Oh my goodness!!!! For some reason the grays are showing up and showing out. Now don't get me wrong, I do love gray/white hair, but not on 26 year old me :-/ Hhhhmmmm...I remember the day I found my first gray like it was just a few months ago-hehehe, it was a few months ago. So, I was at school, and I was in the restroom, and like most women I was taking a look at myself to make sure I looked decent, and there it was!!! Mr. Gray was just sitting there like he was doing nothing wrong. Okay, I thought, no need to panic, 1 for team gray, thousands for team black. Then what do I see about a month after that? That's right, Mr. Gray decides to invite some company on over. So once again, I think, okay, two strands of gray, I can live with that. So after taking some time out to acknowledge that everyone grays at different rates, and having a deep internal struggle about if I'd color or not, I learned to accept and love my little gray curlies. However, I have to say, today I had my hair in two braids, and one of my little gray lovelies decides to go peeping out. Okay now, I let the gray stay, even started embracing it, and it's going to go and act up, just go sticking out making sure everyone notices it. Hhmmmm.....guess that's life :-)Tootles for now,

Did you spy the gray in the top pic? :-) He's a sneaky little one
Haha! That is life! I hate to get personal on your blog but you obviously have hair like your father. He started graying in his early twenties.
ReplyDeleteI say embrace the gray! Then again, I don't have any grays (finding all the wood in my apartment to knock on) :p
ReplyDeleteHa ha Ms. Chiropeek,
ReplyDeleteYou are right (finally), some of my early gray might be hereditary, and the rest stress. Luckily, my Daddy started turning gray in his mid twenties (thanks to you no doubt;-), but didn't finish that process up until his fifties. And by the time I'm in my fifties I'm sure I won't really care much if my hair is gray or not :-)
PS to any readers, Chiropeek is my wonderful sister, so I get to tease her as much as I want, pay back:-)
Quick semi-aside. I read an article that states that our hair doesn't actually "turn" gray perse, but instead our hair falls out and is replaced by gray hair. We have a certain number of hairs on our head and some falls out everyday. Well at a certain point when the new hair grows in it no longer grows the color that we had, but instead grows in gray; this is the explanation as to why stress can "turn" your hair gray. Stress can cause your hair to fall out, and then it is replaced by new gray strands. Interestante no? :-)
