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.

My doctor told me that it is because the disease damages the color pigment as well.

Hi, I'm not entirely sure what those white hairs are, or what they mean. Over the years of losing my hair and it growing back, I would have normal colored and looking regrowth, but after losing many times, what I have been left with are these white hairs, they cover at least half my head now, they have been like this for several years now, never becoming normal hairs again, this may not be your case, but while I was still hiding my loss, these white hairs would get as long as my regular hair, while never taking on color by themselves or by me trying to color them (the dye doesn't work) Like you If it would come in thicker I would be happy with the all white hair rather than no hair. I have never gotten a straight answer as to what they are or what they mean in terms of AA. It's such a mystery.

I look like I got electrocuted cause I have all these little white hairs sticking straight out all over my head I have had to cut them twice cause they get so long but there isn't enough of them to look like I'm getting hair it's just weird that it's never done this before but this is definatly the worse it has ever been so I just don't know what to expect this time

Mine comes back white too, then if it is going to amount to anything changes to my natural colour when about 1/2 inch long. Lately I have sparse wiry white ones but it does not fill in. Funny how it works sometimes. Gotta wonder what the body is doing!
