well joko, i didntthink it possible. But my dad when stressed goes grey (hes in his early 60s) and then a few days later is mainly all black hair again.

He doesnt dye his hair at all

but then he is a freak who managed to grow half a finger back when it was chopped off lol

[redcrx]

lol we've often wondered.
When he lost the top of finger, someone slung it into the field out back of factory (they didnt think it could be saved) Now i have visions of a little "dad" running around in the wild

[joko]

lol. ive just realised i seem to have less than before...i have hardly any really anyway, probably about 10-15, but wondered if by pulling the grey hair out by the root, its allowed the root to ' heal' or whatver that the brown pigment has reawakened...im only 38 so its not like im due to go white just yet...

Hi Joko, I don't think so. I think that sometimes white hairs can be more noticeable than other times, like if your hair is washed or not, or even the light in the room. I'm like you, I have a few, but have had a few since I was 32-8 years ago. I think the rate at which you go grey is hereditary. My Grandma had brown hair and was still mainly brown haired when she died in her 70s. I do advocate semi-permanent dyes though. They cover the grey bits for ages and you aren't stuck with a certain shade.

Yes it can! My brother has been grey/white haired for at least 30 years, his hair is now brown/white. I call him a piebald pony!
