when did jimmy's hair go suddenly white?

[Iriquidian]

I could give a flip if jimmy's hair was dyed purple the next time he plays a zeppelin concert.

however, if he was dying his hair black, all the dyed hair from the root would have to grow out, then cut, and then the white hair would grow in, which all takes alot of time, and I always follow jimmy's press clips, and he had black hair, and suddenly....poof one day he became the wizzard

do any of you unlimited banks of infinite zeppelin knowledge know when the last photo/video of jimmy is with black hair, and the first with white?

I think the first time I saw his new hair was recently at the bootleg court case he testified at in Scotland

I mean is it possible I'll wake up in the morning and my hair will look like jimmy's????

how cool!!!!!!!!!! he he he

The first time I happened to see him with white hair was for the court case. I always found it odd he'd make an appearance for something like that, however in hindsight it may have been to "unveil" his new look. Regardless, you must realize he's been having it colored black for many years. He started to grey around the temples as far back as 1986, as photos from that era indicate.

It didn't happen so suddenly.

UK Hall of Fame 2006 - I think that's his first public appearance with white hair....well black&white hair, to be precise. You can easily see the black hair still growing out.

Excellent contribution you've made to this thread. There you have it.

The first time I saw Jimmy with any gray was Knebworth 1990 where it was gray on the sides.

I think the first time we saw him fully white (on this board at least) was around New Year's. Some one had posted this photo of him with a fan at that time:

(I don't think I have the non-cropped photo.)

On my home planet, our dyed hair fades swifty through a combination of showers and lack of re-dying.

Or perhaps just that he had no choice, having been called as a witness?

His greying temples were evident in 1981.

[tyedye]

He could have had the color stripped from his hair too.

[Honeydripper]

I have been told by a hair stylist friend that she noticed obvious signs of him dying his hair since the MTV unplugged special. She said this before he let it go gray on the sides....and then full on gray.

[Knebby]

Like I said there was grey in his hair in 1981. He was bound to be very grey by now.

WTF indeed. What are you talking about?

what im talking about is you bagging me for asking trivial questions and here you are debating the colour of jimmys hair!!!!!

I have never said anything about those questions being trivial, I think the word I used was 'private'. The only thing I did was wondering why the names of their children are among the first things you are interested in. There is a huge difference between discussing Jimmy's hair and wanting to know where he lives.

[Bonham]

Who cares where they live or what colour their hair is, anyway? For me, it's just the music.

[Lynne]

I like that picture of Jimmy.

On an interview about his broken finger, on you tube, it showed a real close of Jimmy not only is his hair white it is also thinning on top very quickly.

Don't be sorry. You've no reason to be.

The thinning part was evident on the Page/Plant tours. When he got all sweaty his hair would flatten down and from the back you could tell that it was getting thin. Not really a bald spot per se, but thin.
