I start to have some white hair now. It is so troublesome to pluck it by myself. My son is very kind and he helps me to pluck it. I wonder who will help you to pluck yuor white hair.

Ouch, you pluck your white hairs? wouldn't it be less painful and easier to color it than to pluck it out? That sounds painful, and not at all fun and like you said, one can't do it alone.

I don't really like dye my hair yet since I dislike the chemical stuff.

I hear you, I avoided the chemical stuff for as long as possible. Now I use Henna, a friend here was talking about it and if you get the good stuff, it is natural and it doesn't dry out your hair. Of course the henna turns the white hairs red, but if you have dark hair, there is something called "indigeo" that I am looking into getting, because I wonder if perhaps the "red" is too bright on me, even though I had naturally red highlights. The indigeo, mixed with henna, covers the white, but makes the hair dark, not red..

Thanks for the BR.. Are you considering using henna? I just received my package of indigo in the mail this week, I can't wait to see how it works...

Well, here in the US the government allocated a certain amount for us to hire someone to come out once a month and pick the hairs off our heads that have turned. If your loved one doesn't love you enough to do that is. hehe

Supposed to be sarcasm. Just as funny as some of the things our government does pay for.

When I grow old, I would not pluck my white hair, instead I would just cover it with blank or brown hair color! When I was a little kid, my mother would always call out to me to pluck her white hairs. I remember it being a tedious job so I would always hide somewhere because I don't wanna spend my time plucking out white hairs. I thought that I would rather play outside than pluck hairs! Again, I would just color my hair to make me look younger!

I have heard it before but I am not sure if this is correct, when you pluck the white hairs, they will only grow more..

I hear that it is not advisable to pluck white hairs. The more regular and more often you pluck it, the more NEW white hair will come out. Plucking out your white hair spreads the 'seeds' of the white hair. I do not have any scientific explanation for this. It's the talk that I hear from people who have problems with white hair. Not only it will quicken the spread of white hair, plucking your hair also makes the part where you pluck becomes bald in later days. I suggest to just use the natural herbal dye.

I also heard that but I am not sure whether it is true or not.

I always help my parents pluck white hairs and I also heard of the saying that plucking white hair will accelerate its spreading rate,but I also heard that smearing ginger on the head skin after plucking off the white hair can settle this problem,I don't know it is true or not,ginger have the use of helping grow hairs,so you can try it.

I do have quite a few white hair...but I do not pluck it out. In our community, there is a belief that if you pluck out one white hair, 2 white hairs grow in it's place. I'm not sure if it's true but why take a risk? And if I had to pull out all my white hair, I would have to pull out a substantial amount of hair ..LOL. So, I prefer to colour...which by the way started only 2 months ago.

same here I'm only 28 and every morning I wake up I just cant help it when I see white hair growing so fast..I guess the more you pluck it is the more it grows..My niece and my nephew are still young to help me pluck it off so what I always do is face the mirror and pluck it myself..Isn't it too itchy when you pluck it? and I learned that you pluck it today tomorrow its too stubborn and its there again with another white hair mates

hi youless he he ha ha.oh my if I plucked all my white hairs I' would look horrid as I would be bald. why not use a rinse to blend them into you natural hair color. You are evidently still a young woman so get a rinse the color of your hair and just color the white out, thats much easier as plucking them could just cause more to grow back in.I dyed my hair ash blonde for years before letting it grow silver and white.Clairoil makes some excellent hair dyes.

I think once coloring the hair, you have to keep on it. Otherwise the growing white hair will be so obvious

I am a senior citizen and its natural for me to have white hair.However even at this age,i am 66 yrs, i have very little white hair since most of it is black and mind you, i have never used artificial coloring in my life.Why should i pluck white hair? I prefer Nature to take its own course.

I don't have white hair yet, and I think my son will be the one who will help me to pluck it. But have you heard that after you have pluck one white hair, and you will get 3 more white hair from the same spot?

Hi there youless, Interesting topic, I think that it is good if you are already a father or you do have a reliable niece and your a cool uncle so that they can pluck your white hairs, but for people like me who is not a father or is an uncle yet not cool I will have a hard time but anyway you can always pay someone to do it, and I share youre hair agony.
