Is thinning grey hair stronger?

We have lots of conversations here about thinning hair in here.  Some loose a lot more than others, does anyone have any theories  about the greyness mattering, concerning  thinning and greying hair?

The chin hair comments are great!  I usually can't see them until they are long enough to braid and I can see the sparkle, then it seems like they are rooted in cement when I try to tweeze them. And you're right -- not a one fell out during TX.
Thanks to all your heroes for sharing and caring.

My hair is light brown, light red, blond, and now some grey (acually, white).  The grey ones are real sturdy and even though they all sparkle, the grey's are like the red ones.. .they kinda' GLOW.  

If I'm going to have lunch with a guy I like, I try to maneuver him to a table with direct sunlight. :-)  The risk being that I'm also over 50, so you can get the occasional wild "whisker" that's white, and they glow too!  LOL  I HATE it when that happens.
Those chin ones are only ones that need to fall out during treatment!  lol  I like being sparkle-woman!  Add in a tad of hightlighter and they ALL pop!  

But hey Deb, I bought a cowboy hat online that benefits pancreas research (what my mother died from). It's shapeable, black, and it has sparkles all over it!  So if I do go ahead and perm, and it falls out, at least I can still be SPARKLY!  lol  I think it was at luvyourhat.com and she had pink ones too.

Here's something I read once about grey hair that I thought was interesting.  Someone had written in asking why stress appeared to turn a person "grey overnight". They answered that high stress actually didn't TURN the hair grey, but that it made hair fall out FASTER, and be replaced by grey.

You are too a hero!!  Just for keeping that sense of humor, if nothing else!!
