Does grey hair ever "turn" grey or does it only grow grey?

Question

hi

Answer 1

As we age, the amount of hair pigment (melanin) that we produce lessens, turning the hair clear or 'grey'. As to how grey you will become and at what age the process begins, is all down to your genes, so take a close look at your parents for a clue about what will happen. Most people go grey from the front back, but again this is inherited. It is common too to get a streak of grey and a few people get a condition where the hair goes grey then natural colour alternately along its length every millimetre or so. This is nothing to worry about as your body is just deciding to produce then not produce melanin. Ever heard the one about the guy that went grey over night? Strictly speaking this can't happen, because once the hair has grown, it can't just 'go grey". The colour molecules are formed below the level of the scalp and then proceed to grow, therefore it would take the same length of time as your hair takes to grow to see a major difference. What can happen though, is that the person may suffer some form of shock or illness that causes them to lose a lot of hair. The majority of the hair left behind can be grey and not the original natural coloured hair and new hair that grows after that may be only grey, possibly also as a result of the illness or shock.
It is not scientifically proven but large amounts of the vitamin PABA, found in health food stores, is said to slow down the process of going grey. Also the supplements taken to improve the strength and growth of hair can help (biotin, tyrosine, B vitamins, cystine, inositol and choline).

Answer 2

it grows grey, not turns. your hair follicule stops producing the color pigmentation and it grows hair with no pigment. it is generally a hereditary thing as well. i started to go grew at 21 or 21....similar to my dad. Now have more grey than my 57 year old mom.

Also, not all grey hair color is created equal. my grey is nice and white. it takes color extremely well and most people don't know I have grey unless it grows out too much. my mom's grey is this funky yellow grey. If you don't watch how you dye it, can be very brassy colored.

Answer 3

my little cousin's 11.
and she has some gray hairs.
but most of her hair is the regular color, brunette.
Taylor Hicks experienced the same thing,
going gray at the teenage years.
It is common for older people to get gray hair,
between the ages of 38-45
Then, you just get really gray.
Some older people do not go gray for a long time.
Until they are like, 57 or 60.
But some young people go gray (taylor hicks, my cousin) for example.
So, they grow gray.
They don't TURN gray.
