Diet change=natural hair colour change?

[emily_in_nc]

I don't have any gray. Maybe my good eating has something to do with it? Genetics are on my side, too. I only feel like my hair is "colored" for maybe the first week after it is done.

Wow...I honestly thought everyone had at least some gray hair by their 50s (and most during their 40s as well). You are a rare and lucky person! I got my first couple of grays at 25. I'd say I'm about 50% gray now at age 50.

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.

At one point, when I was under stress, I had a little bit near my part, at the temple. I pulled out the hairs and they never came back.
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!

White when I was a kid
Then blonde in elementary.
Strawberry blonde as a teen.
Red in my 20's. Starting to go white in spots
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."

(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.

That's what the henna is for....

I never thought I'd like my silver hair sprinkled everywhere, but I love how it looks and how it sparkles!

Your hair is gorgeous, I hope mine looks that cool when it changes!
