I have now graduated to eyebrows, which I really need to stop since they look like shit!

I have about 5 snow white hairs which I delight in plucking out, however whilst doing so today I wondered if the old wive’s tale were true –   If you pluck out one white hair will two grow back? Excitedly and spurned by my WHPA (White Hair Plucking Addiction) I furiosly Googled the fact. Sadly, it turns out to be a myth, however the search lead me to your blog, which was a positive, and I must say I was literally laughing out loud.   Brilliant writing, and I am comforted to know their are others out there with the same affliction. I am off to read the rest of your articles now….love your work!

 @ksmith228  You seem to be a bit crazy.  Cats will not solve this.  Run, do not walk, to the nearest head shrinker.  Prepare to lay on the couch for awhile.  🙂

 @LittleAnimation  Oh, and I look forward to seeing you at the Non-Con.  Ha.

 @LittleAnimation  Silver hairs do nothing for me.  White is where it’s at.  And fuzzballs on sweaters – I couldn’t care less.  You’re super weird.  You hear me?  WEIRD!

Young looking hair on an aging face looks weird to me. Other than that, I guess I’m obsessively wacky about those fuzzballs you get on sweaters. I want to pull them off even on strangers. I love it.

Cool blog bro. Stay away from my silver streak.

I’m obsessed with them. I’ve made my son obsessed with them too. We can’t have one in the apartment we have now and we are super anxious to move just so we can get a cat! We don’t care about anything else. The new place could be a dump just as long as we can have a feline companion living with us! My daughter likes dogs. That’s why no one likes her.

@delfinparis

My mom would pay my younger brother & me pennies (I don’t remember exactly the amount) to tweeze out her white hair…which would stand out against her straight black (Asian) hair. It was from there that my own obsession was honed. Sitting pretty at age 36, I have started seeing my own ugly white hairs sprouting from my near black hair…not a good thing! Actually, I’ve had white hair coming in since I was in my mid to late 20’s…mother’s genetics, thanks. =(

I have “White Hair Picking Days” where I prop myself on the bathroom vanity and angle the mirrors in every which way, parting hair using clips & my mouth…I have long straight hair. I spend hours at a time doing this! I Love & Hate it! My “fantasy” is to find a friend who too has this obsession, so we can groom one another. Because honestly, do you feel my “pain”…it’s taxing to do it to yourself, and I’m such a perfectionist that I’m never convinced that I got ’em all!

I do it because I’m saving the health of my hair by NOT adding chemical colorant to it to hide the whites that with a lil’ elbow grease & patience, I can eliminate “naturally.” Luckily I have a lush head of hair so thinning isn’t an issue for me.

I tweeze out my husband’s white hair too. He’s mildly annoyed when I run for my tweezers when I spot a rogue hair, albeit white or in an unwanted area. There’s nothing more annoying than trying to pull a hair, only to have it slip your grip…causing it to spiral curl…cute but annoyingly cute! Make sense?!

Curious & happy to find that I’m NOT alone! =)

@delfinparis The drive isn’t the issue. The issue is that my probation officer has made it abundantly clear that I am not to leave the state. Or commit any crimes. And being in your presence, I’m thinking we’d commit some weird crime. Blotter worthy, I’m sure.
