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.

[Mrsjayy]

Just pull them out why wouldn't you?

[CloverHilla]

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!

[chickabilla]

I just pull them out if they are annoying!

[Igmum]

I got lots of friends for mine

[Twitch45]

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!

[Catsmere]

Grow them into a Lily Munster streak? ;)

[DappledThings]

Ignore them. 5 hairs is hardly noticeable.

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

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.

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

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!

[Spanielsarepainless]

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

[Kimten]

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.

[Mrsjayy]

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

[GoldSilverBronzeTan]

Pluck pluck pluck

[Twitch45]

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!

[RhosynBach]

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

[BorneoBound]

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

[YeCannaeChangeTheLawsOfPhysics]

Nothing. I just ignore them.

[Downandflirty]

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

[EversoDetermined]

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.

[MrsMontyD]

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.
