GREY HAIR TRANSITION | ONE YEAR UPDATE | NICOLE BURGESS 

The Truth Warrior tried it and decided to start coloring again. Mine has been graying for a long time (I'm 65). Almost all silver. I love it. I'm African American and my hair is natural as well. I feel good about who I am...😎

I stopped coloring when covid started, so almost 2 years. I'm 49. I get so many more compliments and it's so much easier and cheaper. You look beautiful.

I was a box dye queen 👑! Lol. It's going on 9 years of transitioned gray hair and I love it!

I love this! So encouraging. I’m going to be 38, and my husband has been begging me to do this for a long time. Love your attitude and not caring what anyone else thinks. ❤️🥰

Oh I am so happy to see this. I’m just started getting grey hair and have decided to just let it grow naturally. You’re very encouraging. Thank you.

I went natural 3 years ago with a super short pixie, I love my healthy hair and get many compliments on it. Grey power!

It looks beautiful, like you added natural silver highlights! It’s going to look amazing when it’s all grown out. Don’t add low lites or tone it. Leave it be. You don’t want to do anything that you’re going to have to upkeep. Congrats on your decision and keep going strong! WHOOHOOO

You're amazing. I'm 43 and don't dye my hair . Haven't been a huge dyer- but I'm glad I haven't caved to pressure now that my grays are really coming in. Thanks for your honesty !

My heart got so full when you were talking about your kids. I love that you know and fully embrace that your kids will love you no matter what. I feel like a lot of moms and women in general really struggle to believe that people love them no matter what they look like.

Hello from New York! So glad to hear your Gray Hair Transition is going so well. I began my Gray Hair Transition 6 months ago after coloring my hair for decades and I also am doing it Cold Turkey. You are beautiful in + out. 🥰

Hi Nicole. I didn’t know you were doing this. You look amazing and the grey is so subtle. It looks good on you. I’ve been toying with the same thing. Seeing you gives me a little more hope that I might take the leap. Take care.

I'm 39 and haven't dyed my hair since July 2021!! And o my I'm loving the new grey growth!!

It's also so refreshing to hear a woman talk excitedly about what she loves about herself- like you're doing with your hair. You can tell you're authentic about it and it's just really refreshing because women are so conditioned to judge ourselves .

Hello silver sister! You look great! Thank you for sharing your story about going naturally gray. I’m a year and a half in myself, and it’s liberating. I’m glad that gray hair is becoming normalized.

SO glad I finally made the decision to go gray. It took me 2 years and I LOVE the pattern and color. Good for you, 😊

20 months grow out at 42 years old! My partner encouraged me when my hairdresser tried to talk me back into colouring 😊❤

You look amazing girl! Congrats on 1 year!!! I too have let my grays come in, and so far I'm liking it. I can't wait to see your next hair update in 6 months.

Ich habe zwei Mal versucht und wieder gefärbt 😢 Nach eine schlechte Erfahrung im frisur Salon.Ich bin entschieden getroffen nie mehr Haare einfärben meine natürliche Haarfarbe wachsen lassen.Es ist egal was die andere denken.Wiechtig ist mir gut fühlen.🙏

I’m going into 3 year of my gray hair. My hair is very soft and have never experienced coarse or wire feeling hair. Good luck with your gray journey!

You go Nicole!! I just turned 40 and was thinking of trying it but I’m so scared. I have two teenagers that look at my greys and make faces. So I guess everyone will have to get use to it because I’m tired of dying it every 2 weeks. Let’s see what happens 😁. You look great.

You look fab. I can’t wait to see the update in 6 months

I started letting my grey hair grow out over a year ago and I love it! My husband does too. My hair looks so healthy and shiny. It is also very soft to the touch. I was afraid it would be course and brittle but it is not. I love your hair!!!!

Your natural color is absolutely beautiful 😍 I love it sooooo much Nicole!

Your hair looks good. I have been letting my gray grow out since May I have a pretty good grow out. I'm liking it didn't think I world I've always hated gray hair. I just turned 65 and I'm like what the heck go for it. So far so good👍 can't wait for update!!!

Thank you for sharing this!!!!! I just turned 40 in September and have really started noticing the grays coming in. Overall I am mostly OK with it, but sometimes I struggle because my mother-in-law and stepmother in law… One doesn’t have gray hair and the other one dies her hair. I always think about how I may look older than them by going gray when they’re not! I know it’s so ridiculous, but it’s some thing that’s been on my mind. Seeing others embrace this stage of life really helps. 💕💕💕

It's a really beautiful colour. You're going to love it.

Looking phenomenal!!!

I stopped color about 3 months ago and I'm so excited to have my natural hair coming back in. I have greys but i am loving it!

Love it sis!! Looks amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩

I am two months in and not going back! Mine is more white/silver as I am 60 yrs old. I already love it! Thank you for your platform!!!! You are beautiful!

It takes so long! I am in the process and it's been over 2 years so far, with a long way to go still. Most of my silver is UNDERNEATH, which is weird! You look lovely....

Hello. I’m 45. Been going grey since 25. I’m half silver and brown. I say go with it. In long run.. it’s worth it. No worries. I’m proud of you! Like you said the grey bothers other people than me. The hair trim definitely helps!!

Looking beautiful as always!!!

Such a BEAUTY!

I've just started, 10 weeks since my last dye. I think you look great and I really appreciate the video

You look awesome with your natural hair!

Yes for the haircare routine video!❤

Looks great. I let mine grow out and never looked back. I don't miss chasing that skunk line every 4 weeks.

You look beautiful with or without the gray! It’s a beautiful color and you are showing just how badass you are because you embrace the total true you!Please share a hair care video!

Hey girl, I'm 39 I have not colored my hair in years. At first I was worried but as you said I don't care what people think of me. I have plenty of grays loI. I did not like what coloring my hair was doing the damage. I have really long hair it's past my waist and hell everyone complements it all the time. I am so happy you love it❤

Your natural hair color is beautiful!

Looks great!!

Hi Nicole you hair is just so beautiful. My family greys early. My brother has had grey hair since his mid 20's and me since my early 40's. Thanks for sharing.

So funny I’m doing the same thing. Lol my husband was the one that suggested it also. I’m going to embrace my natural color.

That is a great way to think about it! You are making me think...I go to the salon every 6 weeks for a root touch up and it is getting expensive. Maybe I will give it a shot!

Your hair looks great! I have been gray for awhile, but I just turned 70! However, my mother is 93 and her hair is a lovely white! That’s what I’m waiting for LOL!

Your hair is growing in beautifully! It really looks great on you! I would love to hear products you are using

Looks great and you look amazing no matter what! 🤗

It's been 2 years for me and I love it. My hair is three or four inches past my shoulders and my original dying color was a dirty blonde. I am one of those who have multiple colors on my head. My mother was a redhead and she was the same way. But I love it and I've had many compliments about it. I can't wait till it gets long. Best decision I ever made but I only wish I would have done it years ago.

Your hair looks great!

It IS a pretty salt and pepper mix. Yes to learning about your hair care products.

It looks great on you. I’m still dying my hair - and I’m 20+ years older than you! Maybe someday I will GO THERE, like when I hit my goal weight. LOL I’ve had short hair before and like it on me, so I would probably do a big chop to try to speed things up when going gray. Thanks for sharing your hair journey. It’s fun to watch you do you - and with such confidence!

Hii Nicole...been waiting for this one

Love your hair! 👍

You look marvelous as usual! 👌

I went grey about a year ago. I did cut mine shoulder length so much grow out was quicker. I have a few silver strands (that I can see) and I love it. I'm 45 btw. I love your hair. It looks pretty on you ❤️

I started my transition in September, 2020 so that makes it 19 months. I went from very dark brown to my natural color which is more of a medium brown. I did go down the route of putting highlights in to soften the transition. I’m glad I did, even though my hair was very dry from the bleaching. I did come across a product called K 18 hair prep which I recommend highly. I still use it to this day and my hair feels amazing. One thing I would recommend for ladies with long hair and that is to add layers your hair, because that’ll take away a lot of the color so layering your hair will not only make your hair look and feel thicker, but it also look healthier as most of the box color or dark color will be cut off. Transitioning was the best decision I made. At first my work colleagues were questioning my decision, but now they are in aww of my color and `natural highlights’.

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous.

It was so nice to see someone with the same colour hair as me growing out. I had it dyed for years. I have grey and dark roots now, but don’t want to cut it all off yet.

Thank you for this! I’m 59 and letting it go !!

I'm at 22 months and I love it. Like you, I like long hair, so I think it's going to take 3 yrs total to complete my transition.

Good for you for going natural! You have beautiful hair 😍

Hi, I always had long hair, almost down to my waist. I stop coloring my hair around 4 months and one day I got a "senior citizen moment " 😃🙃 and call a friend that is a barber and shave all my hair!! Picture shows how short I got it. I do not regret chopping my hair it grow back. My family loves the new look and I take good care of my hair, plantum hair tent to grow dry. I'm proud of your decision 👏!!

I’m 69 and my hair is gray. I stopped dying a little over a year ago. I love it and love yours.

Looks great, I stopped dying my hair during lock down, It gets easier, I am still having those moments when I want to dye it but I hate having to dye it every 2 weeks that’s what stops me lol but for the most part I love it.

I remember the video u made when u announced ur hair plan, seems like yesterday.. Good Hubbie! ❤ U r Gorgous being U ❤

If you want to match the grow out better then get a simple green or ashy toner on the remaining artificial color, it will help the grow out to match better. Guy Tang has some wonderful products. You only need 7 or 10 volume. So much less damaging than a box dye. I'm fully grown out for 5 years now. That's what I did and it gave me so much confidence while growing it.

The go gray kit can do wonders for that severe contrast by removing old color!

Love your colour. It took me 2 years to grow my hair out cold turkey. I went to a short bob but didn't want to do a pixie cut. It would have been a lot quicker. Wish I had done this years ago.

Started my process October of 2019. Best decision ever

So beautiful 😍 yes, hair care routine would be great 👍

i decided to stop coloring my hair about a year ago as well. i love it! not gonna lie though, i did have some hard days (especially seeing myself in pics) but i totally love it and will keep on keeping on with it.. PS my hubs loves it..

Good for you! Stick with it, you are over the hurdle. Personally, for ME. I’m 56 and I am not growing old gracefully! Lol. I used box color sine I was 30. My natural hair was almost black so to grow mine out is too stark. I wish I could though. Your hair looks amazing.

YESSSSSS Q & A 🙏🏾🥰👍🤘💕

Your grey hair is so nice and even, once it is all grey it will be fabulous, though I think your hair looks good now, nice and thick. Good luck on your journey from the UK. Oh and do keep your length, it is perfect.

I am almost 67. I stopped dying my hair July 2021. I always had a reddish color, sometimes burgundy, chocolate cherry, plum. I don't miss it a bit. I am pleased so far. Hubs likes it too. It matches my grey blue eyes.

Thank you for sharing.

It looks great and yes, would ❤️ to know ur hair care routine!

Hair care routine please! I started going silver at 26. My hair cutter and my husband love the color and do not want me to Miss Clairol it!

I just started growing my roots (1.5 month more or less) and yes, I see very white roots, but you're right, it must be just the contrast between the grey and my dark hair dye.

I love it on you! I think you look beautiful!

You Go Girl! I just started having white and silver hairs show up in my brown hair and I'm older than you.I will be 56 in 12 days and I may never go fully grey - no one in my family seems to,,, it blends into the brown or my 2 uncles - my dad's brothers went pure white. Guess I will see..

I really,really wanna dye my dreads gray 😍 I think natural gray hair is beautiful at any age

Key words: Get out of your comfort zone! I dyed mine for the last time last month. No More. I worked as a stylist a long time ago and yes, ladies pay big money to get what we earned naturally!!!! Yes a hair Q/A. I'm curious to see what different things we can all learn from each other. That would be awesome.

I've gone grey since Covid. I will send photos on Instagram. Congratulations

I’m new here and I love what your doing ❤️

A hair care routine would be great. I tried letting my hair grow out 2 years ago, but my hair was dyed light blonde and my natural is dark blonde. I’ve now dyed it close to my natural hair color then to let it grow out.

When I was in elementary school, a kid in school said , I saw you at the grocery store with your grandma. I said, that was my mom. The kid said, no it was an old lady. I popped him in the nose. My mom was completely gray, beautiful gray hair since she was in her early 20’s

I like your hair, go crazy and add just a few salt and pepper or silver streaks ,not alot just a couple, my mom did this year's ago and it helped her with the going gray, but of course you do what is best for you, just suugesting..miss my mom

Your beautiful with your hair down, grey and all! Yes I would love a grey Q&A. My question is how to tame the greys ? Lol. My are crazy 😜

beautiful

I haven't colored my hair in 16 years. I'll be 37 in a few weeks no gray hair yet. I told my son I will go grey all the way😁

My hair came out white and silver and I looked like an old woman. I coloured with henna and feel and look much better. At 75 I like what I see now especially in the morning when I wake up. Gray is ageing I have always thought so. Nevs mom

I'm 52 started getting grey a year ago and it's was not much. I was just plucking them out. But I'm starting to get to many to pluck. I have never died my hair but now I might.

I went through it

I'd like to start using more natural hair care products. What do use?

Im also going natural..

Mine is white. I still color my hair , but one day I will let it grow out.

Do you know was the best way to grow your hair every night braid it

Hair care routine please. 🙂
