Gray hair?

[drivingdaisy]

I have found extra wavy black hairs in my brown hair, but I have always had them. If I look close enough at my hair, I can see red, blonde, black, and brown strands (along with my 3 gray strands).

Maybe they have always been there, but you didn't notice until you started looking harder for the grays?

I get those textured ones too, now and then, OMG we're all turning into flies?

What I am concerned about is that for the past year or so I have been finding these weird hairs randomly spread out on my head. They are black (my hair is a light reddish brown) and they are EXTREMELY thick and wiry. Is this just another form of going gray or is it something else? I have asked co-workers/family/friends and I have googled and I can't seem to find anything that matches what I am experiencing. I'm afraid that one day I will have a head full of hair like this. It's nothing like the white/gray I have or have seen on my mother.

I have been told that for some people with red hair it'll turn black before white/grey. Hubby has black hair but when he grew a beard it was red as soon as he turned 40 all that red beard is white. My poor son is 10 and has 40% white hair on his head....YIKES. No medical issues or deficiency. As much as he'd like hair on his head he has a skinfade done every 4 weeks so his classmates don't make fun of his white hair.

What is a Skinfade?

GET YOUR THYROID CHECKED. This is a sign of thyroid disease.
