WARNING: GREY HAIR INFO

Shanus — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 14:24:35 GMT

Any discussion of grey hair usually ends up in a heated argument. Your choice to skip the thread.

I was on YouTube and found a great “tuber (?)” to follow...Nikol Johnson. She’s a makeup artist, stylist, model & gorgeous and has grey hair. She has videos re: changing/adjusting makeup, transitioning to grey, best hair products for grey hair, etc. There’s also general info about clothing colors that’ll look best.

If you are a Silver Fox, or thinking about it, please check it out.

@Shanus I don't have enough grey hair yet to even consider becoming a "silver fox" so I'll continue to color my hair blonde as I always have. I do think that grey hair (done right) looks pretty on some women, and I can certainly understand anyone becoming weary of the coloring process. (I color my own roots every 4 weeks.)

Since I'm still all brown in the back with only some salt and pepper around my face, I doubt I will ever be totally silver, and I don't like the natural "2-tone" look, so I guess I'll have to keep this up until I can no longer hold my arms up long enough to do the job (I refuse to pay the high cost of a professional doing it).

Thanks for posting. I’m transitioning to whatever color it’s called. Gray, white, silver.

My stylist is helping me.

@Shanus Thank you! I am a 5 year silver fox.... and always looking for good hair products that keep my hair white and do not yellow it.

@OKPrincess I did mine by a stylist’s intervention. She “pulled” all the dark brown dye out of hair until the palest yellow color and then put on a white/silver toner to match my roots....been naturally white since age 30 and coloring for 38 yrs. every 3 wks. at that point. It’s so freeing to schedule a haircut and not panic if appt. for root touch up is not available.

I'm 64 and have 99% dark brown hair. Only an occasinal gray. The only color that I've been adding is to add some highlights a few times a year to brighten it up a bit around my face.

I lost the battle of the grey many years ago. I decided the best way to handle it was to just embrace it. I use Morrocan Infusion Shine Shampoo. Everyone tells me I have beautiful hair. My hair turned white. I know some women have a yellowish tint or a true grey. I love my grey hair. I earned every strand of it.

Thanks for the comments. I’m determined no more root cover-up and my TB wig was either uncomfortable or too small so it went back to the Q.

My Dad had white hair - gorgeous wavy hair that was whiter than snow. It was turning when he was young when I was born.Started turning from the temple and moved rapidly throughout hiss head. He was the most handsome of men, and I loved his gorgeous snowy white head. I wished for my mousy red/brown hair to change to something as wonderful as his. By the time I was 35, my wish came true. White like snow. I've always loved it, and I can honestly say I never wanted anhthing different. It's still white, no yellowing and I can think of nothing I'd rather have. I thank God for giving me the genetics to have just what I wanted to spend most of my adult life sporting. It suits me 100%. If you don't like white hair, or if you're afraid it will age you and you feel you've got to resort to dye, i feel sad for you. You're missing one of aging's greatest treasures.

Never thought Twin Sister would stop having her hair colored. This past week informed me our last visit together she loved my grey so much that's it.

Personal choice...no one should be shamed one way or the other.

To me what's unattractive-women shaming other women.

Having been gray/white for several years now I use Shiny Silver Shampoo and Conditoner, except when I want to "fix" my hair to go out then I use Ion Curly hair products.

Products do not turn your gray hair yellow it does that on its own. The purple/blue product keeps the yellow out.

I did not change my makeup at all, nor my clothing colors. I wear what I like.

By the way I am vintage blond, not gray.

@Imaoldhippie Vintage Blonde 😁. My stylist told me what yellows grey hair is chlorine, burning hair w/ hot styling tools & no heat protectant first, sometimes the sun, being in a smokey area & colored shampoo...not purple which removes some of it.

@Shanus..................yes all that causes yellowing and so does medications.

@Shanus

She’s really pretty!

Whenever I go to a new channel, I always sort videos by

’Most Popular’ first...then the ‘Oldest’. Her hair was really dark

for her older videos...the grey really compliments her energy.

Re: WARNING: GREY HAIR INFO

Imaoldhippie — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 16:08:53 GMT

@Shanus................no I dont know which meds causes it so I just assume all of it. When I stopped coloring my gray I was on blood pressure meds and it started turning yellow, dont know it that was the cause or not. Since a beautician friend of my recommened the Shiny Silver I have not had any yellow.

@sidsmom ITA. My hair was that dark, too. It took 6-8 hrs. to get color off to get to the silver I have now. She also has my bushy darker eyebrows that makes me feel better about mine.
