A fairly pleasant surprise

Loosing hair isn't one of the sides that I was particularly looking forward to. Since my doctor told me not to color my hair, I was really dreading the 3 tone hair I would wind up with since my natural hair is salt and pepper... less salt, and my hair color was auburn.

My hair has been thinning for over 2 months now and I was checking out my roots in good light and guess what!!!!! Most of the hair that has fallen out is gray... my roots are almost all brown.

It's not the best way to get rid of the gray but....................

Trinity4 & spectada: LOL, especially if while on tx -- it would be more angst and pain than even 'that Irish chick' could muster.

Diane12855:  Hey, gotta revel in the silver lining when you find it!  My husband noticed that too, it was the gray falling out, but an added bonus: recently the hair that's growing back (in his beard and on his head) is brown, not gray!  Now he's saying he can package riba/inf as a hair-straightener AND hair-coloring!
