Grey hair

> Hi there,> Is there any remedy for grey hair. I am 30 years old> and> because of a lot of grey hair I have, I seem to be 40> years old. I heard that some minerals can get your> black hair back. Is this correct?Hello,The answer to your question is NO!! Your hair turning gray is a natural processes. No pill is going to change what is already programed in your genes and your heritity. Thats like saying a person with blonde hair can take a pill and it will change to red. Not even Jane Jetson would have lived to see that!Please be wary of people (or things) that try and sell you the things. If it sounds to go to be true it probably is. Not only that but you can bet if someone could do this that it would be all over the place an widely none. Someone would be very very rich to say the least!Happy Heathy hair,Diane K.

> Thanks Kent for a very encouraging post on growing long gray hair. I have alot of gray for a 40 year old woman. I tried coloring it and it totally went against my lifestyle. For one thing I cannot be a slave to Clariol or any other box on the shelf. My hair grows fast and the roots start to show quickly. Soooo.. I opted for the natural state of things. I take care of my hair and keep it frenchbraided for most of the time. I plan to grow it to knee length. I do keep the front of my hair cut in some feathery bangs.. I feel this softens the effect of my graying hair. Thanks for some encouragement. As for the question of the original poster on anything you can take to bring back the natural color..if there were such a thing, surely it would have been marketed already. I have heard taking copper supplements reverses gray but I have never met anyone who this actually worked for. If it were true, copper would be the rage right now. I do take copper myself that is included in my multiple vitamins but the only thing I am getting is more gray hair!! One thing that kind of works for me is to use gel or in my case, I use Aveda's Phomollient. I smooth it through my hair and it tends to darken down the silver some... but not into oblivion!! ;-) take care and include me in the group who is opting for the natural look..Cher~I can understand your concern over the grey hair that> is appearing. Our culture tends to encourage a> youthful appearance and it is easy to fall victim to> that philosophy. You may feel like you are too young> for such an image, but don¹t fall victim to a mindset> that prevents you from using it to improve your> appearance.> My wife and I have some friends that we have known for> over 20 years.

It covers the grey but leaves it a shade lighter than the rest giving it a highlighted look. It washes out gradually and you're not a slave to color.
