Woman Updates Look As She Swaps Dark Hair For Gray

Nov 02, 2020

This video follows Diane Whitmer's makeover with the Makeover Guy, a.k.a. Christopher Hopkins. She is a retired teacher from Nixon, Missouri, with two grown children and six grandchildren and admits she's let herself go.

Diane loves spending time with her grandchildren and as a result, takes very little time to keep up with her own style. She has been slowly letting the gray grow in and is wondering if going completely gray is the right move for her. Stay tuned to find out.

Diane admits to forever being at war with her naturally wavy hair. She has no natural curl, but instead unruly waves that are prone to tangling. Her go-to style has often been a short bob. She uses a flat-iron on her hair and then wraps it in Velcro rollers to achieve this look. Just the thought of all this is making us tired!

Diane recalls getting gray hair when she was just 30 years old. Of course, then it was just a single hair here and there. However, now she feels she is mostly gray and is debating trimming the dark off completely and letting the natural color shine through.

Ultimately, Diane is just fed up with all the maintenance and upkeep with her hair. She longs for a quick, easy style that won't take time away from hanging out with her grandkids. Those are some lucky kids!

Christopher Hopkins has been wowing the masses with his dramatic makeovers on television, but that isn't all this entrepreneur is known for. He has a best-selling book called Staging Your Comeback: A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45, and an album called I'll Be Seeing You.

Additionally, Christopher co-owns and founded MAKEOVERGUY Appearance Studio located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From just a small child, Christopher's mother recalls him giving his sisters' dolls new hairstyles using bobby pins and combs. It seems Christopher's talent was always in the making.

When Diane's new look is finally revealed, you won't believe your eyes. This super-busy grandmother with unkempt, uncolored hair has undergone a dramatic transformation! Her once wild hair is now tamed in a short, pixie style with angled bangs down the right side. The big question is did she go gray?

She did! Diane gushed about how she had been wanting to go gray for such a long time and was happy to finally do so. She said the new look has increased her confidence and that the makeover day was one of the greatest of her life.

Diane recalls the moment she left the makeover room and went into the hallway where her husband was waiting for her. He glanced up at her and looked back down not realizing who she was! Clearly, Christopher knows what he's doing if he can make a wife of 40 years unrecognizable to her husband!

Diane says she hasn't looked this good in years and you can tell she's incredibly happy with her results.
