none of anybody’s business how people choose to express it. I think your streak is sexy 😊
I have had gray hair since I was 7 years old and I am 45 now. Yes I do color my hair but there there have been many periods of my life when I have not colored my hair however I love changing my hair and having different colors and styles. I believe it’s personal preference and I really dislike that we live in a society that people feel so comfortable to put one another down instead of lifting one another up. We really need to come together to support and celebrate each other’s differences. A rule of thumb that I always tell my children is if it doesn’t hurt you or someone else than it’s most likely ok!
I'm 48, have been covering grays since I was 22, and finally started growing out my gray a little while before covid hit. There were 2 main reasons - mostly because I was just tired of dealing with the inconvenience and money outlay, but also because I have curly hair and I felt like the color was doing damage to my already fragile hair. Plus, covering gray to a medium/dark, cool-toned brown without it pulling red after a week or two is rough. Now, I love my fully white/silver/gray curls, get a ton of positive comments, and my hair is the healthiest it's ever been.
You always come across as someone who is just their genuine self, and I'm here for it. People who try to put their own crap onto others are rude and hurtful, and need to look inward to understand why it makes them feel better to belittle people. There's enough out there tearing us down, without us doing it to one another. If they don't like you, they know where the exit is. You keep being you, beautiful inside and out. ❤
I’m so glad you gave a voice to this issue. I’ll be 64 next week and have been bleaching my hair blonde since I was 18. EVEN at my age gray is frowned upon. I follow several IG accounts of women choosing to embrace their gray hair and they have had SO many negative comments. And imo these woman look stunning with the gray when you compare their befores. Coloring your hair or going gray should be and IS a personal choice. Getting judged and shade for choosing gray is so crazy to me. Women have been being told how to look for centuries. We’ve come so far and to have a WOMAN call out another woman on her appearance is a betrayal. Plain and simple. We’re supposed to lift each other up not tear each other apart. I’ve stayed blonde from peer pressure. And I’m sick and tired of it. Going gray we regretfully expect negative comments from men which we shouldn’t but to get them from other women is absolutely insane to me.
I would never disrespect another woman who feels beautiful with her appearance choices. I applaud her! Yay for her for having good self esteem!! And 9 times out of ten I see beauty and if I don’t I keep it to myself. I would never tear down another woman because she didn’t choose my choice. It’s egomaniacal and an utter lack of manners to do so.
So thank you for highlighting (no pun intended) this controversial issue!! 👏🏻🙌😘
Following the silver sisters hashtag has helped me a lot
YAY!! I'm 44 and going grey too.. have been since my late 20's but major surgery accelerated them. I have been um-ing and ah-ing over whether to colour over them.. but I'm happy with seeing them. If I want a change, I will just use a tonal glaze to omph things up a notch but still showing the grey. Love you Angie!! 😎✌🏼💋💜💜💜💜🇬🇧
Great conversation and topic. I have naturally dark black hair and I used to pluck every grey hair in my 20s. Now in my late 30s and I'm letting them grow in...some days I struggle with it, because it's so stark. But it's so true, it's okay in our society for men to have grey hairs but not women? That's bullshit!
I’m almost 41 and have a sporadic grey hair here and there but I’ve had a white streak of hair (think X-men’s Rogue) since birth. I love it!🥰 when I was a little child I got some teasing about it ( not bullying thank God!) but I’ve always loved my white stripe. Even when I dyed my hair I would protect it so it wouldn’t get dyed too😂. Now I dye my hair even less frequently but sometimes I just do it to make my streak MORE visible 😂😂
That's so cool! Do you happen to have waardenburg syndrome?
@@riven799 😳 honestly I have never heard of it I don’t think so! But I have blue eyes and I get frequent ear infections! But to be honest if we start googling we all find out that we have a million health issues 😂
@@carinam4258 Right 😅
I skipped the grey stage and started getting my first white hairs at around 17. I'm now a mid-30s working mum and couldn't be bothered to race to the hairdresser every time my white hair shows (my natural hair colour is dark brown so the white is very visible). There's too much to do in real life and many other things to worry about. The white hair doesn't define me so I'd rather spend my money and energy on things that bring me and my family joy. 😊 If it bothers someone else, they can just look elsewhere. 😂
I've also FINALLY convinced my mother to grow her hair out. The yellow blonde looks gross with her olive skintone, and going her natural dark brown makes the regrowth stand out way too much, AND NOW! She's finally a lovely white silver and still some pepper in the back 😄 oo and there's this lady at work that looks like a young 40 something year old with platinum grey hair (natural) and looks so so cool. Love it
Shouldn't she choose what color she wants? That's the whole point of this video that we shouldn't be convincing anyone of changing it.
@@steampunk5123 yeah, she chose it, she just needed help ignoring the A-holes telling her to dye it. For like 10yrs she kept saying, "I want to grow my hair out, I want to go grey," and then listened to the pressure of her mum or sister or society and I finally got her to ignore them and she's so happy.
I am a 27yo woman from Sweden and you're actually such an inspiration for me. Good to know that 11-12 years from now, I'll (probably) still be able to be vibrant and embrace life, grey hairs or not ❤️
I started going gray at 11 and using hair color by 15. I continued to go between keeping my hair dark brown to hide white roots or blonde to hide the dark roots. I did this every 3 weeks for 50 years! It finally hit me how expensive this was and, quite honestly, I was tired of doing it. Once my white hair had completely grown out, I started getting compliments about my hair like never before. It was thick, healthy and shiny silver white. It’s been 10 years and only wish I had gotten off the dye/bleach carousel years before I did.
I'm 49 and the gray is coming in. Both of my parents have spectacular heads of gray hair and I'm just going to rock it.
I love your takes on aging and appearance!
Your grey streaks are elegant and interesting. I used the start of the pandemic as the chance to grow out my color while nobody could see my roots and I’m so glad I did. I’ve saved a LOT of money and my skin looks so much softer. I will say, the texture changes and moisture is very important. It’s been fun to see how many friends are doing the same. Girl power, ladies! Our heads; our rules.
I cover my grays because my natural color is so dark, but also because my gray hair is so wiry and kinky. I can't stand the texture of it. For lack of a better description, it's like pubic hair. How do I help the texture of my gray hair to be more normal?
@@DarkFire1536 flat iron? Rollers? Ask your hairdresser.
I also don’t think greys are a ‘problem’. I love your grey streak. I don’t love my greys because they’re sort of sparse in my dark brown hair and make my hair look ashier, but when I keep my hair its natural color, if it bothers me, I don’t try to hide them I just tint them a bit warmer.
I'm with you on the issue of appearance shaming people need to stop being so critical of each other
I love your gray! My sister has had a gray strip in her hair since high school, and she was embarrassed by it. I think it's beautiful and was so happy when she finally embraced the streak. Now gen z kids ask her where she gets it done. Lol
I'm so glad you did this video as it's a reminder that women need to be kinder to one another, lift each other up instead of putting others down and not be so judgemental about the way other women look. It's an individual's choice and how it makes them feel. And you always look absolutely fabulous!!!
When I was in my early 30s, I had a friend who could not wait until she went grey and that perspective stuck with me. While I was resistant by my first greys (late 30s), it’s really been a slow process. I’m 53 and the grey (salt and pepper look is just now becoming noticeable and it’s been great. Im so glad that my friend’s attitude impacted me so much. I’ve been very comfortable with my greys and don’t plan to start. I think it’s ok for a woman to decide or not to do so. I love grey hair on men and women!!
My Grandma was a natural redhead and would die over her grays when she started turning because she had beautiful hair. Someone told her she look “wrong” with her red hair dyed, so she stopped dyeing it because then it made her feel bad. It still infuriates me that someone would ruin her self confidence like that. I miss her so much.❤
I noticed recently on IG that a friend had gone totally grey and my first reaction was wow she's way too young for that, but my second was wow she looks stunning! Grey hair suits her way better than blonde ever did. Idk why people can't just keep their negativity to themselves.
Thanks for talking about this. I started going white at 13. Genetics. By 16 it was bad enough and kids at school would make fun of me. My mom finally let me start dying it and I have been ever since. I'm 47 now. Once the Panini (thanks for that word) hit I stopped. I still haven't been back to a salon. Not gonna lie, it was shocking to see what my natural hair looks like now once it really started to grow out. It's mostly white and silver with some odd shade of brown underneath. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I don't feel like myself and think that it does make me look older than my years. In general I look younger than my actual age. Who knows what I'll end up doing, but either way, nobody should be made to feel bad whether they embrace or color their grays! It's just silly. It's personal preference and style. Love your channel, Angie. 🖤
Thankyou for addressing this. I have been dying my hair since I was a teenager thanks to premature greying via my father’s family. I’m 46 now and so tired of destroying my hair with dye just because society holds women to ridiculous beauty standards. My father passed away last year and I feel that finally allowing my natural silver to show is a way of honouring his memory and a special bond I will always have with him and his family.
I started going gray right after a nightmare labor and delivery of my first baby. I was 22... I EARNED every single strand of gray on my head! I honestly think your streak is gorgeous, I honestly thought that streak was deliberately put/left there. Just the way your hair grows and falls naturally it works!
Your beautiful natural hair is literally why I started watching you.
I love grey hair. Honestly it gives so much character. White too. Stunning.
Love this video!! I also started going grey in my early 20’s I’m now 45 and just started letting my grey grow out about 6 months ago and I regret nothing lol I love it ❤
Thank you so much for bringing up a topic like that! I'm 29 and I have a lot of grey hairs for about 6 years...everyone tell me "you should fix your hair", "try something different, you're young" etc and I really don't get it! And the most important is that THEY don't get it. How they can affect one someone's psychology and self-confidence under the guise of "caring"... Your perspective is so encouraging and motivating which will surely help many of us❤
Embrace gray hair 💪
I completely agree with you, I think embracing and aging gracefully is beautiful 🤗 everyone walks different paths and your journey is yours alone and is beautiful 🥰
Every time I watch you, I think about how much I love your hair. I love that you're growing it out!
I started finding grey hairs when I was 24. I don't really watch Jen Luv anymore, but I supported her decision to start going grey. It looked great. Yours does, too. I am 10 years older than you both, but I'm not quite ready to stop covering my greys. I just do my natural dark blonde all over, and maybe start going grey in my late 60s. I think you and I both are just doing what we want with our own hair, and no one else needs to have an opinion on it. Have a good Monday, beautiful!
I was 25 when I saw my first grey I’m in my late 40’s now I was never blessed with the coveted grey streak though
It's absolutely fine. If you feel like doing it, do it. I think, in my own experience, you gotta do what you really wish to do. One morning I woke up, and just felt I am ready to be a silver vixen 😉
@@Takearisk05 I’ve never dyed my hair to cover the grey it was always because I wanted to be a ginger
i’m 28 and i’m going grey and i’m excited for it, it looks cool imo
Thank you for this video! My mom and I recently had this conversation and I like that my mom has always embraced her greys since I was very young.
I LOVE grey and white hair! I think it's absolutely gorgeous. 💜💙💚
I agree, there’s nothing wrong with going with your natural hair color at it own natural rate.
Your makeup looks so beautiful here. Colourpop does so well with their formulas.❤🙂
I have had greys since high school. I do dye it when I feel like it but not that worried about it either. You are spot on with regards to women vs men and grey hair. Hope you enjoyed your trip. We love stopping by the Blue Lotus when we're out that way - great people, wine, and mead!
I’m totally buzzing to start getting greys and wrinkles, I never thought I would live long enough to get “old” and every sign/reminder I have that I’m getting older is such a treat. I really love what you’ve said about how ageing is a privilege and the way society treats getting older especially for women is simply ridiculous. The idea that our natural bodies are inherently unkempt is just absurd.
I also have embraced my grey and love it! You’re simply gorgeous! It in no way defines who we are!
huge agree with you on all of this!!! but also… something about the grey looks so beautiful on you, at least in my opinion! I also looove when women who are blessed with whiter hair rather than gray dye it pastel purple! so fun!
i definitely noticed and i absolutely love it! you literally have natural highlights that coordinate with your skin tone. go angie!!! 💪🏾
You're such a smart and well spoken woman! I know I follow you for your makeup but you really give out solid advice. You wear the gray hair well. I honestly did not notice it. I hope more and more women learn to be more accepting of themselves!
I’ve embraced my gray ever since it started in my early 30’s. I think it’s beautiful and I think yours is too. I personally feel like natural hair is so liberating and easy. I love it! ✨✨🖤
I love my gray hair and I love yours. They are my silver strands of wisdom and I have earned every one of them. Honestly, I am into being who you are and letting others be who they are. Wear makeup if you want, or don’t. Wear pants, dresses, whatever, if you aren’t hurting anyone then nobody has the right to judge you. Keep being you!!!!❤
gray hair are so ok. and big streak in the front looks so cool.
Fab video Angie! This is the first time I’ve seen anyone discussing this on their channel. Like you say it’s personal choice. I hate seeing my greys but I really don’t mind my wrinkles too much whereas others would have Botox or surgery to fix them. Why is any of this an issue? Beauty comes from confidence & personality, not from superficial looks. We all need to support other women to be pro-ageing not anti-ageing. Xx
And if I can make a request: Could you please do an updated video on the BEST MAKEUP BRUSHES, both premium and affordable? I've been buying mine from Amazon and I think that's where a lot of us go wrong. It would also be awesome if you could give insight into the different brushes you use to create your looks because it looks as if you only use a few. Thank you!
I love the gray streak in front. It's like a highlight. I like your haircolor and it mixes with the gray wrll imo.
So glad you went to Fredericksburg, and I am sure you had fun with your family.
You're hair looks great. 53 years old now, and still bright ginger, but started getting a few white hairs at my temples due to stress. I hated my hair when I was young, but now embrace my color.
This is a hilarious subject for me. . . I NEVER colored my hair until I hit 70. For some reason my grays started concentrating on both sides of my forehead and I felt like I resembled a vampire! 😅😅 So I box dyed it. . . 😮big mistake! I then asked my salon to give me some lowlights to take away the one dimensional color (which was very dark!). The result was BLOND highlights! 😳 Moral of the story-I should have left my hair alone! So when it finally grows out, I will once again LOVE my grays. . . I didn’t have that many to start with. 😆😆❤ Thanks for sounding off about this!
I’m so glad that you decided to talk about this! I started by going gray journey this year and I’m still growing out my short curly hair. Loved hearing about your journey.
I love it. I am going a little grey too ( am 43) and I dye my hair… I will keep doing it. I have a friend who is in her mid fifties who’s had her natural grey hair for few years now. I love it. You go girl. I totally understand what you’re saying.
I absolutely love your gray hair, I think the gray streak in the front looks so elegant 🥰
And I‘m 23 and I also have some gray hair and I love it …
Actually I hope I’m completely gray when I’m in your age, so I just can slap blue color on it without bleaching 🤷🏻♀️
I think your hair looks beautiful. I started getting gray hair since I was 27. I dyed it for 25 years. The pandemic hit and I stopped dying it. I love my grey hair. I get so many more compliments nowadays. Again, your hair looks beautiful and suits you.
listen, whoever says anything about your hair needs to go worry about their lives, because YOUR hair is NONE of their concerns. i LOVE your hair. i’ve always loved your little greys growing in and i think that they make you even more gorgeous tbh. i’ve always LOVED grey hair. my aunt on my dad’s side was fully grey/white by the time she was 30 and she kept it that way, and it looks so beautiful, and i always wanted to have hair like her. i have a few greys and i have dark black hair. my mom’s hair color is the same as yours and her greys are beautiful and she HATES them soooo much!!! i think it’s awesome that you love your hair as it is and your comfortable in your own skin, and i admire that so very much about you. 🧡🧡🧡
I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now, I love you, I don’t really do makeup often. I really didn’t put that much thought into what you were or weren’t doing with your hair, I like the grey on you and it didn’t even occur to me that you weren’t dying your hair until I saw the title of this video 😂 it’s just hair, after all... I have had greys since I was 13 or so, at 35 I have stopped covering my grey because the upkeep is insane with my dark brown hair, they’re about 3 inches of natural growth at this point and I love it. Really appreciate your grwm, the variety in your content. Thank you 🌸❤️🌸
I stopped colouring during the first covid lockdown. So liberating and I get lots of compliments on my natural colour.
I love your grey streak and I also love that you're true to yourself.
Love your grey streak. I used to have one…but sadly my hair loss has done away with much of it. I decided to grey 5 years ago…and I wish I were greyer…but would not go back to dying my hair. It is in such fabulous shape!
You have the right attitude! I am 59…and appreciate you.
Oh Angie, please just ignore all the negative comments regarding your gray hairs!!! Your hair looks lovely. I am partially gray, and I love it. No more colour or highlights. I'm pleasing myself, not the rest of the world, it's that simple. My best friend is a hairdresser, and she has shamed me for no longer having colour. I was left gobsmacked! After all it is my personal decision, and I'm happy with it, that's all that matters.
So stay as lovely as you are, colorful makeup looks gorgeous with your hair. 👍💖💕
I'm hoping mine turns to a strip like yours! It's looking like it might 🤞🏻
I just turned 39 last month, and I haven't touched my hair with color in 2 years! It's so freeing! And I'm a licensed cosmetologist lol. I have a few grays, but you know what? I just don't care! I only have like 2 inches left of my color. It is in such great shape now. It's healthy, bouncy, it's just awesome! I may do something one day, but I was just over the coloring. Even though I colored my hair myself, I don't have the expense of the products or TIME it took anymore. I still style it, but now it styles better! I'm loving it so much! Good for you girl!
Once again thank you for your honesty and sharing how people react. It’s so true how society makes women feel lazy or ugly and unkept for going gray . I seen it for years being a hairstylist. I would just always recommend ways to make the process easier by blending in as it grew out just to help with adjusting tones with the skin . Grays also make the hair more unruly as it is more course . We women need to be kind to each other.
"That's misogyny. You should go check yourself." That's all that needs to be said 💯
I've been loving seeing your natural hair/gray hairs come in - I think it looks very lovely! I'm sure that you DO NOT take trolls too seriously, but for anyone who does - ignore them please. We all get to do whatever we want!💜
I'm 2 months away from 40. My hair started turning grey when I was 24. I hit perimenopause at 32. It's genetics. In my case, like mother, like daughter.
I have indeed dyed my hair. Purple, teal, blue, pink and fushia. I have never dyed my hair too cover my grey's I dye it for the fun of it. Then I do my makeup to match.
I have dark brown hair and started getting grays in my 20s, and actually thought they were cool. But I succumbed to peer pressure. In my 40s and dyed my hair for the next 15 years. I just couldn’t chase that skunk line every couple of weeks anymore…but it was HARD to get through the transition. Finally cutting the last of the dye off was such an amazing feeling of freedom. I LOVE my silky, unique salt and pepper silver sparkles. My 37 year old daughter loves my hair so much she has decided to not start coloring. Yes, I too get Amazingly nasty comments…luckily they don’t bother me. I do believe that as more women embrace their silver it will be less associated with the elderly. Having said that I support anyone who colors their hair…I do my 77 year old Aunts roots for her every month. Live and let live ❤
Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more girl!!! Xoxo preach sis!!! I am 40 and not a single grey but my mom and sis went grey super early and it’s beautiful!! Pro aging here ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
I think you look fabulous with your gray hair coming in! One year ago I decided to stop colouring my hair, so I shaved my head and have been growing my beautiful gray hair out. I have been wearing wigs until it’s long enough for me to do something with it. Gray hair really makes my blue eyes pop!
I was in a play several years ago where I wore a gray wig. My eyes looked amazing and I've been eagerly waiting ever since for the gray to come in.
Thank you for this video. Brains, courage and looks....that's You my dear. I am 70 and if it were not for the long, painful growing out phase I would go grey. I really don't care what others think.
WOW, here I was thinking that you look so fabulous. I applaud you for your choice and you should not listen to negative comments. You look amazing and you are a wonderful woman Angelica. I adore you!
I'm really glad to hear you talk about issues that are kinda social like that. I remember my mother had a similar grey stripe around 40 as well, and I always thought it was so pretty, but I remember other family members asking her why she doesn't cover it, she would just brush it off.
Thanks for addressing this, Angie. How people want to handle going grey is a personal decision and others should respect that. If you don't want to color your greys, that's your perogative, but in no way does that make someone lazy or unkempt! Like you, I have been dealing with greys since a young age - 18! - and it's just genetic. I have chosen to color mine all these millions of years, but that's just me. If you don't want to color your greys, that's ok, just as it is for someone who wants to color theirs. Love you, Angie!
Yes to all of this. Everyone needs to recognize and address their own misogyny
I’ve always said that when I start going gray I’m going to stop dying my hair (which I’ve been doing since I was 14). I was too afraid to go to the salon during COVID, and I happened to start going gray then, so I went for it. It’s graying in streaks like yours and I’m kinda loving it. I’ve been through it and I’ve earned them! 😊
I'm so glad you talked about this! The ageism used against women really is just misogyny, I fully agree. It's gross that people have been commenting on your looks like that, I'm so sorry, I think your hair looks great
Thanks for talking about this ❤❤❤ these sideways comments are a form of coercion-intentional or not. Your natural color is stunning.
I started graying at 17 and was mostly white by 35. I dyed it from 25 until 3 year ago. Letting it grow out was empowering. I love how I look now. My hair is healthier and thicker than ever. It’s a form of rebellion and I’m fine with that.
I've been coloring my hair copper (some type of natural-ish ginger hair) because I'm extremely pale and wanted to add a little life to my coloring. As I was aging (I'm now 30), I got scared that I would miss my first white hair. It felt like a milestone. But I managed to see them peak in between coloring and I was happy to be able to notice them. I keep coloring my hair for the same reason I use to, because I like myself as a ginger, but I expect one day to go back to my light brown hair and let it all be natural. I think it's great we can just all choose to do what we want, it's so important to have control over our own bodies. Having a choice is so crucial. Also, please, people stop pushing your insecurities and beliefs in other people's throat. Do what you believe is good for you, let other people choose for themselves.
I'm in the exact same boat! I love being a "ginger", but at 46 yo, I have been considering going natural light brown again (both my sisters are blondes)...so this was a refreshing conversation!
Im 31 and I've had grey hair since I was 14. Do you girl! You're beautiful regardless of what these people say!!!
You look lovely with this makeup. I have grays since 17. I was dying my hair since then, and now I did not use permanent color for ~9 months. It looks like I may keep using my semi-permanent neon colors to dye grays while keeping my creative neon hair color during it grows up. When I decide to change from neon to ash blonde (I was always dreaming about your natural color and it fits me well, I tried) :) - my grays will be here. I'm of your age, 1 year younger. So I support your every word here. Happy we share the same view :3
I love my Grey hair ,I grew tired of the cost and upkeep of my hair and I only get it trimmed maybe once a year...I love your Grey hair so good for you for not caring what others say👍
I agree with you. Going gray is a personal choice. I'm 49 & have blonde hair with grays. I think I look fine & don't have the patience to dye my hair.
I quit just dying my hair period. I found that I don’t care if I become grey. Do you boo!
I started going gray when the world went on lockdown in 2020. I had been coloring my hair consistently since i was about 16, so i really didn't know i was going gray until my roots grew out for the year and a half i couldn't get my hair colored. I was so excited, and decided to stop covering my gray. My only wish is that 1. i could make more of my hairs gray, and 2. my non-gray hair was more black instead of brown. Other than that, i love my gray. It sparkles silver just like fairy hair. As a bonus, my husband kids like it too!
I agree, it’s not that deep AND it actually looks cute on you. Very stylish.
I think you would look amazing with grey hair 'cause you are already beautiful so it will actually suit you.
Love you Angie.
I started going grey when I was 14. I continued to dye my hair for years and I am finally ready to embrace the grey.
I love your gray streak so much. I’ve been envious of it for some time now.
I've been watching you for a couple of years and until now I have never noticed your hair. Embrace what you have been given. I'm 51 and had Grey hair at 18 only in the last couple of years I've decided to color my hair for me no one else
