I don't mean going gray after having dark hair color, but more like being blonde or redheaded and your hair turning dark. My hair was always the same color, but sis was blonde until she was about 11 and it turned dark..one of my cousins had red hair until about the same age and it turned dark. My son had some blonde wisps until he was about 1. One of my nephews was blonde until about 4 or 5..My dad was blonde as a youngster..I could go on. What about you..natural hair color change ever happen to you?

I had fair hair until about the age of 10 or 11, and then it was shaved all off when I was 12 due to my surgery, and it came back straight and dark. Now it is quite wavy and sell a mix of salt and pepper.

My hair was lighter when I was younger, then just gradually got dark. Now it is dark with lots of gray. My dad was a "cotton top" as an infant, and as an adult his hair was dark brown almost black.

It is funny how that happens..it is just other dark pigments coming out I think. Babies have less of them typically.

That seems to be more common than staying blonde both my parents were like that, and my sister.

I was a blond child then my hair just got a dark brown, I colored it all sorts of colors as a teenager, Finally as an adult I settled for red hair. When I got to Florida I had to save money and stopped coloring my hair expecting it to become white like my grandmother had, Instead it has gone back to dark brown with a white patch on my bangs,

I had white blonde hair for quite awhile, and then it was mostly a regular blonde color. It’s darker now.

I was blonde until about age 13, when I hit puberty, then my hair went dark. My brother, who is 2 years younger than me, also had blonde hair, but his hair stayed blonde.
