Gray Hair Hacks: 5 Genius Ways to Cover Silver StrandsWhether you have a few pesky strays or a full head of gray hair, we're filling you in on the best way to hide your white hairs |
If You Have A Single Gray Hair... The situation: You do one final mirror check before stepping out the door to meet that hot date and that's when you spot it: A single, blindingly white, can-be-seen-from-the-moon white hair.

"If you are noticing only a couple of grays, I would recommend to snip at the root and never pluck," says Johnny Ramirez, co-founder and owner of Ramirez Tran salon.
