What to do with a single white hair on my head?

My hair is black. This single white hair is pestering me, no matter how I plucked it, another one would grow in the same area. It is in the center of my head, so if it grows to a centimeter or an inch long, it looks like a planted white needle. Some say that plucking it would make the surrounding other dark hair white. I would like to read your answer.

I have the same thing and all you can do is pull it out. Coloring your hair for 1 little grey is not worth it. You will not grow 10 back in its place I promise. I am sorry to sat though it will never stop growing back unless the follicle is damaged.

Yank it out

You can cover it with mascara or leave it alone and call it a "highlight."

You pull the white ones and you'll get 10 new white ones to take its place. Just kidding. Nothing you can do you're starting to get gray hair. Maybe a daily multi-vitamin will slow the process.

I once had this problem. Just yank it out. Yanking one will not "sprout" new ones. Mother Nature takes her course and when she decides to gray your hair (more than one), then you have to accept it or color it! That one gray hair WILL come back. You will just have to keep your eyes wide open.



I carry a pair of tweezers in my purse as I have a couple hairs that grow out of my chin (EEEEWWW) and I seem to notice them when I am in my car of all places! Perhaps the sunlight? Or that I am so close to my sunvisor mirror? My point is, the annoying hairs weather facial or on your head do not go away.



I understand the frustration with having black hair as white hair is a huge contrast. My mother always had very dark brown hair. She colors it, but white hair at her roots are very noticable and aggravating.



I started graying in my late twenties but fortunately it blended in with my hair as it was brown with some lighter brown streaks. As I have gotten older my hair has seemed to naturally darken until my hair started graying around my face. I notice it most when I pull my hair back. Fortunately alot of it is "underneath" as I have thick hair. When I pull it back I see ALOT of gray around the ears.



So now, at 43,...I use semi permanent hair dye at home to save a buck. My last hair coloring I paid for was a trip to a learning salon or "beauty school" where they did an excellent job of frosting, or color weaving my hair. I am not sure what it is called now! They gray still shows but not as prominent.



Good Luck!

Ignore it. Maybe it will go away from an appaling lack of attention. Have you pulled it out all the way at the root? if not then try that.

It will fall out on its own. But don't pull it out or you will grow 3 more.
