Hi all, as above i am looking for some personal blogs. I don't really like social media FB/Insta/TikTok etc so I am not looking for direction to them. Maybe YT is its exceptional and non advertisy.

I am just looking for individuals journals, and or genuine reviews of products and approaches. The internet is drowning in affiliate and compilation pages when I just want to have a look around at how other tackled it, and some reasonable priced products.

Happy for your stories too.

I’m completely silver/grey at this point! Started going grey when I was really young, like 12/13 years old. I’m in my late thirties now.

I used to dye my hair all sorts of colors and then when Covid shut everything down, I figured it was time to grow it out since my hair was over 50% grey at that point. Haven’t touched it since! I’ve read of women getting a dye job where the stylist kinda blends the dye with the incoming grey.

Grey hair tends to be a different texture than the original hair; more wiry and thicker. Since my hair is normally very fine, this was an improvement to my hair texture! I did have to sorta relearn how to style my hair over the years as more grey came in.

I like to use purple shampoo and conditioner to keep brassy tones out. Right now I’ve got L’Oréal Ever Pure shampoo and conditioner. Purple shampoos and conditioner can be drying!! Some brands I prefer to use just once a week and regular shampoo in between.

Let me know if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them!!

    I think I am in a similar position. I feel like I need to relearn how it will be cut/styled. And of course the products. There’s a lot of marketing going on.

    I don’t use many products at all so I don’t have very many recommendations there. The most I might use is a heat protector spray before using a straight iron.

    I got my hair cut on the shorter side and that seems to be a better length with the grey.
