White furry stuff growing out of my head!!!! WHAT?@!?

Okay.. So for about 5-6 months I have had this white little hairs growing out of my head.. I mean it looks quite furry and its all over.. What the heck is going on?
Does anyone else have this occuring? Does anybody know why this is happening??
And if this white furry stuff it growing.. Some are very long.. (My son thinks they are funny) Why cant my hair grow back?

Just thought I might ask and see if anyone else has these little white friends..lol

Did you see that Vicki tried and it didn't work. It just dyed her scalp.. Maybe you shouldn't try it.. :(
I don't want your scalp to get hurt... Ask Vicki about it..

yeah true... But Im willing to take the risk. If it doesnt work Ill just shave my head and try to wash the color off the scalp :D .. And if that isnt possible Ill just wear a hat for a while no big deal. We have to stay positive and actually believe it can work!

Ok I have now tried dying the fuzz. Unfortunatley I used a way to bright color since the fuzz is actually white and my originial color is brownish. So Im going to buy a darker color, a darkbrown as close to black as possible without it being black.
However my fuzz actually gained color. Although very subtle it is there. I can still se the scalp though. Im hoping that it will stick better once I color it with darker though, since it only turned very brightly blonde right now. Ill post pictures of the first and second round as soon as Ive tried it again.

Cheers / Henrik

Thanks for keeping us updated.

I hope the next round goes better.

How much white fuzz do you have as opposed to before your alopecia?
Also did you have any gray hair before ?

I currently have mabey 40% white fuzz to nothing ratio.

Yeah today is the day unless Im to tired once Im home. However I have bought the color.
At the moment I have no completely bald spots, although I have very little fuz(and very short, at two of my spots. I would say that I have a 40-60 ratio where 30% is fuzz/bald and 60% is my original hair.

I have no gray hair since before my alopecia. And I had no fuzz before my alopecia either if that was your question! =D

It is now colored once again with a darker color. I will upload photos both of the lighter coloring as well as the darker one.
Unfortunatley my spots took a somewhat redish color however it fits in quite nice, and I dare say that they are alot better than they were before.
So if you, like me, have baby-furr growing all over your spots, wait until it is around 1-2 cm and then it at least 50%ish will take the color and the rest wont. Although I suppse its better to just try to wait it out if you have already shaved your hair.

I must say that I almost cant wait to see if it grows back more during the coming 2 months. If not I intend to shave anywa since my hair at the moment is starting too look really bad due too not having a haricut for almost 8 months now. And my hair grow really fast.

I hope this helps someone, and if there is something you would like to know just ask me! =D

Cheers / Henrik
