Is it normal for a 50+ year old man NOT to have grey hair?

Or are they just pretending that they don't have it by dying it?Is it normal for a 50+ year old man NOT to have grey hair?
well i have some clients that have no grey at that age. if you see them all the time you should be able to tell. they can't hide it forever!Is it normal for a 50+ year old man NOT to have grey hair?
I have a 68 year old woman friend who has like 2 gray hairs, while some people go totally gray at 25.


It's normal for that person.


Sounds like you are more worried about whether he is a liar than if he has grey hair.
Yes it is possible. My grandmother started showing signs of grey hair when she was 70 and her head at 90 was partially black and white.
yeah i think so.. my math teacher is like 53 and his hair isn't gray. %26amp; i dont think he dyes it...
It's not very common, but every one's hair goes grey at different times. My mom went grey at 17, my dad around 50, and I've got some grey at 27. When a man dyes their hair, it's kind of easy to tell since most of them don't get it done at a salon.

What causes people to get grey hair?

And why do some get it at such a young age while others can *naturally* stay away from the grey hairs taking over till their 50's?What causes people to get grey hair?
There are cells at the base of the hair follicle that produce melanin, the same chemical/hormone/whatever that allows you to tan. The melan in the hair shaft is what gives its color. As we age, these cells produce less and less melanin. Without the melanin the hair appears white or grey. I assume the reason some people get grey hair so young is the same reason some people get wrinkles younger than others: environmental exposure to who knows what, genetics, etc. Hope this answered a little bit of your question.What causes people to get grey hair?
one thing is ageing! bcoz of that people get grey hair over till their 50's! and for people in young age - they do not eat the nutritional things necessary for really healthy and black and shiny hair! that is it! hmmm... some people say eating green chillies and red chillies makes ur hair really healthy,black and shiny and also lets the hair be grey after a real long time!
hey hiieee kate.......... the reasons for premature greyin of hair can be due to Faulty hair...mental worries and lack of vitamins....sometimes it can be hereditary.....or due to unclean condition of scalp.


sometimes the surrounding also matters the most...if u stay in a polluted area or so.....it equally affect the hair causing various problems such as greyin of hair.....hair breakage....dry hair.....and so on


some of the remedies that i can help u with can be: maintaining a nutrient rich diet....Aviod devitalizing foods, soft drinks etc.Massage your scalp with coconut based hair oil atleast thrice a week.....and Rub Indian gooseberry ( also known as Amla ) into the scalp regularly.

Dr. Aparna Santhanam (Dermatologist%26amp; hair specialist) will surely give u her expert tips for ur hair problem....!!!!
typically heredity and genes are the main factors as to why the hair greys when it does... but the actual process is you start losing the color melanin in your hair...leaving it empty..and when it empties..it leaves the hair looking grey with a slick, shiny, wirey, feel to it...
its a loss of the pigment melanin in the hair. its natural, everybody is different, so people grey at diff times. its natural and cant be avoided, but only covered up
It can be a combination of things.


Stress is a big key factor. Sometimes it's in your genes. If you want to get rid of gray hairs, go to a hair salon and have them dye your roots. =]
Age, worrying, stress - chemicals used in our hair and sometimes sickness or hereditary genes.
Grey hair is caused when the things in your hair that give it colour, die off and grey hair starts to grow.
The cells containing the pigment (i.e. the colour of any hair) slowly die as you get older, meaning that there is less colour until it turns completely gray.
-old age


-genetics
stress, genetics, and aging.
Genetics or Old Age.
I guess it's genetic. I'm 33 and have plenty.
your body stops producing the pigment that is needed for that hair color.
idk but when they get old they get grey hair.
children...children cause gray hair!!!
madness
Aliens. You never know who they are going to strike next.

Does pulling a grey hair from your scalp make you get even more grey hairs?

My dad seems to believe that's true. He just doesn't want to touch his small amount of grey hairs because he fears that he'll get an even larger amount of grey hairs.Does pulling a grey hair from your scalp make you get even more grey hairs?
Well, if you have a head full of gray hair, than the likelihood of you getting another gray hair is very possible. However, if the majority of your hair is blonde/brunette/red, than it is very unlikely you will grow another gray hair if you pull it out. The reason our hair is the color it is depends on a pigment in our cells called melanin. A lot of melanin gives a person brown hair, less melanin gives blonde hair, and a mixture of different concentrations of melanin produces red hair. No melanin equals gray hair. As a person gets older, melanin production in the body slows drastically, leaving a person with gray hair. However, due to gene defects, sometimes a young person may find a gray hair or two in his/her scalp. Sometimes stress can cause us to have gray hair too. But to answer your question, you are more likely to grow back a regular colored strand of hair than a gray hair though you may still find a gray hair every once in a while.Does pulling a grey hair from your scalp make you get even more grey hairs?
No, that is definately a myth. It has never beem proved, and isn't true.
NO!..but it will make you bald if you pull enuff of them!
That is a top question and I was wondering that myself..
It will only make him bald. Then he won't have to worry about his hair color.
yes it's true if you pull them out you will get many grey hairs my mother always pulled out her grey hairs now she constanly needs to paint her hair
No it is a lie.
no I don't think so

At what age did you find your first grey hair?

Be honest now!At what age did you find your first grey hair?
18 and it was hard for me.......At what age did you find your first grey hair?
I'm now 27 and I noticed my first grey hairs (yes,plural) when I reached 13! My mum had it young too but neither of my brothers or sisters have. It is to do with me being a 'born worrier'. I always wanted to protect my family even from far back as 6/7 years old and always worried about family paying bills and for siblings to get fairly treated even though I'm not the eldest. Ironically, my Mum and I are very similar people but she is the eldest of siblings.





My mum has told me it is hereditary but without the proof of my siblings, or family on Mum's side, having the same thing I think she is only trying to make me feel better.





Having the grey hair was a little alarming at first as I thought I had the one and then noticed dozens lurking underneath and were mostly on one side because when I delved deeper I noticed I had some on the other side too. Once the I got over the shock, I thought it was sooo cool. From there on I got more and I kept getting told by schoolmates (not friends) that I was a 'granny' and being told to dye it from friends and family but I always held my ground as it is what made and makes me unique - part of my Identity. I hardly had any on top of head and they never outbalanced my very dark hair but it was long and very noticeable.





Growing up was harder and I got more pressure to dye but did not cave. A few years ago an inadvertent result of me getting great hair with volume etc made it less noticeable i.e. it hid them and now I have colour in my hair so I hardly see them, which was not the intention when I went to get my hair done. I want them back to complement my hair but trying to tell the hairdresser to miss them is impractical.





I need not worry though as they will be back with a vengeance.
i haven't gotten one yet
i was 55 years old,then i started losing it.
none ... yet. my mom is 56 and doesn't have any yet so i'm guessing i'm not gonna have any for a while. :)
I was 5, it was on my fathers head.
I was 20 so 10 long years ago!
20

34 years young
not so worrying having a few grey on your head - not looking forwrd to grey pubes. When does this occur?
I was 25. am no 48, and have been dyeing my hair for years....... black, brown, highlighted, auburn, and now blonde.
18
Sadly somewhere in middle school I think it was because of my low copper levels
When I was 76 I found my first grey hair.
haven't yet! yay!
age 21. what a drag. it is hereditary in my dad's family to go grey prematurely early.
i haven't got one yet but a friend of mine got some at 12. my sister also got one at 14.
Well when I was born b/c its a family trait everyone in my family is born with a gray hair
I haven't found any in my hair, But my7 year old cousin has Grey hairs.

Why do we grow grey hair after a while? How does it lose it's color? What determines it's shade or whatever?

You know, like some blonde people go really white, and some brunette people have dark grey hair?Why do we grow grey hair after a while? How does it lose it's color? What determines it's shade or whatever?
The pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die as we age. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like gray, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray.





Melanin: pigment cells continuously produce a chemical called melanin that gives the growing shaft of hair its color of brown, blonde, red, and anything in between.Why do we grow grey hair after a while? How does it lose it's color? What determines it's shade or whatever?
Hair color is determined by the amount of pigmentation, among other things. So, as hair ages, along with your body, and starts to lose it's pigmentation, it starts to gray. But, since it was blonde to begin with, it already had a different amount of pigmentation than the brunette next door, so naturally, it will gray differently as well.
horomones.


that or it just senses your life is starting to fade so it does too

Will drinking a lot of carrot juice stop grey hair?

I'm 15 and have at least 25% of my head covered with white hairs..I usually dye it but I heard that drinking carrot juice would return the hair to its natural color, being black. Is this true? and how much would I need to drink to do this?Will drinking a lot of carrot juice stop grey hair?
Once your hair strands begin to turn gray then they stay like that forever. There isn't any natural or manufactured formula that will change it back to it's natural color. Genetics and stress are just two things that can cause graying - and you've pointed out that it's genetic. Just continue to dye it like you've been doing because that's the only thing you can do.Will drinking a lot of carrot juice stop grey hair?
hunni thats not true, your hair is white because the pigmantation has gone and nothing can bring that back. Dyeing it is your only option, but i would say you are a bit on the young side to be getting white hair, is it in patches clumped together?





Haha i totally got the wrong end of the stick there. Either way no carrot juice wont help with the colour of your hair ....... but i have heard that it makes you see in the dark!!





Ah i was right he was talking about going grey. It's very rare but there is a condition that causes you hair to go white in patches ( just cant think of the name...ah even if i could remember i'd never be able to spell it )





Yeah if you dad has it then it was always on the books that it could happen to you. They know why your hair goes grey ( no pigmentation ) but they no idea why some people stop producing it and other dont and at different stages in life.
I believe by white he means that after dying his hair (after bleaching it) his hair is white, but it should grow back as it's natural color.





And I would dismiss that as a stupid rumor.

Why do you get one grey hair every few months or so?

Im 24 and i get like one grey hair once in a while, it cant have grown it had to have just appeared! Im sure other people get it too i was just curious why that happens? TY!!Why do you get one grey hair every few months or so?
stress maybeWhy do you get one grey hair every few months or so?
Hair grows white when the color pigment (melanin) ceases to be produced in the hair follicle and small air spaces take its place. Check out http://useinfo-grayhair.blogspot.com/ for more info on gray hair.
