I was a towhead, which means I was born blonde and it turned to brown as I got older. When I first started noticing my hair turning darker, I asked my mom why and she told me it was because I ate too much peanut butter. I stopped eating it for about a week until I decided that I loved peanut butter more than being a blonde.

Wow didn't know there was a name for it. That's happening for many or most Germans.

Hello, fellow towhead!

Thing is, while in every picture of me of a child I'm shockingly blonde, and every picture of me as a teen and thereafter I'm brown, I have no memory of the actual change, and no pictures where I'm in-between. Does it happen quickly? Did it hurt so badly that I've suppressed the memory‽

It's a warlock curse, cast on you as you sleep one night.

I have a few old photos were my hair looks basically striped. You can see it well when the hair is worn in a ponytail.
