I think natural gray hair is absolutely beautiful. Seriously stunning. I don’t understand these haters who say things like “it ages you”… no. It’s beautiful ❤
Yes!!!! I think these people are just brainwashed by society. So we just keep on moving and loving being gray... eventually, people will get used to the idea that young people have gray hair. It is a natural thing.
I agree, it just seems logical and at the same time, I always enjoyed changing hair color and had never tried blonde before. Win win. Great minds think alike 🤩
Thank you, friend! Sorry I never replied... sometimes the comments get lost. Hope you are keeping warm. It is 68 degrees right now here in TX but it will go up to 83 (which is pretty standard for this time of the year)... I wish we had crisp beautiful falls... but I am thankful I can grow a second garden in the fall, so I should not be complaining.
And you are super sweet for taking the time to send me this note. Thank you, Kristina. Now…where are you from? It shows here you were on the internet at the wee hours… Europe or insomnia?
Hi Karen, thank you for taking the time to leave a little note. My hair is much longer now. I hope you check it out so you can see the change. Have a fantastic week!
Hello, Australian muse! Thank you for the sweet words. I hope you've had the chance to look at my newest videos. My hair is super long now. woohoo! Although I am considering chopping it off for summer. The humidity here in Houston is crazy.
Yes! And it is an acceptance, that honestly doesn't come easy at the get go. But the KNOWING that I had seen people embrace the change, made it easier for me. Happiness is Youthful!!! What an amazing way to look at things. Thank you for sharing that.
Go for it! That would be my recommendation. You can always color again if you don't like it. :) I really feel that my current color is hip and, if nothing else, it has inspired me to take better care of myself so I feel good and look better from the inside out. There is a little bit there during the first 2 to 3 months when you doubt your choice and it is a blow on your self esteem. Wear hats, wear headbands, or just don't care. Soon the results will show that it was all worth it. And if you feel that you have to look a certain way for work, then try the bleaching route. Best of luck! I can't wait to hear about your journey in the near future. :)
@@nancyhelmick7983 I see... it is a valid reason to go gray. Maybe when it is all done you will have gotten used to it. And as more gray comes in, you will love it more. Also, try playing with your makeup. I love wearing bronzer on my skin. It makes me look healthier (I think)
Thank you Mary…. My goal when I started going gray was to look like Storm from X-men. 😂. I did a video wearing gray contacts. That was a favorite look for me. Super fun!!! Check it out…. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1dtn2ChfhmA.html
Wonderful, Eva! It will be a journey, but when you are on the other side, you will be glad you did it. I haven't regretted and love feeling like my real self.
Don't feel pressured to do it, but it is life changing. I love my hair and love it that I am not tied to the weekly touch ups. It used to drive me crazy. And now a days, hair stylists can help you with the transition or pretty much get it done in one long day (if you are willing to dish out a lot of money)!!!!
Thanks for sharing!! You are right... i only wash my hair a couple of times a week... it helps keep it hydrated by letting the natural oils (which tend to slow down as we age) to accumulate. A good brush can then distribute the oils down the strands and manage the frizz. ;)
Wow, thank you! That was such a sweet comment. Hope you watch beyond the transition videos... Having gray hair now has become who I am, and I live my life everyday just like I did before... trying to figure out what colors look good, what to wear, how to take care of my aging skin and how to keep my plants from drowning this summer. LOL. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a comment.
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife , I had to share your video with my friend and sister. I can’t wait to check out your makeup tips and other suggestions. Thank you very much!!!❤️
@@SunMoonDivinity You are awesome!!! Thank you. :* And welcome to all three of you. Feel free to always comment and share your wisdom. We are all here to help each other out. :*
I'm so happy Jennifer. My neighbor once said "you never know whose lives you are going to touch", and giving you joy or a sense of communion is thrilling to me. We are here to help each other out. I can't wait to hear about your final results. :*
Oh you are so sweet!!! No, that is my natural pattern. My mom's hair looked like that as well. It was uncanny. But I guess you could try doing that for fun!!!
I wonder if you are younger than me. I'm about to turn 53, so it could be that you are more on the very rare battleship gray. Either way, I bet you look great!!!!
Right, Colleen? I thin naturally we are born with features that are most fitting to our skin tones. I have been gray now for over 3 years and have never looked back. Thank you for being here. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for the compliment. I'm actually working on a video highlighting life after the transformation. Maybe in a week it will be ready. Have an amazing weekend!
Thank you so much, Debra! I tried leaving you a little message on your video this morning, but we are having power issues that even affect my cell phone. Will double check later. I love Bircks and wear them EVERYWHERE!!! And I don't consider myself dowdy. LOL. They are cool. And you looked fabulous in them all.
Loved this! I'm in my 17th month transition to silver. You described so articulately the feeling that goes along with allowing yourself to be yourself. At one point you used the word "defiant" and that is an awesome word. This defiance has given me confidence and a feeling of empowerment that I had no idea would happen when I started my journey. Thank you for sharing. You look beautiful!
Oh, Dorothy, what a sweet comment. Thank you so much. And wow 17th month is a good length. Are you going to chop it off? I think I will be cutting off the last bits of it in August. I am trying to get a video of my RU-vid friends put together... So far I only have 2 photos, but if you'd like to join in, send me a photo at catherinedesignslife@gmail.com and I will add it to my bunch and one day I should have enough photos to make a video celebrating us! :)
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife I've kept my hair shoulder length the whole time, with my husband giving me an occasional trim. I haven't been to a salon since before lockdown 2020! I kind of like the color. It's not completely silver, but it blends with what's left of the old die and my natural light brown hair. One silver sister on RU-vid has a similar color and she called it "champagne". Love that! As soon as I get a picture I'll send it to you!
Kudos for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Dinanlinson Bright Colour Approach (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for learning how to get your natural hair color back minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my BF after many years got excellent success with it.
Yes I love your message and life attitude. I will be 66 in 5 days. I decided to stop getting high and low lights at the salon when I turned 60. I love my white hair with dark streaks. I have women ask me how I got my hair colored like this. I tell them it's called getting older. I make sure I use salon grade purple shampoo and keep my hair shiny and straight. We can only fight the aging process for so long till you say enough is enough. You look beautiful and your skin is glowing.
Hi Patricia! Welcome! Thank you for the beautiful wisdom of your words. Happy early birthday 🎂! You are right, women pay money to get the look of our hair. And the purple shampoo makes such an enormous difference. You can see in my videos when I have gone too long without using it. About my skin, I am posting a video tomorrow that helps you achieve the same look. I hope you watch it and that it is helpful, if that is the look you want to achieve. Thank you again for your contribution to my channel in the form of this well thought out comment.
Catherine your grey hair sparkle suits you so much and it’s the best color on you! I love we have found one another and I enjoyed this very much. Our grey hair videos really do well and I’m always amazed! I just let mine go and I don’t hide it. I do wish I had more white like you!! Blessings my friend 🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa
Enjoy the few sparkles Lisa.... they will multiply before you know it. I think your hair is lovely just the way it is. I love how some grays are softer and spring like, some are fiery and fierce, while others are striking like a cold blast, and still others are as light and pure like the freshest snow. Thank you... I do love my grays.
I’m just starting my grey hair journey at 58 and being brunette all my life. I’m kind of scared and excited at the same time. You look beautiful with your grey hair and you give me hope.
You got this! We all are afraid of looking older, but that's because we USED TO THINK that gray was for older women. Now a days we know that most people who have gray hair started changing at 16 years old.... that is a lifetime of hair color. I am rooting for you!
Oh Catherine I soooo love your natural grey hair and truly think it is the best colour for you. It really makes your eyes pop. You look like you have had expensive highlights and your hair looks so healthy and alive. If you fancied a change, you could use a wash out highlight wax like Mofajang to apply to just the coloured ends of your hair in maybe electric blue or purple which would look stunning against your natural grey hair. Mofajang washes out instantly with just one shampoo and does not leave any colour behind. If you put it in the search on YT there are loads of videos of people using it. Great video. Can't wait until I am a silver sister.
Hi Linda! I love white hair. I think it is the prettiest of all. Like a otherworldly creature, a fairy, a dainty and delicate muse. But if you get a blunt cut and wear thick red frames, then you are edgy and striking. Now, look at all the choices you will have. lol
Thank you for sharing your hair journey. You are beautiful inside and out. I am also going natural and have awhile to go. I’m loving my own journey as well. ❤
Fantastic, I really think that is the best way to go. It felt right for me. It is really expensive though and tough on your hair. But if that is something you can do, I recommended it. Thank you for the compliment. Your hair is almost white? Awesome! That’s my favorite type of gray. Were you blonde as a child?
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife no I was natural black hair and my grey started when I was 15 years old ,so my hair is white and grey,I love it,and thank you💖👩🦳
@@rosierodriguez6551 If you want to send me a picture, I am trying to put together a video with photos of all of my gray hair ladies who subscribe to my channel, so that I can get to see you all too. :) My email is catherinedesignslife@gmail.com
I'm 16 months dye free. And I was hoping it would take me 18 months to transition. But now I'm thinking it will be 2 yrs. But I could still be fooling myself...may take me 3yrs. My hair is your length. Last year in the beginning of my transition, I did dab on some root box dye only around the demarcation line to break it up a bit and it worked. But I knew it would probably set me back about 3-4 months even though I tried not to get too much on the gray areas. Only did that once. I discovered some gray colored root spray that I have been using just to give my darker hair some temporary highlights. I thought about going the real highlight route. But #1 I was scared of the damage and #2 the main point of going gray, was to stay out of the salon and away from dyes. Some days I do get impatient and want to do it, but so far I have resisted.
Good for you!!!! Yeah... so what we go back in forth, it is all about the journey, right?! If you guys want to send me a photo of your transitions, feel free to at catherinedesignslife@gmail.com I am compiling a bunch of viewers photos that I want to acknowledge once I have enough for a video. :*
Wonderful, Tania! Best of luck. Be patient, try not to care about the first month (which is the most awkward), and from them on wear that gray demarcation line with pride. You are a super strong woman for going against the norms and committing to a personal goal. I love that!!!! Good luck. I'm super proud of myself too... this month I challenged myself to post one video a day, and I haven't missed a day yet. It takes hours to plan, film, edit and post a video. But I am almost done. It has made me grow as human being, in that I've always struggled to committing to something. These little actions that seem superficial to others, can and are very deep representations of our inner growth. Sorry I went on like that. I'm just celebrating our courage. :*
Thank you so much!! Yes, she is a cutie. Check out my latest video and you will be amazed at how long my hair is now. Let me know if you think it is time for a haircut (be honest). LOL ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-swMTAIJJhmA.html
@@haileataylor9129 oh wow... so did both of you learn sign language together. I lived next door to a mom who was deaf and her kids were so attentive of her even as toddlers... now the daughter (specially) can't stop talking LOL So sweet!
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife Yes we are all continuing learning as a family he is about to be 5 and we started learning when he was 6 months old. That is so sweet! 🥰
You are so gorgeous!!!!! And your hair is thick and amazing. I just recently cut off all my colored ends and have a bob- but my hair thinned out after contracting covid - I lost so much hair. I love your cut. I can’t wait until mine is that length. Thanks for the video
I love you Michael! Your hair looks great on the picture. Have you tried Biotin? I heard it is proven to regrow hair if the hair loss was temporary. I'd give it a try. I'm sorry you had covid. :(
Thank you, Mabrey. Grey hair is not for everyone... so don't feel pressured to join the movement. Be your amazing self! If you change your mind, come talk to me and I will give you some pointers. XOXO
@Catherine Hopkins Designs Life thank you for replying! I actually have my first appt to start transitioning to grey hair early April. I'm just so tired of covering every silver strand with boxed color, which is what I've done for most of my adulthood. I started graying in my 20s and am now 44. I just want to see myself at a point where I can embrace the natural beauty that is Gid given or "unchanged" by covering it up. I am not the most confident person about aging, but as I age, I find myself becoming more comfortable in my own skin so to say. I would love any tips/ advice you have for me. 😃
@@mabreystyles3919 Fantastic! So I don't know your current hair color... are you going blonde first? I thought that was a pretty easy way to transition. Specially since you can tone the hair after lightening it, so it has a grayer hue (platinum blond). I totally identify with you... this stage in life leaves us so tender and insecure... but fear not, you will be fierce when you come out on the other side. My husband is younger than me, and when we got married I was skinny and had dark hair. I always felt insecure then afraid that people would notice our age difference. Oddly enough, after my transition, I feel that I look amazing and original, and because of that, confident! I no longer think that other people are noticing our age difference. LOL. Weird right? Maybe I just don't give a hoot about it! Best of luck on your transformation. Go be the butterfly you were meant to be!
I've been growing out my greys for almost 18 months now. What a journey! I still have a lot of natural brown and bleached bits too but the grey is gradually taking over. Weird thing is, most of the grey is at the back! You never know the pattern it will grow in...
Mine is the, same lighter at the back I put a toner on which just brightens it I get loads compliments from younger women asking me how I get my hair this colour! ❤️🇬🇧
Your hair looks fabulous and so do you! I think when we start our grey hair journey we start to embrace our true selves and with that comes a freedom which is life enhancing 🙏
I completely agree, Lynn. Great words of wisdom! The acceptance is not without struggle though. LOL. Mostly for me it is not the hair changing color (which I love, by the way LOL) but the weight gain and all of the health implications of that... for me mostly bad knees. But I am so blessed to be in a situation to look forward to tomorrow, where I know I have the means to lose the weight... one little bit at a time. :*
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife yes the weight gain that creeps up on us is harder to accept lol, when I first started my journey with the menopause weight gain around my hips and belly was very hard to get used to, especially as I'd been very slim and athletic previously! Reading up on the science helped me accept why this happens to us, as I do like facts! I find lots of walking helps and qigong is especially good for the joints and knees! ( check out qigong with Kseny on here, she does some wonderful routines that are kind and supportive 💚 )
@@lynnmichelle5482 oh my gosh... I have no idea why i hadn't seen this comment before!! Last year I started doing qigong (watching youtube videos), but I have not run into Kseny. Going to look for her right now. Thank you so so much!!!!🥰
Love the natural highlights you now have in your hair. These would work so well at showing off the depth and definition of curls - which would really suit your face shape. Have you thought about getting a perm? This would really suit you - and they're really on trend at the moment too!
Fun!!! But I don't want to do anything else with chemicals on my hair. For halloween I will dress up as Cruela, and she does have pretty curly hair, but I think I will just use a curling iron. :)
You have beautiful, thick, amazing hair! I have not colored mine since June 2020, and I have only 5 inches of gray growth. It's going to take f-o-r-e-v-e-r, so I'm wearing wigs until I can look presentable. My hair is also thin so I may be wearing wigs long-term. If I had hair like yours, it would be a different story. Congrats! You look wonderful!
I'm sorry you have to deal with wigs, but on the bright side, you can have all sorts of cool looks as you wish. You can even try an all gray wig for now. How fun is that?! :)
Your hair looks beautiful!!! I am on my grey hair journey too; I am only 2 months in and it's a bit scary. Thank you for being an inspiration to people like me!!!!
HI GAL. thanks for info. your hair looks very pretty.I'm trying again after 8 trys and hope to do it cold turkey. I like the greys to show up so I wear it in a pony tail. I have long brown hair. thumbs up :) friend connie
@@conniemurphyover70stillgla47 Oh Connie, I am sorry. This is a sign that you have a very busy social life ;) otherwise, you'd be holed up at your home for several months and nobody would notice your hair color journey. What about wearing a wig through the transition? I recall you live in Florida... so I guess that would be very hot. Well... look at all the expertise you've gained during the 11 tries. Maybe you can share your experience on your channel.
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife I started the beginning of February 2020. Although I had been thinking about it for about 2 years, the rediculous shut-down of the economy made me do it. It's the only positive thing that has come from all this crazy. We gorgeous woman found out that we look hotter all natural 🍒
This is the best "going grey journey" video ive seen so far (I've been binging them!). You're gorgeous! I haven't dyed my hair un 6 months. It's going well, I'm salt and pepper with white at the temples. I still have mostly brown hair. I sort of wish I had more grey actually! Time will tell.....
I came across this video, and your channel by accident. You are so pretty! I have a bit of gray coming in to my light golden brown hair, and *think* that I’ve decided that I’m going to let it keep growing. I’m similar in skin tone as you, so I hope that my gray looks as nice as yours does, once it becomes the dominant color. I see that you have other videos with interesting content, so I’m a new subscriber of yours! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for joining the channel. I love it that you are going to try out the new look. You will find that it brings a brightness to your face and sparkle to your eyes that no box color could ever achieve. I loved it when my hair was brownish/blonde with the super bright grays. It was one of my favorite looks (that's what kept my transition stalled at that stage for so long). Good luck and please keep me posted on your journey. Hugs from TX
@@ninawildr4207 Hi Nina... I tried it and had really bad digestive issues (I need fiber). It is so cool that you were inspired to go gray... you need to check out the spring/summer trend colors with gray hair. They look fabulous.

Loved this! Glad to hear your daughter is interested in ASL. I am an interpreter and teach ASL and interpreting at a university. We have a dachshund named Louie, named that because he is a rescue from Louisiana. Your Louie is so cute!
Oh my Gosh, I love it! Louie sounds like a fun fella... Looly is a rescue too. Super cool that you interpret and teach ASL. I appologize for forgetting where you live. Are you here in Houston? My daughter learns from RU-vid... she is a special child who loves trying out new things. Much more so than my boys.

Thank you for sharing your journey. You are naturally beautiful. I have been gray for 21 years. In those 21 years I’ve had every length of hair there is. Soon I’m going very short again !😉
I appreciate that, Odalis. My friends tell me that they don't recognize me half the time I run into them because my hair is always changing. LOL.

@@odalis6177 I will post as a video. There will be a ton of silver hair ladies. I will give you a heads up before I post it. I only have one other lady who sent me her photo. So it will be a while. :)
I don't doubt it, C. It is fun and I truly believe we all look better wearing our natural colors. :* I just don't want to only do gray hair videos. LOL. Life is beautiful in so many other aspects.
Hi!!!! You are the sweetest! Lovely color and new hair do! Your gray pattern is so edgy with the dark streak! So cool! I just love that about gray hair. It’s so different on all of us! I was a blonde too and since my gray is very light it’s been a pretty easy with the grow out. I have been thinking about cutting mine, but I am enjoying it longer ((right now)). Love seeing all the stages of your hair. Beautiful! Sweet pup, too. 😊
Oh Michelle you always put a smile on my face. How are the tomatoes doing? Yes you are one of the lucky ones. Light hair and gray just complement each other. I have a friend who looks like a Viking and she tells me her hair is so gray and to me she looks the same. Lol. Yes I love all shades of gray.
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife Likewise:)😍 The tomatoes have been quite the project! A few weeks ago, I drilled holes on the bottom of the plastic cups and containers that I had been collecting and transplanted them. I am keeping them outside on nice days and bring them in at night. This week, I added some organic feed to them. The are slowing growing and they probably need a few more weeks until I transfer them again into bigger pots. The ones I started in egg cartons are a lot smaller. I think I left them too long and the cartons weren’t deep enough. The others are three times as big and them were in larger seed starter containers. Luckily, my father in law took some, so now I have about 30! So yeah, my dining room is still looking like a science lab! 😆 Stay tuned! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!
@@micheles501 HAHAHAHAHHA.... I did giggle over here and my husband came check on me. LOL. I love projects like these... Watch out for little flyes... If they show up get yourself a few bowls with wine in them and they will drown those pesky pests. I don't even eat tomatoes and mine are like godzilla they plants are so huge. Thankfully my daughter eats them but I have plenty to share with the neighbors.... I think you might be able to open a tomato stand in front of your house this summer. LOL
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife I was thinking the same exact thing! Lol 🍅 🍅🍅🍅 FREE Tomato Plants (that might not yield any tomatoes)! My husband and I have been laughing at the amount of work it’s been and the set-up we have is crazy! Just this week, he was said, “Can’t you just buy plants next year?!?! Haha!
Wished we lived closer! I love tomatoes and would gladly take some off of your hands! Thanks for the wine tip too. I did see some bugs just this week around the plants this week. Thanks again!!!
You are stunning!!! I found your video just when I needed to. I’m about four months in, and I’m not sure I’m going to be able to stick it out… maybe this is a sign 🤗
You got this! 4 months is an awkward stage, but in a month or so everyone will notice that you are intentionally growing out your beautiful sparkle. Can you tell what your pattern is going to look like yet? Honestly in my head even though I saw only one area all white, I expected more white than I actually have. LOL. But like I said, I just flip the hair to the side that is all white and voila!!!! I can't wait to hear what your transition will look like. Please, give us an update. :)
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife I expected a lot more white as well! In fact if I’d known how much dark hair I still had I wouldn’t have bleached my whole head… rather I’d have just foiled in some highlights. I was doing my roots every two weeks, it looked so white, but… surprise😅 Thanks so much for the encouragement 🤗💕
@@joeyriddle No worries because once your hair is 3 colors, I think it looks super cool. I'm at the stage that I could probably cut off the ends and be done with it, but I like having the ends "blonde"... kinda like an extreme ombre. LOL
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife oh, you could keep the tips, even top them off with some fun temporary chemical free fashion colors, like pulp riot or attic Fox! I can’t stop obsessing over my hair, it’s really silly… I keep parting it and leaning into the mirror Who in the world though I’d be willing the greys to come🤣🤣🤣
@@joeyriddle I love it!!! You are into it. Let's call it a new project. And just a quick insight if you want to go back to making videos... the gray hair transition ones are killing it, so go make an update. It is probably time for me to have an update too. Oh... and may I recommend you take a look at one of my videos where I tried colors on the tips and contact lenses. It was sooooo much fun. And someone actually said I looked 20 years younger. LOL!!!!!! Here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5KnzM0RQ65Q.html
Ooh I know YOU!!!! You are the music savvy gray hair goddess with a stylish grandmother. Welcome! It’s so nice of you to stop by. My husband had us listening to hair bands on xmradio for 6 hrs yesterday! 😫🥵🧑🏻🎤
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife you totally just blew my mind 🤯😀. I love this community so much. Everyone is so awesome. You have to tell me which hair bands! My husband lets me play one Guns ‘n’ Roses 🌹 song from time to time 😂😂. Just one. (Paradise City)
😂 tough crowd … I have no idea which bands. He said he couldn’t recognize only one of the songs played… the name of the station is, predictably enough, Hair Nation. LOL. Yes, the grey hair 👩🏼🦳 community is still small, considering the size of the internet 😉
You truly look so beautiful and I love hair transformation so natural with a little help and patience. You could be bald though and you would be so pretty.
Oh Carla, you are too sweet! Thank you. How far along are you on your gray hair transformation? Really after the second month, than you just roll with it. A lot of people also like to wear headbands during that time. I never tried. Thank you again for taking the time to leave me a sweet note.
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife I don't have any gray hairs I've had one since I was 37 and not much else. I'm 43 now. I just think your hair is so beautiful and love hair transformations so had to comment and let you know I admire your hair color. Well, incase Im at that point someday I hope it turns out as lovely as yours. I've gone from blond to black but that's it.
Thanks Therese!!!! I love my group of friends. This whole transition can be fun. I hope you stick around and see what else I post. And let me know if you have a topic you want me to post about in the future. :)
Be patient and enjoy the process. Everyday someone will stop me somewhere to compliment me on my grays. I take it as a badge of honor. I stuck with it and it transformed myself into a more confident, strong willed person. If you haven't noticed, I love my gray hair. lol
One of the best "go grey" videos I've seen. Could I ask how old are you? Being in mid 40s it's a transition I'm debating just dunt wanna look old, bright blessings xXx
Hi Mandy, I am 53. I get compliments from young folks (20s and 30s) literally every single day. So I think it is such a trend right now that people don't really associate it with age anymore.
Absolutely LOVE the color graduations. This is such a great look you have! I kind of wish I had dark hair to start, because I love the silver/black combo look, but your BLONDES mixed in! That looks so good, too. I agree about edgy! And not being too neat-looking! Always preferred uncombed hair on me. I also love your personality and honest about the changes you’ve gone through the previous three years. I so want to be (more) real about how I really look too! - but I also want to look a little more finished with makeup and smoother hair once I’m on my way to more gray. Less frizzy and unkempt which is what my hair can be. So I’ll look up your makeup vids! I’m completely inexperienced with makeup..at 66 yrs - never too late! I’d love to know how you have such smooth hair. Just the kind of hair you have? - or do you blow it out? Beautiful.
Hi! I do straighten my hair by blow drying it. Otherwise the coarse, wiry gray hairs look crazy. I made a video on how I dry my hair. Being a little lazy about it, I let it air dry then use some coconut oil and straighten the air dried hair with a blow dryer and a round brush. It does the work super quick. No, it is never too late to learn new ways to do makeup and hair. Thank you so much for the kind words. I love all sorts of grays. One of my friends felt like she had too much gray so she put some lowlights on her hair and it looks super fun. Feel free to ask me more questions if you need help with something and I am so excited you chose me to help polish your new look. :)
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife leave that last bit of colour,it hardly shows and it will probably fade,I think you'll look beautiful with long hair,waist length would be perfect
