Why is my hair changing color???

Both my brother and I have dark auburn hair. Lately though we've noticed that our hair is lightening to a more coppery reddish color and less of the brown. His beard to is completely red in spots but dark brown in others its quite strange.

Our mom had red hair before it turned gray and our dad has black brown hair (but his mom had red hair too). I'm 20 and my brother is 17.

It it normal for haircolor to just change like that?

I mean were not little anymore, and were both past the puberty thing and we haven't been out in the sun any more than we usually are. Also, we're both healthy and relatively stress free.

Anyone have an answer as to why this would happen to BOTH of us around the same time?

Maybe a change in the hardness of your water. Since your hair is lightening, probably a change from harder water to softer. Hard water leaves mineral deposits on hair that darken it.

It could also be genetic, my hair went from auburn to darker reddish brown at that age. Though water hardness was a factor in that too.

Hair generally darkens for a year or so before it turns gray, but that doesn't seem likely to be what's going on here.

Have you switched shampoos (maybe a new one removes old mineral deposits), bought a water softener, moved to a new area with softer water, done maintenance on a water softener in your home? Maybe even could be a change in your town's water if you live where you have town water.

Why is my hair changing color???

I think its probably in your genes. Like you said your mother had red hair. When I was younger I had natural bright blond hair then it started to turn brown now I am a total brunette.

I think its normal. I wouldnt worry about it.

and if you dont like the color you could always dye it :)

Do you swim alot? Hair color can change baecause your're in the water for too long. (clorine)!

Why is my hair changing color???

Hair color is the result of pigmentation due to the presence of the chemicals of melanin and phaeomelanin.

Human beings have many variations in hair color and hair texture. In general, the more melanin present, the darker the hair color; less melanin, the lighter the hair color. Usually the color of children's and adults' hair varies from pale yellow (blonde) to deep black. Hair may also come in more than one shade of color on one's head.

Considerable differences in hair color and texture exist between individuals of similar ethnicity, and immigration and global travel have greatly increased the diversity of hair characteristics in many countries......

more over the hair color may due to tensions and unnecessary burdens that make you restless and always make you think of samething....

the best remedy apply amla, fenugreek,take oil bath once a week

bleach out the color with hair lightener like ultra lightest blonde and then get your platium in a toner from miss clairol or one of those others .you can get them at a store called sally,s or where they sale them.

They have a product called drabber at Walmart. I always just washed my hair several times with a strong shampoo(be sure to condition)...and that removes a lot of color, which is different if you had bleached it. They have Clairol in grey colors now, too. If you use blonde , you should probably use a light ash blonde instead of platinum. Platinum on previously colored hair is just gonna turn it brassy.

the best thing to do is to go to a good salon which you can trust will do a good job....don't try to do corrective coloring like this at home, you'll end up with a bigger problem!

This is not an operation you should attempt at home. Trying to lighten without the knowledge of a colorist can result in orange or pink results. There is much more color theory involved in lighting hair, underlying pigment starts to come into play. I would suggest that you go to a good salon and get a weave. Remember color cannot lift color(hair school 101) meaning that if you have artificial hair color on your hair then you cannot lighten it without bleach. I have several clients that have made the same choice as yourself with a proper weave(foils or highlights) it can easily be achieved.

Okay here is the best way to get back to your natural grey, you will have to do highlights with no color, the highlights are going to piece by piece remove the color from the hair and depending on the shade that would like (where u said platinum the lightest shade of blonde) you would have to do a heavy foil then slowly but surely you will have no more brown and the blonde with camo your greys until your hair is all grey. Only let the stylist tone you with a P!! they should knwo what that is that way you don't have any brassy or golden tones it will be white. I actually have a client that is in the process of doing what I am explaining. She simply got sick of having to come in every 3-4 weeks for a root re-touch (in a medium brown shade) so she actually came up with the idea on her own to go the lightest shade of blonde on her hair to try to match up the grey roots with the highlights. Now she did admit she wasn't used to it at first so it took her a little while to adjust to blonde but now that the brown is almost gone she loves it. Now I don't know the length of your hair but her hair was at her shoulders but she took a few inches off so that she wouldn't have to wait real long to get all the brown out of the ends. Hope this helps good luck! p.s. you could always strip your hair but it i will be very damaging and try not to let them talk you in to bleaching out your whole head take it in steps so you don't ruin your hair!

Go to a professional! You don't want to damage your hair by putting too many chemicals into it. But yes it can be done.
