Once the root of a hair turns gray, does the part that's grown out before lose its color?

My husband is a barber, and he says no, but I disagree. Just because hair is his job does not mean he's always right about it! :)

hate to say, but i dont think that hair that has already grown out will lose its color just because the roots are gray. hair is basically dead skin cells so if their brown, they most likely wont change color. it might happen, but it doesnt seem to hold true in real life cases, usually people have white or gray hair because its growing out in that color.

i'm with your husband. it's just like growing out a color. you have the natural color at the root %26amp; the dyed color towards the end.

My mom is a hairdresser and I asked...

NO! The hair grown that color from the root out... the rest of the hair does not "take" on that color.

Your husband is right.... but with that answer, I don't think I'll get your vote for Best Answer :-)

He is right, but maybe, just maybe ....you can catch him saying something wrong soon!!lol That will be one early Christmas gift, huh?? Oh, and make sure he doesn't know about all these answers to only prove him right and let him say, "told ya so!!"

No, hair is dead except for right at the root. For example, when people have a deficiency in a certain mineral/vitamin they can develop ridges in their fingernails. The ridges only form when the deficiency is present, and then as the body receives proper nutrients, the nail grows normally (so one ridge could form during a time of poor health but it wouldn't cause the whole nail to be filled with ridges unless the person was unhealthy for a long period of time)

Sorry I went off on a tangent there.

No, once your hair is a color your hair is a color.

only the new hair(starting out of the roots) will change color.....the non-gray hair is technically dead and will not change color unless you dye it
