Hi Shelly in DE . . . 

Can't help with the hair growing problem you are experiencing.  I have quite the opposite problem with my husbands mare . . . what to do with all the mane!  She has so much mane that it flops on both sides of her neck and still looks great.

We do have a grey and a paint that is mostly white that can look dirty AFTER a bath.  
My discovery: add a few drops of Mrs. Stewart's Liquid Bluing in the wash water. It turns those greys and whites gleaming clean!  Turns any shampoo into a whitener and it's much cheaper than the already prepared store show shampoos on the market too.  Give it a try.
