That's why you don't use straight white.  You use a gradient of different shades from black to white.  Making a 2-color specular map is pretty self-defeating.

I've actually found that you get better specularity on hair when you use a shader rather than an image map based specularity in the Alternate Specular node, using the Anisotropic node.  A MUST is that your hair has a GOOD Bump map attached so differentiating between strands of hair is visible.
