White hair....

[Gibson486]

My friend said that if you have white hair and pull it out, two will grow back. This explanation does not seem feasible...isn't it a myth?

That would explain why you see so many white haired old men with a chrome top.

[EDIT]Dammit, this has to work. If I have to have white hair at least I'll have lots of it![/EDIT]

It's a myth. The colour of your hair has to do with your body's productions of melatonin. Has nothing to do with pulling them out.

Well what about people with white spots in their hair? Anyone know where this comes from?

Oh yes, my friend has a white spot in his hair.

^-- these people have mistakes bleach for shampoo but stopped putting it in their hair just in time because someone yelled "You f---ing idiot!"

White spots in someones hair is when they have a birthmark on their head and there is no pigment in the hair at that spot.

I'm only 21 and I have a few strands of grey showing.
it looks kinda funky though. and I have a few strands of grey on my left eyebrow. that looks funky too.
and my friend has a scar on her eyebrow and that part doesn't grow hair anymore... so it's like a patch of baldness on her eyebrow shaped like the end of the nike tick. she looks SEXY with that little patch.

melatonin? isn't that a drug you take when you can't sleep?

I'm only 18, & I have a LOT of gray hair. I really don't care what color it is, though, as long as I keep it.

<< I think he means melanin >>


yes, melanin is correct.

White hair is actually clear hair. Light waves from light sources are what causes them to appaer white.

 

[Peetoeng]

But isn't melanin a yellow pigment?

I think it is whiteyin for white pigment?

I think of my white hair as highlight, just like highlight wimmin put on their hair.
