Gray hair often increases gradually with age. If the change is sudden and accompanied by other symptoms, do not rely only on coloring to hide it.

01
Observe whether the change continues
Record the same parting under similar light for a period of time so hairstyle, lighting or visible new growth is not mistaken for a sudden change.
02
Look for other signs
If the change comes with marked hair loss, scalp problems, fatigue or other symptoms, consult a dermatologist or appropriate medical professional.
03
Do not self-treat with unverified remedies
Gray hair has many possible influences. Supplements, topical remedies and rapid re-pigmentation claims should not replace professional assessment. Hair color changes appearance; it is not diagnosis or treatment.
