When I first got my period years ago, I had two really superstitious aunts who told me that, if I washed my hair during my period...it would turn white.
I actually believed this for a few months. I went 4-5 days without washing my hair.
This thread reminds me of the episode of the Cosby Show where Rudy gets her period for the first time and her friends fill her head with myths.
"Because without 'a visit from Aunt Flow' there would be no uncles!"
