Ready to joyfully and confidently embrace your gray hair?
I ditched the dye back in 2018, after 25+ years of coloring my hair. I had been thinking about quitting coloring for a long time, but it wasn't until I turned 49 that I decided enough was enough! I found embracing my gray hair to be incredibly liberating and fun, and I hope you will, too.

Stop Sun Damage to Gray Hair: Essential Tips You Need to Know
Your video is great. I live in Michigan. Do you have any referrals?
Great idea! What if you have bangs or a fringe?
It’s been over a year now I have 8 inches of growth my hair got really long the bottom is color n old bleach . I cut already 3 inches I couldn’t go short but this stage is making me want to color it again . I’m struggling with the few greys I have but I’m tired of coloring n also scared of allergies now since I haven’t colored in a year . My color is mostly brown n my pattern is coming in very thin and throughout mostly at the crown . Looks like tiny silvers . Now if I do decide to color . Should I use a Demi? Or no?
You’re hilarious 😂😂. And yes I’ve always had long hair then see short hairstyles and wanna try it - usually I regret it after I take the plunge for all the reasons you like long hair Because of you I’ve started my gray transition and LOVE ur vids - thank you☺️!
You're welcome! So glad you enjoy the videos!
I wish people would just do what makes them happy, because negative comments will come no matter what. Some won’t understand you going gray, but on the flipside there’s the “aging gracefully” police who won’t like if you color your hair, and are just as toxic. I even had a “friend” call me out when I got veneers for some of my front teeth after I knocked a corner off one of my incisors. People need to mind their own business. Do as you please, and let others do the same.
I agree 100%! I wish people would just mind their own business. Nobody should feel pressure to dye OR not to dye!
First, I want to say thank you so much for the inspiration you’ve given me to grow out my silvery gray hair. In answer to your question about cutting your hair, you might just try cutting off 3 inches to get rid of the yellow ends. Also, I wanted to suggest, a dry oil mist by OGX, it’s called nourishing coconut oil it’s weightless and it’s a dry oil. It’s only about seven dollars at Target. Spray it on dry hair, It adds shine and it reduces any frizzies. It will give your hair some new life. Also, I was previously a brunette, but still have some darker eyebrows, they have become a little patchy, but I have found that Benefit has a brow, micro filling, pen in light brown that fills in nicely without being too dark or harsh, and for any grays popping out I use Benefit, “precisely, my brow wax”. Like you don’t want any dark, or hard line eyebrows, eyebrows should be soft and frame the eye lightly. Best of luck in your decision we support you no matter what you choose. Again, thank you for all your encouragement. be well!
Thank you for your suggestions! So helpful - I appreciate it :-)
I had a sudden allergic reaction to hair color!!! I have waist length dyed black hair very course. I do not want to do it but I lost alot of hair at the salon the last time and I am afraid.😔😂
That can happen, for sure! I didn't realize (until i started blogging about this) that a lot of us don't develop hair dye allergies until later in life. And they can worse over time, so I wouldn't take chances with it. Here's a good article if you need help going gray when you don't really want to: katiegoesplatinum.com/gray-hair-no-choice/
I transitioned via the highlight/lowlights/foil method. It was expensive, and there was a brief period-like maybe a couple of weeks between my first and second treatments-where things didn’t look that great. After my second treatment, however, I was delighted with how I looked and how easy the rest of the process went. I used a platinum toner for a while, and when I decided to drop the toning and just let the gray take over, I barely noticed a change. That said, I think the buzz cut or cold turkey methods are the best, but I knew I’d never be able to look at myself in the mirror for all the months it would take to reach my length h and color objectives..
I'm so glad the highlights/lowlights method worked well for you. My feeling is, whatever works for YOU, is the best way to go gray. For me , it was cold turkey - for my Mom, it was a salon transition - and for my sister, it was the dye strip technique. :-)
I like...my journey just started...I made the decision 8/10/2024...let the journey begin...I say 2-3 years of patience...I look at my hair every day now...
It's a fun obsession! 🙂
Gray looks beautiful BUT I think gray hair needs to be impeccably styled in order not to look shabby. Also if you are gray I believe your makeup should be just a tiny bit bolder. Just my opinion. I've only received positive comments on my platinum grey.
My favorite purple shampoo & conditioner is Loma. It brightens my hair without drying it out and smells good. Sometimes I use a kaolin clay hair mask which helps but it's messy and time consuming so I don't use it that often. I'm curious about metal detox shampoos as I have hard water. I've read about them but haven't tried any, wonder if anyone has had any experience with those.
@@mbeth3143 I’ve tried using the metal detox shampoo and mask recently. I’m still trying to figure out if I like them or not. They leave my hair a bit dry. For me, the best thing for hard water has been to use an aqua bliss, shower filter and to make sure to change the filters regularly.
I did it cold turkey and kept reminding myself what a hassle it was having to color it. Calico was find and I LOVE my long silver/gray hair ! Wheee!! Subscribed.
Yay! That’s a good point. It’s so important to remember why you’re going gray to help you get through the long process of doing it. So glad you’re happy and thanks for subscribing!
I died my hair purple in 2016 or 17 till July 2020 after being called my hubbys mother 3 times in 6 months. My natural brunette hair was going grey at that time and was around the 20% ish point. It was the point where the greying makes us look old. Then, in Jamuary 2021, I was just done with dying, and my roots were showing closer to the 40% to 50% grey. That, to me, is the beautiful phase. I got some purple shampoo, which dulled the red in the purple dye and brought out the greys and whites. Also it dulled or blended the demarcation line enough to make is less shocking and more intentional. Now, one thing i had to consider is that I have waist length hair that hubby adored, thus limiting the greying options to only the grow out method. I'm now about to turn 54 in 18 days or so, and this next haircut will remove the last 3 inches of the purple, leaving my length mid back around bra strap long. My hair is now close to 60% grey and beautiful. I'm in love with jt because i now have highlights and lowlights in what to me was just boring brown. It might have taken 3.5 years to grow out, but it has been fun. One thing that was weird is that the texture changed. I now have some waves and curlishes when before greying, it was all line straight. The best advice i can tell others is to just take the plunge. My cousin, who is 10 years older than me, loved my hair and wishes she'd done it earlier with hers.
I'm so happy it worked out so well for you! Your hair sounds gorgeous.
I had black hair w/pixie. I just let it grow out but wore my hair off my face combed back so I didn’t have a path. Someone said gray hair will make me look older, I said I’m 60 so I thinks it ok. Once I make up my mind I don’t care what anyone thinks and when they comment I just say, I love the gray.
I have colored my hair x 30 yrs. I am brunette-so skunk stripe is a concern. Will probably do pixie using toot cover up til right length.
If the skunk stripe is a concern, here are some other methods, too - hope this helps! ruclips.net/video/xwQ7cNPVQ-8/видео.htmlsi=KEGll2gqXT-R9mkV
You look Beautiful!!!
Hair grows….take off 4 or 5 inches. If you don’t like it let it grow back
How about shoulder length or just below the shoulders with long layers around the face? You would get rid of the warmer ends and it would be quick to grow out if you missed the length. A side part would also be very flattering.
Thanks! That's a great suggestion!
Check out Carol Tuttle’s Dressing Your Truth. Her RUclips channel,deals with clothing & hair styles. I think your long hair is beautiful. I cut my hair into a bob every 3 years then grow it out to mid back length and do it all over. There is so much to do with long hair.
@@grownupgirlscout2928 thanks! I’ll check her out!
I just dyed my hair grey. Then let it grow out. Ta da!
@@rhondaburke5700 glad it worked for you! what color was your hair when you did that? I’m curious (assuming it was blonde?)
I keep mine collarbone length. Every summer , I get tempted to cut it short and be done. But I love the ease of a quick updo or pony tail in the heat and humidity. It takes longer to shampoo , condition BUT , I don’t need to get up , shampoo and style every single morning. My hair is thick , wavy and it just will not cooperate with whatever dream styles I see with shorter hair. Plus I’m not that handy with or eager to spend time and energy styling every day. If things were different, I would cut it. But I Always end up growing out short styles and it’s a misery I don’t want to experience again.
Oh my gosh, I can relate to every single thing you wrote! I still haven’t made up my mind, but I’m leaning towards not cutting much shorter than I have it already.
I went cold turkey and encountered many negative remarks. Then I internalized them, felt like an ugly duckling for nearly three years. Pretty hair clips, gray scrunchies , brighter lipstick were my crutches. My hair is past my shoulders and I knew I didn’t want to deal with growing out a pixie. So I trimmed every 8 weeks, cried a little along the way. Had it not been for Sharon Danley Going Gray and Loving It group , I would never have made it. But it was worth every miserable moment. No more chemical dyes every three weeks , dry rough hair. It’s like Freedom and honestly , i think I look better with light silver hair. My husband loves it too.
I'm so glad it worked out so well for you! Facebook support groups definitely helped me, too, during my transition. The support is invaluable!
Miserable today!!!! Been growing out my grey/silver for the past 3 months and I’ve been really proud of it!! Then yesterday my step family came round and felt the need to ask why I don’t go to the hairdressers and get it died grey if that’s what I aiming to do. Honestly I know I have demarcation and the died hair is brassy, but I’ve personally been happy because I thought it looked more like the sun had highlighted it. I know I have a long way to go but I did think I would get even a single compliment from someone who would say they could imagine what it’s going to look like when it’s fully grown out. The silver will suit my complexion so much more. Still it’s pulled me down quite a lot and I’m just going to pick myself up again and carry on ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that! I wish people wouldn't feel free to comment. Also, it's not easy to "dye your hair gray" unless you're a very light-haired person - and even then, it can cause serious damage. It's an ignorant comment. Keep carrying on - you can do this! We're here for you! xoxoxo
thank you!!!! I’m not giving up as I know it will be worth it. ❤
I needed to hear this especially the mortality topic. I am 43 and working on being ok with going grey. I've realized that I am so sad to give up my life as a brunette (and sometimes red head). I haven't come to terms with spending the second half of life with just one hair color - grey. Which I know technically isn't true but seems daunting.
I know what you mean - I felt that way for so long. I was very invested in my green-eyed brunette identity. But to my surprise, I don't miss it! You might be surprised, too (but no pressure - everyone has to do this on their own time - or never - whatever works)! The nice thing is that your natural hair will probably change over time (if and when it loses pigment). And some people play wtih wash-out colors - I'll be doing some videos about that soon. You have lots of options!
After watching so many videos the past week I have decided to go for ashy brown and start cutting my hair a few inches each visit. I just can't commit to grey yet. I tried and hated how I looked but I can't afford to have what I really want - my natural dark hair. It's going to show grown within weeks and I can't commit to covering that either. So the lighter brown seems it may help me ease into the grey and when I feel 100% about it I can cut a pixie and it won't take much to get rid of the remaining brown. I appreciate how many videos are out there explaining options though
That sounds like a good plan! I hope it works out well for you ❤️
I am getting grey blending done at the salon next and I cannot wait! I am done dying my roots!
I hope you have a wonderful experience!
I tried a silver dye.. zero effect.
Yeah, I tried this years ago when I first started going gray and now know that if you have brunette or black hair, these type of things don't really help you look more gray or silver. They work best on bleached blonde hair.
❤ I’m going to go with don’t chop it off. I also hate hair touching my face with a bob etc. I love seeing my long grey hair in all the colors and textures it chooses to do for me as it grows. And so many styling options. I don’t have the hang of what styles I could try or would work with my hair. Also I have chronic illnesses that sap my energy and cause pain. Making doing different styles draining or impossible. I’m considering getting a blow dryer. Joli recommended a good one recently. But I haven’t used heat or any styling tools in over 15 years. I do enjoy playing with my hair and I will braid sometimes. Mostly it’s up in a bun or just down and not done any specific style. I will be subscribing to see what you come up with and maybe you’ll inspire me. Your hair is beautiful and I think you will be sad if you cut it off. Plus you’ll be annoyed when you’re drinking your G&T and your hair keeps getting in your eyes or face. I’m happy you’re waiting before making a big decision. And if you cut please donate.
Thank you, Brenda! I'm leaning towards not cutting it for now - I still have to get off my butt and start experimenting with styles! It's hard as I have chronic shoulder pain (I see that you are also dealing with chronic health issues - so sorry to hear that)! But once I start experimenting I'll share here for sure!
I’m going white/gray cold turkey. My hair was colored blond. I’m slowly cutting off the colored ends.
That’s the way I did it! I love the cold turkey method. ♥️
I have very curly hair which i feel is my identity. You're the second person I've watched that said the curls could become straighter. That really scares me the most. I'm going to try to go gray but I'm only 9 weeks out from my last color and don't want my curls to straighten. That would be a nightmare for me because that would be two major changes in my hair rather than just the graying. Don't know if I could deal with that😮
@@barbkelly9604 I totally understand how that might turn you off. What was your hair texture like as a child? If it was curly as a child - pre-puberty - there’s a very good chance your gray hair will be curly too ❤️
@@KatieGoesPlatinum A little curly as a baby, then got kind of straight, then got VERY curly but don't remember at what age (must have been fairly young). I guess it will remain a mystery. Thanks for your response 😁
Not anywhere near LA, how do I get my hair to look like yours without another buz cut? What products do you use?
Hi! This is the list of the products I use currently: katiegoesplatinum.com/current-gray-hair-care-routine/
Thank you, I'm going to try the City Beauty but for eye lashes first, my eyebrows are coming back with some castor oil massaged in, but my eyelashes didn't respond much except for looking healthier. They are sparse but long, I have gaps due to a few health issues. I'm 70 I'll let you know! Used your coupon, again thank you! I did look at the eyebrow powders etc on EyeEmbrace but I can't seem to get the website to show me the product? Keeps saying no results? I tried several ways to no avail? But looking forward to getting a treat!
Got an email saying you loved my comment but see no sign?? Anyway just wanted to say I didn’t know this was coming from Europe? Hope there’s no duty to pay? I’m in Canada btw.
Hi, that's so odd - I hadn't responded yet (I just loved the comment right now). Re: City Beauty, they should ship from Los Angeles. I'm not sure why it says Europe? How odd ! You can reach out to them directly if you have any issues with the shipment - support@citybeauty.com. Did you ever have any luck with Eye Embrace? This is my affiliate link and it takes me directly there: eyeembrace.com/?ref=0bpgsal2oe - just click on Brows. Or you can go to eyeembrace.com and do the same - just click on Brows. Hope that helps! And hope you love the products - I do!
@@KatieGoesPlatinum Hmmm... well that IS odd! Re the Europe thing, maybe I'm assuming as the email tracking says at the top in a logo... Asendia by La Poste and Swiss Post. By that I thought it was coming from Europe because it also had a lot of jargon in the email about Canada Customs CBSA, and "transacting customs" blah blah?? But I know that America considers Canada "International" so it could just be that. And I may still have to pay duty over a certain amount, we'll see. I did contact the company and haven't heard back yet. Purchased 24th, nothing since but it was a weekend. Anyway the Eye Embrace, I just tried your link and clicked Brows and still says "no results, use fewer filters or clear all".... I did clear all but no luck. I also went to the website and the same result. Not sure why? It is Mercury Retrograde though and that affects electronic things, so... lol who knows! Like me getting an email that said you loved my comment before you did! 😂🤷♀ I will let you know how I like them!
OK, thanks! I hope everything worked out OK.
Idk if they look "younger" necessarily, but they all do look better. Maybe bc the hair dye wasn't complimentary to their complexions. That's an important question... Do we want to look like we're trying to look younger... or Do we want to look like our best most vibrant version of ourselves as we age?
That’s a great and important question!
Hi Katie - new subscriber & I laughing out loud! You could be describing me and the conversation I have with my 'Type A' self OFTEN. My hair, too, needs the weight to keep it from flipping out at the bottom, and when I cut it even to chin length it becomes very wavy. My suggestion to you is to simply have the bottom 'yellowing' few inches cut off and leave it long.. I now air dry my hair for the reason and leave it long, or - my favorite - pull it back into an elegant low ponytail. Don't cut it 'short' - you look beautiful and a trim will take care of the yellowing ends. You will hate the fuss of short hair - trust me....much more upkeep and 'fuss'. Thanks for this and your 'product' video - great!
Thank you - so glad you enjoyed the video! I agree with you - i know shorter hair might make me crazy! 🤪

Hi, Jill! So glad you liked my Paul Simon joke 😂! I was thrilled to find that photo of him that proved we had the same haircut! I haven't cut my hair yet 🙂
If the hair turns yellow, is there a way to get rid of it? Purple shampoo for instance?
Yes! Purple shampoo can help tone down the yellow. Here's a video that explains more about it in detail (and provides some alternatives): ruclips.net/video/tRvZJvAqwW4/видео.html
What about purple shampoo?
You shouldn't need purple shampoo when you first go gray. Purple shampoo's only purpose is to reduce yellow tones in gray hair and usually that builds up over time. That doesn't mean you can't use it, but it's not usually necessary. You can find out more here: ruclips.net/video/tRvZJvAqwW4/видео.html
I love your energy you must be an empath❤
not all who do this grow out get pretty silver hair. some of us get weird stripey brown and gray hair. mine didnt turn out even or healthy. it was dry and had no body.
I'm sorry to hear that. Is that still the case or did you go back to dyeing?
I am going grey because it seems I need it colored weekly...I'm in the phase/phrase...I'm over it...that includes coloring my hair...Im just going to let it grow out...I heard it will take 2 years
I understand feeling over it! Whether or not it takes two years depends on how long you want your hair to be and how quickly your hair grows. I wanted my hair to be shoulder length, and my hair grows much faster than average and it took me a little over 2 years.

Congratulations!

Do not forget about us men, some of us we go through precisely the same situation. With the pressure added that if you go grey from dyed hair people will then realise that your hair is dyed and there is still a taboo for men.
That's a good point.
Yes I do spend weeks talking myself in or out of cutting my long hair, I’m transitioning to grey and yo yo between carrying on or giving in to having colour. My hair was fairly long and I felt it looked a bit witch like so I’ve had it cut to shoulder length. It’s fine but I prefer long hair but I agree with all your negative points too! At the moment the hair on my crown is very white making my pink scalp more visible which I really don’t like. I’m trying to hang on to see what happens when I’m finally all grey!! Perhaps that will change. This is not an easy process and I keep wanting to give in to re colouring but I’m fed up the time and expense. But will I just look like a little old lady!!! 😂 Your honest comments made me laugh and struck a chord. Very helpful so thanks 🙏
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's so hard to decide, but I'm leaning towards keeping it fairly long. If you're having issues with your scalp showing you can try this great product from Silvering - I'm going to do a video review soon - it's awesome!

What is the flashing in the video? It is distracting.
Sorry - I used to have little metal disks on my front porch to keep birds from hitting our windows (and getting killed). I realized they were distracting so I took them down but have to find another solution (luckily, no birds have hit the windows since). Still haven't figured that out. But if you see my current videos you'll notice the flashing is gone :-)
@@KatieGoesPlatinum ok thank you. I was being nosy. I have trouble with birds and my large windows. Especially in the patio. It’s sad when one hits and dies. I enjoyed your video on going gray. I lost my hair during Covid. It is growing back gray and curly. I’m relearning how to care for it. All the best.
Yes, very sad when the bird strikes happen :-(. I'm so sorry to hear you lost your hair during Covid - but glad it's growing back! If you need curly tips, make sure to check out QuickSilverHair and Holistic Enchilada. They both know a lot!
Some purple shampoos are harsh with sodium laurel sulfate. Gota read the ingredients.
Oh, for sure. As I say in the video they can be very drying. My favorites don't include sulfates. I avoid sulfates like the plague.
