I have plenty of facial hair (for a woman), and it all seems to be pigmented still.

You just be happy that you are not a boy-type person! I’ll be 60 right soon, and my beard has been un-pigmented since I was 35 or so. (Stress will do that to you.) I have found, when shaving my face, that the un-pigmented face hairs are tougher and harder to shave than they were when they were brownish-colored. Add to this that one’s skin gets more fragile as he gets older, and you can see why some of us doddering old geezers refrain from shaving our faces every day.

i find mine annoying only because they started coming when i was working on g’s immigration paperwork so to me they symbolize worry. but in fact how they look like is kind of cool. not as striking as yours because the contrast is more when you have the dark hair like yours, but at least some natural highlights – lol

I tend to think grey hairs show that one is old enough to have experience and potential wisdom and maturity and therefore should be a mark of pride rather than a fearsome thing. I kind of regret that at 37 I haven’t any yet.

However I have decided I want to be a long-haired old woman and started growing my hair, which is a shock to the system since my hair has been shaved short for going on 15 years. It’s long enough to move around now when I move my head, which feels very odd, and I’m beginning to experience tangles!

I had my first few unpigmented hairs when I was about age 9. Then I developed alopecia (entirely unrelated!), or to be more precise my alopecia progressed further than it had up to this point. I am now very near completely bald, with only a few natural hairs left on my scalp at all. I would have to double check but I think all the ones I have are pigmented, so I technically have no white hairs at all–but would probably have a lot if my hair did miraculously grow back. I wear a wig with no unpigmented hairs.

I have one white hair (that I’ve discovered), and I’m twenty. I don’t mind, although I fear getting pressured to yank it out or dye it, both of which I know I would hate. But I like it.

I think it’s kinda cool, too. Congrats! :)

I’m 2 years younger than you, and occasionally I have found a whitish/grey hair.

We had a family friend who had cancer and went through chemo and the hair loss that often accompanies chemo, and when her hair grew back it was a really distinguished silver color. Everyone said that it looked fantastic on her.

Yes you are right on this. I didn’t realize that before. I found this short article on white and gray hair.
