Coming Soon: A Cure For Gray Hair?
Popular Science ^ | 05/03/2013 | Francie Diep

Researchers are working on a true anti-graying cream that could make people produce their own youthful colors again. So far, it's worked in just a few people who have lost pigment in their hair and skin not from age, but from a condition called vitiligo. Because the cause of vitiligo pigment loss is the same as one possible cause of graying in old age, however, the prototype cream might be a step toward a real anti-graying cream. (But what would we do without those Just For Men commercials?)

Grey hair - cheap to fix.
No hair - not so much.

The cinnamon and honey tea my husband and I have every morning (past three months) is causing my husband’s totally grey hair to begin to darken and my salt and pepper hair is darkening also. Just a FWIW :)

When I was about 35 I caught a ride to work with a co worker who was taking her 5 year old to grandma’s house.

I got in and the little girl started playing with my hair and asked “Are you somebody’s grampa?” LOL

The irony. In my 60s I have not a single gray hair on my head, whereas my facial hair is all gray. After 40 years I shaved off my mustache because I was constantly accused of coloring my hair since the mustache is all gray. I missed it & grew it back.

It was actually suggested to me that I add gray to my hair so it wouldn’t look like I colored it to remove the gray (that I don’t have).

Screw em.

Why would I color my hair? You can tell my age by my wrinkles. My age is no secret regardless of hair color.

Lily Munster tried this and the women went bald. A similar incident also happened on Gilligans Island. These folks should learn from history.

As long as I've got hair

My husband's brother's hair went grey pretty quickly. I remember him saying the same thing: "I don't care if it goes completely white, as long as I still have hair." Hubby's family is blessed with thick, wavy hair.
