Michael - I like your new signature - I can identify with that animation!

How do you put animated cartoons into a signature? Is it via a URL or something?

My understanding was that grey hair is less likely to fall out, hence, when you go grey overnight it is because all your coloured hair has fallen out, while your grey hair is all that remains.

Cause of grey hair
« Reply #28 on: 14/06/2011 23:44:02 »
Hi Chimera,
There are a number of causes why hair colour goes grey.  It is mainly down to age.  As we get older the pigment cells in the follicle start to produce less pigment.  The pigment is what makes the hair colour the colour it is.  A number of things can turn hair colors prematurely.  This can be down to stress, smoking, drugs, alcohol and a poor diet.  Improve these factors and it’s less likely your hair will grey earlier.

For people with blonde hair it’s easy hiding those grey hairs with a grey hair treatment.  Highlighting hair is usually the best option for blondes to hide their greys.   For people with darker hair it’s much more difficult to hide.  I found this site useful for my grey hair dye: spam deleted

Thanks for your time
