In this episode I'm chatting with Jineen Marie Silvery who is the co-founder of the Silvering Sage App. She also has a facebook group, called Colour Me Silvery, designed to help women with their grey hair transition.
Jineen's personal grey hair journey involved saving her long hair in support of her niece who had cancer. It's a transition that takes away all the colour, but as Jinne found, you'll not necessarily love the hairstyles you go through as you grow back to your original length.
Helen: Hello, and thanks for joining me, Helen Johnson, for the Happier Grey podcast. I'm pro-ageing and love my grey hair, but I know it can be quite intimidating to take the plunge. So, each week, I'll be chatting to other women who've chosen to embrace the grey in the hope of inspiring and supporting you, whether you already have silver hair, in the process of going grey, or just considering ditching the dye.
Today I'm joined by Jineen Marie Silvery. She's a midlife glow up guru, a modern renaissance woman, silver hair influencer, colour guide, founder of the Colour Me Silvery community, and co-founder of the Silvering Sage app. Through colour, style, storytelling, and personal growth, she inspires women to embrace their evolving beauty, step into their next chapter with confidence, and become fully themselves.
Hello, Jineen. How are you?
Jineen: Good. How are you? Thank you so much for having me on.
Helen: I'm not bad, thank you. I've just been painting the kitchen, so
Jineen: Ah, wonderful.
Helen: I'll be ready for a rest this evening.
Jineen: Yes.
Helen: So, I am gonna start by asking you what your hair was like when you were a child?
Jineen: Okay, that's interesting. I was a very dark-headed brunette. What's funny is when I look back at pictures when I was a kid, you know, we're in the sun so much as a kid, and it almost has tints of red, which nobody in my family had red hair.
But, you know, probably the sun kind of, gave it a little bit of, you know, a little glitz of reddish tones, you know? Kind of auburn-y. But as I got older, it just got very dark, like almost black, I would say.
I was in the era, because let's see, I'm 51, I was in the era of Dorothy Hamill. I don't know if you're familiar with her, but she was a big ice skater in America, and everybody loved the Dorothy Hamill haircut. I mean, I think she still has the haircut today. It was kind of a short, almost kind of like a Bob, but maybe a little bit shorter.
And then I also went through the phase of the Annie perm, like real tight curled perm hair. And I look back and I'm like, "Why did anyone think these were good haircuts on me?"
I didn't really have it long, 'cause I'm like, "Why didn't I ever have it long?" But I'm sure it was just less maintenance, you know, for my mother. And my aunt was a hairstylist, so I was always going to her salon. So, I think I just was always doing different things. But I was pretty much keeping it shorter till I got a little bit older.
Helen: Did you dye it at all in your teens?
Jineen: I did. Back in the day there was something called, I think the product was called Touch of Sun, and it was kind of like you'd put it on your hair when you went into the sun. And unfortunately, it really turned my hair a bit orange. So that was my first attempt at dyeing it, thinking, oh, I want it to be lighter or highlighted.
And then, after that, really, it's funny, I think I actually started seeing some grey hair around 18. And when I went to college, then I dyed it. I did it auburn once, and then I did it really dark. So, then I was pretty much just dark most of the time. Always touching up the roots, you know?
Helen: So, how did you feel about those first grey hairs when you were 18?
Jineen: Well, of course I was in the world of, you know, "Oh gosh," you know, "You gotta hide that. You gotta cover it." You know, that, "Nobody wants to see that." You know what I mean?
And my father really was a big proponent of well, I shouldn't say proponent. Maybe that's the wrong word, but he was just very much like, you know, "If you go grey, you're letting yourself go." I don't know if he actually said those words, but I think he knew some women that looked that way, and he didn't think that was a good thing.
So, that was my perspective, which is so horrible when I think about it now.
Helen: So, you were dyeing it in your 20s to cover the roots then?
Jineen: Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
Helen: And how long did you keep dyeing it for?
Jineen: Up until I was 43. I've had five babies, so each baby I had, I think I got more grey hair. And I remember a hairstylist even saying that to me while I was pregnant, "Oh, I think you've got even more than you had before."
And, so yeah, when I was 43, I decided to shave my head. my niece was going through cancer, and I wanted to shave my head in honour of her. And then the cool thing was I was able to donate my hair to Children with Hair Loss, so it felt like kind of a perfect scenario. If I was gonna attempt to let my silver shine, I was like, "Okay, let's donate my hair. Let's do this in honour of her, and see how it looks." So that's what I did.
Helen: And was that a deliberate move to go grey?
Jineen: Yeah, at that point, I'd been following Nicole Johnson, who is very famous in the silver hair world, and on YouTube, and, she was my age. And I thought, "Okay, if she can go grey, I can go grey."
And I was dyeing my roots pretty much at that point every like week and a half. 'cause it was coming in so fast, and white. And I barely could get it to cover anymore. And then my head and scalp were itching, and burning. So, I just was like, "You know what? I can't keep doing this anymore." So that was it, and I went from there.
Helen: How long was your hair before you shaved it?
Jineen: Oh, it was down my back. Probably the longest I'd ever had it, honestly. And so that was kind of a big move. But I'd had short hair before, so I wasn't really worried about that. I knew, you know, eh, it's just hair, it'll grow. But it was very extreme, you know, from how I looked at that point.
Helen: So, it was a big shock to the system then?
Jineen: Yes. And honestly the toughest part of that, I mean, nobody really loves to grow out their hair no matter what the colour, but the harder part I had was the funky styles of it as it was going grey, like growing out.
I think it was mostly the hairstyle that made me feel like, oh, I look 20 years older or something, which, because that was the narrative I had been trained to think, like, you're gonna look older. At that point, that was the struggle for me.
So, once it got, like, down to my shoulders, I was like, "Oh, this is not that big of a deal." I think it was mostly I just wasn't loving the hairstyle with the colour, even though I will say the head shave, I got so many compliments on. And it was so freeing. I sometimes wish I'd just kept it shaved for a while, 'cause it was so freeing, and so easy.
Helen: And did you feel kind of self-conscious in the grow out then?
Jineen: I did. I definitely did. And I was still wrestling with the narrative. Like, oh, do people think I look o- like, as if that even matters, for one thing. But clearly, I had been living in a world of, you know. And honestly, some of it was my father, some of it was the,culture I'd grown up in. It was very geared to how you look. Which, you know, most of our society is that way for women.
And I had teenagers, and I was even to them like, "Are you guys cool if I shave my head?" And what I loved is they were like, "I don't care," you know? They didn't care what I was doing. And they were like, "Whatever." Which was nice, 'cause I think I was worried they were gonna be like, "Oh no, don't do it," or, you know, whatever.
And so, and I have two girls and a son. I also said I had five children, and I wanna just specify I was a surrogate for a friend. So, when you're wondering why I said I have three kids, I have three kids, and two I was a surrogate for. So that's just a little piece to my story.
But, anyway, yeah, my kids were like, "Whatever, I don't care." So, I was so relieved by that. And my husband was like, you know, "Cool," you know? So, I luckily had all the support I needed.
What I was laughing about is thinking when I see my father, I wonder what he's going to say, because he loved long hair and he didn't love grey hair. It was really my rebellious thing, you know? And then, I think he tried to compliment me, and he said, "Well, if anybody has the face for it, you do." So, I was like, I think he's trying to compliment me, but it was a little bit of a weird compliment. I was like, okay.
Now my mother says he brags about it. So, I'm like, it's funny how , all of that has changed. And yet my mother was still dyeing her hair, so it's kind of funny. You know,
Helen: Wow.
Jineen: just a different world, different generation.
Helen: I was gonna ask you that. Does she still dye it now?
Jineen: Well, I have to say she just passed actually. It's been a crazy ride because our app launched in July, and she literally passed a few days before, and so the timing was so crazy. And, it was sudden. She had a brain aneurysm, and so yeah, I'm still reeling from all of that.
But she was still dyeing her hair. She literally, the day this happened, she went to lunch. She was laughing. She had just gotten her hair done. It looked beautiful. My cousin dyed it, and styled it. And part of that was she loved to support my cousin who did hair. But I think she was still living in that narrative and like, "Oh, your father would hate it," is what she'd say.
And then I'd always think, "But what about you?" You know, maybe this would be so freeing for you. But again, her sister was a hairstylist as well. I think they just lived in that narrative of like, "Oh, no, you gotta keep dyeing your hair, till you die." So that's what she did. But yeah, it's crazy.
I'm the only one in my family at this point, except for a cousin that's gone grey, as a woman. So, it's been interesting.
Helen: And how about your friends?
Jineen: I have one friend who goes back and forth with kind of letting her silver out, and then not, because she feels like it's a little bit of a mousey colour, and she doesn't love it. I think it looks great.
You know, for me it was really about the freedom more than it was gonna be about how it looked. Obviously, I'm sure if I hated it, I could've gone back to dyeing.
I have a sister who's six years younger than me. She has a couple strands of grey, and I'm like, "How is that possible? Look at me." And then my brother's six years older than me, and he has like a white beard, but his hair is pretty much still brown.
And then my older sister, who's like two years older than me, she still dyes, and she says, "I have a feeling I'm probably about your colour," but she's not ready to stop dyeing it yet. So, I'm like, "Well, you know, whatever." So, I just kind of laugh and think, "Well, I'm the one living in the freedom of not having to deal with it," which is really nice.
And you know, I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair. It's kind of funny. Nobody cared when I was a brunette, you know?
Helen: So, your hair is now quite white?
Jineen: Yes, pretty white. It's like a little bit darker grey in the back. When it was long, because I did grow it very long, and then cut it again. When it gets long, it's kind of a darker grey on the bottom. So, people kept thinking I was highlighting it, like whiter. I'm like, "No, no, it's just a little two-toned."
Helen: And you've said you live somewhere very hot. What do you do to look after your hair to stop it yellowing?
Jineen: Oh, yes. I definitely wear hats when I'm in the sun. I certainly use some purple shampoos here and there. I love that that kind of just brightens my hair. One of my favourite shampoos, I'll just give her a shout-out, is Silvina London. I love hers. And, mostly that's it. I sometimes will use a clarifying shampoo every so often.
I haven't had a crazy issue with my hair turning. The only time I notice it kind of wants to yellow more than any other time, is if I use a straightener, or a curling iron on it too much. And I rarely do that, but if I do, I do it on, like a low heat. So yeah, that's really been it. I've been pretty lucky that for the most part my hair doesn't...
and I don't know if it was because I was very dark. You know, sometimes I wonder if the women that were very dark brunettes, it doesn't always go to the yellow as much. I don't know. That's my theory, but I don't know if it's true.
Helen: I couldn't tell you, 'cause my hair is a lot stripier than yours, so. Don't really have a problem with the yellow, but
Jineen: Yeah. Well, I know that women that were redheads, or things like that, their hair tends to be grey, but it kind of can look a little blonde. So, I don't know that that means it's yellowing necessarily, I think it's just the undertones.
But I think because my hair was more cool, except for when I was young, and had a little bit of that red. 'cause I was a little surprised that, it doesn't have a little more yellow sometimes to it. I think it ended up being so cool in the end that it seems to not have too many issues with yellowing for the most part, as long as I'm keeping up with it, you know?
Helen: So, today you've got red lipstick on, and a red jacket.
Jineen: Yes.
Helen: Have the colours that you wear changed since you chose to let your hair go grey?
Jineen: Yeah, it's interesting. I was thinking about that recently, talking to someone about colours, and I said, "You know, when I was a brunette, I didn't really think too much about what colour, like, looked good on me." I mean, like, you know, you could probably kind of visibly see. And I personally think reds look good on everybody. I think it just depends on the tone.
But I definitely have just embraced colour more with my hair this colour, because I feel like it just makes your silver hair pop. And I am actually, like a winter palette, so all the kind of cooler, bright or jewel tones work really well with my hair colour.
But I think when I was a brunette, I actually wore a lot of warmer things, which then I'm finding out you can be a neutral as well and wear a little bit of gold, a little bit of silver. So, I can kind of play around with a bunch of them. But it's been super fun to watch the colours kind of just like, ooh, against the silver hair. Because my hair is so bright, it's kind of like, it's fun to see which colour kind of, you know, magnifies it.
Helen: Yeah. So, tell me a little bit about your community.
Jineen: So, it's funny, I started this Instagram, and that was when I shaved my head, and I basically just documented my hair grow out. And that kind of grew to me becoming this influencer. And then I thought, "I think I'm gonna start a Facebook group," because I knew there were other Facebook groups for women going grey.
And my name on Instagram is Jineen Marie Silvery, and so I thought, "I'm gonna do one called Colour Me Silvery, and really try to promote, and embrace all the colours with silver hair." So I started that a while back, and it kind of slowly grew, and then all of a sudden it kinda... It's been growing, growing, growing recently to about 28,000 women.
So, it's been really fun to see all these women that are jumping on there to show their progress, where they're at going grey. And then I just try to really get on there and talk about what colours look great with silver hair.
I know there's old school rules about your colours, and I believe in some of that, but I'm so not a rule follower that I'm like, "If you love a colour, we'll figure out a way to make you wear it," you know? And most of the time, if you know how to wear a colour that you love, it looks fabulous, especially with grey hair. And really because grey is a neutral, it's like you can make it work in my opinion.
Helen: Is your group kind of very supportive? 'Cause what I've found is Instagram influencers are often very, very pretty, so it doesn't really make much difference that they have silver hair. They would always be really striking.
Whereas a lot of the Facebook groups, they're a lot more supportive of people, and people who are more nervous seem to be sort of more comfortable
Jineen: Yes.
Helen: in the Facebook groups.
Jineen: Yes, I feel that's true. 'cause people... I think in a way, you know, in the Facebook groups obviously, it's a private group so they can be probably a little bit more vulnerable. And then they can get on there and ask, you know, "What do you think of this?" Or, "What should I do with this?"
And I am definitely a group who's like, if anyone says anything negative, I'm like, "No, no, you're out." I said, "That is not the kind of group that we're gonna be. We're here to always be positive, supportive, loving, kind." That's so important to me. I feel like we're doing a good job at this point. You know, once in a while you catch something, and you just gotta get it out of the group or remove it.
You know, and there are random people that for some reason have nothing to do with their lives, and they wanna judge people. And I'm like, "I think you're in the wrong group." So, we usually take care of that pretty quickly.
But yeah, it's really been fun, and I love to see when women will say, "I love this group. I feel like everyone's really positive." I'm like, "Okay, yay." You know, we're creating the right vibe, so I'm thankful for that.
Helen: Did the idea for the app kinda come from the group?
Jineen: Well, no, actually. It's funny, Alexis and I happened to meet, there was a Silver Sisterhood retreat in Colorado. And it was, let's see now, I think it's been about two years ago. And we met up there, and of course, she had her Silvering Beauty company, and she shared.
And I just kind of was picking her brain one night, like, "You know, I'm wondering what else we can do for women going grey." And she came back to me, I think it was the next day, and said, "You know, I was thinking, what about an app?" And so, I was like, "Man, that's a really good idea." And I went home thinking, "That's a really cool idea. I would have no idea where to begin."
And about a week later, she emailed me and said, "What if we did this together?" And I was like, "Okay." So, we decided to join 50/50. And of course, she had all the business sense, because she already had her amazing company.
And I kind of was coming in with the influencer, and the connections with a lot of women on social media. And had documented almost every day of my grow out. And knew so many women that had, that we were able to kind of join forces, which was kind of amazing.
And that's when we just decided to create it. And, what's cool about it is we've got a bunch of women that have literally documented their silver hair journey, through Instagram, that joined it. So, they are actually mentors on our app, that people can pick, and choose who they wanna follow. And then their story will like unlock with them each month, which is pretty cool.
And it's all different ways of going grey, you know? 'Cause I'm like, not everyone will pick my story, because a lot of people don't wanna shave their head. But I'm the one person that shaved their head. And then a lot of the other women, it's like, you know, some did grey blending, some did just cold turkey grow outs.
And then we've got people that are of all ethnicities, so people can relate to who looks like who, and, you know, like, "Oh, that person looks like me. I wanna try to grow my hair out like them." So, it's kind of a cool thing. And we've got women from all over the world, so that's been pretty amazing.
Helen: Cool. And the app's launched recently, hasn't it?
Jineen: Yes, so we launched July 7th. And like I said, because my mother passed suddenly, it's been a little bit of a slow push, because that kind of hit me in the face real out of nowhere.
So, we're probably gonna kinda gear up and do a big push again for January 1st. Which was what we originally wanted anyway, because we were like a lot of women that are gonna go grey, or even start to grow it out, are doing new things January 1st. So that's kind of probably where we'll kind of build up to that again, and do another big push for it.
It's doing well. We've already got a bunch of downloads. People are giving good feedback, so we're excited about it.
Helen: So, are you using the current users as kind of learning?
Jineen: Yes. Yes. We did some beta testing, of course, before we launched, and with our mentors and people like that. But even now, I think we literally write in the app, "Please give us feedback," you know, of things that you're wanna let us know that you're either looking for or wishing we did, or whatever.
But it's all been really good. And nothing too crazy, which is great. 'cause you know, you never know how it's gonna go till it gets out there. So, it's exciting to see it all, you know, really happening.
Helen: So, is the idea that it kind of supports you through your grow out, if you choose to use it.
Jineen: Yes. You know, for women there's period trackers, and then there's like the size of your baby tracker. And we're like, "Why not a going grey tracker?" You know, a lot of women do wanna just grow it out cold turkey, and so you can literally start from root to about chin, we say takes about two years. So, you can be on the app for two years.
And because of good old AI, I know there's a lot of negative at times about AI, but one of the positives is we're able to use an AI try-on tool. And so you get to onboard your picture, and you put in how much grey you have, if it's wavy, curly, straight, and you get an idea. And then it pops out a picture of what you'll probably look like within so many weeks, so it gives you, the timing, of how long it'll take you to get there.
And then, yeah, you get to pick a woman's story to follow. We also have contributors. We have a bunch of coaches, and menopause coaches, and health coaches. We were like, "You know what? Most women that are going grey are somewhere in the bracket of midlife, you know, and we're all dealing with a lot of things." So, we have words of wisdom that'll pop up from different coaches that we have on the app.
And so, it's a fun way to stay with the app for two years, because you're actually gonna get pop-up notifications. Again, you're gonna get somebody's story. Oh, and the other big thing is you're getting a guide of products that we're gonna recommend at each stage. But again, they unlock as you go, so it's another reason to stay on the app for a while. "Once you get to two years, you're on your way."
Helen: Do you have something for the days when you have a wobble? 'Cause, my experience of going grey
Jineen: Yes.
Helen: is, yeah, some days you really don't like it.
Jineen: Yes, for sure. For sure. We literally have things that we've written about that on the app. And we did so much research about a lot of the times that you are feeling those wobbly moments. Like, probably as it's just starting to give you like that little skunk line, and all those different things.
We literally researched people, like what those time frames were, and we speak to those all throughout those timings throughout the app. So, it's very, encouraging.
Like, I wished I would've had it, you know, to feel like I wasn't alone when I was doing it. 'cause I was pretty much alone even though I had women on the internet doing it. I didn't really know anybody in my world doing it. And we have one of the girls, Anjana, who's from India, and I know she had said it's a big no-no in India a lot of times to go grey. And I think when she went grey, she was very alone.
And so we were like, "This is kind of cool to think that we could reach women all around the world, and it can just be kind of something in their pocket that's holding their hand as they decide to go grey, with other women's voices that are, you know, encouraging them, and kind of pushing them through,"
Because it is hard. And it really is an inside-outside journey, you know, going grey. Because you do have to fight all the societal craziness, you know, all the voices of the things that we've been told about going grey.
Helen: Do you think you have now beaten your inner ageist, in terms of fully accepting your appearance?
Jineen: Some days I do, and some days I don't. You know, it's crazy how certain things are, you know, ingrained in your brain. Even as a young child, that you're still like, "Why do I still have those thoughts sometimes?" I would say I think I've beaten them in the sense that, I'm like, grey hair doesn't mean you're old.
I mean, what's hysterical is things that happen, like I had a little girl say to me a few days ago... Well, first of all, she thought I was older than my brother, and he's 56, and I'm 51. So, I was like, "What?" I was so offended. You know, just 'cause it was my brother, and I'm always teasing how he's older than me.
And she's like, "Well, your hair is white." And then I was like, "Oh, I gotta help this girl." She's five years old, and I'm like, "I gotta teach this girl now." So, I was like, "Well, white hair, grey hair doesn't mean you're old." And so, what's so funny is she had me watching this movie, and an older woman came out, and she had grey hair.
And I'm like, "Oh, that's why you're saying..." But I just thought, "This is how society works." It's always, you know, show this is the older grandmother, whatever. But I was like, "Well, not just grandmothers have white hair."
So those things happen, and you're kind of reminding yourself, "Wait, is she right?" Or you're asking those questions. I'm like, "No, no, no." I have a nephew who has this kind of grey stripe through his hair, and I think he was born with it. So, I'm like, "Grey hair doesn't mean you're old," you know?
And also, it's okay to be older. Like, that's the other thing. I'm getting to the point now where I'm like, "I'm 51," and you know what? After my mother's passed away, and she was 81, I'm like, "I'm thankful to be alive," you know? And I'm thankful to be getting older, because the opposite of that is not really the ideal, right? We wanna be ageing.
Helen: How do you feel about where you're at in the aeging process?
Jineen: I feel good. That's another thing I really try to promote is the whole being pro-ageing, not anti-ageing, you know? Because we do live in a culture that's so like, "This is the anti-ageing remedy for..." And I'm like, "Wait a minute, what?" And when you really think about that, I'm like, "No, I don't wanna be against ageing. I actually wanna be for ageing."
Because again, when you do see people pass away, and you realize how short life is, you're like, "No, I wanna embrace, and like enjoy every year that I get older." And I wanna make good choices to be healthy, and to feel good, and sure to look good for your age. And even that for your age, I know that's such a like negative when people say that.
But I'm like, I'm proud of being 51. I'm thankful to be alive at 51. A lot of people don't get to live even that long. You know, when I was a kid, I always wanted to be older, and then of course I'm sure I got to a stage where I was like, " do I wanna be younger?"
But then I look back at that and I'm like, "No, I don't wanna be younger," because we do have so much more wisdom the older we are. And I really wouldn't trade that to be young and dumb, you know?
Helen: I think we're a lot more relaxed about life when you get a bit older.
Jineen: Yes. Yes. And, you know, I look at my kids, they're all in their 20s, and even some of the things they stress over, and I think, "Oh, if we could just, you know, if we could tell ourselves, you know, when we were that age," And I try to tell them, like, "It's okay." You know, you just wish we could, put a little snippet of that in their brain now, because I know they'll feel the same way when they're on the other side of that.
Like it's all gonna be okay. Like you're doing good. There's no pressure. You don't have to be at a certain place, by a certain age. Like it's okay. I'm like, I'm 51. In some ways I'm really reinventing my whole life. So, I think it's okay to do that at any time. Why not, right?
Helen: Yeah, for me it's all about just trying to stay fit and healthy,
Jineen: Yes.
Helen: and the aesthetics do what they do.
Jineen: Yes. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, because we wanna feel good, and we wanna feel strong, we wanna feel like we can move. And that's the big thing that I see even looking at my parents, like, you know, even their generation, like I wanna be lifting weights, and I wanna be stronger, and I wanna have stronger bones.
And I don't have grandchildren yet, so I'm like, "I'm working out for my grandchildren that will one day hopefully come to me so I can lift them." I'm like, "This is the goal."
Helen: Yeah. My mum's 90 and lives independently, and that's my goal.
Jineen: Wow.
Helen: It's kinda like, I wanna be like her.
Jineen: Yes, that's amazing. That's amazing.
Helen: I'm gonna ask you one last question.
Jineen: Okay.
Helen: If someone came to you and said, "I'm thinking about going grey," what hints and tips would you have for them?
Jineen: Well, first of all, I'd say, "Awesome. That's great. It's so freeing. It's so freeing." And I would also say, of course, "Get the Silvering Sage app.”And get surrounded with women who are positive about the going grey and this experience.” And, you know, maybe even get in a Facebook group.
'Cause that's the other thing, we're really pushing people, even from our app, to get into those Facebook groups, because the community is so important. And it is so important, when you do have the wobbles, you know, and you do have the moments where you're like, "Should I be doing this?" You know, just to have one person say, "You've got this. You can do it."
Those are the things that I would encourage them to do, and to just look up all the things to do to maintain your grey hair. I do tell women when they say they wanna grow it out, I'll say, "All right. My suggestion would be, if you wanna just grow it out straight,"
I'm like, "Do it when it's cooler months and you can wear hats, and scarves, and all the things, if you're thinking you're a little nervous at how it's gonna look as it's, like, two-toned." I'm like, "That's my suggestion, is if you wanna hide it a little bit, till you get through that weird, awkward stage." That's kinda the best tip, I think.
