My stylist is always trying to talk me into covering my grays(which have really been multiplying quickly!) &nbsp;But I just love the &nbsp; freedom of not going to the salon. &nbsp;I like to think it's my little rebellion. &nbsp;What's funny is my mom isn't gray (because she colors), but I have lots of gray "highlights!" I truly believe that gray doesn't age you if your haircut and personal style are current, and you have such great style!</p> <p>Anchie, your hair is lovely too. You ladies are great inspiration for me!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady/page/2#post-1513292 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 20:54:30 +0000 Aida 1513292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's coming along really nicely Una! I wonder where the red is from? Perhaps a remnant of color stripping for the blue, if that was necessary. I kind of love the dip-dyed look with the black ends </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady/page/2#post-1513290 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 20:51:57 +0000 anchie 1513290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous hair. Both cut and color. It suits you very well and does not look aging in my book. But I may be biased because I started the same journey about 3 years ago. My experience was very positive. Lot of compliments and encouraging comments. Well, except one colleague who openly told me that he liked my hair better before and when will I start coloring again.But I can not imagine going back, it is so freeing and my hair is much healthier now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady/page/2#post-1513272 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 20:08:11 +0000 catgirl 1513272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the purple shampoo too! </p> <p>Here's a better pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady/page/2#post-1513271 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 20:06:55 +0000 deb 1513271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are almost there!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady/page/2#post-1513269 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 20:01:43 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1513269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just this morning, someone I haven't seen in a long time said "oh, you've highlighted your hair! It looks great!" No highlights other than my greys, which are growing in in nice streaks. I use a purple shampoo from John Frieda and once a month I use the John Frieda purplish glaze (intended for light blonde hair) and it's shiny and smooth. It took me a long time to get used to how it looks, maybe four years since I last colored it all over (I used a brunette glaze for awhile because I felt washed out until I got used to it). I think your hair looks great. I'd love to see your cut when you aren't dipping your chin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady/page/2#post-1513268 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 19:50:43 +0000 Susie 1513268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks amazing, Una. I don't think it's aging at all, probably because you have such a chic style. </p> <p>I am not ready to stop coloring yet but several months ago I talked to my stylist about going more ash blonde. So he added a lot more platinum highlights so that they would be closer to&nbsp;the whites/greys that are becoming more plentiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady/page/2#post-1513260 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 19:28:51 +0000 Peri 1513260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whenever I see a woman who is grey, silver, pewter, whatever word you like, with a modern, edgy cut, I am always stunned by how gorgeous it is. The combo of those things seems almost ageless, and so chic. I imagine if I got to see you IRL I would think that for sure!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513257 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 19:06:09 +0000 Marley 1513257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful hair Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513255 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 19:03:45 +0000 catgirl 1513255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes that was the issue for me - flat was unnatural and weirdly seemed more aging. highlights too much work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513218 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:38:43 +0000 MsMaven 1513218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that your hair is gorgeous right now and it works well with your style. I'm in the process as well, and it is a pain. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never colored it.</p> <p>I don't think gray hair is necessarily aging--the hairstyle is important too. If a woman has a dated or "I've given up" hairstyle, she's going to look older whether she dyes it or not.</p> <p>Speaking of hair color, I noticed quite a few older men with dyed hair in Paris. It generally doesn't look good--all one color, flat. They should leave a bit of gray at the temples. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513204 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:12:23 +0000 JAileen 1513204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your grey!</p> <p>I went grey a couple years ago. Most people my age don't have such white hair (my stylist calls it platinum). As a result, some people think I'm older than I am, but look young for the age they think I am. I'm finding old men (approaching my father's age) trying to engage me in conversation when that never happened before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513194 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:00:21 +0000 catgirl 1513194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, not a lot of comments on the color, but people often compliment the cut. I'm trying to assess how I feel about it, and what I think people are thinking when they see me now. Like, am I becoming more invisible? Gaining or losing anything intangible? I'd love to hear from those of you who made this transition and what people said. It's not as striking a change as I expected, but that was my idea - to do it before it was too much of a shock. Please be honest if you see it in my WIWs and think it's really aging me. I don't mind looking my age but I don't want to look older than my age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513193 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:59:55 +0000 Peri 1513193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it...looks ombre!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513190 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:56:48 +0000 Style Fan 1513190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks beautiful.&nbsp; Every now and then I wonder if I should start colouring my hair but I stop myself.&nbsp; The gray looks wonderful on others.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513186 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:54:30 +0000 CocoLion 1513186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first thing I noticed was the bits of red and how much I liked that! &nbsp;So by chopping most of it but by leaving bits of it, it looks really interesting. &nbsp;It looks more intentional.</p> <p>Thanks for continuing to share your journey, it's fascinating. &nbsp;Are you getting any comments outside of YLF? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513178 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:48:03 +0000 Janet 1513178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fantastic!</p> <p>I'm so terrified of the day when I finally give in to the greys. I don't really like the idea of a pixie cut for me (another small head person here who feels self-conscious with short hair), so I don't know how the heck I'll deal with it when the time comes, especially with my wavy/curly hair. I so envy sleek straight hair this time of year, when the humidity renders mine a frizzy mop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513142 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 15:42:28 +0000 gardenchick 1513142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ongoing inspiration. I think it looks great!</p> <p>&nbsp;As you know I'm growing out my grey too..it is definitely in that transition phase and challenging to stay with it...I look at it every day and question my decision. At this point I also feel like I have a rainbow of hair color shades in my hair! I will upload a picture soon &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513116 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 15:02:50 +0000 Elle 1513116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your natural color is so beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513112 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:58:05 +0000 Suz 1513112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I think the variation in the grey/ black is wonderful and your hair looks so healthy and gorgeous!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-growout-slow-and-steady#post-1513110 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:56:20 +0000 Anonymous 1513110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks thick and healthy and the color is great. In this part of the country, letting hair go grey is so rare that it is sort of subversive and fun. Probably more shocking than a nose ring, which have become common and boring. </p>
