Sometimes I pluck them, but mostly I don't care. I figure they're less obvious when they're the same length as the rest of my hair. When I pluck them, they stand up straight as they grow back in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-45362 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 10:22:10 +0000 cyneswith 45362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 25 year old husband has a bunch of white hairs in his dark chocolate mane. It's actually rather pretty. I also knew a woman who had the most gorgeous waist-length hair I've seen - and it was a silvery gray. So I'd just let nature take it's course, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-45346 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:52:53 +0000 mrsjyw 45346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had white hairs since college. I have really dark dark brown/black hair naturally and have dyed it on/off since high school. But, even through dye jobs, some white hairs stay white. I just deal with it and try not to notice since it's covered in the crown of my head by other hairs... I have too many to pluck, but I'd go that route if I didn't have ver many of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-43975 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:12:47 +0000 singingbee 43975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dye my hair. I have since I was about 15. I got the dark black hair on my mom's side and they went white (not gray) super early. I'm 31 now and color it every 5-7 weeks. Right now, my roots are so bad one if my husband's friends stopped talkig to me in mid sentence because he was shocked by my white at the top of my head. I'd say I'm about 90% white now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-43619 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:12:07 +0000 Mrs.KMM 43619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started finding my first few grays when I was 19. For now, I can get away with just plucking them out when I find them though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-41030 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 07:12:13 +0000 mediagirl 41030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do anything about them yet but I think I'll have the same problem after the baby is born. I will probably start dyeing soon but right now I pretend they mix in well wih my old highlights I'm growing out. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-41019 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 02:45:52 +0000 808love 41019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get one about every 5 years. :( I'm sure that will increase. Just found one today. Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-41015 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 01:20:09 +0000 Rosie Girl 41015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pluck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-41008 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 01:06:30 +0000 tequiero21 41008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i pluck. i don't have enough where i have to worry about coloring yet. but i know it's coming soon! i also, have never colored my hair and i'm really reluctant to do so. i don't want to spend the money - what a waste! but i will when i have to. but now that i'm pregnant, seems like i have less white hairs - weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-40146 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:36:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 40146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I wish I didn’t have this problem. I started finding grey hairs around 26 I think – then it was just a few right at where I part my hair so I just plucked them. Now at 30, if I plucked them, I’d be half bald! I dye my hair. Used to get it done professionally which is fun, but it got to be expensive. Now I do it myself. Costs about 10 bucks at most and it takes about an hour in total from opening the box to shower at the end and drying and styling my hair, and I do it every 6 weeks or so. So, that’s not a terrible amount of upkeep. If you pick a color very close to your natural color, the upkeep isn’t so bad as the root issue isn’t as stark as dying your hair a color that’s way off from your natural color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-40068 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:29:21 +0000 enjollah 40068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this issue too! I haven't made the decision to dye because it WILL become a lot of upkeep. Currently, I'll pluck the ones that are visible (which aren't too many) but leave the hidden ones. It has cut down on various hairstyles though.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-40065 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:26:24 +0000 Modern Daisy 40065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started going gray right after I graduated college at age 22. It was pretty manageable until recently (30 now), there are enough now where you can see it as my roots grow in between highlight appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-40060 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:21:45 +0000 Rescuemom10 40060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dye my hair. I think I was about 23 when I got my first grey hair. I have dark hair and my "greys" are more like GHOST WHITE! I dont have a lot, but on dark hair they stick out BAD! So I dye my hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-40057 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:18:10 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 40057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, I pluck. I would hate to dye, just because of the maintenance factor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-40022 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:54:07 +0000 cyndistar3 40022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember when my sister was doing my hair a couple months ago she found a couple grey hairs... I made her take them out immediately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-40019 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:51:17 +0000 chopsuey 40019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No white hairs, but once in a while I'll make DH dig around my hair to look for strays. HAHA. If he finds one I make him yank it out.<br /> My grandparents on both sides and my parents still have dark, full heads of hair, so hoping for the same. </p> <p>I don't think you can reverse it.. but I think stress causes white hairs to sprout, so try not to stress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-hairs-gah#post-39999 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:42:19 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 39999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have white/gray hairs? What do you do? I've never dyed my hair before and don't want to start because it's a lot of upkeep. I've lost a lot of hair post-partum and had a few stray white hairs before baby, but now some of new baby hairs are growing in pure white! I have always plucked my white hairs but now I'm getting paranoid that there are too many and will make my already thinning hair look worse. Do you pluck or dye white hair? Is there anything you can do to reverse it? Take Vitamin E or melatonin? </p>
