Noooooo!

I just got out my compact to apply some lipstick, and what did I notice in the mirror? That I'm going silver. Not just gray, SILVER. There are a ton of silver hairs popping up all over my head. When did that happen? I know I've always had a few grays, ever since I was about fourteen, but now they're all over! My temples seem to be sprouting silver hairs, and my bangs are full of them. I mean, I know I always said that if I were to go completely gray, I'd want to go silver like my dad's hair. (What's left of it, that is.) I didn't expect it would start so soon, though! I just hit my late twenties, for Pete's sake! And it's not like I can hide this easily. My hair is so dark that anything less than medium brown stands out like mad. I mean, I'd rather have silver than gray, but not yet!

I'm going to have to dye my hair. Poop.

Welcome to the club! I started spontaneously sprouting silver hair in my late 20s as well... now in my mid-30s, and it's still slowly trying to take over. I'm just really glad I didn't start going gray when I was 19, like my mom did.

I've found a total of four white hairs in recent months. It's horrifying. For one thing, I never expected to go gray. My mamau didn't, and my hair is just like hers in texture and color. For another, I'm finding wrinkles all the time. I figured I could deal with one but would never have to deal with the other.

Hugs and commiseration from a fellow up and coming lil old lady.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

After eight years of dealing with 120+ high schoolers a day, I STILL have no grey hairs. OK, I may have stretch marks (and not just from Yakpoo), but I can't help but giggle uncontrollably at your misfortune. Tee hee!!! Of course, does my laughing at you now ensure that I will have to use Rogaine for Women in a few years? Uh oh....

And now, for the ultimate insult:

You have Edie hair! You have Edie hair! But you do look good for a woman your age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I know you'll never forgive me for that, but I don't care!)

Two words: FUCK. YOU.

Here's another 15 words: You get your hair from Mom. Mom gets her hair from Grandma. Do the math.

I'm very, very sorry.

I still haven't found another gray hair since that last one I whined about. :)
