    Definately dont pull them out!

    Dye them as looptheloop says. I recommend Clairol.... really good for grey coverage.

    my boyf is going grey since he's 18 and always uses it. Just make sure you use a colour close to your haircolour. His hair is black (well the bits that arent grey :D) so he uses a really dark brown dye as it covers the grey and just makes his hair really shiny. Any time he uses black dye it looks rediculus... its just too dark and always has a bluey sheen to it

    That's very true, I have a friend who dyes hers that colour (she's naturally brown) and it looks desperate on her as she's naturally pale.

    Whats wrong with pulling the grey ones as a matter of interest?

    Old wives tale I think. I guess if you have started to go grey, more will appear anyway, and not because you pulled others out.

    That what I want to believe anyway, and not that pulling them out turned mine more grey. :D

    Or shaving :D

    Can safely say I've never had a grey hair on my head

    plucking grey hair has no effect... it'll just grow back grey again as you hair turns grey follicle by follicle

    the whole thing with "pluck one and three will grow back..." is a total myth ....although I used to get a great laugh telling the boyf that after I had spent 20mins plucking a few out :D

    He used to get me to pluck a few out until I told him it was just pointless... they will always grow back eventually

    Poor quality dyes like the ones you buy in stores will turn orange over time, and to be honest, they don't cover greys very well. If you have very long hair, you'll find that the ends of your hair will need to be trimmed constantly. If you're only talking six hairs, pluck them! They will not multiply. But over time, as a matter of course you will probably get more.

    What I do is I use henna, an all natural dye, on my greys. It only deposits color and doesn't bleach the hair first. So my grey hair turns dark blonde and looks like pretty highlights, while the rest of my hair stays brown. And it stays healthy and shiny.

    That's my two cents, having struggled with it for years.

    are you m or f? If you're male don't worry about it or if you are just get your hair cut tighter.
