i'm in my early thirties and have gray hair. the thing is that it seems like at times i have less gray hair than at other times, and every now then i'll find hairs that are both gray and brown. so, my question is: if the natural color is at the roots and the gray is at the tips, is the hair turning gray or is it turning back to its natural color?
A question about gray hair?
As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like gray, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray.
People can get gray hair at any age. Some people go gray at a young age - as early as when they are in high school or college - whereas others may be in their 30s or 40s before they see that first gray hair. How early we get gray hair is determined by our genes. This means that most of us will start having gray hairs around the same age that our parents or grandparents first did.
Gray hair is more noticeable in people with darker hair because it stands out, but people with naturally lighter hair are just as likely to go gray. From the time a person notices a few gray hairs, it may take more than 10 years for all of that person's hair to turn gray.

Grey hair is like any hair...it falls out-grows back in..You are a work in Progress. I don't color mine..it was brown-now only maybe 75% brown-the rest streaked gray....I don't know what it is about it-maybe because EVERYONE colors their hair--but perhaps it]s really because it's not--it attracts a lot of NICE comments..so why spend money coloring it if this is the reaction! Plus--it's free! What a deal! To me it's a no brainer-and I refuse to worry about it.
