Is thinning grey hair stronger?

[Deb_c430]

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?

I must admit I was motivated (both times) to keep away from chemicals;  I'm such a big baby when it comes to sx's.   If it meant that my body stayed compartively comfortable, I gotta say I don't really mind if I look like a monster.

I hope I recover quickly enough to retuirn to work 4 weeks after tx - figures I just may leave my hair it's natural grey/brown state with some highlights.   I actually quite like grey hair on women, but in the business world there seems to be a bit of pressure (perceived?).   I would've liked to dye it and carry on like the immortal being I pretended to be, but needs dictate....  I feel very very human these days!!!!

One of the first things I heard or read, when joining this forum, was DO NOT DYE HAIR,  Nurse also told me not to, it can damage already weak follicles. I had never heard that before and had already txed twice, dying the whole way through!

Kristina: I keep thinking the same thing,  then I see it and I panic and I break the no dye rule! lol since last Nov I have only done it 3 or 4 times.  

LL you are so funny!  Yeah they keep popping up on my head!

I haven't seen my grey come through in years.   Every time I go to 'grow out' my dye some smart alec at work mentioned that it 'was time to get the dye out' or that I was 'starting to show my age'  (I deserved it for the flack I gave others at every available opportunity)...

So I'm taking this opportunity to see how grey I am.  There are some curly greys coming through, and definitely a silver sheen across the brown.  

On mono-tx I 'thinned' in the 5th and 6th month, but not noticeably to other people.  I grew my hair and wore it up - doing the same this time if it doesn't start driving me crazy;  it's sooooooo nice to see my OWN hair (or is it tx hair? mmmm.. just another part of my strange kind of normal these days)..

LOL!!! I have little grey , for 50, and what IS up with them coming in curly cue!? Like those 'other' hairs :)

My hair loss, while very lucky in it over all, was long strands, so guess the hair shaft theory could be right??

Note....all the hairs that grew back are not curly cues...YET!

Either way......Clairol it WILL be. Guess I'll just have to buy straightener too :)

Well geesh,  I should of been born  Norwegian instead of Italian!

I´ve heard that grey hair shafts is hollow so it aught to be weaker then ordinary not grey hair shats.
