Getting older sucks

I am finding more and more hairs in places they should not be the older I get. I have about 6 black hairs that keep growing on my chin. I pluck them out twice a week. I also have blonde hair on my big toe and stomach near my belly button. I don't remember this happening when I was younger. Gross. Who else has noticed hair where it shouldn't be?

    My eyebrows sometimes sprout huge grey hairs now, but I like getting older

    My hair can't gray out like normal people, oh no. I have a giant pure white streak like Rouge from X-Men. It looks ridiculous and then when I color it and it grows in so long it looks like I have a bald patch, its just thick pure white hair it just looks awful.

    Sounds like hormonal and protein changes in your body. If it concerns you see an MD.

    At my age, the loss of hair seems to be an ongoing situation.

    I started getting grey hair at 16, don't have any hair yet where it shouldn't be though.

    Well it got worse after I got pregnant and during pregnancy, but I had my baby almost 14 months ago. I thought I'd be back to normal by now.

    I don't wish to make light of your situation, but that sounds awesome to me. You had me at Rogue from the Xmen.

    The only thing worse is the alternative.

    Its genetic, my dad was salt and pepper at 18, pure white By his 30s. My mom has been pure white for about 10 years now and she is in her 50s. I'm shot genetically.

    LOL. It does not help my natural hair color is medium brown with red and blond high lights and the white streak is right at the front.
