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?

@snowy22315 i am glad i am not the only one cause, many times i thought this happened only to me. my estranged sister, for example, was a dark brunette and stayed like that.

I need blonde dye so my hair could be a bit dark brownish.
If we want lighter color, we need to bleach the hair.
I haven't try that

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.

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,

My hair color has most of my adult life black even though I do have white facial hair due to the aging process.
