    grey or white...its true,when my scalp turned white grey hairs come out,but now i have noticed my scalp is turning back to my normal color,my grey hair has lessen,i have read before in a certain website that a 5minute massage to scalp would help to lessen grey hair,and biotin supplement would also help.

    Haha yesssssss :) I have white hair too, just at the front of my hair line so its pretty noticeable if I wear my hair in a ponytail with it all pulled back but I recently had a haircut and I got bangs so that hides it pretty easily. But really, in the beginning I hated it but now.. I kind of embrace it :) I like being ROGUE :) hahaha, because I have it in the SAME exact stop :D Oh and I wear a headscarf so nobody can see it anyways, lol

          Is it weird that I had wondered what vit guys w/ male pattern baldness would prefer- a smooth dome with no white patches, or a full head of hair?
          I found myself thinking the other day, while observing a woman with *very* thinning hair, "I may resemble a smeared cheetah more and more each day, but thank GOD I have great hair!"
          Goes to show you where our priorities are. Incidentally, if you're interested, my bumbling dermatologist who just doesn't know what to do about my depigmentation is renowned for his work in hair loss. How I got matched up with the winner of the 'prestigious' Golden Follicle Award (I can't make this sh*t up) is beyond me.

            i'd rather have a full head of hair of ANY color(s).
            then 2nd, i'll take the perfect bald mono color smooth dome. i love hair, and i'm hanging onto as much of it as i can for as long as i can. vanity is my name. ;-)

    I tried to hide the gray hair with dye a few years back.I gave that up pretty quick. Now I look like an antique, get the senior discount everywhere I go. Much older women are hitting on me and because of an over active thyroid I'm looking a lot more like Santa with my gray locks and boyish figure.I guess I rather look like Santa than a underweight weight lifter.

      use "just for men", pick a color one shade lighter then your hair color. you'll be very happy with the results. i've been using it for many years and have had good results from it.

    I think if my body hair had started losing its color at a much younger age (I'm 27 and only just now seeing vit patches also cause loss of hair color) I would have been beside myself. But I gotta say, maybe it's just because I'm getting old, or maybe its because I have a good sense of humor, but all I can do really is laugh. It's not like it was my life's dream to be Playmate of the Year. Just for Men beard dye works wonders for eyebrows and, well, nether regions. For anyone contemplating dying your eyelashes, consult a professional for that one. Hair dye can cause permanent damage to your vision.

    The monobenzone is causing my vit to spread like crazy and new patches to spring up like weeds, and the hair in those areas is losing color more and more. Again, not the hair on my scalp, thank goodness! Not that I'm super self conscious, but my hair grows extremely fast. I would be dying it every other week! Ali isn't made of money.
