What Causes Yellow Discoloration Of Grey Hair On The Scalp?
My beautiful white shade of gray hair has begun to yellow in the last year. I do not color and have not changed shampoos- I have taken HCTZ for my blood pressure for years, but I started on Wellchol 625 last dec. for cholesterol as statins gave me problems. I am in a aerobic swim class, but do not get my hair wet. I am 65 and in good health. Any ideas?
