i'm going grey. i was a bit horrified but then my friends said 'thats why we have been dying our hair since our early twenties'. i was in my late twenties / early thirties when mine started coming through, so i guess i'm lucky.

i pulled them out for a bit. but now there are too many, and i'm worried that if i keep that up i'll start going bald. if they are very short (and a bit spiky) i'll pull them, but if they are long i leave them alone now. want to try and age gracefully / naturally if possible... but will see how that starts to look (fairly dark hair naturally).

apparently that is why people get foils done. to try and cover the grey. lighter colour than natural is supposed to be more flattering generally, and does a better job of covering grey than trying to dye them darker and having roots regrowth to deal with.

guess it shows my age to be worrying about such things...

my friends mother was very lucky indeed to get two streaks of WHITE in the front of naturally black hair. couldn't have been luckier. distinguished, indeed. i reckon i'm going to get a very salt and pepper look that will just make me look older than i would look if i dyed it... will take some time for me to see...

one of my undergrad psychology professors had the most beautiful steel grey long hair. i kinda want that. she didn't look old for it... the greys are a coarser texture... maybe say goodbye to flyaway hair once and for all. i do envy straight black asian hair. dammit.
