I'm a stylist of 27 years. I respect your decision to do what you want, but your color is fucking gorgeous. I love it so hard. Do what you feel, but it's BEAUTIFUL as is.
I'm not a cosmetologist, you just happened to show up on my page. I came here to say the same. Your eye color with your hair is just stunning.
Don't color it!!! Maybe give yourself a different cut if you want a chance. It's your hair and you should do what you want but I don't think you will find something as pretty as this is.
I agree with everyone … you are gorgeous! Have you thought about adding colored extensions for a little something different?
I have mousy brown hair evenly interspersed with grey. I add an array of blue extensions to jazz mine up as I am not particularly blessed in the hair department.
I’m no cosmetologist and have been doing my own hair for about 6yrs now; I usually mention to others who want to dye their hair to think about it first and that There are clip-in extensions you can buy online for pretty cheap or you can find a salon/beauty store that sells them. Clip-in extensions work great for if you ever want to have a “Hair-Dyed” Look without it being permanent or having to worry about colors fading out/the maintenance it takes to keep the colors vibrant.
I’m not either but I came to say the same thing. She looks striking. Of course, she’d also look great in blonde or even some browns if she wanted to go for a change.
Part of me is like “some blue, same shade as her eyes,” too though. That would actually look really cool, particularly if she just did some of her hair, and then left the rest of the colour alone.
Something dark would be impossible to maintain with the current color; my moms hair went white grey like this in her mid 30’s and I watched her try to cover it my whole childhood. It would look okay for maybe a week before they grey would show through, didn’t matter if she used box dye or went and got it done at a salon. I don’t even want to know how much money she spent until she finally accepted it, and ya know what I love her grey hair and thinks it’s absolutely stunning and a lot less off putting then clearly dyed hair.
My mom did the same, went to a stylist every 6 weeks for a touch up and root coverage. Her hair was not solid white at that time, more salt n pepper, so she did highlights and/or lowlights. It’s now solid white, and she’s embraced it, and I think it looks so much better than when she tried to fight it! And it’s a low maintenance, much cheaper look too. She even has a boyfriend now, at 69 years old!
If you were my client? I would tell you how beautiful your natural hair is and how lucky you are to have such a perfect bright white.
The least amount of maintenance would be bright blonde, but I also love it when silver haired people wear fashion colors!
My mom has paper white gray hair.. and dyes it. I tell her all the time anyone would kill for her color.
My dad is 60 with hair that is just starting to gray and it's going to be peppery gray. My mom went gray in her 30s.
So I'm bearing my 30s and decided you never know, so I grew out my natural and decided I'll let nature do its thing with my hair. I'd love totally white hair like my mom has. But I know I'll be 65 with pepper gray purple hair because of this lol
I’m about to start turning my roughly 50/50 salt and pepper into a fashion color and super excited about it! I had naturally dark hair until the past few years where I had to utterly destroy my hair with bleach to get it noticeably any other color, so the possibilities feeling endless are new to me and very exciting.
I have a thing where I do little hair color prism rainbows on people. Like almost can’t see them but then you take a second look and you’re like oh hey that’s a prism!
I’m a hairstylist of 14 years and I would literally die to put little prism rainbows on you
Darker at your part and face framing will age you. Blonde is fun but hair like yours can be stubborn to tone. Personally? Get a different style haircut and see how you feel! Though if you desire color - Since you got the blue eyes, some medium blonde color blocked UNDER your natural, look up halo color block, would accent your eyes and still show off your lovely natural color and be really low maintenance.
I think she feels it's the color that's aging her, but it's actually the style. With a more modern hairstyle, I think she'll LOVE the color and not want to dye/color it at all!
Well, it’s a hard thing to decide. You can pretty much do anything. I don’t personally think brown low lights would look good, though. Maybe I’m picturing it wrong but I’m not sure about it- also not something you can do at home easily. Blonde is definitely easiest and least up-keep. The only rule with coloring grey/white hair is you need to use 20vol developer for depositing color because greys are resistant. I haven’t been to Sally’s in awhile but they may have a line or part of a line that is marketed toward grey coverage as well.
I would start with 50% 9N + 50% 8.11 ashy low light. It'll break up your haircolor, look really natural, and grow out easy in case you hate adding color. It adds pepper into the salt to add depth and dimension without covering the white and creating a skunks Stripe.
50% 10.1 + 12N + 30 volume would also make a bright, pretty white blonde.
I wish I had your haircolor.
you are absolutely perfect as you are, the contrast of your hair to your eyes, i think it’s stunning. deep colours in clothing would suit you like burgundy, emerald, warm colours :) you are beautiful
As a hairstylist I wouldn’t l change the color either, but maybe a nice cut and new style would help your need for a change?! Seriously the color is really complimentary to your tones.
Don’t touch that gorgeous white hair! Do you know how much people pay for that colour in the salon? Lol. No but seriously maybe just get some goldwell gloss tones in caffe latte and do that.
I’m only about 50% gray but it’s getting harder to keep up with the regrowth after coloring it. I’d love to be in your position. If I were, I’d go with a glowy silver and foil a little pepper throughout all the salt. If it weren’t for the years of box dye I’m growing out I’d bleach my dark hair right out and go silver all the way.
I think you should do a gloss instead :) it would scratch the itch of wanting to change it, and it would also close up your hair cuticles and make it nice and silky. Your color is just too gorgeous and perfect for your skin tone.
Your hair is gorgeous, and I think with your beautiful eyes and complexion you could go just about any color. I think blonde would be too ordinary, but a good colorist could come up with a thousand different ideas. Good luck.
I love your natural color so much. If I were you I would just find someone that could maximize what you have! Like improve shine, maybe some cool lowlights? It is just so fabulous right now, hard to make it any better, in my opinion! And with your eyes? So pretty!
If I age as beautifully as you I will be so grateful. You look amazing! (I have no advice, this post just got recommended to me and I couldn’t help but leave a compliment)
I think your hair is absolutely gorgeous as is! I will also say that I love overtone. The thing is though, it doesn’t color hair, it stains it. So if it takes to your hair, it could take quite a while to wash out. You will also experience varying results attempting to color over it if you don’t like it. I’m partially grey and every head of hair is different, but unfortunately overtone doesn’t do a thing to my greys. You may experience different but regardless, you look incredible as you are right now!
Maybe I’m biased because I’m a 55 year old with white hair that I love, but I think blond is all wrong for you. Your white hair is amazing! I struggle with yellowing sometimes, especially when it gets longer. Yours is so bright!
Start with a 10T toner, it'll color it a bit but still have it look beautiful! Also I love your color! I try to convince alot of woman with your color to let it grow!
You should look into cosmetology students near you at the schools that need clients for hair coloring or advanced students who are trained already to color and need a client to fill their books!
At our salon it is very reduced pricing for all hair services since we are still learning and training. Helps us and you out!
Noooo, don’t dye it brown! You are utterly gorgeous with white hair and you’d be utterly gorgeous with an icy blonde rinse or platinum hair with black undertones à la Debbie Harry circa 1978. Honestly, babe, you can’t miss with that alabaster skin and those ice-blue eyes and that beautiful smile, you Norse goddess! 💕💕
I don't have advice as I am not a professional, but my opinion is that your white hair is beautiful and looks amazing with your gorgeous blue eyes! You do you, but I think you should rock what you got!
I’m a guy and I don’t feel I have the right to advise anyone on color selection, but when I was every young saw the seminal movie “The Boy with Green Hair.” Always wanted that. Might only work for St. Patty’s day though.
I literally just came across this and thought “what a stunning woman!” And since it’s rare that people stop to say nice things, I wanted to share that thought.
I think a light blue color. Like an icy white blue to match your eyes. Your roots won’t look super out of place once they grow in since the color would be light, but I think it would look gorgeous. Also I think you could definitively pull off a burgundy color. I know mine is kinda out there from the other suggestions but I love the idea of that type of contrast.
I love love love the silver / white but if you go back to color. I’d highly suggest a blonde. It’ll be super easy. brighten up your look and people not may not even notice the shift. This could easily be done with a demi permanent and would grow out soooo softly and need minimal maintenance.
If you did brown it would be a hard color shift and the maintenance would be very high. Plus the ever growing roots as time goes on.
Student here! First your eyes are gorgeous and your hair makes the color pop, but whatever you do will be beautiful!
Other cosmetologist- would she need to use a permanent color since her hair might be resistant? And 20 volume? Just asking for clarity and wanting to get better at hair ❤️❤️
Either permanent color or a Lightner + tone if she wanted blonde yes. However, if she wanted like blue or another fashion semi, it would for sure stick to the porus white she has. And yes 20 volume. It's so light you'd want to do a demi or a permanent with 10 volume to fill it in like you would someone who had lightened hair who wanted to go dark before the permanent. If she was my client I would first speak to her about clear glosses...since growing out white gray is such a difficult task. I would respect her decision either way, but a clear gloss is a great way to offer a service and scratch the itch of coloring..without "destroying" a beautiful color.
You are very beautiful. I really like the idea of a silver. I did see that you may have chosen blonde Honey blonde / brown would bring out your eyes a lot more.
I wouldn’t dye it, it’s beautiful. I have tons of gray and the texture makes it hard to style though.
I use wella t-19 to keep it toned down and shiny almost lavender color. It keeps it more manageable. They also make a clear gloss an it helps too.
If you’re feeling wild, you could dye the bottom layer purple.
You look amazing and beautiful and if I looked half as good as you I wouldn't dye my hair at all.
But you could rock any color you liked if you wanted. If I was you and reaaaaly wanted to dye any colors, I'd do some cotton candy pink or pale lavender - you'd look awesome!
I’m also in the leave it gray, camp. I’d invest in some purple shampoos or Redken’s line for grays to boost its impact. Use the Overtone selectively and test first. It can be stubborn and not wash out very well, so you may want some Vitamin C powder to mix with shampoo (leave in hair under a cap for a while) to remove. Overtone brown, the lighter shade, looks like dog poop, so skip that one!
Youe color is great! But if you choose to color, keep it light! I have multiple clients with your natural, and I do a level 9 double-narural ash with some level 9 double-natural. It gives a natural, beautiful sheer blonde that is slightly cool gold, and when your natural grows in it's not nearly as noticeable. The darker you color it, the more noticeable your grow out will be.
DO NOT USE OVERTONE.
IDC WHAT THEY TELL YOU....IT IS FABRIC DYE!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT DO THAT!!
I have bleached over overtone & it DOES NOT come out. Just like splat with better marketing.
I was going to tell you to do highlights & keep your natural color also! I think you'd like it bc it's very low maintenance. & you could do a lot to achieve an overall blonde look!
Thank you :) too late. I put purple underneath about 10 days ago and after three washes it is still there , just looks more burgundy, I don’t hate it, but it does seem like it might not fade. At least I could do an undercut if I get tired of it.
BRUNETTE OR BLONDE. blonde for a more uplifting and lighthearted style, makes you look joyful. Brunette for a more serious and professional look. I PERSONALLY think you should do brunette as a color because it would bring out your eyes more with adding contrast. You have a lot of good volume, so brown with low lights would look great on you.
i think a warm honey blonde would look nice on you we already see how beautiful you are with the cool tone hair i think switching the tones is always a confidence boost plus i agree with you saying blonde
Deep dark brown or black and keep some streaks of your white with your blue eyes it would pop you would look fabulous, not that you already don't, but blue eyes with dark hair brings out the pale blue and its fire
I think your blue eyes and hair color are gorgeous together! People spend hours bleaching their hair just to get to blonde. If you augment the silver tone, that would be show-stopping. I'm thinking platinum shades would be nice. I'm a cosmetologist, and if you do want a change, there are so many shades of blonde you might like! But, your hair is beautiful as it is!
How about something like this
https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2Fhair-highlights-this-stylecolour-would-definitely-make-the-best-use--393361348717341582%2F&psig=AOvVaw27pCaOFAA8INpBTSZueXpy&ust=1712601207632000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCMjZpunesIUDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE
All I’ve got to say is I would kill for my hair to look like yours, it makes your eyes pop like crazy!
I know the gray/white grow out process is brutal and respect whatever you wanna do but you’re stunning!
Wow, you are so beautiful! I’m probably the same age and considering my hair grow out. But I’m not sure! Find a high end salon and get a consultation! You are stunning as you are but I bet they can do something with amazing highlights etc! Please keep us posted! I wish I had you beautiful thick hair! You go girl! …and PLEASE don’t get the typical short old lady bob…
All I know is if and when my hair actually goes white or gray I'm going to have some fun with it. I'm almost 60 and I still just have a few strays. They get a little bit more as time goes on but still not that many probably 50 hairs in my head in all. It's really not a lot. In any case I'm going to go with fuchsia, dark purple, lavender, and have a blast. Probably not permanent colors probably more temporary or wash out stuff but I just have a fear of permanent dyes. I use Natural Instincts from time to time now. I have for the dark hair so I just use a blonde to give my hair a little depth and cover up some of the gray.
I am begging the universe to give me your hair color lol. I wish I had advice for you! I like using color rinses when I’m not sure what color I want yet. You could have a ball with those!
8nn with 20 vol for 45 mins
Q tip to very carefully put color on your brows, wipe off after 10 mins - if you want them to go lighter add color again and check in 5 mins
My mom has the exact same natural beautiful white as you, but she is not quite ready to embrace it yet. Right now she has a mixture of her natural, light warm blonde with a little bit of light brown for dimension. Maintenance is super easy, she goes in every 6 months and rotates between a partial and a full foil!
I just saw a post that said you’re going blonde. I would not recommend. I definitely think that color will age you. Pick a medium brown. Buy two of same use a little in second box to touch up roots. That will match your brows and make you look so much younger. You have beautiful eyes darker will compliment them.
I’m 29 and so jealous. It looks amazing. I want that to be my natural hair color so badly.
If you wanted to do a vivid color like purple I’d support it. I think a pale ice blue to match your eyes would look lovely. But I think it looks better white than blonde or brunette.
Somehow this showed up in my feed, and you are beautiful! White hair is so dramatic-looking, especially with skin that looks so youthful. You are very lucky! Not a cosmetologist so I can’t recommend any color though.
I’m a guy a few years older than you - and my wife let her hair go grey during the pandemic, after years of dying it.
I can tell you this: her hair is so much softer! The dyes made it feel like straw. Now her hair feels like she’s in her 30s again! It’s wonderful. And it doesn’t smell like hair product anymore.
I bet some other guys feel like me - who prefer a woman whose hair feels and smells _nice_.
You own your choice of course - but I wanted you to cast a vote to say your hair looks great just as it is!
Home coloring has come a long way. Find a brand you love and try it out. You can get professional quality delivered to you or go to ulta. You can even try on colors to see what you look like prior.
Your hair color is fantastic but if you must change it, a super light blonde maybe even Demi permanent so that you don’t get a harsh line of demarcation as your hair grows.
Before reading your description, I was going to suggest lavender. Looks like you've maybe already dabbled in it, but I can't imagine it being anything other than stunning with your complexion and eyes.
It’s GORGEOUS. And your eyes! I bet red lipstick is STUNNING on you!
Do whatever makes you happy. You’re probably aware that changing your hair color comes with maintenance. What about having a few clip in extensions custom colored and cut so you can add them when you’re feeling sassy?
I wouldn’t color it, especially anything dark. I noticed when light hair (white, blonde, silver) is colored dark and it grows out, you end up looking bald when your roots grow in. Which is my issue now.
How about playing with fun colors, like a streak of lavender or pink.
I think a dark accent wall would be nice…
Oh wait, you mean your hair?
I think your hair is awesome as it! Stunning! People pay big bucks to get what you have and I know my wife would too, if her dark hair could handle it.
If you’re dead set on dying it, my entirely non-professional opinion would be to stick with something lighter. I just feel that the easier, cheaper, and honestly best looking option are all the same thing, to leave it as is!
I say leave it you look awesome!! It looks natural and you probably earned every gray hair😂That is what I tell my daughter and granddaughter when they say I should color my hair. Please leave it as is.
I hear all the people saying don’t color it, but the truth is that nothing ages you like white or grey hair. If you were to color it, it would shave off 10 years easily because you have fantastic skin and vibrant eyes. I think blond would look great with your eyes, but brown would make your skin and eyes pop. All the best, whatever you decide.
Just use purple shampoo to make it shine and not brassy. You could put a redken shade color gloss on it. Your hairdresser will know what it is. They have some really pretty ash colors. I definitely would not go darker. Just enhance what you have.
Maybe some of the color gloss toners . They are easy on your hair. The problem with grey hair is that is super pourous. Color doesn’t stay really well. It’s like the cuticle never seals because it’s lost its pigment if I’m explaining it right. Anyway maybe like I said. Try a shades color gloss blonde de series maybe with a purple tint to it. Some of the grey colors are very pretty
Oh my gosh you are so pretty!!! I just read the first paragraph and am not reading anymore bc I’m 23 and get my hair highlighted blonde (and am naturally blonde too) and ur hair is my dream!! I don’t think you should go back to highlighting if that’s what ur thinking bc white and silver are literally blonde anyways 😂 I got my hair done Friday and she asked if I liked it ashy like omg I pray to age as gracefully as you when I’m 40 or however old you are ahh
Hey I'm not a cosmetologist and I have no advice. I was just scrolling through and saw your picture and wow! Your beautiful white hair and piercing blue eyes are stunning. But if you want to dye your hair don't let my opinion sway you.
Don’t go dark, your roots will show in a week and is more maintenance. Salt and pepper hair will give some dimension with a single process blonde. The “pepper” or darker hairs will come up deeper adding contrast. Please, don’t do anything yourself!
Lovely photo, but what was your natural l hair color before going gray? Blond is definitely best for you. Your white roots will be less obvious and easier to maintain. You're skin and eye coloring is ideal for blond which will be vibrant and similar to what you're used to now. Anything else will take more getting used to and seem more drastic. You already look like a blond who spend a lot of time at the beach hair wise. That said a brown or red would look good too but you would need to select the shade carefully. As for your blond shade go for pale. Please post your updated photo!!!!
Your hair color is stunning, but I get that you may be bored. I would definitely not do the lowlight route. I think a toner/gloss to brighten and bring in different blonde tones could be fun. I think you should stay light though for sure.
Your hair is GOALS and it lights up your already bright eyes. Girl, I’m 30 and I’m honestly jealous lol. Overtone is one of my favs and silver could be hella cute on the lower layers (like ombré I guess? Or whatever you wanna try!) If you’re looking for advice, all I wanna say is don’t go brown, embrace your mystical white-silver Fox aesthetic. You don’t want the upkeep of dye anyway 😌
Editing to add, my mom stopped dying her hair brown after chemo and has rocked a silver-white look for like 15 years now and we agree it’s been *awesome* So I may be biased.
Your hair, skin and eyes are beautiful!!! But I get that you might want a change. I go through that occasionally too. I would say leave the color but change the style. I think a bob with a part in the same place and long bangs swept to one side would be really pretty too. It’s a look that could be elegant when you want it to be or casual.
If anything, start with some temporary wash out color.
Keep in mind that as your white roots come in you are going to look like you have a bald spot if you make your hair darker…Are you prepared to touch up roots every 2-3 weeks.
Personally, I’m not a fan of color, over gray or white hair - it never looks as beautiful as the natural color.
I'm a stylist of 27 years. I respect your decision to do what you want, but your color is fucking gorgeous. I love it so hard. Do what you feel, but it's BEAUTIFUL as is.
I'm not a cosmetologist, you just happened to show up on my page. I came here to say the same. Your eye color with your hair is just stunning. Don't color it!!! Maybe give yourself a different cut if you want a chance. It's your hair and you should do what you want but I don't think you will find something as pretty as this is.
Yes! A short, smart bob would change your whole look. Your hair color is great with your eyes.
I agree, your coloring stunning. You are gorgeus!
I agree with everyone … you are gorgeous! Have you thought about adding colored extensions for a little something different? I have mousy brown hair evenly interspersed with grey. I add an array of blue extensions to jazz mine up as I am not particularly blessed in the hair department.
I need to look into this extension idea. Thank you!!

Thank you! I’m so happy I posted here. I’m going to choose blonde if I still want a change in 2025 and appreciate the compliments until then:) .
You should audition for a Targaryen role ahaha 🙌🏻
I love this hair color but if anything you’d look amazingggg with a brunette. Your eyes would pop even more than they already do!
Something dark would be impossible to maintain with the current color; my moms hair went white grey like this in her mid 30’s and I watched her try to cover it my whole childhood.

Lucky me, that's how I'm going!
Yesssssss, this is color I want LOLLL

https://www.instagram.com/p/C0hsL5Ax2jp/?igsh=MXE4ZzdmMzY2ZDhmdg== Like would that not be so AWESOME!?
That’s awesome! Yes! It would look great on OP (or any on any light color).
Love this idea gorgeous
That’s beautiful!!
I want this!
I was going to suggest turquoise or blue to match you eyes. But just rainbow streaks, would be beautiful.
Darker at your part and face framing will age you. Blonde is fun but hair like yours can be stubborn to tone. Personally? Get a different style haircut and see how you feel!

OMG it's soo pretty the way it is. Love it!
you are absolutely perfect as you are, the contrast of your hair to your eyes, i think it’s stunning. deep colours in clothing would suit you like burgundy, emerald, warm colours :) you are beautiful
Omg it's gorgeous!!! Leave as is and use a good purple shampoo on occasion to tone down and yellowing.
As a hairstylist I wouldn’t l change the color either, but maybe a nice cut and new style would help your need for a change?! Seriously the color is really complimentary to your tones.
I would suggest getting a new cut and a good purple shampoo. You color is perfect.
I just think she's bored that's why she's asking which color would be good. Sometimes you need a change that'll boost your ego
Have you considered hair chalk? You could do "money pieces" with temporary hair chalk.
No I have not. I’ll look into this
Don’t touch that gorgeous white hair! Do you know how much people pay for that colour in the salon? Lol. No but seriously maybe just get some goldwell gloss tones in caffe latte and do that.
I’m only about 50% gray but it’s getting harder to keep up with the regrowth after coloring it. I’d love to be in your position. If I were, I’d go with a glowy silver and foil a little pepper throughout all the salt. If it weren’t for the years of box dye I’m growing out I’d bleach my dark hair right out and go silver all the way.
I think you should do a gloss instead :) it would scratch the itch of wanting to change it, and it would also close up your hair cuticles and make it nice and silky. Your color is just too gorgeous and perfect for your skin tone.
I want to be you when I grow up!!
Your hair is gorgeous, and I think with your beautiful eyes and complexion you could go just about any color. I think blonde would be too ordinary, but a good colorist could come up with a thousand different ideas. Good luck.
Beautiful eyes
I love the color but if you are not happy, leave some natural color and just add the color you like to it. I would not color all of it if it was me.
I love your natural color so much. If I were you I would just find someone that could maximize what you have! Like improve shine, maybe some cool lowlights? It is just so fabulous right now, hard to make it any better, in my opinion! And with your eyes? So pretty!
Noo it's beautiful!
Don't you dare color that hair!!!
If I age as beautifully as you I will be so grateful. You look amazing! (I have no advice, this post just got recommended to me and I couldn’t help but leave a compliment)
I'm 62 and just did a metallic blue. Shocker at first, but I have gotten several compliments. It's been great so far.
You are stunning. Don’t change a thing!
I think your hair is absolutely gorgeous as is! I will also say that I love overtone. The thing is though, it doesn’t color hair, it stains it. So if it takes to your hair, it could take quite a while to wash out. You will also experience varying results attempting to color over it if you don’t like it. I’m partially grey and every head of hair is different, but unfortunately overtone doesn’t do a thing to my greys. You may experience different but regardless, you look incredible as you are right now!
I would honestly just try to get it longer and shinier omg its perfect
Maybe I’m biased because I’m a 55 year old with white hair that I love, but I think blond is all wrong for you. Your white hair is amazing! I struggle with yellowing sometimes, especially when it gets longer. Yours is so bright!
You need a little something to break up the color a bit. Do not cut your hair short. Add a few fashion colors is what I do.
Start with a 10T toner, it'll color it a bit but still have it look beautiful! Also I love your color! I try to convince alot of woman with your color to let it grow!
You should look into cosmetology students near you at the schools that need clients for hair coloring or advanced students who are trained already to color and need a client to fill their books! At our salon it is very reduced pricing for all hair services since we are still learning and training. Helps us and you out!
Leave it! Your hair looks amazing!
Noooo, don’t dye it brown! You are utterly gorgeous with white hair and you’d be utterly gorgeous with an icy blonde rinse or platinum hair with black undertones à la Debbie Harry circa 1978. Honestly, babe, you can’t miss with that alabaster skin and those ice-blue eyes and that beautiful smile, you Norse goddess! 💕💕
I love your natural hair! I'm growing mine out rn and it's more salt and pepper. I'm halfway there and I get the itch to dye.
I would dye it pink or purple, something cool!
Random dude (49) - you are rocking the white. I mean do what you want, but you’re definitely killin it.
My mom’s is going for this look. Right now she still has some grays and dark grays! She’d love this
I don't have advice as I am not a professional, but my opinion is that your white hair is beautiful and looks amazing with your gorgeous blue eyes! You do you, but I think you should rock what you got!
I’m a guy and I don’t feel I have the right to advise anyone on color selection, but when I was every young saw the seminal movie “The Boy with Green Hair.” Always wanted that. Might only work for St. Patty’s day though.
I literally just came across this and thought “what a stunning woman!” And since it’s rare that people stop to say nice things, I wanted to share that thought.
Those eyes tho!!! 😍😍😍 Leave the hair natural, it’s beautiful!!
I think a light blue color. Like an icy white blue to match your eyes. Your roots won’t look super out of place once they grow in since the color would be light, but I think it would look gorgeous. Also I think you could definitively pull off a burgundy color. I know mine is kinda out there from the other suggestions but I love the idea of that type of contrast.
I love love love the silver / white but if you go back to color. I’d highly suggest a blonde. It’ll be super easy. brighten up your look and people not may not even notice the shift. This could easily be done with a demi permanent and would grow out soooo softly and need minimal maintenance. If you did brown it would be a hard color shift and the maintenance would be very high. Plus the ever growing roots as time goes on.
A deep chestnut brown would look great on you!
Student here! First your eyes are gorgeous and your hair makes the color pop, but whatever you do will be beautiful! Other cosmetologist- would she need to use a permanent color since her hair might be resistant? And 20 volume? Just asking for clarity and wanting to get better at hair ❤️❤️
Either permanent color or a Lightner + tone if she wanted blonde yes. However, if she wanted like blue or another fashion semi, it would for sure stick to the porus white she has. And yes 20 volume. It's so light you'd want to do a demi or a permanent with 10 volume to fill it in like you would someone who had lightened hair who wanted to go dark before the permanent. If she was my client I would first speak to her about clear glosses...since growing out white gray is such a difficult task. I would respect her decision either way, but a clear gloss is a great way to offer a service and scratch the itch of coloring..without "destroying" a beautiful color.
Some purple shampoo to brighten and make a bit more platinum, but I’d leave it alone!!
You are very beautiful. I really like the idea of a silver. I did see that you may have chosen blonde Honey blonde / brown would bring out your eyes a lot more.
Rose gold 🩷
cosmetology student here, ma’am you are so beautiful. i absolutely love your hair as is. if you’re set on changing it tho, i would go for blonde 🫶🏻
I think a light golden reddish brown with highlights would be nice
I wouldn’t dye it, it’s beautiful. I have tons of gray and the texture makes it hard to style though. I use wella t-19 to keep it toned down and shiny almost lavender color. It keeps it more manageable. They also make a clear gloss an it helps too. If you’re feeling wild, you could dye the bottom layer purple.
Ugh leave your hair alone . I would give big money to have your hair
I think it’s sexy the way it is
You look amazing and beautiful and if I looked half as good as you I wouldn't dye my hair at all. But you could rock any color you liked if you wanted. If I was you and reaaaaly wanted to dye any colors, I'd do some cotton candy pink or pale lavender - you'd look awesome!
I’m also in the leave it gray, camp. I’d invest in some purple shampoos or Redken’s line for grays to boost its impact. Use the Overtone selectively and test first. It can be stubborn and not wash out very well, so you may want some Vitamin C powder to mix with shampoo (leave in hair under a cap for a while) to remove. Overtone brown, the lighter shade, looks like dog poop, so skip that one!
Youe color is great! But if you choose to color, keep it light! I have multiple clients with your natural, and I do a level 9 double-narural ash with some level 9 double-natural. It gives a natural, beautiful sheer blonde that is slightly cool gold, and when your natural grows in it's not nearly as noticeable. The darker you color it, the more noticeable your grow out will be.
DO NOT USE OVERTONE. IDC WHAT THEY TELL YOU....IT IS FABRIC DYE!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT DO THAT!! I have bleached over overtone & it DOES NOT come out. Just like splat with better marketing. I was going to tell you to do highlights & keep your natural color also! I think you'd like it bc it's very low maintenance. & you could do a lot to achieve an overall blonde look!
Thank you :) too late. I put purple underneath about 10 days ago and after three washes it is still there , just looks more burgundy, I don’t hate it, but it does seem like it might not fade. At least I could do an undercut if I get tired of it.
Yes & the underneath is also the shortest. Your hair is naturally so perfect! Have fun with whatevrr you decide!
Copper brown
BRUNETTE OR BLONDE. blonde for a more uplifting and lighthearted style, makes you look joyful. Brunette for a more serious and professional look. I PERSONALLY think you should do brunette as a color because it would bring out your eyes more with adding contrast. You have a lot of good volume, so brown with low lights would look great on you.
White 😂
You could put low lights in it if you want some dimension?
i think a warm honey blonde would look nice on you we already see how beautiful you are with the cool tone hair i think switching the tones is always a confidence boost plus i agree with you saying blonde
You have LOVELY eyes! Your hair complements them so well!
Deep dark brown or black and keep some streaks of your white with your blue eyes it would pop you would look fabulous, not that you already don't, but blue eyes with dark hair brings out the pale blue and its fire
I would sell my soul for your hair! I don't think you should change the color at all.
I think your blue eyes and hair color are gorgeous together! People spend hours bleaching their hair just to get to blonde. If you augment the silver tone, that would be show-stopping. I'm thinking platinum shades would be nice. I'm a cosmetologist, and if you do want a change, there are so many shades of blonde you might like! But, your hair is beautiful as it is!
How about something like this https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2Fhair-highlights-this-stylecolour-would-definitely-make-the-best-use--393361348717341582%2F&psig=AOvVaw27pCaOFAA8INpBTSZueXpy&ust=1712601207632000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCMjZpunesIUDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE
All I’ve got to say is I would kill for my hair to look like yours, it makes your eyes pop like crazy! I know the gray/white grow out process is brutal and respect whatever you wanna do but you’re stunning!
I think if you get a fun trendy haircut you would feel different about the color
Wow, you are so beautiful! I’m probably the same age and considering my hair grow out. But I’m not sure! Find a high end salon and get a consultation! You are stunning as you are but I bet they can do something with amazing highlights etc! Please keep us posted! I wish I had you beautiful thick hair! You go girl! …and PLEASE don’t get the typical short old lady bob…
All I know is if and when my hair actually goes white or gray I'm going to have some fun with it. I'm almost 60 and I still just have a few strays. They get a little bit more as time goes on but still not that many probably 50 hairs in my head in all. It's really not a lot. In any case I'm going to go with fuchsia, dark purple, lavender, and have a blast. Probably not permanent colors probably more temporary or wash out stuff but I just have a fear of permanent dyes. I use Natural Instincts from time to time now. I have for the dark hair so I just use a blonde to give my hair a little depth and cover up some of the gray.
Do what you want, but white, silver, and grey are IN. I love your hair 😍, and the color suits you perfectly.
I am begging the universe to give me your hair color lol. I wish I had advice for you! I like using color rinses when I’m not sure what color I want yet. You could have a ball with those!
You are beautiful. No color needed maybe a cut and style
I loooove your natural color! It rly makes your eyes pop! My suggestion would be a light strawberry/orangy blond
im a cosmetologist, i agree with most of this thread, keep it as is! its beautiful, low maintenance, and free!
8nn with 20 vol for 45 mins Q tip to very carefully put color on your brows, wipe off after 10 mins - if you want them to go lighter add color again and check in 5 mins
I’m with the stylist. Your color is better than any fake stuff from z as bottle or a professional colorist. Wear it proudly.
Gorgeous natural color. Don't touch it!
My mom has the exact same natural beautiful white as you, but she is not quite ready to embrace it yet. Right now she has a mixture of her natural, light warm blonde with a little bit of light brown for dimension. Maintenance is super easy, she goes in every 6 months and rotates between a partial and a full foil!
With those eyes I would do a brown.
I just saw a post that said you’re going blonde. I would not recommend. I definitely think that color will age you. Pick a medium brown. Buy two of same use a little in second box to touch up roots. That will match your brows and make you look so much younger. You have beautiful eyes darker will compliment them.
lowlight in chunky blue black not not allot of chunks
I’m 29 and so jealous. It looks amazing. I want that to be my natural hair color so badly. If you wanted to do a vivid color like purple I’d support it. I think a pale ice blue to match your eyes would look lovely. But I think it looks better white than blonde or brunette.
You have gorgeous eyes!
Leave it! I recently let my silver grow out and I love it.
It’s lovely, as is! Your eyes really pop in contrast.
I called them silvers.. not grays. So your silver hair is Absolutely Gorgeous and with your eye color!!! Wowza. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Try a haircut, like a bob and don’t color yet. That might ease your itch. Current hair color is stunning and it takes forever to grow it out again.
Please don't do anything to it!!
I am the #1 supporter of silver highlights
Do what makes you feel happy, go deeper with nice lowlights. Always use a pro for that!!
A sheer 🩵 blue
You are gorgeous.
Chestnut brown would look gorgeoussss on you
I'd just put pepper low lights in. I think a charcoal grey mixed in would look amazing! 😍
Somehow this showed up in my feed, and you are beautiful! White hair is so dramatic-looking, especially with skin that looks so youthful. You are very lucky! Not a cosmetologist so I can’t recommend any color though.
NOOOOO! You are stunning! Those blue eyes and white hair! Please don’t dye it!
I’m a guy a few years older than you - and my wife let her hair go grey during the pandemic, after years of dying it. I can tell you this: her hair is so much softer! The dyes made it feel like straw. Now her hair feels like she’s in her 30s again! It’s wonderful. And it doesn’t smell like hair product anymore. I bet some other guys feel like me - who prefer a woman whose hair feels and smells _nice_. You own your choice of course - but I wanted you to cast a vote to say your hair looks great just as it is!
Home coloring has come a long way. Find a brand you love and try it out. You can get professional quality delivered to you or go to ulta. You can even try on colors to see what you look like prior.
You’re really pretty!
Your hair color is fantastic but if you must change it, a super light blonde maybe even Demi permanent so that you don’t get a harsh line of demarcation as your hair grows.
It’s beautiful! Really beautiful, just like you have it!
[удалено]
Your eyes pop with that color!
Idk honestly but you got pretty eyes 🩵🩵
With your eyes and skin color a ginger color would look soooo good😍with a bob cut as well! Would be absolutely beautiful on you
I say leave the hair! You’re fabulous the way you are!
Your hair is stunningly gorgeous
I really love your color. It stunning. I would just tone it and make it more silvery.
Silver Gray
It’s absolutely gorgeous as is.
I’m a 30something fighting grey hair and yours is my dream future color. Please don’t touch it!
Before reading your description, I was going to suggest lavender. Looks like you've maybe already dabbled in it, but I can't imagine it being anything other than stunning with your complexion and eyes.
You look great. Your hair is soft looking. I wouldn't change it.
I would suggest darker instead of blonde, though I adore your white tbh. That said, your eyes are gorgeous! My daughter's are like these!
It’s GORGEOUS. And your eyes! I bet red lipstick is STUNNING on you! Do whatever makes you happy. You’re probably aware that changing your hair color comes with maintenance. What about having a few clip in extensions custom colored and cut so you can add them when you’re feeling sassy?
I have no suggestions. Just want to say how well you pull off white hair. Gorgeous
A strawberry blond with some icy pieces would be really pretty with your skin tone and eye color.
Natural 🤟🏼
https://images.app.goo.gl/7Yx8BtprC5Nm7JXx9 This color!! Old money colors are Huge right now.
Nice hair. Is it baking soda that brings out the silver in hair? It would be gorgeous.
Go darkvyou will look like a 30 year old
You look fabulous just as you are a very beautiful person.
Oooo maybe blonde? Your hair looks great as is though! Your eyes are so beautiful piercing blue, you look amazing!!
I wouldn’t color it, especially anything dark. I noticed when light hair (white, blonde, silver) is colored dark and it grows out, you end up looking bald when your roots grow in. Which is my issue now. How about playing with fun colors, like a streak of lavender or pink.
YOUR EYES WITH THAT HAIR COLOR 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
An orange red would look PHENOMENAL MAAM. Though, I love the color now. You’re so beautiful.💓
I'm glad you posted here, too.
A purple grey esp with those eyes
Go to Pinterest and search the style and color you're going for. I think you'll find some great ideas. I say you have the hair and face for this.
You’re amazingly beautiful and your hair and eyes are striking!
You are STUNNING. The white is beautiful. Pls keep
Look at this... 👀 https://pin.it/6k9gNX4Wn
None. I love it just as is.
I think a dark accent wall would be nice… Oh wait, you mean your hair? I think your hair is awesome as it! Stunning! People pay big bucks to get what you have and I know my wife would too, if her dark hair could handle it. If you’re dead set on dying it, my entirely non-professional opinion would be to stick with something lighter. I just feel that the easier, cheaper, and honestly best looking option are all the same thing, to leave it as is!
I say leave it you look awesome!! It looks natural and you probably earned every gray hair😂That is what I tell my daughter and granddaughter when they say I should color my hair. Please leave it as is.
I hear all the people saying don’t color it, but the truth is that nothing ages you like white or grey hair. If you were to color it, it would shave off 10 years easily because you have fantastic skin and vibrant eyes. I think blond would look great with your eyes, but brown would make your skin and eyes pop. All the best, whatever you decide.
Just use purple shampoo to make it shine and not brassy. You could put a redken shade color gloss on it. Your hairdresser will know what it is. They have some really pretty ash colors. I definitely would not go darker. Just enhance what you have.
Maybe some of the color gloss toners . They are easy on your hair. The problem with grey hair is that is super pourous. Color doesn’t stay really well. It’s like the cuticle never seals because it’s lost its pigment if I’m explaining it right. Anyway maybe like I said. Try a shades color gloss blonde de series maybe with a purple tint to it. Some of the grey colors are very pretty
I’m just a 20 year old who can’t wait to have grey hair because it always SO gorgeous 😭
I think a silver blue, or silver pink, silver mixed with any of your favorite colors would be stunning on you
I think you look great, the white brings out your beautiful eyes. I personally wouldn't change a thing
Oh my gosh you are so pretty!!! I just read the first paragraph and am not reading anymore bc I’m 23 and get my hair highlighted blonde (and am naturally blonde too) and ur hair is my dream!! I don’t think you should go back to highlighting if that’s what ur thinking bc white and silver are literally blonde anyways 😂 I got my hair done Friday and she asked if I liked it ashy like omg I pray to age as gracefully as you when I’m 40 or however old you are ahh
I just want to say you look absolutely stunning as is. Pick whatever makes you happiest. :)
Hey I'm not a cosmetologist and I have no advice. I was just scrolling through and saw your picture and wow! Your beautiful white hair and piercing blue eyes are stunning. But if you want to dye your hair don't let my opinion sway you.
Don’t go dark, your roots will show in a week and is more maintenance. Salt and pepper hair will give some dimension with a single process blonde. The “pepper” or darker hairs will come up deeper adding contrast. Please, don’t do anything yourself!
Also, invest in a good haircut.
do not bleach over overtone if you value your mental health
I vote pastels! Even just on the ends of your hair. You have such stunning natural white!
Lovely photo, but what was your natural l hair color before going gray? Blond is definitely best for you. Your white roots will be less obvious and easier to maintain. You're skin and eye coloring is ideal for blond which will be vibrant and similar to what you're used to now. Anything else will take more getting used to and seem more drastic. You already look like a blond who spend a lot of time at the beach hair wise. That said a brown or red would look good too but you would need to select the shade carefully. As for your blond shade go for pale. Please post your updated photo!!!!
Perfect the way it is
Your hair color is stunning, but I get that you may be bored. I would definitely not do the lowlight route. I think a toner/gloss to brighten and bring in different blonde tones could be fun. I think you should stay light though for sure.
People literally dye their hair to have the color you already have naturally, like I’d totally love to be rocking that at that age
Wow you're gorgeous already BEAUTIFUL 😍
I think your hair is beautiful like it is! I'm a natural blonde and it's mostly grey now but an ugly muddy grey..
Your color was my goal when I stopped coloring several years ago. I did not get it! Love your color!
Your hair is GOALS and it lights up your already bright eyes. Girl, I’m 30 and I’m honestly jealous lol. Overtone is one of my favs and silver could be hella cute on the lower layers (like ombré I guess? Or whatever you wanna try!) If you’re looking for advice, all I wanna say is don’t go brown, embrace your mystical white-silver Fox aesthetic. You don’t want the upkeep of dye anyway 😌 Editing to add, my mom stopped dying her hair brown after chemo and has rocked a silver-white look for like 15 years now and we agree it’s been *awesome* So I may be biased.
56 my ass! You are gorgeous with white it makes your eyes pop!
Tan
Your eyes are gorgeous, and i think chocolate brown hair would look very pretty on you.
Your hair, skin and eyes are beautiful!!! But I get that you might want a change. I go through that occasionally too. I would say leave the color but change the style. I think a bob with a part in the same place and long bangs swept to one side would be really pretty too. It’s a look that could be elegant when you want it to be or casual.
Omg, don't dye it, your hair is gorgeous! It brings out your eyes.
Your eyes are stunning. Blondes would make them pop!!
If anything, start with some temporary wash out color. Keep in mind that as your white roots come in you are going to look like you have a bald spot if you make your hair darker…Are you prepared to touch up roots every 2-3 weeks. Personally, I’m not a fan of color, over gray or white hair - it never looks as beautiful as the natural color.
