HGTV star Hilary Farr has recently embraced her natural gray hair, opting to ditch the dye. In an Instagram exchange on April 11, Farr shared her advice with a fan interested in following her lead. The fan had asked for tips on transitioning to gray, explaining she was tired of the expense and wanted a change.
Farr’s simple response was, “Grow it out and if you hate it—go back to coloring your hair.” This candid advice resonated with many, especially fans who had followed her journey.
The conversation unfolded after Farr posted about wanting to renovate her kitchen on Instagram. Her new look sparked admiration from her followers, many of whom praised her gray hair. One fan commented, “Is that gray hair I see? I LOVE it!!” Another added, “The gray hair is quite attractive!” and others celebrated her bold choice with comments like, “Yay!!! You’re a silver fox!!! Beautiful!”
Farr, known for her role in “Love It or List It,” exited the show in 2023 after many years. Reflecting on her decision, she told People magazine in December 2023, “It’s time for me to move on and meet new challenges.” Despite leaving the show, Farr expressed her intention to stay close friends with her former co-host, David Visentin.
Visentin echoed this sentiment in an interview with TV Insider in April 2025. He shared, “Hilary and I will be friends forever. I love her… I appreciate everything she gave to this show since 2008.” Visentin also confirmed that Farr would not appear in the upcoming 20th season of “Love It or List It,” acknowledging her new chapter in life.
