Can White Hair Turn Brown Again?
Why did my totally white hair, which I had for 8 years, begin to get color back. Over the last 4 years it has happened gradually and now my hair is about 1/4 brown. I am 76 years old. I have asked 3 dermatologists and none have been able to answer why. Can you? Will my hair continue to darken or will it return to my beautiful white color?
