I blamed it on the aging process, but I now think it was the dyed hair that sapped all the color out of my face.Why do I think this? Because once I stopped dyeing and embraced my grays, my complexion brightened up considerably!I am surprised to find that I look younger in photos now than I while I was dyeing my hair.Other silver sisters I’ve spoken to feel the same. It’s a common refrain in the gray hair Facebook support groups: Mother Nature knows what she is doing!I asked my silver sisters if they’d be kind enough to contribute their photos to this post so we could check this phenomenon out.I think you’ll see what I see: the gray creates a softening/brightening effect to the complexion, which is really flattering, especially compared to the harsher effect created by dyed hair.Note: All of the Instagram and other photos on this site are used with permission. Please show your support to these awesome gray hair influencers by following them on social media. You’ll be inspired, I promise. ❤️The next group of Before/After pictures were shared with me on Silver Revolution,&nbsp;the&nbsp;awesome Facebook silver sister support group.Sometimes, people ask me “Why is there a need for support groups?”Why?! Because it is nearly impossible to go silver without getting some (or a lot!) of negative feedback, so it REALLY helps to have a great group of online friends giving you the support that you might not be receiving at home or in society.Anyway, on to the photos:Look again at the photos: Even the ladies who are not fully gray have a vibrancy to their complexion. To me (at least), their faces seem brighter.And, as opposed to the scare tactics thrown at us by ad agencies and beauty magazines, I don’t think any of these ladies look “20 years older!”, do you?If you’re on the fence about going gray, or if you just started your transition process and are curious about what you might look like in the future, check out these fun apps!They aren’t 100% accurate, but they’re definitely entertaining.Hair Color Booth (Apple)Hair Color Changer (Android)YouCam Makeup Magic Selfie Cam (Apple)YouCam Makeup Magic Selfie Cam (Android)And here’s a website that offers a way for you to see how you’d look with a different hair color: The Right HairstylesAs you can see above, gray hair does not automatically make one look older, despite what the ad agencies would have us believe.In fact, in many cases, it improves our looks by enhancing our complexion and by making us happier internally as we stop worrying about what other people think and start following our own path.Is it possible that you might stop dyeing and end up unhappy with your natural color? There’s always that chance. But why not give it a shot? If you hate your gray hair, you can always go back to dyeing.But you’ll never know until you try!Want to see more beautiful transitions to gray hair?

I am dark brunette and decided to do the strip dye technique, instead of cold turkey or baby highlights. It was a tough decision but I had my hair strip dyed last night and LOVE it! Love watching the journey of all these beautiful, courageous women!ReplyMy hair is long (mid back) and I’ve been presently coloring it a ginger reddish brown. My hair has gotten darker with age (I’m 60) and I have some gray hair but not a lot. Would love to stop coloring just to avoid the cost every 6 to 7 weeks but I’m afraid that it will look all dull and drab.ReplyHi Ladies,I am now 52 and I dyed my hair for the last time the day before the first lockdown in 2020. All my girlfriends advised against it. Seventeen months later and I have a full healthy head of almost silver hair and I absolutely love it! Those same girlfriends now insist that I must never even consider getting low lights. I laugh now at how nervous I was about making the decision to embrace this positive life enhancing change.ReplyWow! They all look younger and prettier with their natural grey hair! The dye actually made them look older! Is it just me who thinks that?(I’m 32, got lots of greys already, and haven’t colored my hair to cover them – at least not yet, still like my greys haha)ReplyThanks Katie I really liked the list espc 17th.ReplyI had thought about going gray, had been a redhead for a long time! Well, the pandemic made the final decision for me. After 2 months with no color or cut I was half way there! When I was able to get to the salon, had a very short spiky pixie which cut off most of the red except for the top! 2 more cuts should do.Love it! Glad I did it, don’t think it makes me look old!ReplyIn every one of the before and after pictures, not one of the ladies looks any older with their natural gray hair! In fact, each one of their faces and hair color are so much softer because the drastic contrast between harsh dyed hair colors and their natural skin tone is gone. At this particular point in time, with all the salons closed due to Covid, I am absolutely thrilled I let my hair grow out because I am not having to deal with the myriad of problems that ladies are struggling with due to the salons being closed! Say Yes to Mother Nature. You’ll be so glad you did!ReplyThank you for inspiration!ReplyI stopped dyeing at 45! I got my first grays at 23 right after my first child was born. I have been called a Grandma by the Walmart cashier who looked older than me. My 8 years old daughter was with me. I corrected the cashier and let her know that just because a woman has gray hair does not make her a grandma. She came back with, “Well, I am a Grandma.” And I reminded her that I was not just because I had gray hair. For whatever reason, she was offended.ReplyStarted to let my white roots come in 5 months ago. Was a level 10 blonde color. Decided I couldn’t take the stripe of different hair color anymore . Went to salon as soon as it opened and had my hair color done all white. It is stunning g and I love it. So so many compliments. Will never look back. Just know that this is another option if you can’t stand the difference in the 2 colors. Hope this helps somebody. Also I am 72 yrs young and have shoulder length hair.ReplyI do that, too! I only have a little gray peeking through at the crown. Agreed that it is easier, and perfectly acceptable! Some purists frown on this. I applaud you! It’s our right! Happy Thanksgiving! Just to mix it up, I sometimes do a temporary pink color on it, and it gradually melts away, and it’s just fun!ReplyI thought I’d cut my hair short to help the process but the cut was wrong so in order to correct it I had to cut it a bit more and I totally hate the cut! With gray coming in too I worry I’ll cave. I have been blonde for years but my natural color is a light ash brown. Didn’t going platinum damage your hair? What do you recommend I do?ReplyI am 63 . I decided 15 months ago to stop dying my hair . Best decision ever !!!I get compliments all the time.It is very liberating to say the least .ReplyI am 76 and transiting to grey I have been at it almost 2 years I feel great gone are those lines when the Blonde grew out I have let it grow long and love itReplyI decided to stop dyeing my hair at least 5 years ago. I had to do it once a month!!! I’m not sorry one bit. After it was all grown out a few of my friends bravely decided they were going to stop dyeing also. Many people have told me they would pay money to get my hair color. I guess that means I did the right thing. All my friends hair are beautiful as well. We are all over 60.ReplyI stopped dying my hair 3 years ago. I an 70 years old. I get all kinds of compliments. If I had realized I would love my hair as much as I do, I would not have waited so long.ReplyI’m so glad I found this group!!! I’m 70 and just decided enough is enough! I’m done with the dye!Some days I look at my hair and get a little nervous so the group support will be helpful.ReplyI loved all the pictures I am 65 and just. stopped coloring my hair it has been 4 months now my hair is very long and might now cut it It is very hard having 4daughters each giving me their fashion advice your posts help me alot I’M not ever going backReplyI love all these pictures! There is truly a confidence, a sparkle and peaceful look in the “after dye” pictures. ?.ReplyGray or white hair is the fashion trend right now. I’ve been gray for a few years now. I got tired of coloring the roots. I’m so jealous of all the women that have beautiful natural solid white hair. I had my hairdresser bleach mine hoping for the solid white look but it didn’t turn out like I’d hoped. So it will be growing out again to my natural color. And I think long gray hair is gorgeous if taken care of and styled.ReplyBeautiful pics Katie. I’ve been thinking about going gray for a long time now and these pics just settled it. I’m tired of covering the gray too. It’s now time to let it shine just like my silver sisters!!ReplyWow! Everyone looks so beautiful! I’m not afraid to go natural (which will be sooner than later) thank you. And my husband should be proud of his silver too!ReplyI’m so much more confident now that I’ve grown out my gray. Before I was consumed with coloring my roots, and when would I have time, scheduling my weekends around it. That’s just crazy, I get so many compliments on my hair!! If you are thinking about it, DO IT!!ReplyBeen 5 or 6 months since color and I decided to see what my natural color is. I am 59 so by next year ill have my answer. These posts are motivating!!ReplyInteresting. To me, the age issue is neither here nor there. Rather, my perception is that all of them were rather bland and non-descript other (than safe and banal) in their before photos. It’s in their after photos that they come to life! They all shine literally and figuratively. What an amazing process!ReplyHonest thoughts- they are all beautiful in both pictures but the silver hair makes each one look amazing- younger and fresher!ReplyThank you for featuring me….and many others.Wondeful to see how we all glow with our Silver!ReplyEveryone looks so much prettier with silver!!!! Beautiful fotos and thanks for posting 🙂ReplyNice but I don’t see anyone 60 or older . I guess because the point was that gray hair is not just for old people?ReplyTHIS IS MY FAVORITE!! LOVE ALL THE PICS KATIE!ReplyIn EVERY CASE, they look at least as good if not amazingly better, silver. Sometimes they do look older, but when did older become such a bad thing? With age comes wisdom! Love these beautiful transformational images!ReplyAnd don’t forget, for most of us it took a couple years or more to grow out the dye, so we are in fact older in the silver pic! It’s cool though, isn’t it?Reply
