My story and thoughts on gray hair. In 1997, my thyroid was in almost complete shutdown, but I didn't know it. Only knew that I was gaining some weight eating salads and drinking water. Doctor confirmed this with a simple blood test. Within 2 weeks...I had gray all through my hair. (looked like it had been frosted)
I have always had long straight hair, but last year after losing 100 lbs. I got 30 inches cut off and donated it to 'locks of love'. The salon I went to told me that grau hair was coming back as the 'in' thing. They now have 8 different shades of gray that women are coming in and having their hair colored. I laughed as mine is all natural and I love it!
Funny thing, my mom is 30 years older than me and has very little gray in her hair. But as for me...I would rather be spending time with my grandbabies or quilting (when I get the chance).
