What will you do if you find yourself have a little white hair?

What will you do? Will you dye your hair? Will you try to pick out of your white hair? I heard people say it will make your white hair grow much more. But it is so troublesome to use a scissors to cut it one by one.

Hi youless! I do have a few silvery white hair now and I am still not doing anything about it! LOL.. I also know that if I pick it out, the white hair will multiply! Yikes! That is what I have heard and I am not sure if that is true. But I am planning to have a henna treatment so as to cover those few white hair. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

I am not sure whether that saying is true or not. But it's better to believe it, I don't want to make a risk

Yes I've seen them and I have actually plucked them out, don't laugh, but I get a pair of tweezers and yank the white hairs out! Yes I am vain, terribly vain and I do get sensitive about my looks, and seeing white hairs doesn't make me a happy wolf, trouble is as I am fastly reaching 40, the white hairs are starting to appear frequently and when I go to the hairdressers the amount of white that comes out with the brown, it's frightening, it's scary, I'm getting old, noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

That is true I think white hairs show up more in black, I would love to be blond, instead of a brunette LOL! The maddening thing is when I look at photos of me as a child up to the age of 4 I did have blond hair then it grrrrrrr went brown! I did bleach blond my hair once. I guess you can say I am vain and wish for things I can't have.

In fact I think foreigners are lucky. Try to imagine it's obvious to see the white hair from black hair. Whereas I think other colors will be not so clear, especially blond hair

I used to pluck my grays when they showed up. Part of this is the pure vanity of not wanting to have gray hair, but also the first grays that came in were a totally different texture than the rest of my hair (very curly as opposed to just wavy) and they kind of stuck out. Lately I've noticed that a/the texture seems to be the same as the rest of my hair and b/there are too many of them to pull anymore, and so I just let it go. I might get vain enough to color my hair to cover them up, but I might not. I don't really want to spend the money or have the hassle so I might just deal with it.

But it seems plucking hair is not the best method. As I heard it will make your white hair grow more.

I started getting white hair around 24 years old when I had my first child. I just color my hair now, but I am in my early 40's and I have about 25% white hair at this point. It is ok, at least I won't have to bleach my hair much longer I will just be able to put blonde color on it instead. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I think blond hair can cover the white hair very well

I have white hairs already. Whenever I see them I pluck them out. However I think that I might start dyeing my hair to cover it up.

hello youless lol when i am applying my make-up for the day and i discover that i might have a couple of grey hairs that are visible like that, i will grab my tweezers and pluck the grey hairs out. and i have always heard that if you pluck a grey hair out like that, three more will grow back. lol i do not know if that is true or not. but i have been for several years now going to the beauty parlor to get my hair dyed to get rid of the grey hairs that is in it. i go about once every three or four months to get my hair done like that. lol my hair dresser just recently went up on the prices of getting your hair dyed, cut and shampooed. it costs me forty-four dollars to go get my hair done. but i have been going to the same hair dresser for years now and i do not want to have to start going to somebody else to have my hair done. you know? take care and have a beautiful evening.

I hope I will meet a good hair dresser. Since a good one left, I haven't found a satisfactory hair dresser for me.

I have a few, but have never felt the need to conceal them either by colouring or removing them. Not for the reason of any trouble or difficulty, moreso because i am what i am , old or young.

[i]Hi youless, I found one once in awhile and I will just pick it up or remove it! But, when it starts to grow a lot, I might love to dye it![/i]

At least it's the efficient to cover white hair

I really cannot be bothered actually. With age, white hair will grow. So why fret so much about it? Just accept it as part of growing up! As long as still have hair, white or black? Never mind lah!

I will dye my hair, won't want to pick it out as it will be painful. And its dangerous and troublesome to use a scissor to cut it as if I am not careful enough I might cut those hairs around it.

But in my opinion, dying hair is not very safe, too. As it is a medical thing.

Hi youless, I don't mind. Sometimes when I saw white hair I pull it out or I will ask my sister to pull it off for me. I don't know If it's true that If we remove it it will grow more and our hair will turn into white or gray and we will look like old. Anyway, I'm not afraid to be old and whatever the color of my hair..I will accept and enjoy it.

They can take things very easy so they don't want think always but someone always think about them self and worry about it particular one. I think women have more aware to control the white hair because they know how to control in good way.

My bf finds a white hair from my head from time to time and I ask him to pull it out! If my hair has gone all white, I'd probably consider dyeing it.

Now,I haven't had white hair. But by time goes on, I must had white hair. I would dye my hair if the white hair is more and more. And when I came to the old age, I think white hair maybe more beautiful.haha.

Well, I have a whole bunch of white hair at the left side of my forehead. They are quite obvious, and many people asked me about it. I just ignore them, and do nothing about them. I really find it's fine to have white hair, and I don't think it's ugly or anything. I do not let my friends pick them out too, as I think they are really fine. Or I actually think it's kinda cool to have white hair.

Hi, youless. If it is only a couple of strands that are not that noticeable, I will leave it there, but if it starts to fill out my entire hair, before I get too old, I will dye it.

Hi! I started having white hair since I was in high school. I was kind of confused because I thought I was too young to have white hair. But then I met few people my age who have white hair more than mine, so I guess it was kind of normal to have them. I try to pick them but since I realized that they will grow back, I'll just let it there. It's not noticeable though, so that does not matter somehow.

As long as the white hair is not noticeable, that's good enough.
