100 words: A grey hair

Two months ago I found a grey hair on my head. First reaction was very loud screaming. The second reaction was devastation.

My Mum told me her hair was totally grey at my age which didn’t only scare me but also made me very sad.

But then I remembered that every grey hair and every wrinkle on my face are expressions of all experiences I had in my life which I wouldn’t give up for anything.

Still, I don’t want to have grey hair, so I’ll dye my hair when I’ll have too much grey hair to pull them out.

  1. My first gray hair appeared when I was twenty-five. I was not ready for that kind of commitment, so I dyed it burgundy until my thirtieth birthday-I promised my grandmother I'd stop then. Nowadays, it looks like I have cobwebs in my hair, but I've grown to accept it.

  2. I got my first grey hair when I was 18 and started dyeing it in my 20s. Hair dye is a wonderful thing! I don't mind wrinkles though. No botox for me!

  3. Oh. How sweet are you?! Grey hair is hot on a man. For women..that's why they invented hair products! xo

  4. Ha @Starlight have to tell you @SnapPhoto52 started going grey at your age! He had a lot of grey by the time he turned 30. He can feel your pain!

  5. hahaha...how I can relate to this! I started going grey at 26 and have been dying it ever since...I was NOT happy about it. I agree with Rita-how unfair that grey hair on a man is so sexy--but a woman--not so much! Ugh...hang in there, sweets.

  9. I have a dozen and so far I pull them out when they get too long but I am too lazy to dye my hair. I just wish it went grey overnight instead of getting these awkward lone strands that stand out so much!
