WTF?! Gray Hair?
I'm fucking 31 and I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and I see fucking gray hair.

Good thing I have blonde hair, or I'd really be pissed.
I must need to release some stress...

3. yeah but there's a point where
all the silver threads among the gold suddenly make you blonde only at night in dim light.

Just-For-Men hair color: it's not just for breakfast any more.

5. no shit.
I thought about when I'm home, looking through the rest to see how pervasive it is.

But, then I might not like the results.

4. Well I am almost 43
and I just noticed alot more gray.
I think it is the last election that is causing it.
and the SOTU
and the budget
and the social security battle
and the gay marriage thing they are voting on in Kansas
feels like Germany circa 1934 to me.

13. not 'A' gray hair.
A big fucking patch of it. Just recently got a hair cut and now I can see this rather large area that is not "blonde" anymore.

Pity me, dammit!!! :P :silly:

I started getting gray hair even before I stopped getting pimples.

29. Sally, eh?
1. There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know you've got somewhere to go,
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.

Chorus: Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

2. The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.

Chorus: Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.


3. I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.

Chorus: Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

26. Yeah it really shows
when your hair is nearly black, like mine. Think highlights. You can get nice discrete ones, I think John Edwards got highlights, at least it looked that way. I had them for about 2 years and I decided to dye my hair really dark and let it grow out naturally. So naturally a few greys are coming in now but I'm 48 in a few months so it's to be expected.

30. Awww. Poor baby.
My husband had chestnut hair when we married. He started to go white at 29. He has beautiful, thick silver hair now.

My girls have his hair. Our 25 year old is getting silver highlights. Right now, her hairdresser is blending them and giving her blond highlights. In a few years, she will probably let it go natural.

Many of the members of my husband's family got silver hair quite young. It is beautiful.

32. I've got a few gray hairs on my beard & one gray chest hair...
so far. I pluck it :P

But I'm 34, and I didn't get the first gray till last year (33).

So if you're 31, that means you're two years ahead of me... thus you are obviously up shit's creek without a paddle :7 No turning back now bob... running the rapids of old age. :P

33. Grey hair is expected...
I'm in my fifties, and my hair is still jet black. Women ask me all the time if I dye it, even though there's a fair amount of grey in my beard...don't they think I'd dye the VanDyke as well if I was going to dye my hair?

34. Wait 'til you find your first gray PUBIC hair
My partner found his a year ago, when he first turned 40. I don't think he's recovered yet.

35. I started getting them in my teens, as did my father.
We both still have our hair, though, and he's in his mid-seventies.

37. I found my first gray hair at 17.
Fortunately it hasn't gone epidemic yet, but I still find one every now and then.

38. I'm twenty eight, my hair's almost completely gray.
I don't see what the deal is, I think it makes me look distinguished.
