I have a very short pixie cut. It was costing me a FORTUNE to cover my “silvers” every 5 weeks. I decided to embrace them but it took a few weeks to get used to. Now people literally ask me “how do they do your colour?”. I tell them, it’s all me. Go for it girls. Best thing I ever did. You never know what’s under there! It’s so freeing!

My hair is silver. I am 65. I don’t expect to look 40. It’s alright to age naturally. People should do what they want. If I wanted to dye mine I would.
I am a 2 time cancer survivor and I’m thankful for every day I’m alive and cancer free. Old is a privilege many don’t have the chance to experience.

That client who went grey... and her response brought tears to my eyes!! She looked gorgeous!!! I'm going down the 'highlights/lowlights' path... but looking forward to blending that grey and embracing it. Thankyou for a positively uplifting video.

Just joined your club. Dyeing my hair was such a chore and became expensive. Now have a head of silver curls. Wash, mousse it and squeeze in curls. A pick can be used to shape and give symmetry. Love it.

What a relief it is to see this. I’ve been thinking of finally letting myself go gray. I hate dying my hair and am so tired of doing it. I was going to dye my hair this weekend but this was the push I needed to set me free! Thank you🙌🏽

My Grandmother was completely gray at 30. I am 56 and I am starting o go gray and I have embraced it. Being gray doesn’t make you old, but your attitude does.

Dye it, don't dye it. Do what makes sense for you. At some point it doesn't really matter anyway. Do what makes you happy.

That's one of the best transformations I've ever seen!

I am 73 year old female and still have some of my brown hair with some gray on the sides. I have never dyed my hair as I thought it was too expensive and too much trouble. I think gray hair is beautiful and just another color. Don't dye your hair to please anyone. You are beautiful the way you are and with your natural hair color.

I'm 64 and I stopped dyeing my hear in 2020 due to covid. I stopped worrying about my gray hair after all, going natural has been positive.

I stopped dying my hair a couple of years ago. Best thing I ever did. I have lots of compliments I’ve even got two of my friends to transition. 😍

[mariannawie]

I am 28 and have a lot of gray hair. I stopped dying it one year ago and feel super attractive :) I think it is all up to your courage and style! Don't let some people around you or hairdressers to shame your white hair :)

When I took my kid to the hospital for oral surgery, one of the doctors had this long natural silver curly hair. It looked soooo beautiful. I recently cut all my hair out because I wanted to transition to gray faster. I originally wanted to get my hair blended into my natural gray, but that would’ve been very expensive. I love my grays and can’t wait to grow it out. At least to be able to tie it back 😁

I am 2.5 months in & very excited about switching to my natural color. My silver hairs are healthy & shiny. My dyed hair is dull & lifeless. Good bye dye & hello to all the money I was spending at the salon!

I am a hairdresser and I LOVE when people want to work with their natural colour!
Those models look gorgeous and the change in their skin and how it glows when they have their natural colour. Wow

I Embraced my salt & pepper hair 2 years ago no regrets grey is a colour not an age - my mantra 😊

[BeaunaturelleFeb]

They all look great with their grey hair, but Dana.... 😍😍😍😍😍, she looks SUPERB!! Great cut and colour. She looks so much happier, and relaxed, not to mention chic. You go girls!!!

[packrcch]

[Lovinglife]

I am not "letting myself go", I am "setting myself free". 18 months and I look fabulous.

[Ruthiebaby]

I just got all choked up when Dana said there was something real deep going on! I'm going to the salon at the end of the week for the same thing. I'm sick of dying my hair dark, I started getting the odd grey hair when I was 17, now I'm 49 at the weekend its time for change!
