I use a natural shampoo and that's it. No conditioner, no heat. My hair is thick and soft. When I cut the died hair off and allowed my hair to grow out naturally, I realized that when my hair is healthy it's very straight and much nicer than all the ghd straightener use I put it through!
You have given me the inspiration to ditch the dye! Why did it never occur to me that 30 years of coloring my hair could be the problem with hair loss, weird texture, lifeless hair??!! I’m motivated to find out what I’ve been working so hard to cover up. Thank you for all the terrific information.❤
Oh that’s awesome to hear @minini5571. I am so I happy I could inspire you to find out what beauty lies beneath. 😊 Best of luck, I am sure it will be beautiful. ❤️
Thank you so much! I am 43 and started my transition to gray in January. I have close to jet black hair and am patiently trying to just let it grow out naturally. I have already started to see the changes but it's nice to know that it's normal and part of the journey!
I love the hairstyle you have. Got my first grey's at 26. Now I'm 38 and have grey streaks. It's funny, since I stopped dying my hair and allowed the grey, people actually think I'm younger than I am 🤯🥳
Thank you. It is amazing what Mother Nature is capable of, I always say, she knows exactly what she is doing when it comes to skin, eyes, and hair color. :)
@@QuickSilverHair oh yes I completely agree! It took me a while to get to know my true colours because I spent many years wearing ten tons of makeup and dying my hair. I love being natural now ☺️
Thank you for this video..I quit coloring my hair almost 3 months ago..I have short hair but had my hair cut into a short pixie cut, on Friday..I no longer have blonde hair..My hair is white in front and into the crown , but the back is dark, especially at the nape..You and your hair , are gorgeous..
You are so great explaining everything about grey hair. I try to grow my grey hair because of hormones changes and loosing my hair very frustrating process.
Thank you. Yes it can be very frustrating when there is hair loss involved. Have you checked in with a hormone specialist. Bioidentical hormones can be very helpful.
Your hair is so pretty!! I think your facial coloring and eyes are very complimentary to the gray, some people are not so lucky. 💕 Edited to add: you don't look a day over 35 or so, when you started talking about going through menopause I was shocked!😳
Thank you. And from helping thousands of women transition to gray I can honestly say, I have never seen Mother Nature get it wrong where hair color, eye color, and skin tones are concerned. I started going gray at 13…I often say age and hair color have zero things in common.
@@QuickSilverHair , Some ladies look washed out (but it may just be my old eyes), my mom has very red tones in her skin and her gray looks harsh at times (it is very white, not silver). Your coloring is just very complimentary, not sure mine will be so flattering (when it finally grows all the way out), but there is always makeup. 👍🏻
@@mrnt1257 , I'm giving mine until my birthday (in May) to grow out enough to see at least a bit of what it would look like colorwise. I am liking what little I have grown out so far (about 1/2 inch) but I think I really need 6-7 more months to get a good look. You can always go back to dyeing if you don't find the color flattering, some ladies just don't like what they see when they get some good growth. No shame in dye if you really can't stand gray. 🤷🏻♀️
@@mrnt1257 I very seriously doubt your natural color is ugly!!! It certainly wasn’t my intention in this video to steer you away from wanting to grow out your natural color. More of a tutorial of the possibilities. Not everything I said is true for everyone. You will never know what you’ve got until you grow it out, and you may be very happy with it. And as my husband always reminded me during my grow out, just get there and if you hate it you know exactly where to go to dye it back the way you feel your best. You could be covering up something really really wonderful.
Still learning lots of excellent information from you, Joli! The difference between UV and SPF protection was logical but I hadn’t reasoned it out in my mind, but you explained it well! Sooo important to protect both the scalp and the hair! Again, thank you! 😃
@@QuickSilverHair Awe thank you ! Your words are truly golden , I am learning a lot from you, your videos are soooo helpful, I can’t wait to feel free !
I stopped coloringy hair 6 months ago and just letting the gray take over, and I've noticed a ton of new growth, it's very soft and fine. My hair is waist length and wavy. But iam worried that the new silver hair won't have a curl pattern
That’s great!!! Welcome!!! You’ll have to wait it out until your hair is most of the way grown out. Keep taking great care of it and maybe there are there still and might be a little different.
Mine will take close to three years at least (really looking forward to that...😫). Wish I had the guts to just shave my head. Right now it will be a mix of light copper (semi permanent color), almost black (natural color) and gray. 😆
I am 16 months into my transition. I'm still seeing hair loss, even though I also see new sprouts. I wonder how long it will take for my hair to stop falling out.
Did you happen to have an illness, surgery, Covid? You could have hair loss because of that. You can also be thinning because of menopause. There are several reasons for hair loss, I have a complete guide on this topic, maybe you will find something that makes sense for you. quicksilverhair.com/hair-growth-and-hair-loss/
@@QuickSilverHair No, I have not had a major illness. It's been happening now for many years. Your web page on the subject is so wonderful. The way it''s presented is incredible and very useful. Thank you. I think it may be just in my DNA to have really excessive shedding. It's happening most around the crown, which tells me it's more male pattern. My mom said she lost hers too for many years and then it just stopped. I think not dyeing it every 3 weeks will definitely help and I also don't do a lot of heat or styling to it right now either. Thank you for your great info!!!
@@whiterobin01 that does sound hormonal which a dermatologist and a bioidentical hormone specialist might be able to help you there. Quitting the dye has probably helped more than you know. I’m glad you found insight in the article. 😊
@@Lovepeacejoy.. I’m so sorry that happened to you. Please check out my article in the above comments. And if you are interested in trying it I have just come out with a scalp oil. 🌟
Mine is salt and pepper on top and sides,and dark blondy brown at the back(natural) and the rest is dyed blond gone brassy. It looks a right ruddy mess! So sick of it. It grows out 6 inches and I just look neglected,like I gave up!
It can take the full grow out before you will know what your natural color really looks like. The transition phase is toughest between 6-9 months. Best of luck!
@@pheart2381 you could always refresh the dyed part and not touch the silver part. Many people go this route with long hair, it looks a little more purposeful and like a reverse ombré dye job.
I am 51 years old this year, I have not dyed my hair for 2 months, the inner hair roots are all white, but the most difficult thing is that the outer hair roots are too slow to grow a few inches, because it is the outer layer, because I have to go to work, and I feel very concerned about other people's eyes on my gray hair. I had to dye the outer layer of hair on the top of my head and keep the inner gray hair. Because I have dyed my hair for 20 years, I am too tired and don't want to dye my hair anymore. How can I make the outer layer of the head grow quickly without being ugly? How do i insist on not caring about (when i look in the mirror, i care about those few inches of white hair) and other people's eyes?
It is difficult in the beginning. But eventually you will start to be in awe of the beautiful whites coming in. When you love it your confidence will shine through and it won’t matter what other people think. That’s the first step is own it. Next pick the way you are going to grow it out and stick with it, the more you try different things the longer it extends the grow out.
