could it be the hair dye you're using ?

Some people go thru this when they get on a healthier diet. Strange but true.

I don't think he mentioned anything about using hair dye. That was sort of rude.. I've noticed over the past couple of years that my hair has gone from very dark brown to very light. Mine may be greying though.

How very interesting. Our bodies are just so amazing. I have not personally experienced this... but I color my hair - so I'm unlikely to notice... but I'm going to keep track and see if I need less frequent color jobs.

A friend of mine adopted a baby from Russia. He was a brunette when he arrived, but she put him on a vegan diet and he is a blonde now. Figure THAT out.

Anything is possible in this world of dieting and medication. Go figure! Our granddaughter after chemo now has curly brown hair and prior to chemo had blonde straight hair. So anything is possible!

My hair is thinning due to the Med's I'm on; and I asked the girl who does my hair about coloring it; and she said that because I take so many medications, she couldn't color my hair. Something about the chemicals they use.

I have highlights added to my hair so I'm not sure what color it should be, but if this is a positve thing for you then congratulations.

my hair has gotten lighter and grayer fast since the beginning of my diabetes, I'm sorry about the hair dye joke .

OK! As the resident hairdresser I actually have something of value to add.
Foxysdad- zinc deficiency has been known to cause greying of the hair. It is not unheard of for someone to start a regimen of naturally boosting your zinc thru DIET, not supplements and have the hair return to it's original color. So if your diet is zinc rich, that could explain it.
JJJAX- That is unfortunate, as there is no reason (except chemo and radiation) that should prevent you from getting your hair colored. All that they should do is a deep clarifying treatment before hand, with (for example) Redken PreArt. That removes chemicals that have come out in your body chemistry and coated your hair. Even pregnancy is not a reason any longer.
I am glad I finally could add something.

Robin: I just read your reply; and all I have to say is THANKS!!!! I'm not on chemo or radiation; so now I can once again ask my hairdresser to color my hair. THANKS A BUNCH!!!!

Hey, that's great! I'm a licensed Hair Stylist, and I would say that 95% of people think thier hair should be the same most of thier lives. I had so many mothers come in and say my little boy had such gorgeous curly, blond hair, then when he turned 12 it suddenly went straight and darker. Well, what else happens when you're 12(major hormonal changes)? I know this example isn't related, but what people don't realize that any kind of change in your life, chemistry, food, life style, hormones... (basically anything) can effect your hair. If you want to test this theory, when you are having a bad hair day, think about what you've eaten over the last 3-5 days. Likely you've been eating more junk than ussual. Again, that wasn't really answering your question, but like I said, any kind of change can and will effect your hair, skin, and nails. Enjoy the extra color while you've got it!

Maybe my hair will go back to its original condition...THERE!

After seeing the new comments here, I took a good look at my hair. It has gotten even darker! The only thing I can figure is the drastic change in diet when I was diagnosed has caused this. Before being diagnosed, I was a junk food junky. I'm, now eating foods I never I never ate with regularity as my main menue. Cutting out the chips and dip, candy, and sugary deserts must have changed my body chemistry. That's the only reason I can figure.

i aint getting no darker!! UNFAIR
