He lost a lot of hair due to a flea allergy this summer. When it grew back, it was white, making my black cat look like a tuxedo cat!!! Will this be permanent, or will it eventually shed away?
It will more than likely be permanent. The allergy and the scratching the cat probably did more than likely did some damage to the hair follicles. Your cat will probably stay a tuxedo cat.
i'm only 15 and i have a few strands already, but the hair isn't fully white, just like half of it
Nothing will happen if you pull out grey hairs. People say if you pull them more will come, but that is a total MYTH. If it bothers you alot, you can always cover them with a permanent hair color.
just from stress,dont worry its not bad if u want to lol.
I don't really know, but my mom always told me for every white hair you pull, three more come back.
It will be ok. Just like me. My hair is still fine.
I think that's a myth about three coming back for every one you pull. I pull mine.
i guess it's not any different than plucking hair. using a hair dye might be better
It has been my experience that it will just grow back! If it is the kind that sticks up, pluck it. If it is partially white, color it.
grey hair? its fine to pull them out. im 21 and i have a few myself. either dye your hair or pull them out
Thats hot.......you may be able to buy alcohol with that grandma hair.......
If it's gray, white hair?
its fine dont worry about it
nothing worng with that I started getting grey at 18 now I am almost 43 and I am salt %26amp; pepper
Iti isn't bad... it would eventually grow back... similar to the process of waxing in which the hair is pulled at the root requiring it to grow from the root (under the skin) until it is eventually once again visible.
One day you'll be wishing you weren't loosing your white hairs and you'll reflect on how stupid pulling out your hair was. But you're fifteen. You've got lots of time. Me personally, I have better things to do than yank out my own hair.
No, it is not true that if you pull it you will get 10 more. Just another myth floating around there.
Everyone actually does have a few grey hairs, it's just more noticeable in dark headed people. I noticed one when I was 7
Pulling out your hair, if you get the root, isn't very good. The reason is because when you pull out hair by the root, there is a chance that it won't grow back. If you continue to pull out your hair in this manner, you could thin out your hair considerably.
Some times pulling your white hair is good, but often bad, so take more consideration.
My hair started to go gray hi H.S. too. My friend used to pull them out at lunch. Later my mom let me color my hair.
It could be stress or it could be genetics. Did your mom or dad start getting gray hair early? Are your nails in bad shape too? Maybe you should see your doctor. Vitamin or mineral deficiencies might be causing it.
I know it's freaking you, but one day you'll have gorgeous silver hair and be proud of it.
I have a few white hairs but hey, I'm 46 and I still have HAIR!! Don't worry about 'em!!!
how to stop growth of white hair?
its a genetic problem
BE GLAD YOU HAVE HAIR
If all your hair is white, then it is almost certainly genetic. If there is only a white patch, it is also possibly related to a birth mark or something similar on your scalp. There is nothing you can do to stop the hair color change, besides dyeing it, of course.
There is not much you can do to stop premature greying. This is caused by a decrease in melanin in the hair.
It's genetic.
Thanks to my mom I've already got white streaks in my hair at 20 and she says I'll probably be all gray by 25 ::hugs her hair dye::
its genetic and u cant help it.maybe u should go to a hair care specialist.they might help.
The determination of when someone begins graying, whether it comes with aging or prematurely, seems to be almost entirely based on genetics. Sometimes people are born with gray hair because it is passed down genetically.
The change in hair color is caused by the gradual decrease of pigmentation that occurs when melanin ceases to be produced in the hair root, and new hairs grow in without pigment. Two genes appear to be responsible for the process of greying, Bcl2 and Mitf. The stem cells at the base of hair follicles are responsible for producing melanocytes, the cells that produce and store pigment in hair and skin. The death of the melanocyte stem cells causes hair to begin going grey.[2]
There are no special diets, nutritional supplements, vitamins, nor proteins that have been proven to slow, stop, or in any way affect the graying process, although many have been marketed over the years.
I've had gray hairs since I was 23...my mother started getting them at 26 so I wasn't surprised that I got them early too. You can't stop them from changing...its part of life
The reason why your hair is going gray could be any amount of reasons. The hair fibers appear gray because they are lacking in pigment. Basically what has happened is that the hair follicle responsible for that hair fiber is no longer capable of coloring the hair that it secretes.
Hair is pigmented by the same mechanism that your skin is pigmented 鈥?through action of cells called melanocytes. Essentially hair is pigmented because these melanocytes travel to the follicle, and through various complex mechanisms that aren鈥檛 well understood, the hair (which is a protein) comes out with some color 鈥?in my case black (with a few of those grew hairs, too).
Why is your hair going gray? Well, the easy answer is that the melanocytes are either migrating away from the follicle, or they are inactive for some reason. Why would they inactivate? Any guess is a good guess here 鈥?this is still a bit controversial. But, I think that most scientists would agree that it has something to do with the DNA. People who go gray early (experiencing premature leukotrichia 鈥?leukotrichia means loss of pigment of the hair, or in other words, a condition where the hair is gray. 鈥淟euko鈥?means white; 鈥渢richia鈥?is from the Greek meaning hair or tail) are most likely genetically predisposed.
Maybe I should explain that a little further, eh? Genetically predisposed means that you have the genetic make-up such that under the 鈥渞ight鈥?set of circumstances, those genes will be activated. An example of a genetic predisposition would be certain kinds of cancers. In this example some people have certain genes that make it much more likely that they will develop a certain kind of cancer when they are placed in a certain situation. This means, a malnutrition state might trigger a certain kind of cancer. Or maybe a great deal of stress will cause some other phenotype.
So a genetic predisposition should be considered like potential energy in physics. If a book is sitting up on top of a shelf, it is said to have potential energy. The potential energy is the amount of energy produced by that book as it falls to the floor. The fact that it is stationary and not moving, or actually producing the energy, makes it 鈥減otential鈥?and not kinetic energy. Once the book is moving, the energy produced is kinetic energy (energy of motion). A genetic predisposition is much the same 鈥?there鈥檚 potential for the phenotype encoded by that gene (or those genes if it鈥檚 part of a whole system of genes) to show up, but it鈥檚 not necessarily being shown/produced.
Back to the matter at hand 鈥?you were genetically predisposed to show gray hair. However, because something has happened, you are now showing gray hair. That event that happened to trigger this could be something that you could control, or it could be something beyond your control. In some people, going gray just happens, it happens at a certain time, and then it doesn鈥檛 proceed much beyond that.
Be that as it may, there鈥檚 nothing wrong with having gray hair. It鈥檚 just another thing that helps you be an individual. There are not any treatments that I know of, other than to dye your hair, that would make your hair less gray. Well, there are treatments, but they鈥檙e cost prohibitive, and I doubt they鈥檝e been approved by the FDA yet.
However, you really should try to eat three meals a day if you can. Actually, it鈥檚 a little better to spread that out over 5 smaller meals if possible. Going through a quasi-starvation state is not necessarily good for the body. It鈥檚 a bit rougher on the body to go long stretches of time without eating. The body does strange things to compensate, so try to get back on a fairly normal schedule. And eat a nice healthy, balanced diet. I鈥檓 not saying that those things will stop the gray hair (it might, who knows!), but it certainly won鈥檛 hurt things any, and if anything, it might help out a bit!
Take mehendi(marudhani leaf powder) and mix it with water and make it as a dough. Keep it in an iron pan or vessel(iron is good for the hair)for one full night.On the next day,take one spoon of tea powder and pour one glass of water to it.Boil it and bring it to half the glass.After it is cool,mix mehendi with it.Take your hair,make lot of partings and apply it in each section.Keep it for some time.Do not overdry it,because it will be hard to wash the mehendi from the hair.After few minutes,wash it well with shampoo.If you do not wash the hair well,you might get dandruff.For few days,your hair will look brown,then it will turn to thick black.This will also prevent white hair. Those with sinus problems are not recomended to use it.
genetics,stress
I've always had a few strands ever since I was 4 years old, but yesterday I counted about 50-60 strands of white hair... I dont mind it but I'm wondering why at such a young age?? by 40 I'll have a full set lol!
Gray hair at such a young age is usually due to a genetic predisposition. Being genetically predisposed means that you have the genetic make-up to have gray hair at a young age under the 閳ユ笧ight閳?set of circumstances. The event that triggered your graying could have been anything; stress, nutrition, environment, etc.
heredity,,
culd be a skin fungus -
check wiht your doctor about getting a hydrocorizone cream .
Probably just genetic. My sister-in-law had lots of grey hair at 18 and her parents both had full sets of white hair at 30!
try just for men
I think it looks cool, now you'll look like Taylor Hicks!
do you have bad temper? do you get angry a lot? if yes, then that may be the cause....
probably heredity, you could try putting highlights but ask ur doc first if you can do anything else. good luck!! =D
Gray hair is typically a result of natural aging. Pigment in the hair shaft comes from special cells at the root (base) of the hair. These cells are genetically programmed to make a certain amount of pigment (melanin) at specific ages. At some point in the aging process, these cells make less and less pigment until the hair has very little pigment. White hair has no pigment, and gray hair has some but not as much as a red, black or brown hair.
Not all hairs respond in the same way or at the same time. So the graying process usually is gradual. You can't prevent graying. Some people start graying in their 30s, and some not until their 60s. Genetics likely play a strong role in graying.
People rarely go gray overnight. If they do, it's typically due to alopecia areata. This condition causes the thicker, darker hairs to stop growing before it affects the growth of gray hairs 閳?giving the impression of graying overnight. Alopecia areata eventually causes roundish patches of hair loss or complete loss of hair on the head or body. Its cause isn't known.
i went searching and ways to prevent gray hair growing would be
Taking vitamin supplements helps.. Usually cold and stress causes early greying of hair.. so do meditation to relax and take care of cold/sinus.
too much Vit.C also caused greying..
Eating fresh fruits and veggis will keep you in good health and improve the general health.. and hence prevent greying..
There is no one remedy for premature greying.. its ur overall health that is to be taken care of to avoid that.
ooh you're just like steve martin! well sometimes it can be genetic, stress induced, it all depends.
genetics.
stress?
There are a few reasons why hair can go gray prematurely, but one reason can be a result of stress. Regardless, the solution can be to either use a product that blends in gray with a natural hair color, or to color your hair artificially. That's what I do personally and I'm 42 and starting to go gray.
all to do wityh genes im only 28 and my half head is white plus i dye it jet black so im always constantly touching up my roots
I was wondering that when I was playing it last night. Maybe devils have natural white hair. Because I thought if he dyes it, isn't that a ittle weird...he goes into a salon asking to touch up his hair when the roots start to show. And do you think his secret outfit in the second one looked kinda gay? Not that I care, I'm gay. It's just with the scarf thing...he looked a little poofy.
Devils never cry...
Like sephiroth (is that guy going premiturley grey? surely not) it will be one of lifes many mysteries...
Personally, I think he dyes it. Although being far to vain, I can't see him admitting it.
oh, please... Vergil and Sparda had white hair too, do you think they would all go to a salon? hell no! Report It
Didn't his roots start to show in the first game?
Maybe he went to the hairdresser's in between the first and second game... but in all fairness; he's a fictional character - what does it matter?
its probably ash, from the people he kills, coz ash is white. i'm just sayin, i think thats a good idea
uhh its a game his hair culd anytin
just a couple of white hair, not much, on the front there is a couple and 1 or 2 on the side of the head. i know u shudn't wash ur head wid hot water and u shudn't get stressed. nw i hope u guys can help me out. thank u
if you are a girl don't worry just tint your hair - if you are a boy - just look at George Clooney - sexy or what! Girls find some white hair on boys very very attractive so stop worrying x
There's not a lot you can do really. You shouldnt pull them out because they supposedly get worse and more will grow. So either dye part of your hair or if they dont even really show dont worry about them right now.
Ive had loads of white hairs since i was 16 and theyre not on top, so it's no too bad.
Are you sure its not just normal, what colour is your hair? You could always use a wash in colour or semi permanent hair dye? That would cover it, if theres only a couple just pluck them out xx
I've had a problem with white hair for a long time. I've had white hair since i was in Junior high and i only seem to be getting more... I'm graduating highschool this year and I still have the same problem. When i lift up the top layer of my hair, you can see a lot of white hair. I don't know how to get rid of it. I have more white hair than my own mother of age 45! Another problem i have is that my hair always falls out when i shower and it gets so bad that sometimes it clogs the drain. I don't know what to do. I seriously don't want to get bald. Is this something i should be worried about? My friends all have dark black hair but my dark black hair is fading to light brown now... I don't know what is going on. Please help me?
P.S. - I dont want to dye my hair because it's going to damage my hair and i like my natural hair...
that happened to me to but i found out it was because i wash my hair to much. i washed it once everyday. Also condition your hair after shampooing. shampoo your hair every other day or every week depending on the texture of your hair. but put condtioner in it daily. i am black filipino latino i don't have african hair that is lyk an afro but i have curly thick hair. curly hair needs more conditioning than straight hair.
also don't straighten your hair everyday just once a week leave it curly or put it in a pony.
Try out some styles that cover up the white areas. Whatever you do, do NOT pluck them out because that will only create it to come back even more white, and will create more white hairs around that area which you pulled from.
First, you should rule out any medical problems that might be causing this. Mention it to your parents and to your doctor. If they determine there is nothing wrong, please consider dyeing your hair. I know you don't want to, but after it's done, I think you'll be pleased with the results. Look at it this way; try it once. If you don't like it, your hair will grow out. (Dyeing only affects the hair on your head, not what hasn't grown yet).
Well, you don't have to dye your hair, but you can use a color gloss or other temp color to cover them up a bit. Just make sure that if you use funky colors you pick ones that are closer to your natural shade, otherwise if you were to choose red, for example, it would look pink on the white areas. (Trust me, I learned from experience!) The temp colors have no ammonia and won't damage your hair. There's also the brand Grecian Formula (it's a men's brand) that slowly will change your white hairs back to your natural color, but you'll have to use it all the time to maintain the change.
There is actually a (Treatable) disease that causes your hair to fall out.
You should get checked by a doctor.
Also, you can dye your hair natural colors using henna, which isn't damaging to your hair. The only thing is, once you use henna you can never use any other type of dye.
But its a nice competitor to the usual hair-killing hairdye.
