Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
A curiosity, I’ve realized that I’m not the only one that has had hair change color from light to dark, naturally. (well duh) I’m just wondering if anyone knows why or how this happens.
When I was born, I had sandy blonde hair, when I turned seven, it went jet black. These days if I get too much sun it is tinted a bit burgundy/reddish/light brown I just always thought it was odd. Only one of my uncles has light hair, and his children do as well, but for the rest of my family (both sides) it is all dark.

I've wondered that too. I had platinum hair, then it darkened up to brown, and now it's a lovely red to go with my pale freckle nosed irishness. Wierd.

Same here, platinum blonde until about age 12 then it darkened to a dirty blonde, i wish it would go back!
Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
I think it's because your bodys changing, due to hormones. Also, some women notice changes in the texture of their hair after having children.
Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
So true!
My hair was so fine and white when I was younger. It darkened up to a dirty blonde by the time I was 8 then turned light brown when I was 18. Very strange... I notice my hair is finally gettin thicker though. For someone with not too much hair that's a fantastic thing! ;)
Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
I had blond hair when I was younger, which then turned dark brown. Now my hair is dark blonde which I don't think looks right on me so I dye it very dark brown.
It just sucks because blond roots look worse on dark hair then dark roots do on blond hair.

I was born with strawberry blonde hair and had it up until I was 3 and then it just got darker and darker and now its a dark brown with natural red highlights from being outside in the sun.
Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
Natural. My hair has went to almost black to lighter brown. My mother used to be naturally platinum blonde and then it changed to dirty blond itself. Also, my husband AND my cousin used to have bright red hair, now its more like dirty blonde.

Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
I was born with really light strawberry blonde hair. When I was about 3 it went blonde and stayed that way for a while. It changed to a dirty blonde and I've been that (naturally anyway) ever since. I'll probably have brown hair when I'm older like my mom, she had the same color when she was my age and now has brown hair.
Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
Wish I knew. Both of my biological parents were white-blondes when they were young. My mother's hair turned a medium-dark brown after she had me, and my real dad's turned a medium brown over the years, after high school.
Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
Yup; I was a blonde until puberty and then became a brunette. Same as my mom and my sister.
Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
I had the same thing. My head glowed like the children of the corn until I was about 12, when it went to a sandy colour with golden tints. I don't know what colour you call that- dirty blonde I guess? I've been dying it since I was fifteen anyway, so now it's whatever colour I want it to be.
Re: Hair color changes naturally? light to dark?
My husband had light blonde hair as a child, by the time he hit high school it was a sandy brown then in his mid-late twenties it turned even darker to med-dark brown.
Me I was born with black, and mine lightened to light-med brown sometime before I turned 5 and school pics started.
