Does anyone know of anything to put on white hairs to turn them back..

...to their original colour? Someone suggested there was something but can't remember the name! Thanks

i didnt think they would ever change back once they have gone white - depending on colour of horse you could temporarily die it if it is for a show class or similar short period.

White hairs are due to trauma or excess pressure from tack. The cells are damaged and the hair will not return to the original colour

I've used mens hair colourant for covering grey hair. It worked well on a dark bay on a small area.

Someone on here has said that there is something that can turn the hair back to its true colour but cannot remember what it was called.

Going to go against the grain here but they can return to their normal colour.

My friends horse has white hair appear under the saddle area, as soon as the saddle was sorted no more white hairs came, however she had to wait until spring for the new hair to come though and the white hair then fell out and it was fine - back to normal colour.

It must be some sort of dye

Well thats what i thought but she said someone on here told her about it and to post to try and find them.

cornucresine can work on a recently healed wound but i use Clairol nice n easy root touch up- check out the top picture with Dex's shoulder freezemark covered up:

id say for a show or something short term to coverup grey hairs that you should just use root touch up, or hair dye or something like that.

If its under tack id get hte tack sorted/checked

Used to be called Grecian2000.If you use this tho it works over a period of time so don't expect to use one day before a show.Will say it worked on my welsh cob.The white hair will grow back in tho.
