Why is my chihuahua's hair turning white so fast?

I rescued my pup so I don't know specifically how old she is but after taking her the vet we think she may be 3 or 4. She is black but her face is gettng a lot of white hair, is she older or does this mean she is stressed??? Any advice?



Why is my chihuahua's hair turning white so fast?

Actually, the premature whitening of the fur on the face is GENETIC. Dogs with the gene will begin to get white hairs on their face, usually the muzzle and eyebrows, when they are past the age of 2.



Normal whitening due to age occurs much later, around the age of seven.



It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your dog, or that she's stressed. It's just in her genes.



Why is my chihuahua's hair turning white so fast?

its not unusual, maybe she is older than you think



Why is my chihuahua's hair turning white so fast?

it could be either. after a dog hits 2 it is hard to estimate age so she could older than you think. it could also be stress. when did you rescue her and from what?



it is also not uncommon for animal fur color to change. often the fur will get darker to match the color of the ears but that is for buff colored. but it is normal for black hair dogs to get white hairs, becuase itis easier to see against black fur rather than grey or whatever



good luck hope she will be fine!



Why is my chihuahua's hair turning white so fast?

Some dogs just turn white earlier than others. One of my greyhounds, who's black, had an awful lot of white on his face and backs of his legs when he was 2. I wouldn't worry about it at all - if she's healthy, active and happy, she's not stressed, just prematurely grey!!



Why is my chihuahua's hair turning white so fast?

Being stressed could cause her to turn white faced. Ive heard of dogs faces turning completely white over night when someone or a companion animal has died. So if you rescued her she could have been in some bad situations! JUST LOVE HER!

Does anyone know how to prevent early white hair?

I'm 24 and have quite a few white hairs... some random ones and some in 'groups'. Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop this? I have strawberry-blonde hair and I really DO NOT wantg to dye it.



Does anyone know how to prevent early white hair?

white hair is usually due to heredity/genetics so there's really not too many options for you [sorry ;( ]



so people get white hair early b/c of too much stress. the only advice i can give you would be to relax.

Does anyone know how to prevent early white hair?

No way to prevent it. I went to Beauty School. So I guess I would say just DYE IT!

Weaves and Hair?

If you are white can you still get a hair weave?



And when the weave comes out does it break or damnage your own hair?



Also does it matter how long your natural hair is to get a weave, like can it be long or does it need to be short?



Weaves and Hair?

if your white it doesnt matter it all depends on ur hair texture your hair can be long or short it all depends on what kind of hair weave you will get (glue in or sew in) glue in pulls out your hair and sew in if you have real silky hair it can become frizzy under the weave and easily messed up



Weaves and Hair?

Yes



dont know



dont matter

Hair help, please?

okay so i am a bi-racial (black and white) teen with frizzy and curly hair. when my hair is curly, it curls up so tight that its above my shoulders. but when i straighten it, it comes about 4 inches below my shoulder. but i'm tired of the same old hairstyles everyday. could someone please tell me how to achieve other hairstyles? i really like the waves that miley cyrus wears on hannah montana. and the way mia from degrassi wears her hair. and shirley temple curls. i am open for any ideas, and i want to not have to go to the salon to get it done.



thanks in advance!!!



[and could you give me they directions too?]

A lot of my friends are biracial, and some of them had their hair relaxed straight and it looks AMAZING.

I have this very fine white hair that keeps growing back?

on my forehead. Its not my eyebrow or head hair as its near middle and its white. It can get quite long and is fine and I just pull it out with tweezers. What is this and why have i got it?



I have this very fine white hair that keeps growing back?

I've got 2. One on my nose and one on my chin. Its so fine that you can only see it when the light just catches it. It seems to grow so fast as well.



Sorry can't help with a cure, it's just one of those strange things!



I have this very fine white hair that keeps growing back?

i have one too! except mine is on my shoulder, its like a cm or 2 long and i have plucked it twice but it keeps growing back? good to know im not the only one with odd white hairs lol



I have this very fine white hair that keeps growing back?

i don't know either, but i have one under my chin, along with my mom and grandmother....we all just pluck it....i check for it like every 2-3 weeks....seems like it just pops up overnight though.....just keep an eye out for it and keep those tweesers handy!



I have this very fine white hair that keeps growing back?

Used to have one of those on my cheek, just kept pulling it out by the root, over time it got thinner and thinner and finally stopped growing.



I have this very fine white hair that keeps growing back?

I have had that same hair in the middle of my forehead too. I'm not sure what causes it grow like that .

Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

Just Curious cause I don't know how fast my hair is growing but i see a lot of caucasions with long hair!



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

No. Hair is hair.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

im black and my hair grows super fast



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

No, but the curlier your hair, the less it shows the true growth. It is just an illusion.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

i know that white people's hair isnt gross



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

Pure black afro hair is commonly more brittle than caucasian hair, so it breaks more easily. But the growth rate is probably about the same



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

It's cuz most white people's hair is thinner and straighter that it look like it grows faster. I dont think it actually does grow faster.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

It depends on the person. How fast your hair grows has nothing to do with what color your skin is.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

I think so? But I really don't have the foggiest idea. I know I have to get my hair cut every two weeks. Everyone maybe different.. genetics and such.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

the thickness of hair may be slightly different but i dont think it really does grow faster or what.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

no. everyone's hair grows 1/2 inch a month. it's probaly just seems to grow faster because of the texture. best thing to do is take good care of your hair by keeping it healthy. ask a stylist you trust.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

If hair is not washed it grows faster. For black people, they never wash their hairs



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

FYI this question has nothing to do with sports or tennis but i'll answer it anyway. it doesn't matter what skin colour u r it just happens.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

black people's hair is just MUCH more coarse and curlier than white people's stringy straight hair, that's why when black girls do straightening treatments their hair gets longer



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

It only depends on how much delicious food you are taking. It does not depend on whether a person is black or white.



Does white people's hair grow faster than Black people's hair?

no, that's just because white people have less hair and tend to let their hair grow out as opposed to people with thick black hair get it cut more often
