People look soooo much better when they let their natural greys grow in. The key is having your cuts/trims be in point and really keeping hair healthy.

You look so lovely in your natural color.

Thanks so much for this. Im 53 and fed up with dying my hair. Im growing out my dye. I hate around 2 inches of grey hair so a long way to go.
I always thought grey hair made a person look older but you look amazing.
I hope i do too

Your hair is gorgeous. Looks like you spent a fortune on beautiful silver highlights and it looks so healthy.

My Lord her natural colour is cool ! …just gorgeous on her, it’s amazing how our natural Grey hair colour is rarely bad on us, like box dye can be ..our natural colour just seems to suit our skin colour our eyes etc

Same exact story for me except add the hair dye stains that spotted my bathroom cabinets! I tried to bleach a few highlights for the transition and wish I hadn't although it helped with the blending of the sharp lines. But now that I have left my hair alone, I absolutely love it. It feels so liberating to be free of coloring. I get tons of compliments on the color. I am so happy that so many women are choosing to go natural. On days I feel like giving up, I just look at the many pictures of the gray beauties online and make it my determination to stay the course. Ladies, women have gold highlights and the silver ones are just as beautiful!

I’ve been growing my grey for two years now and it’s absolutely the best decision I made. I love it

Becca, thank you for passing the light!
I'm also a graphic designer, not as young as you are. I'm 51 now.
I'm also going grey (the process began when I was 14 years old). I also definitively WON'T cut my hair short. NO WAY!
Whenever I feel down, I look for "going grey" stories on YouTube to re-motivate myself. Yours is one of the best! Thank you!
Braiding my hair in French or Dutch style braids mixes the grey hair with the red-hair (I used natural Henna for almost my whole life) in a very interesting way.
Such braids plus long nice earrings.
You might give them a try. ;)

Your hair is stunning. I have a very similar story - grey at an early age, colored my hair for years, pandemic happens and boom...here we are over a year later and haven’t looked back since. I wonder how many other women made the same decision?!

[citygirljody]

I've had grays since 19 and 35 years of coloring my roots ended 5 years ago with blonde highlights and root sprays. Nine months later I was silver! I'm white silver but I often have the most subtle pink or rose gold to my hair. I get so many nice comments and compliments about my silver or pinkish hair all the time! You have to do it when it's right for YOU!

[Enyiah]

Stunning! Being your authentic self inside and out is priceless and it's all about "acceptance", isn't it?! I am 7 months in my growing out. My hair doesn't grow fast because I am much older than you. But I, too, am embracing the process! You look fabulous, my dear! 🌼

[anjupal]

Awesome Becca. You look lovely my silver sister

[nobodybutHIM]

Wow i love your gray hair very nice shades. I am 54 years old, in 4 months going on transitioning. I do not have even pattern of gray hair i wish they were all gray but not. But decided to go on and embrace them whatever the result. Happy to be free from chemicals.

[seraphimcelestial]

Your silver hair is beautiful, elegant, shiny healthy. Wow

[JuliyaYasmin]

Wow, you look amazing with those greys, Becca!!! 😍 Great decision!

[brittaniesch]

Love it! I'm from Tennessee too. I just decided to stop dying my hair last week. I'm so excited to see what my natural color is.

[annette]

Thank you so much! I have the same problem. I'm 42 years old and every month I think about stop colouring. Without success until now. 🙃 I hope your video helps me slowly to get to a new decision. Greetings from Germany!

[BiodanzaMalta]

I'm at the same stage of silver growth. The tone of your silver is beautiful. Really really lovely!

[beccawildsmith]

Thank you so much for including me in your video and for telling our silver-haired journeys, Anjana!!! Grateful for you!

[LoriNorton-cwmv]
