A lot of this really is community dependent, isn't it. It's harder to go grey in certain jobs or certain communities.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was at a poetry reading the other day. The poet is Renee Saklikar; she is of Indian heritage, a lawyer, (lives in BC) and has written a powerful book about the Air India disaster, in which her uncle and aunt were killed.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway. She has steel grey hair cut in a funky style, and I get the impression she wears it in a spirit of rebellion and resistance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change/page/2#post-1685770 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 04:38:20 +0000 catgirl 1685770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had an interesting experience with a relative (cousin's wife) this week - she is the first person who has asked me whether I really intended to have grey or had forgotten to color it.

I had read so followed advice on brows and lashes. I was already a silver and bright colour girl but some shades are lighter now. Red was my signatu re colour whereas I do blue now and more fuschias. I thought I would be able to do creams and tans but less so except in accessories. I still have a lot of black for corporate wear but add lots more white shine silver. I would like to do more of white light shoes etc. Like others I get more compliments than ever and needed to wear less makeup than when I died my hair dark brown as I guess I had been compensating for the loss of colour. My next plan is to grow my hair longer like those grey pinup pinterest women... I am 5 9, with white hair and I intend to own it!

I think it's a great idea. I feel it especially as I had to have oral surgery recently and the antibacterial mouthwash is very staining. Looking forward to my next cleaning.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look amazing in your olives, navies, and whites.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Vix</b>, the change was immediate and a bit shocking but in a <b>good</b> way. I was well and truly ready for it and I don't regret it for a second! I like to shake things up now and again and it had been a long time since I'd made a big shift in style. I totally agree about white in prints. Seems to add so much life, all of a sudden!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Real_me</b>, I was always cool in complexion and wore cool colours already for years.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Anchie</b>, I agree 100% that the right cut seems even more crucial with grey hair. But what is the "right cut"? I have been watching the women around me and have not come up with any generalizations -- as always, it depends on individual factors. What looks hip and current on one will not on another.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>cjh</b>, I recall you used to wear a fair bit of brown and tan so this must have been a bit of an adjustment. But it's good to hear that &nbsp;you still feel happy with your overall style and it sounds as if the transition is treating you well. (Show us some outfits!) :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, thank you! That pretty much summarizes what people are saying so far on the thread. Great to know.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Andrea</b>, it sounds as if you have beautiful cool colouring and know what works for you!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change/page/2#post-1684733 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 15:54:18 +0000 texstyle 1684733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is right in between golden and silver - and it's long so it's very much a part of my style. I have found (so far) that I don't need to change up my colors too much - I still love olive green (matches my eyes), deep cool browns, navy, charcoal, white and some jewel tones. I've recently started wearing gold jewelry again after wearing silver for a long time (thinking I "should"). I even love some of my gold jewelry against charcoal gray. I do agree that as the hair lightens, the brows are more and more important and it's probably best to keep some color on my lips, even though they are dark by default.</p> <p>My mom in law has gone totally silver/white and I noticed recently that she looks amazing in silver and silver blue tones. Her brows seem to be dark still and pretty full so she is lucky in that respect.</p> <p>I think it's not a bad idea to consider teeth whitening (if needed) and things like that. And SHINE on the hair is also very important to me. I use either Argan or Jojoba oil these days and only use shampoo a couple times a week, using conditioner only on the other days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change/page/2#post-1684722 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 15:17:17 +0000 Vix 1684722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Suz --</p> <p>Loving the stories/photos from YLFers, especially the ones that are new to me.</p> <p>As my 1st year going grey-iversary closes in, not much has changed for me -- but I'm open to more shifts as my hair continues to evolve from its current state (dark in back, salt and pepper on sides, big and smaller grey streaks in front). I found a photo of my dad in his early 60s that shows a similar pattern, so am hoping I'll hold here for a while so I can continue to ease into life as a semi-brunette. </p> <p>[That's one big reason I stopped coloring -- didn't want to deal with the near-overnight visual shift of dyed to natural. I do think that often requires a period of integration that can be tough...hope the surprise has worn off when you look in the mirror!]</p> <p>Letting the roots come in while keeping hair at/near shoulders (aka ombre hair) has driven me to wearing a lot more of my prints that have white/grey in them to echo the chaos above. I spent most of my spring/summer budget on that type of item and am glad I did!&nbsp;With a couple inches left of dyed hair and less variegation, I'm turning back to solids.</p> <p>I think it's tricky to get our natural levels of contrast right to begin with and that continues as hair shifts so I'm sure continued experimentation is in my future.</p> <p>Otherwise --&nbsp; <ul> <li>Coarse wavy hair pre-grey = embracing Curly Girl techniques ("washing" with conditioner regularly, sulfate-free shampoo 1/week or so, etc) for several years.</li> <li>Consult from a freelancer (vs store-based) skincare and eco-makeup expert a few years ago re skin health/appearance and colors with a goal of maximum glow/minimal makeup in flattering colors.

I never liked brown, beige and muted colors so there was no need to change my wardrobe color palette. I could probably use more strong make-up now, because I can look washed out, but it is still not part of my everday rutine. Hearcut style is the most impotant in my opinion. Unfortunatly, in my part of the world, when hairstylists see gray hair they immediatly go for very matronly short hairstyle. I would like to go shorter and edgier, but I don't have hairstylist that I trust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change/page/2#post-1684682 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:13:55 +0000 cjh 1684682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots to read here, which I haven't. HA. As my hair has acquired more gray around my face mostly, I've gravitated toward more silver jewelry, especially earrings; brighter lipstick - reds and dark pinks; a lot less brown and tan in clothing colors; grays instead of blacks sometimes; more monotone and/or neutral outfits. I think the reason for this last is because I feel my hair has MORE color, paradoxically, as it's not only brown, but silver and brown.</p> <p>I don't know as my "style" has changed as much as my chosen colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change/page/2#post-1684668 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 13:56:06 +0000 Angie 1684668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great thoughts here, Suz.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, my clients who transition to grey hair seem to: change their make-up routine, re-address their brow definition, add more grey to their wardrobes, and wear more colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change/page/2#post-1684662 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 13:47:28 +0000 Anonymous 1684662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 44 now, got my first silver strand at age 14. My base color is very, very dark brown (nearly black). I've never once colored it, and it's been some variation of a pixie for 23 years.</p> <p>It's still not totally silver; I have a higher percentage of silver in the front than the back, but it's gradually shifting over time. My eyebrows are still very, very dark, as are my eyes.</p> <p>Black has always been one of my best colors, and still is. High contrast still works well for me, and I'd say it works best. I've always been better in cool colors, too, and that is even more so the more silver I get (beige, peach, cream, &amp; most pale colors are death on me).&nbsp;</p> <p>I do find that more saturated colors work a bit better close to my face, and while I"m still drawn to white tops in summer, it *must* be super white and it helps if my skin has a bit of color to it, otherwise I look ghostly.</p> <p>As for makeup, I haven't changed my routine much over the years, but emphasizing the eyes really does make a difference (I only line the top and wear mascara; occasionally wear eyeshadow) and a bit of cream blush on the apples of my cheeks -- just enough for a 'flush' -- really wakes me up, where for years I never wore blush except on rare occasions. My brows have become really important, too; I don't need to fill them, just keep them shaped, but they make a huge difference. And lip color helps a lot; I think it balances out my face and keeps the contrast going. I never wear anything super dark, a MLBB shade of gloss is best for me.</p> <p>I am regularly approached by total strangers because of my hair (my husband just laughs about it now). Sometimes people think I'm older than I am from a distance, but then they see my face (I have very oily skin and no wrinkles) and are terribly confused.... Without a doubt it is my signature, and I wouldn't have it any other way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change/page/2#post-1684626 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 12:51:50 +0000 Suz 1684626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Isabelle</b>, your greys are both beautiful and dignified. What I'm learning from you and <b>Joy</b> and others who have never coloured their hair is that it's quite a different experience to go slowly into that silvery night than suddenly!&nbsp;</p> <p>Despite my hairdresser's constant protestations that I wasn't "grey enough to go grey," I went from blonde to downright silver in literally an hour so it was quite an adjustment. I guess there was a lot more silver there than she thought! I'm glad I already had short hair or that would have been another bump.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Retailgirl</b>, I have always loved those periwinkle blues and I still find them magical. They're not always easy to find in the type of clothes I like. I'm glad to hear you still wear gold jewellery. It feels "off" on me right now but I am not getting rid of it until I am more adjusted.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Staysfit</b>, you and I had a similar transition. I missed hair appointments for a while, my stylist moved to another location, and I noticed that I liked the roots better than the dye. So -- CHOP! Your story inspired me; when I read on the forum that it had only taken you four months, I decided it was time for me to take the leap as well. As for colours, like you, I'm not adjusting mine all that much but I agree that white is now better than before, especially in a pattern.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Una</b>, do you know I don't even know how to do a catseye? I am loving this idea of electric blue for you!! What you said about going from a colour hair to a neutral is extremely pertinent for my main discoveries re colour. Not only is it a neutral, it's a neutral with quite a lot of dimension compared to my dyed blonde (which already had more dimension than some dyed blondes). It's changing the kinds and colours of patterns I prefer near my face.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Irina</b>, YES to the accessories. I have always been a bit this way. I don't wear a lot of jewellery period, but I think that is largely because I've had trouble finding bold jewellery that is scaled to my petite frame. I find bold looks better on me -- but a lot of bold is just too darned big for me.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, your silvers are so very beautiful. Your hair really is your crowning glory and "finishes" your look in such an amazing way. I love how you experiment with all the trends and look so current.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684601 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:30:38 +0000 skylurker 1684601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, no words of wisdom from me because I didn't "transition" to grey hair, I never covered them.<br /> (I'm the last person you want to ask about hair and make-up anyway :)</p> <p>Recently I fell out of love with light grey and now I don't like pale blue as much as I used to, but I don't know if it has anything to do with my hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684593 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:20:43 +0000 retailgirl 1684593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never colored my hair. My dark brown, almost black hair started to go gray in my thirties. I'm 66 now and it's salt and pepper, you can tell it was dark once. I'm a winter and always held to wearing " winter" colors, but there were a few exceptions, that, now that I'm grayer, I no longer wear. Camel, yellow. Black looks good on me, and I love to wear almost any shade of gray. Red was and is a fave, but I'm leaning more towards blues, esp. Periwinkles and purple-y Blues. I find silver jewelry and pearls look good, but I have a lot of gold jewelry and I continue to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684572 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 10:05:31 +0000 Staysfit 1684572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far I have mostly changed my make-up because my transition to grey was relatively recent. Going grey was a fortuitous accident for me. I was in the hospital and missed a hair appointment. I went eight weeks without, when I normally went every three. It allowed me to glimpse more of the grey and decide it was time. The full transition took around four months so it was quick. I have received nothing but complements from friends and strangers alike, and it has saved me time and money. I miss spending long hours with my hairdresser who is my friend after 20 years, but it's still good. Oh, and I didn't really change my hairstyle either. It gets tweaked a tiny bit here and there, but I like it short and pixie like. </p> <p>I haven't changed what I chose to purchase in terms of clothing. I still pick according to my style moniker, Serene Elegance. I am not more classic or edgy, etc. my color palette and contrast level hasn't changed although I have tried hard to wear and purchase as little black as possible.</p> <p>Here are the things I have changed:<br /> 1. I always wear a lip color, either bold or light.<br /> 2. I always wear eye liner, usually a grey blue, or a bold light green, or teal<br /> 3. I changed my mascara to navy instead of brown<br /> 4. I have an array of Blush colors depending on what lip or eye liner I use<br /> 5. I wear more silver jewelry, or I mix metals, but I am not wearing darker gold alone<br /> 6. I am slowly purchasing more mid tone grey as a primary neutral base for my wardrobe, no camel, brown, or tan, but I do wear cool taupe<br /> 7. I am planning to stay away from dark indigo denim<br /> 8. I look better in white now so l am slowly adding more to my wardrobe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684541 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 06:13:29 +0000 catgirl 1684541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I have changed my makeup! But that may have to do with getting older and not hair. Filling in brows, highlighter, and recently I'm using this crazy electric blue eyeliner - just a thin line over a black cateye that seems to brighten my face.</p> <p>I can see how black would suit you well now, Suz. Going from blonde to grey is a lot different than going from black to grey. I was always in the black-grey-white palette, whereas you are changing from color to neutral hairwise. If you think of your hair the way you would a scarf or hat, it makes sense, right? Kind of like reverse bookending. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684519 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 04:10:24 +0000 Irina 1684519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I don't have long lashes either, kind of average. I bought a curler and watched YouTube videos. A lot of good it did to me I am a slow learner :)<br /> I finally ask my neighbor to show me. He is a friend and a make up artist (not the department counter type, he works mostly for advertising) and private clients). Although I can not exactly replicate what he did, I curl the best I can :)<br /> Also, I noticed that some accessories no longer work for me. Now, it's either go bold or go almost without. I don't have bold yet, so I use minimal- a delicate gold chain or a single row of tiny beads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684512 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 03:27:42 +0000 Anonymous 1684512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I've been on this journey a long time.&nbsp; I did not dye my hair except for "streaking" or subtle highlights as it was turning grey.&nbsp; I was very taupey grey before 50.&nbsp; The colors I wore were the biggest style change.&nbsp; For the first time, black looked pretty good on me but the red jewel tones that I'd liked did not.&nbsp; For awhile I favored colors that were greyed or murky and cream for white.&nbsp; My hair color kept changing to a more silver shade and clear colors started looking better.&nbsp; It is still changing.&nbsp; I am more grey than my mother ever was.</p> <p>As for style, this was before YLF.&nbsp; I had gained menopause weight and needed size 10s or mediums with even an occasional size large.&nbsp; I was a frumpy dresser but didn't know how to change that.&nbsp; I did not wear jeans and wore loose oversized clothing.&nbsp; However this was the time when oversized was the style. Earrings, big ones, were part of my style.&nbsp; My hair was several inches below my shoulders and I usually wore it up in a French roll or loose bun or pulled back low and tied with a black ribbon.&nbsp; I got lots of compliments on it but needed a change eventually and went for an angled bob, shorter in back.&nbsp; Someday when I need to have very easy hair, I will grow it out again and put it up.</p> <p>YLF has rocked my style world.&nbsp; My outfits are much more interesting now and I am more adventurous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684510 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 03:23:29 +0000 Suz 1684510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carla</b>, that dress looks amazing on you, I love it. But I was thinking of a colour closer to this...maybe a bit lighter/ brighter but not necessarily.

Mine don't have enough length, I think, to curl. Your style changes resonate with me. I am finding that purely classic items work less well. There needs to be some currency to the look.<b> Caro</b> in Oz has said much the same.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684509 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 03:14:00 +0000 Irina 1684509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, like other ladies here, I did some changes to my make up - stronger eye make up and deeper lip. I started to curl my eyelashes and it made a difference. Black color became my friend together with ink. But I also started albeit slowly, make adjustments to my style. Somehow, some surely classical pieces no longer work. I put on true and trusted crew neck cardigan with a pair of straight pant and doesn't look "timeless" but rather hmm... old. I look now for different shapes, this is how COS became my favorite store. I appreciate more simple but slightly oversized tops and less to no print. I feel I need more contemporary items but must be careful not to get overwhelmed by them. So, yes, my grey hair is changing my style. Hopefully for the best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-hair-how-did-your-style-change#post-1684505 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 03:05:01 +0000 Carla 1684505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Shevia about shades of grey. Silver and light grey = fab, charcoal and dark grey = not so fab.</p> <p>This the (French) blue you mean, Suz? (I'm wearing the heck out of my new shirt-dress/tunics.) </p>
