Truth is -- to date, there are a few theories about gray hair & graying, but still no real firm answers for the how, what, and when one will gray.

Consider yourself lucky, especially as a natural red head. Ginger, copper of Irish setter -- which ever shade of red you are...there are loads of women who'd just "dye" (get it) for what you have naturally.
