I have a couple of stripes, maybe a 1/4 an inch wide above my temples, but not a lot of gray (yet) at age 50. Seems to be genetic, my mom is 76 and still has naturally blond hair with just a bit of white streaking through it.Quote:

Both of my parents didn't get gray until their 60s. My mom died at 67 and was not really even 50% gray when she died.
Yes, on the genetic part. My paternal grandmother had brunette hair and started graying only in her late 60s or 70s. She died at 81 and was also not even 50% gray. My maternal grandmother, otoh, was prematurely gray. According to my mom, she was almost completely gray by age 30! So, I'm somewhere between the two. My mom is gray now in her late 70s but was not gray in her 50s, so it must skip a generation. Wish I'd inherited from my paternal grandmother instead!Quote:

Mahogany/chestnut red in my 30's. More white.
Gunmetal gray and white in my 40's.
Doesn't matter jack-doodley what I eat.
I'm "naturally" still red-headed. Henna is "natural." ;) :p
(I do find it deeply ironic that I still have plenty of red hair.... just not on my head. And it has nothing to do with what I eat. It stays red year after year after year after fad after fad after fad fat after skinny after fat after skinny after fat. Red.)
And here I always thought collar MUST match cuffs. I must be dressing ALL wrong. :p
That's what the henna is for.... ;):cool::DQuote:
