I want to cry.....

GTOgirl1969

I was brushing my hair...and it happened. I found a gray hair! I feel like I'm getting old and that just reinforces it. I decided that I'm not going to allow myself to get old and run-down and I'm going to push just that extra little bit harder when I work out.

Who here has found those dreaded first gray hairs, and how do y'all deal with it? This is really bothering me.

Here...you can borrow some of mine....



You're still a pup, don't worry about one! :flowerforyou:

TamTastic

Wow, yes..I agree with Ali.....clairol or herbal essences..whatever you want...will become a good friend!! Trust me, they start coming in pretty fast too. You find one and it seems like it starts the ball rolling. Not trying to scare you, but just let you know it isn't a huge deal! It doesn't mean you're old! It's just genetics when they start to come......you are still a young, hot, rockin chick!!! :flowerforyou:

Yup. My son always tells me "Mom you have to go gray some time." No I don't. :noway: :bigsmile:

BreaNix

I started getting grey hair when I was 16. So not necessarily an age thing.

Ditto on Tam and Ali that hair dye becomes a great friend. :laugh:

I've been getting my hair colored since I was around 28... that's when I discovered my first few "white" hairs.... I have no clue what my natural color is now!

Skittles6617

Girl , I started getting grey in high school!!! Hair color works wonders. Not cheap, but it works, and you get to be a new person every time you get it done.

My husband has been grey for the last few years now, and at first he dyed it but he hated the upkeep, now he shaves his head. I don't imagine that's an option for you :laugh: :laugh: I haven't found any grey in my hair, but a few pure white strays. Hopefully they take their time cause I can't imagine having to dye my hair every few weeks. Plus we're only in our early thirties. My husband was so grey that people thought he was my dad....poor guy!

kimford28

My friends found a few greys in my hair the other day.. It was like they wanted to frame it or something... kinda funny:)

CrystalBella

omg i've been dyin my hair since i was 16 to cover up the greys.. we get it early in my family! lol

so yeh, find you a good color.. you can go with your natural or a brand new YOU! lmao

SoupNazi

I wouldn't worry too much about it until you start looking like this.......

Benson

Don't cry They are just wisdom hairs!! I don't know why they have to stick straight out from your head but they do! I hate the upkeep but I have younger kids so I keep doing it. Anyway my mind and heart are not the same age as my old bod (and hair) so I'll color away!!

kerrilucko

I found one yesterday and I'm only 24! In fact I found my first at 16. no worries, you can always dye it is you feel that strongly. :flowerforyou:

jsmalla

I really wish I could sympathize with you all . . . but . . .

I was hoping my hair would turn grey before it turned loose. :laugh:

quinnybear

i'm 24 and found my first few gray hairs when i was 22. i just pluck 'em and show them to my husband and say, "you see what you do to me!" lol

sindyb9

I have been getting them since I was 17, hair dye works :bigsmile:

iluvsparkles

diannholland1965

First of all BREATH!
It is going to be OK.
I remember my first one and MAN did I forget the importance of breathing...
Yes I know how you feel dear.
But in this day and age as stated before you CAN STOP THEM! OR at the very least join them.
I dye my hair to the natural color, I do it about every month.
It is a small price to pay as far as I am concerned.
I am a Clairol girl and you BET I AM WORTH IT!
I also have a girl friend the Bleaches sections (Like highlights.) that she saw a gray hair in. In effect JOINING THEM.
Which I have considered, HOWEVER for one reason or another my gray hair is thicker then my already thick hair and springy-er to boot. So it might be blond but it will still be sticking stright out from my head like a horn. For those that decide to be TOO unruley, I pluck them out. :laugh:

NO worries!! Im 24 and have a few...actually I had a friend in University who had a full head of grey hair and she just grew it and added black low lights...I liked it.....just stand tall and hold your head up no need to worry about lil hairs!...and DO NOT PLUCK them as I have heard that will cause more to grow and faster!!

ladywalkalot

Grey hair is just your body's natural sparkles......

calatibo

yep, been going grey since i turned 25. But being a bloke i am going to go for the dignified silver wings look.

AJCM

I too have the odd stray gray (make that "wirey white"), and I also pluck, as there are not enough to warrant dye.

It is an old wives tale that they will grow back faster or more plentifiul, however according to my stylist, if you pull at an odd angle, and damage the folicle, the hair from that folicle can grow back in odd directions. Therefore, always pluck in the direction of the hair growth... any waxers out there will know exactly what I mean - the waxed hair grows back in strange directions!). :sick:

You're as young as you feel, and as young as make the effort to make yourself look!
