This is the 4th part in a multi-part video that Mrs. Like did on her hair. Like It Or Not is not a beauty channel, but it is a bit about life and one big change that's happening in 2020 is that Mrs. Like decided to grow out her grey. It was partially brought on by the pandemic and partly brought on just the exhaustion of getting her hair colored every 8 weeks (probably could have gone every 4 to be honest, but hey money). WHAT TO EXPECT |
More information about the decision to grow grey by Mrs. Like | My last hair appointment was at the end of January (Jan. 29, 2020 to be exact). I briefly discussed considering in the future just letting my hair grow grey silver white hair with my hair stylist. She suggested something I could to do make that transition less harsh, but really for me when the time came around to it I knew that I would try to tough it out and grow grey naturally.
The main reason for that is financial, but the other reason is that I don't handle change well so going from a pretty natural color to all over highlight grey would have been too much for my emotional health. In January, I did NOT decide I was going grey for life. In fact, I scheduled an appointment in March to get my hair dyed again. Then, the shut down orders began falling down the pikes. That whole week things were shutting down left and right. On the day I was scheduled to get my hair dyed was the last day salons were allowed to be open. I decided to give my spot away to someone else that might need it more and just wait the pandemic out. I had no idea how long that wait would be. The longer the pandemic has gone on the more I began to think that maybe this is the push I need that I just need to grow the gray out. There were so many supportive comments from close friends and I found an Instagram community of silver sisters experiencing the same thing. I decided maybe the time wasn't in the future, but the time was now. I am going to be naturally grey. It's time. On the day I filmed this video, there was no going back. I mean technically I could go back to hair dye, but I've already had over 5 months of growth who wants to relive that first 5 months of growth over again? The original plan was to update it every month, but that just didn't happen. However, you can see the gradual changes with the videos put out. This video obviously wasn't the beginning of the journey. The trouble was that I didn't know the beginning was in fact the beginning when I began it. That might not even make sense. We all have to start somewhere. I just happened to start 5 months in during a pandemic. It has now been almost 9 months since my final hair color. I've had one hair cut in that time. I will be getting another hair cut in November. I decided it was best to go in 4 month increments for hair cuts. That way it could grow a lot and then I could get 2 or 3 inches cut off. Pictures don't do the grey justice, but here are a couple of before & after my hair cut. One is taken on July 21st and the other July 23rd. BEHIND THE SCENES | This video was filmed on July 2nd and not published onto our channel until July 24th. It was originally supposed to be a hair tutorial on how to french braid hair, but that kinda of flopped as it didn't look very good. It was also really long so broke it up into parts and this was one of my favorite parts of the series all about hair because it was the first time I said out loud that I was doing this.
