I notice that usually the people who say things like "Grey hair is beautiful" are the ones who don't have any.
This is true 😅
I like to see older people with white hair, but thwir entire head is white/gray. I find it looks elegant on them. But I have gray hair here and there, and I don't like how it looks hahaha
Facts. 💯
Or they have the silver looking hair that usually go with black hair. I have dark brown hair, and I don't think it looks good. Looks mousy, and I look more washed out.
I say it looks beautiful and I have a lot of grey hair at 30. Had it since grade 8.
My beautiful kind mother who we lost last year at age 88 had a full head of hair with its original dark brown color with only a few stands of gray. She never colored it since it just never turned grey. She was a lifelong vegetarian. None sure if that made any difference. She was a remarkable woman. Love and miss you Mom ❤️
I am so sorry that you've lost your mother. The wonderful woman that she was, as you've said. 💋
@@Rottimail thank you so much
❤
My mum is that age. Jet black hair with very few greys. Eats meat, fish, all foods. Including deep fried stuff and lots of sweets. Has drunk wine all her life. Smoked for decades. Never exercised, let alone do any sport. She just won the gene lottery is my guess.
@@user-lq7pt2xn2q so happy to hear you still have her
I had a bunch of gray in my early 30's when I was working excessively, and struggling financially. I'm in my 40's now, with a good job and no debt. My hair color has restored itself. No pills needed. You just need to remove stress from you life. Not always an easy thing, I know.
Yup you're right
How many years it stayed gray?
Do u dye ur hair?
@@lamervrte1482 No
that's a bunch of nonsense
My sister-in-law had black hair, even though she was born blonde. By the time she was 24, she had her first grey hairs. By the time she was thirty, she colored it. Eventually, she got tired of it and just let it go fully grey-and it was beautiful, very silvery and sparkly! She has lovely pink undertones in her skin, sky blue eyes and a young, smooth face for her age (66). I think she looks just beautiful!
I have definitely personally seen gray hair get reversed. When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, I started getting a ton of grey hairs. I was only 41. I was so worried about her. After treatment, she entered remission. The cessation of the stress led to my gray hair slowly going away.
Maybe there's hope for me! My dad had Stage IV cancer twice, and now I am about 40% grey at 36. He's got to go 5 years without recurrence, and he's at 4 years now, so not quite in remission yet.
Correct. I left a similar comment regarding stress. I pulled them out and saw the hair strand itself reverse to the root...several inches.
@@MsCruisein Praying for you and your dad🙏👍
Same, I noticed a reversal when stressors in my life weren’t as intense
Amen! Happy for your mom!
My dad started taking astaxanthin supplements which are antioxidants and completely unexpectedly his gray hair began to turn dark again all over his whole head. When he stops taking those supplements his hair went back to gray. When he started taking them again it started to turn dark again. That was definitely surprising but undeniable unintended results
@dr.dray we need a video about astaxanthin, please! 🙏
I’m ordering it today then
My dad went on oxygen at the end of his life and his hair turned black again. It was incredible to see
@@DianneElizabeth64 oxygen?
do you know how much is he taking? 🙏🏻
My dad drank 2oz of aloe vera juice every night and reversed his gray hair back to dark brown within 6mos.
Really??? I’m desperate to try whatever it takes since I started getting some random greys and I’m only 30 lol
I decided not to fight the gray. Love the bright, glittery strands now!! Feels amazing and freeing.
so have I, best thing i ever did!!!!
I don’t dye my hair - my daughter calls my silvery highlights “moonlights” 😊
Same here, not fighting ageing. I get weirdly happy whenever I lose a white hair, it looks so beautiful and delicate, Elvish somehow... 👵💙
Me too!😊
Same, fellow silver sisters!
Finally, I controlled my white flakes on the scalp and hair fall.
First, Put on hair oil and let it for the night or for a minimum of 1 hour for it to work.
Secondly, Rinse it out with shampoo.
Next, Put on conditioner of your choice to the roots of your hair.
I used a mild and natural hair fall control kit by littleeextra cococonion for these steps as it's mild and natural, and is known gud for reducing hair loss.
Incase if you also have dandruff, apply lemon juice on your scalp minimum once a week prior to shampooing and wash it off about an hour later.
I'm half gray now because I stopped dying my hair almost 2 years ago now. I actually enjoy the white highlights in my hair and at age 59 was ready to give up the chemicals. I do have chronic iron deficient issues. Many people think women are "letting themselves go" when they decide to let their hair be natural but I actually think the opposite. By not slathering on hair dye chemicals I think we are taking better care of ourselves. The best thing I noticed is that within 5 months my hair thinning stopped and I started growing in hair in my temples and got thicker hair after not dying.
I've seen ads here on UA-cam for products that claim to 'reverse' gray hair. I used to color my hair, for many years in fact. During the beginning of lockdown, I decided to stop and let my natural color (gray and all) grow out. My hair is also naturally very dry/curly so discontinuing hair coloring was a good decision. My hair is in much better condition now and suffers less tangling. I feel freed from chasing that line of demarcation every 6 weeks! I also use a purple shampoo & conditioner every couple of weeks to brighten up the silver strands. 🙂
Gray is pretty imo
Hi Dr.Dray, in India, women apply mehendi or henna ( a natural dye ) to their hair to cover grey hair or to get shiny hair. Mehendi is made of natural herbs and you can make it yourself or buy it. After applying it, you get a nice brown colour. Henna is believed to be very beneficial for hair due to its anti fungal properties.
I've been dyeing my mousy brown with lots of white hair dark with plant based hair color for over a decade. I do a double dye, though. First at least an hour if pure henna and then 2-1/2 h of pure Indigo. It's super annoying, because it takes a full 1/2 day every three weeks (I hate having visible roots), but it looks amazing and my hair is strong and shiny.
@@raraavis7782 currently a natural brunette but have been finding gray strands randomly so not sure what’s to come. Thanks for sharing what you do although I don’t understand it fully as I haven’t colored. I feel I need a game plan ready to go if things change. I think I understand the first step but what’s indigo? It sounds like the color is good for your hair. I already have textured hair so anything that strengthens it and makes it soft is appealing.
I love the smell!
I love the henna color on my hair..but henna makes my hair fall..I feel a burning sensation when I use it and my hair becomes dry after a while.. even though at first looks really good
😢😢
My mother had almost black hair all her life and started going gray in her 40's. She dyed it dark for decades. Once she turned 70, which is when the pandemic hit, she let her hair grow out fully gray. She's never had more compliments about her hair in her whole life. It looks incredible on her. She now says she would've let it go gray decades ago had she knew how nice it would look.
It depends on the person, my mom looks 20 older when she let herself go grey during the pandemic. But she s in her mid 50’s!!
@@recuerdos2457 I agree, it depends on the person. People with sallow skin can look worse with grey hair, whereas people with rosy undertones can look good with it. People with very young looking skin can look good with it, too. I know I won’t look good with it because when i wear the color grey, it completely drains the color of my skin.
Many people have giving my mom compliments about her grey hair, too. And it never bothered her that she had grey hair. Even when she was really young. But for many people it can be really annoying. It is different if you are in your 50s or older, but if you start to get grey when you are in your 20s or 30s, it's really not cool.
Grey looks good on some skin colors
Me too ...I love mine...I'll get a itch to dye it
..annn be like noo...im good
When my grandpa turned 80 he started eating less and eating only food that he could easily digest like boiled vegetables, fish and chicken. His hair became black again and we were surprised to see him one day reading without glasses.
Thank God we have you to explain all these things to us. So many people out there trying to peddle things for money.
I have had this personally happen to me “ I was in a high stress situation and also dealing with gut issues and candida overgrowth . I had a huge gray area and it was cool looking at the time , but I knew my health was at risk , I stopped eating carbs and gluten and added some probiotics and also started eating organ meat and Amla caps my hair was coming back in black at the root ! My daughter was astonished , also low levels of copper can cause hair to gray . But I do think all these gray haired beauties are fabulous!!!
Where did you get the amla caps from?
What are good copper sources?
My mom went gray at 33. my brother had a grey streak in the front at 17, and I started going gray at 30. My other brother and sister held out til their 50's! I color my hair because I had very dark brown hair and didn't like it gray, it washed me out. My sister-in-law on the other hand was blonde and turned gray gradually and it looks beautiful and natural on her.
You have such a gift for teaching!
Dr Dray. What an interesting and informative video. This is the reason I listen to you all the time. Thanks again. ♥
Great to see a video on thsi topic which is not often discussed. I actually have had single hairs where you can see where they went white, but then returned to growing black again. Thought it was all stress, but could also be anemia.
I freed my grey at 62 and LOVE it. I am a ginger and my grey is kind of a natural blondish-greyish balyage vibe. I let it grow during the lockdown, got a great layered cut and it's wonderful (if I say so myself). ❤
I'm a ginger too and mine is like Christmas tinsel ❤
Most woman I know who have red hair turn a beautiful almost platinum white.
My mother was a red head and she grayed blonde
Lord Jesus, please protect us from gingers. Amen.
I started getting gray at 60. I started eating more red meat and butter and now five years later it’s still dark. And my eyebrows came back.
What do you mean your eyebrows came back? They were gray but turned dark after the meat and butter?
One of your BEST videos! Thank you!
Hello, I’m 61 and have decided it’s time to let my gray come in. I have talked it over with my hairdresser and it’s going to be a journey about a year with her help. We started last month lightning my color up. I just can’t justify anymore paying $185+ tip every six weeks. It’s time to let what God had given me to come in! 😊
go cold turkey, if ur hairdresser is lightening, toning whatever, it will not be much different than coloring it and there will be different colors as it grows in, unless u keep with the “lightening” just my opinion, i let it go cold turkey, took 2 years but it went by quickly, best thing i ever did
@@gigikc6503 In October it will be 2 years for me. I'm almost there and it has been the best thing for my hair. It grew in much thicker.
I second the "go cold turkey" with a little caveat or two. First, I did this, about 5 years ago, at age 52. Best decision ever. Yes, you'll have ombre hair at some point. You know what? I got COMPLIMENTS on the OMBRE HAIR! LOL. Never got compliments when I colored it. For the first several months just use a powder to cover the roots. Works a charm. Then as it grows out more, just wear hats if you don't care for that look, OR (what I did sometimes) use a wash-out color like the Roux Fanciful. Also works great.
I have the most gorgeous platinum hair now, with lovely dark lo-lights (also natural, I never color it.). It's also healthy and shiny, which it wasn't before. :)
@@womanofacertainage5892 Thank you for sharing your experiences and great tips.
@@gigikc6503 Same here. I would get a haircut every couple of months that took off 2-3" each visit until the faded, colored ends were gone. I have dark brown hair so the color faded to an unpleasant orange/peach shade. I bought blue shampoo & conditioner that helped tone down the orange cast. It helped make the ends more livable until I could cut it all off.
I stopped coloring my hair when I turned 50. I'm 63 now and my hair is mostly gray, white and silver. Just a little brown left in the back. I LOVE my hair now.
Interesting video! I’ve been totally white platinum gray since my early 40’s. As a child I was white platinum blonde, turning to regular blonde in my teens thru the 30’s then back to white platinum again lol. In my case it’s genetics but hair is hair and it’s easier to learn to love what you’ve got than stress over trying to achieve what one sees as perfection. Perfection is what we already are naturally and it makes us who we uniquely are. I’m 71 now and people have complimented my hair since my 50’s. So just love who we are and enjoy the ride! ❤
Your hair is growing so fast! Looks lovely.
Early greying runs in my family, with most of us having found our first grey in high school. I have my grandmother's senior photo from 1943, which she sent to my grandfather during the WWII. On the back, she writes "You can't tell from this photo, but my hair is going grey fast. I don't care. It makes me look dignified." I like that attitude! It has helped me embrace my silver strands.
My dad had lymphoma. He was cured. He lost all his hair...it grew back darker at 70. I've noticed after an accident I had banding on some strands... color, white back to color.
Thank you and as always you are brilliant with knowledge... It shows in your skin, hair and bright eyes. 🍃🌸
I really like how you reason and put things into perspective 👍
I’ll be 50 in 3 weeks and embraced my natural gray/white hair just over a year ago and couldn’t be happier. After dyeing it since I was 14 it’s a welcomed change. It’s softer thicker and just more beautiful than ever and the compliments keep coming
Better to go gray at 14 than go bald at 20.
I did this too like a year ago or more...love it!!!
@@19MarkDavidbetter to have neither
Me to love my silver hair.
Happy belated birthday!
Thank you! Understandable. I am 67 and color my hair because I have little gray. My problem has been hair lose due to losing lots of weight and stress from a bad and ultimately failed marriage. I like how you stress that no one should make you feel bad because of insensitive comments. Everyone should do what is right for them and leave others to live their life as they choose. Great advice for all aspects of society.
I envy your hair so much Dr. Dray. So full and wavy.
I have totally embrassed the Silver shine of my gray hair.
Thanks, Love ❤
Your hair is so beautiful. Looks so soft and shiny. Got my first greys in my early 20s. I would guess I'm maybe 40% grey now at 36. I dyed my hair for about 10 years, and fried it trying to cover it up. Don't like being grey.
I started finding a few random gray hairs in my late teens. I'm 35 now and have a couple grouped areas of gray hair. I don't mind too much and it can look kinda cool, it shimmers in the light
I was born with a lot of baby gray hairs and they have stayed around all my life. Now in my 40s, more gray hairs are showing up and to be honest I love them. I have no intention of covering them. I prefer to just care for my hair in whatever color it turns. I aspire to have hair like Storm from the X-Men 🤍 😊
They are pretty imo
@@DrDrayzday they really are. I love gray/white hair.
funny u say that, i have 4 grey streaks and my son says i look like a superhero!!
@@gigikc6503 That's so sweet! I agree with him. You look amazing. 😍
This topic is really dear to my heart. I have natural dark brown hair and I want to keep my hair color, but I'm starting to get quite a lot of gray hair at the age of 32. Some of my dark haired family members have went blonde because of the gray hair, so they are less visible. 😕
I absolutely second what Dr Dray said about reversal. I go through these cycles of falling/graying during stressful times and I get back to normal healthy hair later on.
How old are you
My mother went through Chemo treatments, some of the hairs around her forehead have come back black and curly, just like when she was a young girl. Very interesting, Dr. Dray
I’ve heard of this happening before!
I started getting gray hair during high school. My dad was gray by 21. For years I colored my hair (now 69), but during the Pandemic I decided to go natural. I've worn my hair short for years, so it didn't take long to lose the "line of demarcation." I actually love the gray but what I REALLY love is the $$ I save!!! And I get more compliments on my hair & light blue eyes now than I ever did before. Win/win!
IKR?!! I never got compliments when I colored my hair but I do now (with natural platinum hair.)
It’s the same as like⋯⋯ no one will comment someone young by saying ‘you look young’… but only if they think the person is old!!
Me too! I was mostly doing it because my wife wanted me to color it. I colored it brown for a few years but got tired of doing it. I turned 60 this year and just told her NO i'm not coloring my goatee and eyebrows and what else.? The hair on my arms.? LOL. So I quit. Seriously I think everyone could tell I was using color.... but I get more compliments on my natural gray / dark look than I ever did when it was brown. Also my gray hair is coming in thicker now. It is a real sense of freedom going all natural. I love it.
I’m graying early at the age of 27. To be honest, the thought of buying hair dye every month exhausts me so I have decided to just let it be. On the bright side, I’ll finally have highlights on my black hair 😊
Good morning Dr Dray! I don't have any gray hair yet but I agree with you that I think it looks beautiful! My grandmother-in-law has waist length white hair and I think it's so gorgeous.
Fascinating and that explains what happened to me.
At 26yo, I noticed a bunch of greys in my hair, I was sad because I love my natural hair colour and didn't want to have to dye it. I pulled them out with tweezers.😊
I actually never got more of them and I always wondered how? At 25yo, I was in a highly abusive relationship and under constant stress.
I never had such stress ever since and at 32yo, I still have zero greys and my hair reaches my waist. 😊
This is so interesting! I had one silver hair pop up around age 23 and no others til around 8 years later (during the height of COVID-19). I sometimes remove a few of them with tweezers and a couple have been brown at the roots. I'm still getting more grey hair though... and trying to regrow lost hair w/ Rogaine, etc so maybe any new growth is now hair that wants to be grey :)
I found my first grey hair at 26. I plucked it and kept it in a box! 😂 I’m 41 now and have a grey streak that is slowly expanding. I think grey is beautiful so I’ll be letting it grow in.
Such great information. Thank you so much.
I LOVE GRAY HAIR! I’m 43 and I stopped dying and highlighting my hair in 2017. I’ve barely gotten any grays. It’s really annoying. I’m just happy I HAVE hair 💜💜💜
I was in a stressful work situation for a couple years (20-22) and I start growing gray hairs rapidly. I'm out of it now, gray hairs are still growing, but my husband found a strand this weekend that was gray on the bottom half and dark brown on the top half growing from my scalp. I was confused lol and thanks to this video, I now understand that it HAD to be the stress I was under. Thanks for this info Dr. Dray!
Yes! The same happened to me. Half white and half brown hair, the growing hair got its colour back. I definitely had a stressful event that caused it.
bcuz the hair follicle was dying. it started out dark but as the follicle dies the hair loses it's color. once that happens, when u cut your hair it will then grow back completely grey/gray. unless it was from a nutrient (copper) deficiency. when we're under stress our hormones and body's digestive system gets thrown out of whack and we can become nutrient deficient in a few areas or a lot.
I found my first grey hair when I was 23 years old in the midst of a very lengthy stressful life event. I watched more and more appear in the same area of my head until age 29. At 29, I found my first hair that started growing brown again. Then found several more. Some are even grey-brown-grey-brown down the same strand. Not sure if it was stress or a nutritional deficiency yet, but I saved the hairs in a zip bag to remind myself that’s it’s possible to grow them brown again. 😅 Though I’m also excited to have a head full of grey hair when the time comes. 👩🏻🦳
That's actually cool! Good idea saving them
Thank you for this video!
Speaking of hair, yours looks fantastic. Color and cut are wonderful.
At 65 I’m finally letting my gray grow out. In hindsight, I wish I’d never colored it. It would have saved me a lot of money and I’m actually loving it!!
I started getting gray in my mid thirties but just a few here and there. I started noticing a lot more in my 40's and started coloring my hair at that time and am still coloring to this day. While I think that in some ways it would be so freeing to just stop coloring and embrace the gray, I'm not quite ready yet. Thanks for the interesting topic today. Happy Friday, Dr Dray! I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a fantastic and fun weekend! ❤
🙏🕊❤️🐈🐈🐈🕊🙏
Great discussion. ❤
You really are well knowledged Dr. I love watching your videos because I know that you’re based off the facts.. Thank you pretty lady. Your beauty is so natural.❤
Also figure out ways to destress your life (as an adult, obviously!) I started going gray as a teenager growing up in an ACE/ACES environment. Now that I'm in my 40s have finally started dealing with the emotional / physical ramifications of that but hair is a big part of feeling good. I just started dying my gray hairs hot pink - the pink covers the gray and looks fun so when I look at it, I find enjoyment and doesn't look like I'm trying to dye it to look younger. The dye also conditions my hair and makes it so soft and shiny.
What is ace
Do you use Manic Panic for the pink, or another brand?
Hi Dr Dray so excited to be here happy Friday I live for this ❤️
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Friday😀👍💜….
Happy Friday
@@whitneybrown4067 happy Friday Whitney 👍
Thank you as always for all of your great information.
Thank you for the explanation.
My hair finally turned silver in my 70s and I love it. My mom, sister and daughters all went white in their 40s. My daughters color their hair.
I've had gray hair since I was four years old. It worsened during my teenage years and once I turned 18 , I spoke with my doctor and he (an elderly man) told me that it was because I was "old". Sure, we are always aging, but I got rid of him because he acted though something was wrong with me after I showed him that some strands were alternating between gray and dark brown while other gray strands had dark brown roots (in retrospect, he simply didn't have an answer). During my pregnancy, I lost color, which slowly returned after my child was born. I went through extreme stress, and a different part of my hair turned gray. I was recently diagnosed with extremely low iron, which was found three years ago and is finally being address (the doctor failed to inform me), low B12 (not the first time), low vitamin D, so I am working on it. Half of my bangs are currently gray and the short hairs at the front of my scalp ("baby hairs") are starting to turn black, again. My point? I have been reversing gray hair all of my life...without those scammer pills. I agree with Dr. Dray, skip the supplements and ask your doctor to check for vitamin deficiencies before wasting money on unknown supplements.
Dr Dray, this is absolutely fascinating. I dealt with this when I got long covid
How did you recover from long COVID? My nephew has it and can't drive due to vertigo. He also has trouble breathing and heart palpitations.
Genetics: My father's mother had only a few grays at 72. My father had black hair through his mid 80's. It took his late 80's before he had more gray than black. He passed at 90 and still had some black hair. My Mom also had her brown hair through her 80's and passed at age 90 with more brown than gray. They lived through the Great Depression and WWII. My Dad was a disabled Vet from WWII. He had a chronic lung condition from untreated pneumonia developed during the war.He always looked younger than his age. Dad had Italian background and Mom Irish. Mom had trauma of being orphaned as a child and her brother killed at age 19 in WWII and her step dad drowning and her step mom widowed. Dad easy going/ Mom more high strung. Both loving and family oriented. My brother and I are in our 70's and both have some gray. Just anecdotal. All colors are beautiful! Thanks Doctor! Love all your information!
Happy Friday ! Dr Dray is my favorite UA-camr!
Happy Friday
Oh Lord please give me good news Dr. Dray 😭! My mom and dad are both gray and it happened in their early 20’s. I’m 35 now and it’s getting OUT OF CONTROL! It’s depressing 😩! Going every 6 weeks for root coverage isn’t even soon enough.. they’re back in like the second week 😭😭😭😭😭!!! I have black hair so it’s so obvious and not hidden as well as someone who has blonde hair. I’m already self-conscious with getting older, and the gray hair doesn’t help.. it just makes me feel worse. I’m severely anemic and I had to have a hysterectomy five weeks ago.. so I’m hoping, praying, and wishing that once my iron levels goes back to normal hopefully it’ll help my hair 😅!
😭This is the reason I got highlights, but that’s so damaging for the hair😭
I’m using Hair Mayraki Anti-Grey treatment now, which works amazing. Might be worth looking into. It did make my hair darker, but since yours is black I suspect that’s not a problem for you. Wait for a discount though, they have that a lot!
Let your natural hair grow in --I bet it's gorgeous!
@@karinvancaspel oh yes I’ll look into it! Thank you 💗!
@@womanofacertainage5892 I just can’t 😭.. I already feel so self conscious about aging as it is.. and I’m not one to wear makeup everyday.. I feel like I would just look so haggard if I didn’t continue dying it. I’m just not ready yet 😪. I’m literally going to get my hair colored this Tuesday 🤣.
Good information Dr. Dray!
I love my gray hair 💞 stopped coloring at 50! I'd never go back to dying, chemicals, mess, time, no way! 🌹
This explains so much. I have a few strands of hair that are black then blonde then black and it freaked me out. I started putting a rinse over it but it never really took. I will address it with my doctor and keep an eye out for it.
Was hoping to learn more about the ingredients in the anti-gray supplements such as catalase, etc and how they proclaim to reverse graying
I started graying at 18 and colored for 30 years. After I turned 50, I decided to let it fly and I love it now. Mostly grey at the front which fades into dark brown at the nape. Can't get that from a bottle. My grandfather was white haired by age 25 so there is no fighting it. Plus the senior discounts come I handy 😊
So glad you made the video. This answered my questions about how finding a few strands of hair that had a 2” band of white hair within a 12-14” strand in my 30’s.
It is amazing how differently you're perceived once you go grey. I used to pass for being younger than my years, but having let my hair go grey, I started getting offered seats on the bus! Still, I don't choose to mess with hair dye because it really doesn't stay ash toned and requires a great deal of expensive upkeep. So grey pride it is.
oh yeas! 'cool' brown tones are so difficult to achieve!
I could not wait to go "silver". I just felt it would look good with my coloring. I get way more compliments about my hair now than I ever did when I had the auburn hair I was born with. Strangely, more men than women give me the compliments.
You're like a breath of fresh air here, everyone else is complaining about how much they hate their gray hair, I would too, because I associate gray hair with old/elderly people in nursing homes some where, I'm a senior who loves my "Silver" crown, I use certain shampoos to make sure it retains it's texture and color as opposed to that yellowish tint I see on some seniors......🌹
I was born with a patch of grey hair. It went away and came back when I was a teenager. By 20 I was coloring my hair. I have lupus so I wonder if it has to do anything with that. With the Covid I got really sick and I got tellogen effluvium. I stop coloring my hair. I am actually enjoying the grays and not to have to color my hair. I had low vitamin D, anemia, low ferritin and a long list of health issues cause by the lupus. I am owning my grays. I guess after losing almost 70% of my hair I feel grateful I still have hair.
Love you DrDray..
I have been thinking about this stuff recently..
I’m 35 and my dad was fully 100% white by his early 40s. I’m probably 10% grey and I’m planning to rock my long shimmering mermaid hairs
I’m 24 and I have gray hairs. Unfortunately, my family went gray prematurely, so I didn’t luck out. It does make me insecure (I dye the roots, but still), but always good to remind myself that gray hair is normal.
Yes! And because everyone is dyeing it, it seems not to be normal… But it really is!
Allegedly Andy Warhol dyed his hair grey because it made him look younger. Since people assumed, that his grey hair meant he was older than he really was, he always looked "very young for his age". There are things to be said about him, but he might have had a point with that theory.
@@bugsandbrushesoesn’t everyone dye their hair to make themselves look younger? He’s not unique
Wow the picture in your thumb nail with gray hair looks great when you go gray it will look beautiful 🤩
Your hair looks really pretty! Love this length on you.
thanks
This explains my thinning and gray hair. I had food allergies that didn't upset my stomach, so my body was swollen (inflammation), some vitamin deficiencies and undiagnosed adhd, so I was stressed out all the time and have trouble sleeping, so my hair sucks... I'm going bald, I went gray in my 30's... I've been able to fix a lot of the issues and got that red-light helmet you also recommended and my hair has thickened up. I still have a lot of gray, but I still struggle to sleep enough. Anyways, I think it all matters.
Whatttt this is exactly my story..i am 29, .got diagnosed this year with adhd..have all the issues that you mentioned
So informative! Thank you. My father was treated with arsenic for acne and his hair turned grey by the time he was twenty.
For the past month I’ve been watching your videos and I really appreciate how you discuss everything thank you so much I’ve had gray hair a Eight months ago and for some reason I don’t see it anymore my stress level has been completely down and I’ve been exercising and I’m wondering if that’s a reason now I’m eating properly thank you so much for your videos you’re amazing
Your hair looks great in today!
I love my natural salt & pepper. I get so many compliments and it actually looks so much better than dyeing. I don't think I'd go back to my dark hair at this point, even if it was an option.
omg I’m 29 and I’m greying quite aggressively. thank you for this!
Thanks for watching
Thank you for mentioning the Enteric Nervous System./ the mitochondria and micronutrients. Our hair, skin and nails tell a lot about what's going on inside our bodies without question. Greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for the information❤
Okay but Dr Dray looks bomb with gray hair on the thumbnail!
I went gray when I was 18 due to being anorexic. 😢 I color my hair still to this day and I’m 33 and very healthy now!
I earned EVERY WISDOM HIGHLIGHT I HAVE! I LOVE LIFE ORGANICALLY!
I love my newly found hair tinsel. I’m keeping mine thanks!
Yes…it happened to me. My hair is a natural dark brown. It started greying in my late 20’s. Totally silver by my late 50’s. I colored it all along until 5 years ago. Let it go. I loved the silver and so did many people. In the past few years, in my mid 60’s, I started to take minerals, electrolytes (iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium,etc) and other nutrients for health reasons, and my hair began to turn dark brown again. Many of the silver hairs fell out, and most new growth is very dark. To the point that I wish it would stop! I miss the silver😫
Wow, that’s incredible . Which electrolyte and which brand of iron, zinc etc? What did you use exactly please? Xx
@@melizhamdan3411She will never answer this question because it didn’t happen.
@@stevef.8708 she did answer it
@@stevef.8708 I agree
i went gray rather quickly before turning 30 (around 28-29). chronic stress, inconsistent diet, inconsistent sleep, tons of coffee, frequent viral infections during grad school turned me gray. I thought it would reverse after I remove myself from the stressful situation but it unfortunately never went back to being colored. Now I am 34, my life continued being stressful and my hair is progressively getting whiter. I am approx. 60% gray already.
Same here 🤗 .
I'm turning 'white' .
I hope grad school worked out, since you paid a high price somewhat
Yea this life inside the system is stressful. We are all aging early
@@matilda4406 It mostly did, thank you :)

Vitamin deficiencies that can cause grey hair - b12, folate, calcium , iron , vitamin D.
Hello Dr Dray. I have been miss you. Work has been getting in the way of your 11:00 am appt.
Thank you for this video.❤❤❤
I think you can , I have a few grays who are now back to black at the root. Now I have gray streaks in the middle of my hair strands which looks pretty nice. I know for a fact that it was an increase of vitamin b12 intake in my diet. I would recommend getting lab work done
My mom was a redhead and never really went grey even though she lived to 87. Just a bit at the temples. I am 60 and still have a lot of my natural color, but it's graying now pretty quickly
I noticed a few gray hairs shortly before my wedding at age 26. I didn't much care but started plucking until I noticed more and more in a particular area and didn't want a bald patch or to thin out my already not-dense hair, so I stopped. My not-biologically-related aunt went gray in high school and only stopped dying it during COVID in her late 60s/early 70s. She advised not to start dying it, not that I had any intention to. A few strands certainly don't bother me; it hasn't gotten a much worse in the last 9 years.
I very good friend of mine, who had straight black hair, underwent chemotherapy and all his hair fell out. When it was growing out again, it came out pure white. But that was only for maybe 4mm. It became solid black with white ends. It was really cool looking, and also unbelievable to me (literally, if I hadn't seen the progression)!
