Cause For Hair Turning Blue?

My friend has gray hair but is growing in blue. I was a hairdresser in 50 s and never heard of this. She lost her husband a yr. ago. Would stress be causing her hair to come in blue? It is so blue I thought it was a rinse but not. She is really unhappy and doesn t know what to do. Being as I have computer, trying to help.

Hello,

It could be a precursor stage of greying.
As first-line management, you can take zinc containing multivitamins for symptomatic relief.
If colour persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
