Do you find white hair attractive?

Asked by jeanna (2059points) November 9th, 2009

I’m 29 and I’ve had white hair since I was 18. I dye it often, but right now I haven’t dyed it in a few months. I just said screw it. Is it strange? I suppose it is. I never even got grey hair! Just white….

I’m always jealous of people who have naturally interesting hair. Do you know how much money I spent in college trying to have interesting hair?? sigh What I wouldn’t give for an awesome shock lock, like Bonnie Rait…

If you rock it- then it will be sexy.

I’ve always liked the way it looks on pre-menopausal women. After that it can have the dreaded Granny Effect.

As long as they’re my age, it could be interesting…can’t say I’ve ever seen a guy my age with white hair though. I’ve seen very light blond hair, but not white. It was still yellow.

I do a know a guy my age who has gray hairs. It’s like a joke among my friends and I. Most people do not find it very attractive because it makes you look older.

At such a young age I would die it, especially since you are female.

I think white hair is gorgeous. Gray or salt & pepper hair, which I have had since age 19, not so much. I do color my hair, but would not if I had hair like yours.

At least its not pure white in the middle of pure black.

I’m 25, shouldn’t have to pick through my bangs every few days!

White hair is awesome. Except when it makes you look like Santa Claus.

John Slattery. Ooh la la.

Well, Mark Harmon definitely got more attractive after he started going grey.

I would say, it depends on the person.

You could always dye most of it, and leave just the front part white, a la Rogue. Geeks would love you. :D

@evegrimm mmm Mark Harmon-good picture of him. I agree with @gemiwing. Your look is striking and interesting. Must look great if you put it up.

Glad to see the consensus is positive! :)

mcbealer's avatar

@mcbealer ooohoh post post!

Maybe you should bleach it. That way new gray hair wouldn’t be so obvious? ;)

I’m starting to pop in some white hairs myself (mid-twenties). Really, really noticeable.

We’ll see how that goes.

DominicX's avatar

You guys are scaring me; white hair in your mid-20s? Eep!

Luckily I have blond hair so maybe if it happens, it’ll be less noticeable…

JLeslie's avatar

@DominicX graying in your 20’s is genetic, if no one in your family grayed early you probably won’t either. My husband’s family has it, his father and sister, the rest of them don’t go gray until very late. My husband is 42 and his hair is still black and silky like when he was in his 20’s. It’s similar to people who bald in their 20’s, either you have the gene or you don’t.

If you’re talking about Halle Berry as Storm, then absolutely I do.

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

Yes and gray hair too. If the hair is yellowed gray then not so attractive.

SarasWhimsy's avatar

There is some sort of trait in my family where one person goes white very early in each generation. My Uncle started going white when he was 20 and was completely white by the time he was 37. I started going white when I was 13. I’m now 32 and almost half white. I have a few older friends with all white hair and it looks beautiful! I’m actually jealous of my uncle I would love mine to be all white already!

@Grisaille white hair is really hot on men, to me.

Drawkward's avatar

I don’t find it un-attractive, it’s not like a rule or anything like that, it could add to the attractiveness of the person, yet it still depends on the person, of course. I think it always makes (younger) people appear more interesting (or stressed out) and makes me more likely to say hello.

jeanna's avatar

@Drawkward you’d say hello to me anyway. :)

pinkparaluies's avatar

My aunt had gray hair since she was like 15. But shes just got a stripe. Kind of like Stacey Clinton?
I think its really pretty.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@pinkparaluies i believe that stripe is genetic.
