Gray hair turning brown

[jenny317]

Has anyone experienced gray hair turning dark brown??? I am 40 years old and am having an unusual regeneration of brown hair. I started going gray when I was in my early 20's. (No I am not coloring it brown!!) I have a significant amount of brown hair growing in between what was previously completely gray!! I am not taking any medications and I have not changed my diet... I am perplexed as to why it is changing back to brown??? I am perfectly healthy. I am not taking any vitamins either... Has anyone ever heard of this???

I have been totally grey for 13 yeas following chemotherapy and hair loss.  I am 77.  Now I have lots of dark hair coming in to the point that I am beginning to have the salt and pepper look.  I have no idea if this is good or bad. Pat

In the past month, some of my white roots are growing in black- real black. I never had black hair in my life!! My hairdresser and I laugh at all of my back streaks.

I've heard that once you're not in a stressful lifestyle and eat right and exercize, Your hair can go back to it's original color. Dr.Joel Fuhrman mentioned it in his Eat to Live book.

It's happened to me too.  I'm 49 and fairly gray, having begun the process in my 20s.  But over the last year I've occasionally found, on my sleeve or the floor, hairs that were gray at the tips but blondish-brown (my childhood color) closer to the root.  It's never a gradual color change, always a clear demarcation, like dye grow-out.  My hair has been changing texture too.  It went from my youthful wavy to outright curly in my 40s, and now I'm going Klingon-style frizzy, maybe heading toward straight/wavy again.  I've had significant health problems over the last decade and went on disability a year and a half ago.  Being on disability has definitely reduced the stress levels a bit.  Hmmmmm.......

I have had white hair for at least 10 years and in the past week to ten days my hair is turning a very light blonde.  It is a lovely color and it is not just in patches it is the entire head.  I am on very few meds and nothing that you would attribute to hair color change.

Personally, I like the white better and would love to know what is going on.  I am under a fair bit of stress but the only time I have heard of stress turning hair a different color is for the hair to go grey with stress.

This is weird and would love to know he cause

I too am finding that my very white hair (totally white for about 10 years) is beginning to turn brown. It has been turning for about 6 months, but more so over the last 2 months.  I was noticing it and then people in my office began to notice it as well.  I have become the topic of much conversation.  Causes?  I have a very stressful job, I take Vitamin D every day, I take fish oil every day.  I don't know if these supplements have anything to do with it.  Maybe it is hormonal?  I am 56 years old.  If anyone has a good answer I would love to hear it.  I was told that I should see a Dermatologist about it.
