Silver is the new black, blonde and brown… From the author of Curly Girl, Silver Hair,comes a guide to letting your hair go silver. Massey, a hairstylist for three decades, includes testimonials and pictures from herself and from women of various ages who decided to bite the bullet and let their hair go natural. Her message to those who want do it is to “embrace your natural hair and do it for you and no one else”. One myth is that silver hair will age you or look unprofessional. She says that as long as you take care of your hair and yourself you will look great. In fact, she has many women who go silver who never go back to dying their hair again. She also suggests some hair products and home remedies to make that transition easier from dyed to silver and to keep your hair in good condition.

As a convert myself at 54 years old, I agree completely with the advice she provides in this great handbook. I have received so many compliments on my silver hair and wish I had started sooner. It is true that the texture of your hair will change so you will need to change the hair products you use. I also found that I had to change my makeup and clothing colors as well because my hair color was so much lighter. Ms. Massey discusses this in the book also. My advice to you is to take a chance. Every person is different and every hair color is different, but I promise you will welcome not having to pay to dye your hair again and that you will love the results!

Thank you to Ms. Massey, Workman Publishing Company, and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

I have been growing out my gray hair for a couple of years. I was hoping to find out some new techniques to help it looking fresh and trendy. I was disappointed, nothing new in this book that I haven't already read on -line.

Unique topic... women actually letting hair go gray naturally (or with a little help from their hairdresser)! Very good presentation and thoroughly researched. Really appreciated the quotes from women of various ages telling their stories. The recipes at the end look daunting to me but those who like "natural" haircare might find them helpful.

This is a great book for anyone thinking about going gray. It gives lots of great advice on making the decision to go gray, how to deal with transitioning to gray, what kind of products to use on your hair, and clothes and make up tips to help you look your best. There are lots of wonderful pictures that shows the process that several women went through and some of women just rocking their silver hair with style. Lots of great inspirational stories were scattered throughout the book as well. This is a really helpful book.

Going silver wasn't a hard decision for me because I wear my hair short and I was dissatisfied with my hair color. But it isn't that way for most women.

This wonderful book is full of great, practical advice on going silver, inspiring stories, and plenty of encouragement.

As silver hair becomes more popular, a friendly encouraging book is badly needed.
