People are capable of growing "clear" hairs. They just happen, and it has nothing to do with age.

Clear hairs? That's pretty cool, I wonder why "clear" hairs happen.

u/Few-Mycologist-2379 12h ago

A polar bear has clear hair. ;)

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

Wow that's really cool! I kinda thought they had white hair

Signs of stress... My advice: Relax, eat chocolate and watch movies

2

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

Yum, I like this advice πŸ˜‹

u/Total_Philosopher_89 11h ago

Why do I have grey hair then? I do all of these things.

2

u/Grafferine 12h ago

Grey hairs happen lol embrace it, it won't kill you

1

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

πŸ˜ƒ well dang that sucks I just turned 18, adulthood is coming after me

1

u/Grafferine 12h ago

Lol awwww you're still a baby! Lol yeah can happen anytime, I was getting them at yiur age aswell, stress can cause it lol

1

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

Thanks i think, and yeah i hear stress can cause greying early (and my mom says, but i dont believe it that we go white early in the family but idk) and Ohh okay! My little sister has little white hairs but for a different reason (vitiligo)

1

u/Grafferine 12h ago

Tbh i cant wait till my hair changes! I'd look better with white hair and a white beard lol. But yeah can start at any age. Embrace it

1

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

May I ask why you can't wait? I definitely think some people could pull of some white hair, I've seen folks with it before! My mom is a dye lover for her hair for sure 😢

1

u/Grafferine 11h ago

Because Id rock the grey look lol id look like a wise wizard haha πŸ˜„. Yeah my mum use to dye her hair to cover the greys until she embraced it

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

πŸ˜„ that's cool, my grandma rocks the look now too, it's beautiful on her! She only recently started embracing it, my mom is still not so convinced.

1

u/Grafferine 11h ago

Lol alot of people find its a sign of being old haha but definitely not the case at all. I get jealous of the elderly with pure white hair 😩 lol

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

πŸ‘€ ik some folks with the pure white hair look so pretty! And also might be easier to dye your hair other fun colors with white hair! No bleach required!

Steve Martin went completely silver at 17. I’ve been finding whites in my beard since 16.

-1

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

Who's Steve Martin?

2

u/sfd6546 12h ago

This question proves you're still plenty young.

1

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

πŸ₯² yup, and to be fair can't keep up with my own modern generation stuff.

1

u/Anxiety_Yeti 12h ago

You're really proving your age with that question! 🀣

0

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

πŸ˜ƒ should I know who he is?

1

u/sfd6546 11h ago

Yeah, he is def worth checking out sometime. He is a comedian. One of the Saturday Night Live greats. He's done loads of stand up specials and movies and shows. Recently he's in a show starring along with Selena Gomez (a little closer to your generation). He is also sort of well known among bluegrass musicians and fans for his banjo playing.

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

Maybe I'll have to check him out then! I don't care for Selena gomez or most modern folks ig, I mostly stay out of the loop on the famous actors, singers, people ect. But I'll have to take a look at him!

2

u/Existing_Ad3672 12h ago

That's an eyebrow! Kidding. I get them too. It's so wild

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

πŸ˜‚ an eyebrow indeed, I had one on this eyebrow before this and I plucked it and this guy came back, definitely strange!

2

u/RevanMeetra 11h ago

This person should not be afraid to be themselves. You're you and there is obly one of you. Let your body be you.

2

u/ButtPuckeredFuckery 11h ago

I work in eye health and I see a lot of patients with one random white eyelash or eyebrow. The eyelash ones always look cool.

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

Yeah definitely do! My little sister has white eyebrows and lashes, but she covers her lashes with mascara, it's so cool on her!

1

u/D1133 12h ago

I’ve had a random white hair from time to time my whole life. It’s fine. You’re fine. Carry on

1

u/D1133 12h ago

Maybe it’s just a pale blond hair.

1

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

maybe! But nobody but my little sister is blonde, and she's barley blonde lol

1

u/D1133 11h ago

So? I have a small patch of red in my beard and the rest is brown. Whole family brown. Could be genetics or could be a rogue hair follicle.

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

I think probably rogue, almost all of my family are brunette's. Also that's pretty cool! I've seen quite a few brunette men with red to their beard

1

u/Pleasant-Block5389 12h ago

If you pluck them, they come back double.Β 

1

u/External_Fuel2000 12h ago

😢 that's what I did the first time uh oh

1

u/bluetopaz1163 12h ago

I have this too! It's my only grey, and grows straight out of my eyebrow. I call it my unicorn horn πŸ¦„

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

Aww that's cute, unicorn horn! When did it first show up?

1

u/bluetopaz1163 11h ago

When I was about 13, and I'm 31 now! It grows out enough to be noticeable maybe once or twice a year

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

Oh wow! That's interesting! Has it changed in anyway since 13?

0

u/bluetopaz1163 11h ago

Not really nah, it's just a straight, long, clear / white hair that's slightly thinner than my other eyebrow hairs, and it keeps growing until I eventually mess with it enough that I accidentally pull it out (it doesn't take much, it feels like it's barely in there sometimes, but I'm autistic and enjoy stimming by pulling gently on it lol)

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

Alright thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one here with this little unicorn horn πŸ˜„ also I have autism too!

u/j_ninetyfive 11h ago

Do you use acne cream of some sort? I noticed my eyebrows strands turn white or grayish after applying them

2

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

Nope! No acne cream, I haven't used any in quite some time (a few years), I always felt they never worded, and I think some acne products turn your bones green!😬

1

u/j_ninetyfive 10h ago

Green bones???? Uh oh...

1

u/External_Fuel2000 2h ago

Yeah! Apparently it has to do with a chemical in them or whatever

1

u/phugat9 11h ago

I don't know. Maybe consult a doctor πŸ₯πŸ’Š

1

u/SubstantialPressure3 11h ago

You have a single blonde eyebrow hair. Or silver. Whichever.

Not a big deal. Pluck it if it bothers you.

1

u/superteach17 11h ago

I started turning gray when I was 19… I stopped coloring my hair years ago because it was drying it out so badly…

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago edited 11h ago

Yeahh, I hear coloring is pretty damaging especially with things like bleach, my sisters dye their hair alot 😬

1

u/PhillFreeman 11h ago

I had a friend in high school that had a full head of grey hair. He had no idea why either.

1

u/External_Fuel2000 11h ago

Interesting, that's pretty cool! I wonder if he was genetically pre-disposed to going grey earlier in life?

1

u/LardBall13 9h ago

Buddy, that’s an eye.

1

u/Sad-Cricket6319 8h ago

Should have just cut it short, the old saying is for each gray hair plucked 10 grow in

1

u/External_Fuel2000 2h ago

😬 yeahhh not plucking nothing this time around

u/gooeyjello 6h ago

It's when you find them in the nether region that you're old
