Former towheads........

Lots of kids start out as blondes or towheads, and eventually their hair turns dark. At what age did you (or your childrens) hair start to become darker?

:nono: were you kicked in the head a lot as a child?

Main Entry: tow·head
Pronunciation: \ˈtō-ˌhed\

I was born with dark hair. Completely blonde by 1st birthday, dirty blonde by 4-5 and brunette by 1st grade.

Daughter was bald as a baby. Completely blonde from first sprouts of hair on through middle school. She's a freshman in high school this year and has finally lost her natural blonde highlights.

My brothers are both still blonde and they're 15 and 23.

My hair was always dirty-blonde, but turned very very dark after my son was born. His was very dark when he was born and it ended up being dirty blonde by about the 6 month mark.

Mine started to change when I was 8 or so and I was a redhead by the 6th grade. Youngest son was about 6.

Mine was completely black when I was born. Lost it and it came back in as blonde. Stayed that way until my 20's when it turned a mousy light brown.

I had never heard the expression "towhead" until about 6 months ago when a fellow co-worker said my 3 year old son was a towhead. Although the picture she was refering to did make it look as though my son had white hair, he really is just blonde.
Anyway, my hair was very blonde until i was about 4 and then it darkened and I have had dark brown hair ever since.

My son was born with a full head of white hair. Now, at 2, it is platinum but I am starting to notice a few darker hair strands growing in here and there when I look up close.

My daughter was bald at birth but it came in blonde. It is started to darken a bit. Now at 4 it is dark dirty blonde/lightest brown with lighter blonde highlights.

My hair was really light blonde. It started getting darker when I hit my 30's. Now I don't know what color it is naturally. :lol: My sister's hair is the same way.

Now my brother, on the other hand, was a real toe-head. His hair was really blonde (almost white) as a kid. Now that he's older, his hair is much thinner than it was, but it's still the same color. :truetoehead:

I remember you having really really white hair. I could never decide who had lighter hair - you or my brother. :lol:
