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.

    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!!! :wink: :flowerforyou:

    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!

    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. :tongue:

    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!

    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!!
