So I have a habit that I really should break. When I am bored I finger-comb my hair and thin out the "undesirables"- Split ends, crinkly hair and during my pregnancy I kept finding mutant hairs that were like 6-10 hairs growing in the same follicle.
Anyway- yesterday I was doing this and felt a wiry hair so of course I yanked it out...and it was a white hair as long as all of my others!! Yikes! So either it had been growing for a couple of years or white hair grows faster? I have about 6-10 white hairs already but for now they get plucked as soon as they get noticed. Sheesh- I am only 25 after all!

I always wonder if they turn white (in my case silver..my hair is really really dark brown..most of it anyway!!) after they are two feet long, or do they grow all that time without me noticing???? I really can't complain about the ammount of silver in my hair for my age (49) but still....I did give up plucking them unless they are right in front or sticking straight up. They are sure alot more wirey arn't they????

Alee, I feel your pain. I was about your age when mine started coming in. By thirty, they were most perisitant.
I do hope once I stop dyeing them, they will be that nice soft silvery grey color, like my Dad's.
I think I will get my wish, just not until I am about seventy and don't dye my hair any longer.
Don't miss out on a blessing, just because it isn't packaged the way you expected. ~MaryJo Copeland |

Mine are that almost metallic silver. Well I guess I like silver so that's good! My first one appeared when I was in middle school- about 13. I didn't see another for a couple of years but I plucked a couple in High school. It seems I pluck 2-3 a year now. I figure once I get a little older I won't mind them growing in so much! I appreciate every year I have lived but I have a lot more to live before I can wear the badge of time-honored wisdom!

I have had white hair since I was 17, gradually it is spreading and I have quite a bit but now I can be a blonde without the hassle of bleach!! HA!!! It is normal in our family to be white before 40. Highlights are a girls best friend!!!

I started going gray around 27 and I didn't like it one bit. I went right out and found the closest color to my own and I've been dying it ever since. I might quit some day, but I'm still not ready. Who knows, I might never be ready and will die with a full head of red hair!

My 30th was yesterday...and I bragged and bragged that I--unlike my 25 yr old sister--had yet to have any silver. But, whilst I was having my hair colored my stylist pointed to a patch that had been hiding on my under layer of hair. Now...do I tell anyone besides y'all????
.... I don't think so....
Dirt under my nails and weeds in my hair...don't tell me I can't dress up with flair! |

Alee, I just KNOW that white hairs grow a bazillion times faster. How else could they show up so suddenly, with such dramatic flare? Gotta love an entrance like that. :) How pretty, to have pewter streaks...sparkle sparkle! :)
We make a difference. |

I found one a couple of years ago, and now there are too many to bother pulling. Oh well. I kept telling my husband not to dye his hair when it started graying, so I guess I can't dye mine either. I'd never hear the end of it!
Alee, your first post reminded me of the days when I had long hair. When I was procrastinating on a paper for school, I would finger comb through and snip off all the individual dead ends with my desk scissors. |

I remember the first one I found...we were in the parking lot of a gas station in Grove City, Ohio (see, I told you I remember)...it was during my aunt's death and I was handling the sale of her home which was VERY frustrating. I attribute it to that...not being 34.
My husband's are more visible :)
