Title: Hair Color Change on HRT?
Post by: Penny Gurl on November 20, 2012, 05:43:11 PM
Ok all, so I've been on HRT for a little over six months.  I have noticed some positive changes and one that is slightly perplexing.  My hair (on my head) is a very dark brown, almost looks black.  Now I was noticing near my roots the color seems to be changing and getting lighter, in some places a lighter brown and in others almost shifting towards red.  I have also gotten some regrowth in the thinning temples (yay) but those little hairs are still too small to judge what final color they will be.  Has anyone else had a shift in hair color while on HRT?

Yeah, my hair got lighter in color as well. Used to be dark brown. Now it's more, actually exactly like my moms hair.
