One fine afternoon, I had a conversation with a friend who lives in the same house with me. I tucked my hair behind my left ear and she was kind of shock and excited "hey you have a white hair! Let me pluck it for you!"
She was so ready to pluck it and I said,"Hey chill. Let it be. That's okay."
"Why?" She said.
I didn't answer that question,"I also have another one here." I showed her another white hair on my head near my forehead.
"But why?" She was confused.
"I like it and I don't want to pluck it. I really like it."

Should I call this White Hair instead of Gray Hair? Because mine is white. It's really white and not a mixed black-white. I'll keep the title "Gray Hairs" though.
I'm going to use 'white' in this post.
As a 24-year-old woman, I don't find it as a bad thing. Also, this is not like the first time I noticed it. I am pretty sure I still have other white hairs on the back of my head because even you pluck it, its follicle still produce the same hair. :P
My youngest brother is different, he started to have his white hairs which is a lot in his teenage life. Like a lot. Not full of white hair, but it's a lot. He's not confident enough to have it. Not once or twice he tried to tell me he wanted to dye his hair.
I always tell him, "No. Just let it be. You look good with it. It looks nice on you."
I always brush his hair back and forth with my fingers whenever I have a chance, to see his white hairs and his "no sis it doesn't look good on me please" face hahaha
Big chance is he got it from my dad. My dad also already had his white hair early on his 30s. When I was 5 years old -- my dad was 36 at the moment, I've already refused my father's choice to dye his hair black to hide his white hair. He said, he looks younger when he dyed his hair. Dad, please.
Until now, he is 55, he still doesn't like his white hair.
And until now too, I still can't convince my dad to not dye his hair black. He looks good with his white hair -- once he was kinda late to dye his hair haha.
I don't like it when his dyed hairs starting to scream, if it can talk, it'd scream," RE-DYE US PLEASE LIKE RIGHT NOW WE ARE NOT LOOK GOOD ANYMORE."
Honestly, dying his hair black made him looks older not younger.
I like that when a man who has gray hair doesn't give a f with his gray/white hair especially in his mid age. They show some confidence and look so much more attractive and different in a good way. Honestly.
And when they are older -- let's say 45+ --and still have that energy -- you know the positive vibes, they really look so much younger.
In the end, we all are going to have white hairs anyway. We all are aging each seconds.
Don't pluck it. It will grow the same.
Don't dye it. It looks good on you. It really is.
I'll post a picture of my white hair tomorrow. If I remember..
