[quote name='ITDEFX']ok..so i am not alone on this one..phew...seems the genetics are the cause :| but can anyone explain the red hair thing? My doctor said certain water/shampoos will cause that..ok I can understand that, but shouldn't that effect like more than one stran????[/QUOTE]
Your hair is constantly changing as you get older. When I was small I had wavy/close to curly hair that slowly straightened out. It only gets wavy now when it's long-long. In high, when I started growing my beard out, the whole thing was bright red with a dark red stripe that ran down the middle of my chin. My beard has now turned brown with the stripe simply being a slightly darker brown.
I get gray hairs here and there. Jenn cracks jokes all the time about it, but on my 23rd birthday, I was driving through a cemetery (memorial day weekend) and she yanked one out that hurt like hell. Sure enough it was was silver/white. I got so pissed.
My mom's grandfather, who I supposedly like exactly alike, had a silver head of hair when he was 30. I'm gonna be so pissed.
And yes, the baldness gene is passed through the mom. If your grandfather on your mother's side was bald or so on, then theres a possibility...
