Ginger Hair!!!!

[Craig007]

My dad, who is in his late 60s has grey hair, but recently it has started to go ginger! Around the temple area mainly. Anyone else heard of this?

Has he been out in the rain. Its rust.

[Craig007]

lol DMA. We have done all the jokes with him believe me.

Did you know Bonno is a secret ginger - he dies his hair black. Maybe your dads the same but ashamed to admit it.

Does he smoke? You often see grey-haired people with ginger hair at the front where the nicotine has stained it. If not, I'm clueless.

The nicotene was going to be my suggestion! Or.....has he been trying to colour it on the quiet and its not turned out??!

My dad is also in his late 60s and his beard and temples started going a gingery colour a few years ago. I think if your hair is a certain colour and starts losing the pigments it will look kind of gingery before turning grey. Thats what's happening to my dad anyway. Get him some Just for Men if he's not happy with it.

a similar thing happened to my dad but it turned out he had been regularly slapping aftersun on his face and head after being on the golf course. Unfortunately my mum had bought one that contained tan prolonger/fake tan. As mentioned in other postings it looked like he was a heavy smoker and the grey hair had got quite discoloured and gingery!!
