Hair...

[sherryillk]

Okay, what the hell is wrong with my hair?!

It's turning brown! Like brown-brown and not just dark brown that looks pretty black if you don't intently stare at it. It's really starting to freak me out. I've noticed for a while now that I have brownish hair. But in the past it's been still a pretty dark shade of brown so I was never very worried. Now, I'm identifying huge chunks that are just brown in my hair... And it's starting to get really noticeable against my other normal, dark black hair...

God, I hope this isn't a sign that I'm going to be a premature grey... :\

:D Hey, that means you don't have to get it expensively dyed or anything! *jealous*

Hmm... do you swim a lot? My sisters' hair turned that way because of the chlorine since they're on a swim team. Or maybe the sun? *no idea*

No, I don't swim at all... Ever since I don't know how to swim... :\

And I don't dye my hair either so it's not exactly something that I want my hair to be turning color... And right now it's not exactly uniform either so it's not exactly flattering... :\

Ahhh. Well, you can claim they're artful highlights? (I actually have brownish highlights that look pretty uniform unless you're about two inches away from my head.)

Fascinating. I'm going to pose that question on a forum where a lot of experts gather, and tell you what I get. I don't think you're in any danger of turning gray anytime soon however. When hair decides to turn white or gray, it does so. No in betweens. Some hair does change color naturally however. If you're in the sun a lot for instance, it will bleach it. I know that blonde haired people often have their hair color change darker as the years go by, being blonde when they're 20 and then suddenly have it turn dark brown when they're 25. It's probably very natural.

I have some blond strands as well... I've been getting progressively more and more blond strands of hair as I get older but it's still only like a handful of individual strands that go blond... But I have way more brown hair than that...

I'm not really in the sun all that much, at least no more than I used to be growing up...

I know my hair hasn't always been jet black as some Asians hair is, but it's always been noticably dark enough that that it looks pretty black. Now, I can grab locks of hair that is brown... :\ And what is really weird is that it's the hair on the inside, the side that usually does not get direct sunlight on it that is more brown than the hair on the top that do get sunlight... It's all very perplexing for me. I'll be very interested in hearing about why this is happening because the way it's going, I'm afraid my hair will turn brown, then blond and then probably grey... :(

^^; My hair has gotten lighter and more and more brown as I get older... I think it's partially an age thing though it's also sort of a sun exposure thing, since the more you're exposed to sun the lighter it gets, but it's not the same as going grew. ^^;; and grey hairs have a totally different texture, too =P
