I'm getting gray like white hair all over my head

I always had brown hair but I always wished I was a red head. I colored it bright red. A year ago i shaved what little hair I had left. The patches got smaller and smaller and it quit growing. The last couple of months my hair has been growing back very slowly I am getting more and more. Its really sparse and has no color to any of it. Any color hair would be so great. I will take gray hair over no hair any day.

Yes, my hear is growing back white, but I am happy regardless of color. I dye my white hairs light brown like the rest of my hair and the color takes and holds.....which leaves me to believe the white hair follicule has cuticle but no melamin.

Are we talking about vellus hair? Short, colorless and pretty much invisible until you look very closely. My head is covered with it. I shaved it all off and it grew back. Same color, same length. It never gets long. From my research, it's either the beginning or the end of the life of a hair follicle. Miniaturized follicles that is. I REALLY need to stick to the Rogain plan as i've heard that Rogain helps revitalize those follicles and turn vellus hair back to terminal (normal) hair.

Ever since losing my hair 4 years ago, my scalp has been covered with those white/colorless hairs. Sometimes they thicken and darken in patches, but for the most part they just stay white and thin. I do have to shave my head as it sort of takes on a mad scientist appearance. I have also had them grow on my eyebrows which helps as I can use tinted brow gel to color them.

I have have greyish, whitish peach fuzz too! It is as fine as baby hair so fine I don't even have to shave it very often. It only grows on the very top and sides of my head. Maybe I will be a platinum blonde next go around! After rocking a bald head we can can rock anything!
