When did you first start to go gray? Does gray hair ever turn white?

I love white hair.
People have told me they think it’s ‘weird’ that I haven’t started to gray yet, (I’m 57), but it seems ‘normal’ to me.

BTW, bring it on! I’m not worried – just curious about how much variation there is.

Prevent Gray Hair
Of course it turns white. Why wouldn’t it. There is no reason why it would not.
Gray Hair
hear turning gray can be estimated by the age your parents turn gray, if they ever did. it is not uncommon for people to never go gray, and as for turning white, only specific colours of hair turn white, ginger is the most common.
Gray Hair Causes
I’m 25 and I have strands of grey, my best friend is 28 and he is completely bald on top, we call it the horseshoe.
Gray Hair Cure
My hair started to turn grey when I was a teenager, maybe 16 years old or so, and now, in my late 50s, it’s mostly grey with just about 5-10% darker hair mixed in there.
And, just for the record, all “grey” hair is white, it’s just that when it’s salt-and-pepper it looks greyer and when it’s all white, it looks whiter, that’s all, but each individual strand is white, trust me.

It will rely on your family background. My parents were grey, not silver
or white. But they weren’t totally grey. One of my grandmothers’ had
white hair, but her son, my dad, did not. That grandmother turned white in her 50′s, and never was grey. She had a sliver sheen to her hair and was often complemented for it’s beauty. I have silver strands in my hair, which also darkened when I got older. I have been slow to get these strands and I am in my mid 60′s. My husband has silver
and white hair, he started greying when he was in his 30′s. His parents greyed when they were younger too. His oldest aunt had silver hair, and was admired by her other sisters, one of which was my husbands’ mother. She had auburn hair naturally as a young girl. And it turned an ugly shade of grey. She began coloring it dark brown in her 50′s.She and her sisters all wanted that silver hair color in the worst way.
No matter what your true hair color is, you can always
change it to the color you prefer when the time comes. Hair coloring kits are so easy to use at home. Gone are the dyes that made a womans’ hair turn from grey to blue, or pink or purple. Thank goodness for that.

I kept one color or another in my hair – until I retired at age 61.
I let it grow out and was quite surprised to see how gray I had become.
It took getting use to.
It’s not completely gray and not white at all.
My friends hair is white – her sister applies some sort of lightener and it turns it pure white.
My hair is more like a steel gray – I don’t mind but I do agree – I would like white best.
My daughter just turned 51 – she has a fleck or two of gray..
My cousins hair turned prematurely gray by the time she was 29.
DeeJay.
EDIT: I just looked it up – it means the same – gray or grey.

Gray Hair Remedy
I had a bad shock of news in my late 40′s. I got to streaks of white in each temple that week. It has not advanced. It’s the same two spots. I use a 1/4 tsp. of hair color on those spots every 4-6 weeks.
My mom passed at 52 y.o. so I don’t know her greying pattern. My dad has a full head of white hair at age 80. I don’t know what to expect for my future. I’m the youngest of 3 sisters. They are not showing much signs of grey.
Gray Hair Remedy
I was about 45 yrs old when I noticed my hair getting some grey through it…so I started to put a colour in it….but at 50 I let the colour grow out and was surprised to see just I big grey streak across the front of my hair. I’m 60 now and the grey streak doesn’t appear to have gotten any bigger….or maybe I need my eyes tested again.
Gray Hair Shampoo
When I was three years old, and had my first flying lesson. When I said what dad said for the first time.
Bleach your hair. Get some dye and do it platinum.
Mine is not grey or white, it is platinum, naturally.
I dyed it red a few weeks ago, guess what color it is?
Not red, just light blond again. Didn’t take it.
Guess God wants me blond or platinum.
Shampoo for Gray Hair
I noticed my first gray hair when I was 12. I’m also in my 50s with salt and pepper gray, mostly around my face. My 14 year old grand-daughter thinks it looks cool.

I was twenty four and it hit me hard. They were and are white. Not grey.
Started in my beard first.
I don’t think I will ever be all white. At least it still there .
Gray Hair Causes
My ‘gray’ has always been white…began in my late 30′s..now is a about 60% white and 40% black – I’m now 67
Gray Hair Causes
I never had any gray hairs until I had babies in my 30s. Now it is “salt and pepper”, but I do color it. Looks great with reddish-blonde highlights. So much better than the alternative. I’m in my 60s. My avatar is me 30 years ago.
Grey Hair
I think it depends on genes. The women on my mothers side of the family were all blonde and all went white instead of gray. I remember my grandmother had thick white curly hair that looked like a halo around her head. It was pure white by the time she wass 60 and she never put anything on it.
