Strange, me my younger brother and father had light brown hair,older brother was blond, mother slightly red.

Now at 58 I'm going blond, is this normal or? Sign of something else, gray at the sides blond on top.

Looks great but worry it's a medical condition @Sheryl

One of the many facts about redheads is that their hair will never turn grey.

All natural hair colors—whether black, brown, blonde, red, or anything in between—eventually go grey or white over time. This is a universal biological process driven by changes in pigment production.

 

I was fortunate in that mine went silver.

Perfectly normal.  You lose IQ as you age.  By your mid-70s, you'll have long blond hair.

Though there are medications which could have an impact on your hair color, the most likely reason is your hair is going to become gray. On that way colors could slightly change sometimes.

I finally realized that going bald was going to work for me.

No more wasted time every morning when getting dressed.

No more bad haircuts.

No more having to carry a comb to look neat.

Once a week, I machine-cut the stuff left around the edges. Done.
Life made simple by Male Pattern Baldness.  🙂

Totally normal, but rare, as recessive genes has this happen. Melanin production goes down, blonde hair comes out.

I started going bald basically staring at puberty. Once the short and curlies started coming out so did my hair. Having said this it was a long slow process so no real shock. Not like some who wake up with clumps of hair on the pillow.

You see lots of grey Thais. Not many of them are ginger. 🙂

 

Usually people with jet black hair will go grey, often retaining their black eyebrows

I know guys who was fiery orange in their 20's and 30's. Not in their 60's they are white

Strong UV  often turns the hair into blond.

And looks like it is shat happening to you, too.

Really?  My sister had brown hair and hers went white - very white - in her late sixties.

Sorry, I’d have the hair or the eyebrows colored to match, to whatever color the cute Thai beauty shop lady says will look good on me.
