Minoxidil And Less Grey Hair? Indeed... Maybe

[yetti]

This is kinda interesting. I've seen it occasionally mentioned here, as an aside, that minoxidil seemed to stop hair from greying or even restore normal color. And I've noticed it myself, in my own hair. So... its mentioned in the 2nd to last paragraph here. Seems like the idea has real merit.

I am experiencing more grey hairs on minoxidil actually :/ I had a couple of grey hairs at each side of my head that never increased in count or anything for a few years, only last month I found out that on my left temple there are like 6 grey hairs that weren't there before, and now these few days I've noticed 2 grey hairs at my hairline :S maybe it's not minoxidil and I just have premature greying or something, my dad gave me the sucky genes of hair loss and I think he might have given me greying hair too and it kind of coincidentally appeared with minoxidil use

I get less grey

i actually found several hairs grey growing out brown which is wild.

Its interesting and have no clue what it means.

I dont have a lot of grays yet but enough to stay on top of coloring my hair regularly..

since treating my hair i get my color done less often. this is also aided by the non stripping shampoo i am using.

Ya, same here, also seems like my greying process stopped or even possibly reversed a little. Definitely sounds like it could be this -

Unfortunately, there are no medications approved to restore hair color, though in early testing of the anti-hair-loss drug minoxidil, Dr. Bergfeld said that she and other researchers noticed the drug sometimes also restored hair color, suggesting it was rejuvenating the melanocytes.

Nice side benefit if true. Who knows maybe it'll kick in for you too nano?

It also somewhat proves I am a good responder...sometimes I am not sure as some areas did not fill in as I would have liked but may have been minimizing too long.
