Question About White Hair - Maybe Not Typical Gray Hair Posted: 07-13-07 18:36pm
I'm in my 20's, and I began to notice a
single white hair growing from my head.
At first I thought it was gray hair, but
someone told me white hair can be commonly
found if I have a small birthmark on my
scalp. Well, I have had my head shaved
pretty short, and haven't seen any sign of
a birthmark.
Now I'm getting even more white hairs.
They come out easily, but aren't brittle.
The strange thing is, they are stronger
than my normal strands of hair, and grow
more rapidly. At first, I thought it was
an illusion, but it's true that every
white hair on my head, is considerably
longer than my darker hairs.
Is this gray hair, or a common condition?
Could this be some strange, and rare hair
disorder? I've never heard of gray hair
being stronger and longer than normal
hair.

OMG this is exactly what i have; i didnt
notice it but my friends and family did
and it made me feel very wary just like
you these hairs are stronger than my
normal hairs, and gradually over time i
got more and more.these hairs are not due
to any birth marks as this has been
checked..these hairs are behind my ears
and just above my neck, but eventually
they reached a certain amount and they
have not 'spread' i was given an
appointment at the hospital to see a
specialisy and he put it down to my
pigments it can be treated with a course
of steroids,however this is not a suitable
answer to me and i have chosen to just die
my hair?
does this make you feel any
different about yourself.....thought i was
like the only one with this problem please
write back thankyou x
