I am 35, and I haven't found any grey hairs yet, other than a few that appeared during my last pregnancy, when I was 30. My hair is medium brown, but each strand is typically striped with brown, red, or blonde. My hair is not straight--it's kind of wavy and fluffy. A little while ago, while looking in the bathroom mirror, I noticed the end of one of my curls looked silvery white. I pulled it out to get a better look, and it does look like the bottom couple of inches are white. I think I might have a couple more of these too.
Is this normal? I thought grey hair grew from the scalp ... can a previously pigmented strand of hair go white beginning at the bottom?
This could be from being exposed to a few days of intense sun shine a few months ago. You probably wouldn't have noticed at the time, but the color would damaged enough that it gradually faded. Are the affected curls in an area that hasn't been cut lately?
I sometimes find a hair or two that is silver/white on the end half and coal black at the root half. I have dark blond/light brown hair! Weird: I joke that I'm becoming Cruella DeVille

I was wondering about this too. I am 33 and there is one section of my hair that is only gray at the ends. I don't spend a lot of time in the sun so that's not it. I didn't think this was possible; I thought either the whole strand is your normal color or it's gray. Sorry, I have no information for you other than I have the same hair issue!
I'm 22 and I have the same issue. Half my hair has done the same thing in the last two weeks. I'm not out in the sun much so its not sun bleached and my hair was just cut a little over a month ago so I don't have split/damaged ends. I asked my beautician what causes this and she said she doesn't know.
this is not going to help anyone, but just wondering if anybody was dieting during this happening to them?I was taking phentermine and working out every night. I lost 50 pounds and then plateaud. So I doubled my workout and within 2 weeks, I started losing all my muscles, my ends of my hair turned gray, my hair dried out and started breaking off and falling out. still falling out by the way. I read on the internet that malnutrition can cause you to lose pigment in your hair and it appears gray.so I'm just curious if anybody else dieting? And do any of you have autoimmune disorders? such as lupus, RA, MS?thanks for any input!

Grey hair grows from the strand not the scalp as so they say. The end of my hair grew red and I cut it and it grew back red. Funny because only the end of a few strands kept doing that. Maybe in your case you are just going gray.
I was wondering the same thing. I see it in my hair, but most noticeably I see it (embarrassingly enough) in my eyebrow and nose hair.
The tip will be white, but the root will be brown/black.
The extent of the greying has increased as I have gotten older, and I have even noticed at times that my hair has gotten more or less grey from time to time. I do not know what may be causing this. Every time I look online, I see more ads for hair dye than answers to hair why!
