Why are the little hairs around my hairline blond?

[The Savvy Sistah]

Sorry, I don't have a picture because you can't see it. (I tried) You have to be right up on it, because it's so fine and right around the hairline.

I started noticing it a few weeks ago when I was out in the sun. (My forhead got a little dark).

It looks like new hair and its growing around my hairline.

I just wanted to know if this happened to anyone and why it looks blond.

do you use any facial cleansers or something with peroxide in it? I remember when I was in junior high.... girls would put peroxide on their hairline to dye it blonde.

 

[Jynkx]

ive always noticed this on myself. just the tiny baby hair.

Hmm. I just assumed everyone had blond hair around their hairline.

Mine has been like that for as long as I can remember.

 

[The Savvy Sistah]

Ok I feel better!

I just never noticed it before.

I think that getting out in the sun just made it show up more than it has.

I was just really curious to why it's blond and if it will eventually

change to my normal hair color.

My Mom, brother, and I all have those "sandy blonde" (my mom calls them that) baby hairs!
I also have them on my arms, you can barely notice them

My son is like that. I just think it is a trait that some people have.

 

[Kurly K]

I have those too, and they've always been thr )

I've got them too. I've had them forever.

I get them on my arms and the top of my shoulders..I think it's because of the sun exposure.

My mom has them on her arms, her legs and around her hairline. She also has very light hair though.
I have it too on my arms and around my hairline.
Oh and my brother has them too

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I have them still i think (im not 100%positive though) and my daughter defnitely has them. I thought everybody did so now I feel stupid

My son is like that. I just think it is a trait that some people have.

My oldest ds has it too...and, trust me, he has NOT been washing his face with any peroxide type products

I don't think it's real scalp hair.

Most if not all people have these very fine, colorless hairs all around their bodies. It's just a type of body hair.
