I love the sisterhood of women who have grey hair. Being grey is freeing! Great video!

I'm so over hair color!! And since being isolated due to the virus, I haven't touched up roots for 4 months, and turning 66 this month, I thought "why not?" ... but also, "umm can I do this?" I came looking for motivation and courage and I believe I found it. Thank you ❤️

Everything you said here has happened to me! Never have I had so many compliments from strangers (men and women, young and old) or have people stop me in stores to ask me about it. And I will keep my hair long. Grey does not equal old and granny cut!

I also stopped coloring in February when the world shut down and never dreamed I would choose to stop dying my hair. I started dying at 40 and will be 65 soon. Listening to other women especially you younger girls talking about allowing the natural process to occur has given me a new outlook, a freeing sensation, and curiosity about what my final outcome will be.

I’m 14 months In and am liberated by revealing my hair colour. My hair is more silky and my scalp is healthier - no more constant itch from hair dye. Men love it, I love it, friends love it. This is me and why on earth did it take me so long to feel authentic enough for this to happen. I’m in my early 60’s

[skorpie]

Same! I’m going on three years now since I ditched the dye and am never going back! Your natural highlights are beautiful.

[Mmmmkaaay]

I have 3" of growth and I can't believe how beautiful it looks. I should have done this decades ago.

My mom went completely gray at 73 in 2020. She completely cut it off short. I’m going gray now. 4 months in and holding strong.

Inner work. This is my struggle right now. I want to let my sparkles shine, but I'm self-conscious and concerned about looking older, but you look amazing!

[teresagould]

You look absolutely beautiful honey. I’ve just started my journey, well 4. Months into it. So lovely to see a young lady looking brilliant. Thank you xx

[shellahussain]

I just want to jump through my screen and give you such a big hug. You are stunning both inside and out. Thank you for being you.

Loved this video. Inspiring. It’s unfair that men are told to embrace aging. But women are expected and pressured to cover the grays.

[tamaralewis-campbell]

I'm going to be 56 in August and I've always looked young for my age. I'm 2 months into my no-dye journey and I'm so happy I started this process. I cannot wait to see the final result in 2-3 years. I love your channel and you are really motivating me to keep going. Thank you!

[danellebuckler]

Wow, I so needed to hear this today. I'm 1 year in and I was almost ready to give up I felt so ugly just looking at my brunette hair with blonde high lights, and 5 inches of grey on top. It looks awful, but I feel I can do it now. Thank you for the encouragement!

[TamarasTimelessBeauty]

I cut the last of the dye off December 2019 and am never going back! I get way more hair compliement now than ever before. Loving my silvers!

[lindamarocco]

I have your skin coloring!...63 yo and 12 weeks dye free!...so happy I found your channel tonight!... you have gave me so much encouragement!!!... I love your hair!.. you are a beautiful woman!... stay healthy and safe!.💜💜💜💜💜

I like the effect purple shampoo and conditioner has had on my hair . It's more of a steel grey now . Since going grey I think my hair is actually more interesting looking .

[theirishprincess]

I'm 67 and started going gray in January. Then, the lockdown started. Perfect timing. Lol. I'm now beginning my 6th month. I love my silver. It's coming in silver almost white. I'm very happy with it. I'm happy that we have support finally! Now is the time to go gray!
I'm really proud of you. What an amazing testimony. Thank you!

[terribartlett]

This is the most helpful and inspiring video on going grey that I’ve seen! I have been considering going grey for a year, and (after 3months in quarantine)have finally made an appointment to get a short cut to begin the process. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights!

[crammia]

I stopped dying last year cause I felt the same with the coloring process - I hated the dark, fake color the first week after coloring and only enjoyed the color for the next week or two. I am at the point where I can really see where this is going. Great video and thanks for the inspiration!
