To say that quitting alcohol reversed my greys?

[RobertTheDoggert]

I know it sounds impossible but I swear it happened to me.

4/5 years ago, when I was in my early 30s, I started getting a few greys. Over the course of a couple of years they went from one grey hair to maybe 15/20.

Then I quit alcohol. Over the course of the following couple of years, all my greys disappeared. Now I am in my late 30s and I have zero grey hair. The only lifestyle change I made was quitting alcohol.

I am not sure how it is even possible but I am the living proof that this can somehow happen

Or the 20 grey hairs naturally shed, along with hundreds more? Well done for getting healthy anyway 🙂

Interesting. B12 deficiency can cause premature greying, and b12 is heavily used in processing alcohol when you drink - maybe that's a reason why?

Also early 30s, I didn’t get any greys (well mine are white) until I quit drinking. Then they all popped up at once. I still get ID’d though which is weird…

Correlation doesn’t equal causation.

Otherwise I could say my grey hair is caused by taking up Scottish dancing as it began growing in when I took up the hobby.

Isn't hair itself dead? So it is ghost hair?

That's me sorted for Halloween. I'll be ghost head

I didn't get grey hairs until I stopped drinking, so therefore, drinking prevents them!

I quit alcohol a couple of years ago but sadly my hair is as grey as ever!

I had a long break from alcohol. My greys multiplied in that time.
