why black brown hair turns red?

Question

My hair, actually, but any hair in these conditions. Why does it turms red? When I was little my hair was brown (down there it's still like that) but as I got older, may eyebrows turned almost black(which looks good for me) and my hair became darker and darker. And red, It's very dark and red. Why? I'm not caucasian or anyhting like that, But a big mix, my mother's side is more white, with blonde people, or white with black hair, and from my father, he is brown, and his mother is darker.So I'm olive skin.
Why this? is something inherent of the dark hair?

very funny.I'm 20!

Answer 1

oh this is typical for this hair type before it gets a shade lighter.

i'm mixed, growing up my hair went from blonde, dirty blonde, red, brown, golden brown (that was a strange twist the red part)

now as i get older.. my hair is getting near black. not only now do i see grays but tinges of red. this happens with some who have dark hair leaning on the black side.

my skin is semi dark, not an olive but i'm not exactly white.

i'm caucasian mix.

this happens often enough, well in my family. my grandmother's hair which was almost a jet black would turn red when she worked in a green house and nursery for plants.

and my brother who has dark brown hair... it turns redish brown when he's out in the sun for extensive periods of time.

Hair Turning Red

Answer 3

Dark and red sounds like a beautiful color! As far as I know, the differing shades and hues of hair color is only well known to a point. I have an Asian friend whose whole family has a typical jet-black hair color, yet hers is a reddish brown.(Ironically, it is the same color many Asians dye their hair to achieve.)

Here's a fact about hair. Your base color is gray. It's colored with pigment. With time you don't produce as much pigment and it becomes lighter until it stops producing all together and you are left with the base(gray). Unfortunately UV rays and chemically treated pools will do quite the damage to the pigment. Some hair shampoos are made with UV blockers which can help prolong this lightening effect.

Everyone's hair has hilights and lowlights. Yours are red but some brunettes have blond undertones and all hilights increase in intensity when a lot of time is spent in the sun.

Answer 6

I remember reading once that Melanine, the pigment responsible for dark skin and hair is really very dark red and not just black as it appears. It absorbs ultraviolet light and thus protects us from too much of it. Anyway maybe you can see the red in the melanine.

Answer 7

Could be any number of things...sun, chemicals in your water, shampoo & conditioner, as well as, genetics. My natural hair color is very dark brown, but perms have changed the color to a much lighter reddish brown.

Answer 8

Maybe it is because some of your melanin is dying or your melanin count is changing. Many children who have blonde hair become brunettes as they get older. You could be experiencing something similar.

Answer 9

when i eat pumpkin seeds my hair goes from brown to blonde.

people feed their canaries a special diet to make them more yellow.

maybe you could read a book about canaries to see what other foods can change the colour of your hair

Answer 10

if you have blonde hair this will naturally get bleached by the particular sun in the summer. There has been this guy in my class who else had golden blonde hair that had been a medium brown near the bottom part. When he came back to university after summer vacation, it was almost platinum blonde!
