The gray has vanished from my hair.

[Babs2u]

I was "dirty blonde" as a child. Gradually my hair darkened to a medium brown with a blond streak. Then some gray began to appear. I would say it was about 25-30% gray. Now the gray has disappeared!
According to my research this is not unusual. It could be caused by medication, supplements or reduction of stress. (Not likely for me). Not sure it will last. Just hope it isn't anything bad.

I thought this was quite interesting. Apparently I am the only one.

It’s very interesting. I happen to like my silver greys so would be disappointed but this is actually good news. Whatever changes you’ve made recently whether food related or stress related etc., your body obviously likes.
It’s news worthy for sure. Congratulations!!
I was dirty blonde as a child but had a lot of red in my hair and still do.

Do you colour your hair?

Sometimes it takes people a while to notice a new thread, and some threads escape my attention for 2-3 days, so I must not be good at navigating here.

It might be supplements, if you've added some. Decades ago, Linus Pauling and other doctors used to get on talk shows and promote supplements. One of them, not Pauling, but I forget which of the others, even stated the "formula" on which supplements to take to prevent graying.

Over the past 30 years, I've taken just about every supplement there is, but they didn't make my hair graually get darker.

However, when I got tired of looking at gray hair, I made sure it got dark overnight once, and every 3-4 weeks, it suddenly gets dark all over again, and not from supplements.

I used to put a blond rinse on mine to highlight the gray. It left the brown alone. I stopped about a year ago.

I like gray and silver but that mouse color between brown and gray can look drab.

 

[Babs2u]

Oh. Your question. I put a blond rinse on it to enliven the gray but stopped a year ago.

This is true and makes this a good thing.

I truly believe my hair is not as white as it was when I was working. It's more of a beige now.
I've read some peoples hair gets less gray when they are out of a stressful situation.

Perfect. I envy people who can get away with using rinses. Lucky you. I missed the last sentence that you stopped. I personally hated having to colour my roots every week or so which is why I finally embraced my greys.

I'm starting to slowly lose my grey hair too...
albeit it's falling out.

So, I hope that you can understand why I'm not as excited as you are, @Babs2u...

That is cool! Enjoy!

I think it's very interesting, @Babs2u! I have a hard time staying on top of this forum sometimes. It's busy here! That's a good thing, but sometimes I miss threads.

It is interesting. I've read there are natural supplements that will get rid of gray hair. Maybe there is one in one of your supplements?

Years ago a relative who was a high power executive had a nervous breakdown overnight. He went from dark brown to pure white. A few months later he recovered from both.

My MIL had a significant dark streak in her hair after being in an accident. That wasn’t even her original colour. It looked good on her.

When my hair started turning grey lo these many years ago, it would do that. I'd get greyer and then the new hair coming in would be all black and then I'd get greyer and then..... Well, it was a cycle.

Now, I'm more grey than black, luckily it's a silverish-grey. But I'm still almost totally black at the nape of my neck and on the hairline on the sides. When I get a short haircut, it's really obvious and looks unnatural.

Mine used to be several shades of dark gray to white and now it's more light silver. I was losing hair when I began dying it lighter when roots turned white. It slowly got thicker once I stopped using dyes. I liked the multi-colored look better but it is what it is. I noticed my skin tone has changed along with my hair, The reddish/pinkish tone I had when younger has faded. Which that I am glad of as it looked terrible with light hair.

What hair I have left on my 'napper' is white, but strangely, what's at the top of my legs is quite dark and hides my 'crown jewels.

My mom had medium brown hair and from the time I was born, always had one 1/4 inch gray streak running from her widow's peak to her neck.

At some point after WWII ended, that streak just disappeared. I asked her what she used to get rid of it, but my dear mother, who was such a purist, stated that she awoke one morning and it was gone. She never used anything alien to her body at all.

So who knows? God works in mysterious ways.

A p.s. here; when she was a chorus girl, of course she did have to use stage make up when she was in a show. But, it disappeared like a whirlwind as soon as she was off stage.
