I would suggest that you color it too, if it bothers you.
Or could you maybe have some realy light blonde highlights put in it?
I would go to the salon for the highlights, but you could probably color it at home if you choose a color close to your natural color. Or go to a salon and see what they suggest you do for color.

Jessica,

I started getting white hair when I was 14, and I have very dark hair. I`m now 24. Some of my hair has a lot of silver in it while the rest has hardly any. Even though I used to get lots of comments on it, mostly people don`t notice or don`t say anything now.

If this is really bothering you there are always semipermanent dyes. An excellent stylist whose passion is color recommended that I do the semi-permanent thing to give my hair more depth and glow while coloring the silver.

Bottom line is your color is gone. That`s just how it is going to be. I proudly claim this as part of my heritage and deal with it. At first I was depressed, but it isn`t the end of the world.

This is a natural process and unless you are willing to accept it your only other tried and true option is color.

Best luck,

Olivia

Sorry to hear about your problem. The only thing I know of that aids in maintaining hair color is biotin. Most multivitamins contain the appropriate amount of biotin. If you aren`t taking a vitamin, consider it. It doesn`t have to be an expensive one, start with one like One-A-Day.

If that doesn`t work, there are some very good haircolor products on the market...even natural ones. Clairol`s Natural Instincts is a good one or EcoColor ( http://www.colorganicsalon.com/ColorComparisonChart/) You really don`t have to have white hair if it bothers you.

Good luck! ;) Let us know what you try and how it works for you.

Hi there,
I知 17 and my hair started turning white at age of 14 and now 25% of my hair is white which is clearly seen amidst of my brown natural hair.
My hair is upto the shoulders and normal texture.
I don稚 dye my hair not use the dryier and wash twice a week. I知 finding it very difficult to manage people`s comments.
I知 recently using an herbal oil to cure this , it`s been a year almost but for no results.
I知 very depressed about it.
I need some help very badly. Have i do any modification in my diet? what kind of shampoo have i to use? I知 vegetarian and takes eggs sometimes.
i"ll be happy to get the solution to this problem at the earliest.
Thanking you

Jessica
