Stray grey hair - what do you do with it?

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

Just random five or so hair, obviously in the hairline and in the parting. Nowhere near enough to using a dye. The powder root coverage doesn't really work, and the spray marks around. Is there like a very localised usage product that covers single white hair??

looking for product recommendations and application tips.

If it's just 5 and you don't like them, just pluck them.

Just pull them out why wouldn't you?

My grandma would say, pluck a grey hair and 10 will come to its funeral..... but I would pluck it!
Sadly if I did that now I'd be bald, so monthly visits to the hairdresser it is!

I just pull them out if they are annoying!

I got lots of friends for mine

I had a crayon by Josh Wood that worked, but it made my hair quite greasy. I can't see it on the website so it may have been discontinued.

The closest thing I can find is the Bumble and Bumble bb colour stick. I haven't used it though!

Grow them into a Lily Munster streak? ;)

Ignore them. 5 hairs is hardly noticeable.

I’m afraid to pluck then as I’m worried about their friends coming with vengeance. Is that even true ir just old folks take?

will try the stick recommended up thread.

Can’t ignore then - on the in the middle of my forehead, one on the frontline in the side and the other three in my (side) parting. They stick out proudly!

Ignore. I had my first grey hairs at fourteen.

This is a myth although they will grow back in grey.

Me too! I've now got loads but don't feel ready to embrace it just yet so I have dyed my hair since I was about 16 to cover it. My daughter is 10 and had quite a few too, I found her first one when she was around a year old.

I have naturally black hair so grey hairs are so obvious. Luckily I've only got a few. I just pluck them

This idea that if you pluck one hair out, then ten will come back is just bollocks.
If that was true, the cure of baldness would be done by now.

I've been dying my hair for more than half my life, bar pregnancy. Just to cover the grey.

Pluck pluck pluck

The problem with plucking is that the hairs grow back in and stick up. So you have a constant crown of little wiry sticky up greys! Mine are less noticeable if I let them grow long as they then hang down rather than stick up.

I have progressed from 5 grey hairs to 50 over the past 6 months. I bought a semi permanent dye a few weeks ago that I am trying to pluck up the courage to use. My hairdresser told me exactly what to get but I'm still worried about it going wrong!

Pluck them. I do and so far it’s been fine. I mean i have a few more but that’s because im older not because I caused other hairs to change colour by picking the random grey ones

If you are brunette, John Frieda does a defy grey shampoo. It has just a little wash in colour and works reasonably well

That's good to know! I've been plucking so far but do have the wiry sticky up white hair problem now

Nothing. I just ignore them.

I’d use a matching Nice and Easy root colour on just the parting as sparingly as possible.

I plucked them for about 10 years but got fed up with the little spiky greys as they came back. So I have grown them now, they look ok even though the rest of my hair is very dark but if I want to hide them I use a L'Oreal root touch up wand, its a bit like mascara.

I just let mine grow out, it's much easier when you only have a few, I don't want to spend the time or the money at the hairdressers every couple of weeks.
