Kourtnee Jinright said the process of dying her grandmother's hair took about two hours total, but a little longer to film because of all the laughter.
Since posting, her video has been liked more than 650,000 times with many TikTok users sharing how much they've fallen in love with her grandma.
\"She is the CUTEST!!!! Really made me miss my grandmas love that you can create such special memories with her,\" one user wrote in the comments. Others shared similar sentiments.
Kourtnee Jinright said she wasn't shocked by her grandmother's reaction as it's her usual personality. \"We are always laughing until we can't breathe,\" she said.
She also said she wasn't surprised that the video went viral.
\"My grandma is incredible,\" she said. \"All of the people in my life are obsessed with her and I knew the whole world would be too. At this point, she's everyone's grandma.\"
She continued, \"I had so many people reach out saying their grandparents had passed away, and this video really made them feel good. If it can make one person's day, I know I did my job right.\"
\"Social media can be a scary place for mental health, but I hope this video can bring brightness to the internet,\" she added. \"No comparing, just warmth and pure genuine love.\"
For her part, Betty Mae Jinright has always been game to try new colors, and while this was the first time she tried multiple colors at once, Kourtnee Jinright said there is more to come.
\"If you stay tuned, we are going to be doing a fun little Fourth of July theme on my grandma next,\" she said, noting that her 65-year-old uncle also wants his beard colored teal for an upcoming Jacksonville Jaguars football game.
\"I'm beyond fortunate to have a family that is extremely supportive and is full of pure fun,\" she added.
