Oh its grey hair, I noticed today while bathing. Its a concern for me, whether to colour them or make some try hena. I feel herbal hena or mehandi is good for hair and makes them look natrual rather than trying haircolour. What do you say?

The first time I got grey hair was when I was still studying in Secondary High School.

LOL, I know how it feels! The first time my husband told me "Mom, you got one strand of white hair!" a few months ago, I thought he was joking. I dared him to pluck it out and he did. I felt panicky that they would start sprouting all over. Fortunately, I only get about 2 to 3 grey hairs every few weeks. I notice them when I'm combing my hair in front of our big wall mirror and I see something glinting on my head. I just pluck them out one by one. Sometimes, I ask my kids to double check. I don't want to do hair coloring yet coz my friend's mom told me before that once she started covering up her white hair, when the dye fades, more and more are revealed. Now, she has to dye her hair every 2 months just to look younger.

I am only 31, and I have A LOT of gray hair. I even have gray hair in my beard if I let it grow out. I think the term for it is "salt & pepper" but I am not sure. It doesn't really bother me. I know I am not as young as I used to be. LOL

If it's just one strand you can just pluck it out, no need to worry. How long your hair stays away from gray-ness is genetically determined; in my family the people start to get white hair as early as high school and I'm no exception. It's not a problem, just a strand or two once in a while. If there are a lot I think permanent dye works best--you can wait about 2 months before coloring again, depending on how fast your hair grows. The down side is that your hair gets brittle after, but it's nothing a good conditioner won't fix. A lot of hair coloring products come with conditioners anyway.

Yeah seeing grey hair is what gives most people much more headache than anything else...lol... Well I wouldn't suggest you to try haircolor as the chemicals would lead to even more grey hairs.. I wouldn't even suggest trying heena as it gives the grey hair a copper color which i personally don't like.. You can try other ways such as applying amla or something of that sort.. Most importantly I would advice you to have a rich diet and drink atleast 2-3 litres of water everyday, it really works! And apart from that you can just leave them as they are... I heard grey hair can be caused due to the scorching sunlight(which is abundant in India) so just take care when you step out in the sun next time..
