First: Congratulations on making the bold decision to ditch the dye and let your silvers grow free!
Embracing your natural hair is a journey, and we understand that this road can be long and challenging.
After years of being conditioned to hide our roots, it can feel counterintuitive and vulnerable to let them grow out. But fear not - while this may be the super-awkward stage, you can find beauty and pride in your evolving hair.
Here are 3 ways to make this transition easier and truly love your grow-out.
1. Reframe How You See Your Roots
Instead of seeing your roots as something to hide, start viewing them as what they are: a testament to your life’s journey.
Look at how healthy and beautiful your real hair is. Those whites? You’ve earned every one of those silver strands through living and growing.
Feel proud to show the world that you are a grown-up, embracing the wisdom and experience that come with it.
While it may feel awkward to you, know that you radiate confidence - you are committing to doing a hard and somewhat rebellious thing. Your roots are a symbol of your strength and how much you value authenticity.
2. Focus on the Care of Your New Hair
Shift your attention from the old dyed ends to nurturing your new growth.
Great hair comes from a great root system and a healthy scalp. Your scalp has taken years of sometimes monthly chemical abuse and can use some love to help you through this transition.
This is the perfect time to indulge in some scalp care. Regular scalp massages and the use of serums can invigorate your scalp and promote the healthiest, fullest, softest, strongest silvering hair growth.
Try our Root Rouser Activating Leave-In Scalp Massage Serum—it’s designed to stimulate and nourish the hair follicles, creating the strongest foundation for your evolving hair. Actually made for silvering hair, it will not discolor or stain your precious new growth. 🤍
3. Connect with the Silvering Communities
Know that you are not alone on this journey.
Connect with others who are embracing their silvering hair. Share your own experiences, tips, and support. Join online Facebook communities, follow inspiring Instagram or YouTube accounts, and even contribute your own story... there might be an influencer in you!
Celebrating your progress and seeing others on the same path can be incredibly motivating and uplifting.

Loving your grow-out is about more than just hair. It’s about embracing your true self and celebrating the journey that brought you here.
We’ve earned every one of these silver strands, it’s time to show them off!
