Mamta S asked:
My 12-year-old daugher has visible gray hairs. A lot of it.
She get’s teased a lot too. And she complains about it.
People call her “old”. It’s really annoying just to be harrassed for one small flaw.
It doesn’t look very nice, you’ve got to admit though with her very short very curly hair.
Got any ideas how to make it better?
No coloring. It will make it worse.
“Sexy” isn’t the real keyword. It’s just that she’s afraid no boy will like her because she has gray hairs.
I want to know a way how I can get rid or reverse gray hair.
Are you opposed to getting it colored??
dye it, then everyone will think she looks cute and a lot of kids are getting their hair colored these days
Why are you trying to make your 12 year old look sexy? Go get her hair colored….
dye her hair.
shades of blond foils.
She is 12, so don’t highlight it, or dye it a funky color, dye it to match her natural color. Nice -N- Easy is designed to cover grey hair and it is inexpensive, virtually fool proof. Make a mommy-daughter night of it. Rent some chic flicks, have popcorn etc, and dye her hair, wash it out in the kitchen sink and then go veg on the couch and watch the movie. By the time the movie is over her hair will be completely dry and you can both sigh a breathe of relief when you see the greys gone.
aside from coloring it, I can’t think of any way to detract from the gray. If you find a good colorist, she should be able to assess and work with your daughter’s hair type, curly or thick or short, whatever the case may be ..I’m sure they can do a good job. maybe there’s a supplement she can take that would help? I’d go for a color close to her natural color, or maybe a light color won’t show much when the gray comes back btwn colors. or, she could embrace it as her trademark:) i had a high school friend with some gray hair (also very curly and dark, she was lebanese) and that was just her thing and everybody respected it and was cool with it. might be easier than frequent trips to the colorist…i think it will get easier as she gets older..if you do color, get the kits to do touch ups at home..save time and money!
